{ ESMify Plugins 1.0 by Eddoursul https://eddoursul.win For proper overriding of temporary records, "Always save ONAM" must be enabled in xEdit. This script does not process bi-directional location references. Resave plugin in CK to rebuild them. Running it on a plugin will set the ESM flag as well. Running it on a node will only attempt to fix broken persistence. Normally, NPCs must have assigned Persistent Location. If they don't, their packages may break after conversion to ESM. Persistent Location can't be reliably set by a script, so instead we scan NPC attributes and packages, try to determine if they potentially need persistence, and set the global Persistent flag. This is a band-aid! To fix them properly, assign valid locations to actors via the Persistent Location field. } unit ESMify_Plugins; var refsChecked, recordsCounted, flaggedCount, persLocSkipped: integer; pluginShown: boolean; function IsReferencedByNonLocation(rec: IwbMainRecord): boolean; var masterRecord, referencingRecord: IwbMainRecord; i: integer; sig: string; begin Result := False; masterRecord := MasterOrSelf(rec); for i := 0 to Pred(ReferencedByCount(masterRecord)) do begin referencingRecord := ReferencedByIndex(masterRecord, i); sig := Signature(referencingRecord); // Locational links are bi-directional, this script does not process them.
