Starborn Space Suit Visor FX Plus

Why does this exist?

I'm picking up where Krevil left off with Starborn Space Suit Visor FX. The mod is great, but it lacked NPC functionality and had a minor bug with the Materia being assigned the wrong helmet, as it should have been given the NPC Hunter helmet. The open permissions on the mod page meant I might as well update it myself than hope for an update to appear. Plus, it was my first time learning how to write Papyrus scripts. And now, thanks to the help of TwoArmedMan15, the mod is updated for compatibility with the latest game version.

Installation and Compatibility

I made sure to use the same filenames as the original mod to mitigate any potential save games issues updating to this version. Existing compatibility patches made for version 1. 1 will need updating if they contained ARMO record overrides, as the attach points and keywords of Starborn Space Suits have changed since then. To install, use your mod manager of choice to handle installation.

Version 2. 0 Update Notes

[]Due to the massive script changes made in this version, it is recommended that you load your save file with the previous version disabled and then save again before installing and enabling version 2. 0.[/]

[]Gameplay Options menu contain the settings that govern the Visor FX.[/]

[]Auto FX and Manual FX modes are mutually exclusive again instead of the previous hybrid approach due to the complexity of the new scripts. [/]

[]Toggle aid item controls the Manual FX and will not be in your inventory while Auto FX mode is on. Using a toggle item will display a notification of that setting's new status. The game might take a couple seconds to add the toggle item to your inventory after changing to Manual FX mode.[/]

[]Player and NPC Visor FX are separate gameplay options. Visor FX for both operate on similar conditions in Auto FX mode and are mutually controlled by the toggle item in Manual FX mode.[/]

[]Same NPC restrictions as before apply, so it will not trigger Visor FX on Starborn NPCs nor anyone not wearing a Starborn Suit. Mods that add NPC_Starborn_Perk to your companions WILL NOT be compatible with this.[/]

[]NPC Reset FX aid item added to mod for use in case NPC functionality stops for some unforeseen reason. Set it to a favorite equipment slot and use after exiting the inventory screen to ensure it applies properly to nearby NPCs. It works by temporarily replacing the cloak ability used to apply the NPC Visor FX magic effect with a cloak ability that removes the magic effect. The replacement lasts for a few seconds, and a notification will appear after the reset cloak ability is removed from the player. The original cloak ability is swapped back in only if NPC Visor FX is enabled.[/
