Enderal Special Edition Changelog
Ported by Eddoursul et al

See https://en.wiki.sureai.net/Enderal:Patch for the list of official patches up to version 1.6.4.

Beware, spoilers ahead!


2.1.0 (TBD)
This update requires starting a new game.
As of this release, Enderal SE is compatible with Skyrim SE from 1.5.97 to 1.6.1170.

Core changes:
- Remapped two new Enderal races to match Skyrim FormIDs. Patching races is no longer required to convert Skyrim armor mods, some of them are now compatible without any changes.
- The core quest Levelsystem and its scripts, including _00E_QuestFunctions, have been refactored into separate, smaller components to ensure better Enderal moddability (do not confuse with mod compatibility).
- Core scripts now have internal version control. Versions of all scripts start with 1 and will be incremented individually. When a mod modifies a script with its older revision, user sees a warning.
- All Enderal scripts and used Skyrim scripts have been repacked into self-contained 'E - Misc.bsa'. 'Skyrim - Misc.bsa' is overridden by an empty archive, removing almost 13000 scripts from registration in runtime. To modify Enderal scripts, just install ScriptsEnderal.zip as a mod.
- Lockpicking gold bonuses and skill requirements, hidden stashes, unlock scrolls, combat music were reworked from hundreds of attached scripts to centralized controllers.

Engine tweaks:
- Pre-rendered cutscenes can be interrupted.
- Due to Bink playback freezing in bordered window, borderless mode is now enforced, togglable in EnderalSE.ini.
- The achievement fix is now included. (It serves only aesthetic purpose in Enderal, removing the [M] label from modded savegames.)

User interface:
- All crucial UI tweaks moved to DLL, including locked dialogs and keeping health bar visible below 100%. Remaining interface files contain only nice-to-have tweaks, all Skyrim UI overhauls are now compatible out of the box.
- Quest journal opens on Tab in locked dialogs, like in Enderal LE.
- The hero menu is more responsive, can be opened through the Skills option on Tab and Quick Stats hotkey, and supports widescreen resolution.
- Custom map markers can be placed on discovered locations (from powerofthree's Tweaks).
- Placing map markers on undiscovered locations happens without a confirmation prompt.
- Added an MCM option to toggle companion health bars.
- SkyUI font is set to 'large' by default.
- Updated Polish UI translation.

Werewolf updates:
- Expanded the collision box, making werewolves and melee builds more viable against other werewolves, Bonerippers, and Vatyrs.
- Fixed freezing in the beginning of one of werewolf killmoves thanks to improved werewolf behaviors from Precision Creatures by NickaNack.
- Fixed inability to turn off werewolf killmoves.
- Fixed inability to break spider webs.

- Updated dagger crit bonuses: minimum multiplier set to 2, fixed missing crit bonus with the Ambush daggers, increased bonus with mystical and unique items.
- Added a quick start prompt, allowing to start from the first meditation.
- Reworked autosave system. Timed autosaves are now rotated in their own queue and no longer get overwritten by regular Skyrim autosaves on travel or sleep.
- The Blueprint Collection moved to the MISC section, it is no longer sold in the bank and is added automatically with the first found blueprint.
- Added an option to automatically store single copies of blueprints, leaving duplicates in inventory.
- Added an MCM option to toggle kill moves. bVATSdisable is taken into account only on new game, mid-game it obeys the KillMove global variable.
- Improved critters, added CritterSpawn Congestion Fix by Excinerus and Butterflies Unchained by runesick.
- Ice Claws are now consumed without picking them up (inspired by root1's mod). Eating one shows a corner notification with new carry weight.
- Oil pools ignite from shocking spells, fixed other cases when they did not ignite but should have.
- Reduced damage dealt by Lords of the Lost Ones and Dal Galar's servants by 35%, slightly lowered damage from Elemental Wolves and Mad Rats.
- Fixed pipe smoking, sometimes starting on reading some receipts and opening some containers (now for sure).

- Added fixes for two Skyrim scripts, causing infinite loop in background - TrapSwingingWall by subhuman100 and Unnecessarily Fixed Fixed Dragon Stalking Fix by tarlazo and KirbonatedBeverage.
- Moved UnlockAchievement from Game.pex to a dedicated script, Steam.pex, to prevent cases when users install SKSE on top of Enderal, overwriting Game.pex and breaking their achievements.
- All crafting prompts are now perk-based. Removed scripts _00E_Theriantrophist_BlockCraftingSC, FS_NQ05_AlchemyScript, and FS_NQ07_AlchemyScript from all crafting stations. They should no longer be added to any new objects.

- Both of Enderal's DLLs have been rewritten to CommonLibSSE-NG and rebuilt for compatibility with SE+AE:

-- Renamed fs.dll to EnderalSE.dll, its internal name changed from fs_skse_functions to EnderalSE.
-- Renamed fs_steam.dll to EnderalSteam.dll, its internal name changed from fs_skse_steam to EnderalSteam.
-- Flat Map Markers and Stay At The System Page have been included into EnderalSE.dll (based on Ryan McKenzie's code, released by the MIT license).
-- Added INI options EnderalSE.ini and EnderalSteam.ini.
-- EnderalSE.dll now performs compatibility checks on game load and warns about found issues. The game will unconditionally show an error and close after detecting Skyrim DLC, Creation Club content, and USSEP. In the main menu, the game will check for loaded Skyrim worldspaces and cells, unconverted map data, and verify integrity of important game objects.

- SKSE is now the only hard requirement for Enderal:
-- Refactored _00E_Theriantrophist_AlchemyControl to use vanilla arrays instead of JContainers.
-- Moved MCM from the Levelsystem quest and refactored health bars to SKSE events, allowing to play without SkyUI. (There is no alternative way to change Enderal settings yet.)

gavrant:

- Changed several male NPCs that were using the special beards _00E_BeardTealor and _00E_MC_LexBeard to use the corresponding vanilla beards. This results in their hairs and beards to look more similar colour- and texture-wise.
- Changed two NPCs present during the cleansing to use the correct cleansing eyes.
- Changed another NPC (not present during the cleansing) to not use the cleansing eyes, but the blind human ones (which are similar in appearance). This ensures that only NPCs during in the cleansing use the cleansing eyes.
