Perk Adjuster

Purpose

Perk Adjuster is an SKSE framework for the manipulation of perks. It allows for easy name changing while maintaining a high compatibility profile and perk placement.

Usage

Perk Adjuster works on a set of rules. Rules are defined in Data\SKSE\Plugins\PerkAdjuster\ as json files.

{
    "descriptions": [
      {
        "plugins": [
          "Plugin1.esm"
        ],
        "changes": [
          {
            "perk": "0xFormID|PluginSource.esp",
            "newDescription": "..."
          }
        ]
      }
    ],
    "additions": [
      {
        "perk": "0xFormID|PluginSource.esp",
        "skill": "0xFormID|PluginSource.esp",
        "x": 1.0,
        "y": 0.5,
        "parents": [
          "0xFormID|PluginSource.esp"
        ],
        "children": [
          "0xFormID|PluginSource.esp"
        ]
      }
    ]
}

1. Descriptions Descriptions defines description changes. Given a perk in the form of a formatted string (0xFormID|PluginSource.esp) or an EditorID (PerkEDID) if PowerOfThree's Tweaks are installed, the perk's description is changed to the specified one.
2. Additions Additions defines new perks. Given a perk, skill, position, and optionally parents and children the framework will place the given perk in the tree and connect it to its parents and children.

Building

Requirements

1. Install VCPKG and add its installation location in an environment variable called "VCPKG_ROOT".
2. Install CMake.
3. Install VS with C++ Desktop Development
4. Clone this repository.
5. Open a Git Bash/Powershell Window in the project folder, and run this command: git submodule update --init --recursive
6. Open the project in VS, wait for CMake to finish, and build the project.

Automagically deploy

If you want to deploy directly in a MO2 instance, you can add the mods folder of that instance in an environment variable called "SKYRIM_MODS_FOLDER". Upon building, it will automatically create a mod folder in that location with the built DLL inside.
