Weapon Throwing

• Weapon throwing mechanic for Skyrim.
• Makes all weapons throwable.
• Thrown weapon projectiles are lootable for any actor.
• The weapons are removing from thrower's inventory when thrown and added to the looter of the thrown weapon when looted.
• Compatible with 1.5.97 - 1.6.x - 1.7.x game versions.

CommonLibSSE NG

Because this uses CommonLibSSE NG, it supports Skyrim SE, AE, GOG, and VR.

Hook IDs and offsets must still be found manually for each version.

• Set the CommonLibSSEPath environment variable to the path of your CommonlibSSE-NG folder.

Requirements

• Visual Studio 2022 (the free Community edition)
• vcpkg
  • 1. Clone the repository using git OR download it as a .zip
  • 2. Go into the vcpkg folder and double-click on bootstrap-vcpkg.bat
  • 3. Edit your system or user Environment Variables and add a new one:
    • Name: VCPKG_ROOT
      Value: C:\path\to\wherever\your\vcpkg\folder\is
  • The latest version of vcpkg needs a default repository defined in the json. If you're using an older version of vcpkg, simply delete the default repository definition in vcpkg-configuration.json

Opening the project

Once you have Visual Studio 2022 installed, you can open this folder in basically any C++ editor, e.g. VS Code or CLion or Visual Studio

• for VS Code, if you are not automatically prompted to install the C++ and CMake Tools extensions, please install those and then close VS Code and then open this project as a folder in VS Code

Project setup

By default, when this project compiles it will output a .dll for your SKSE plugin into the build/ folder.

If you want to configure this project to output your plugin files into your Skyrim Special Edition's "Data" folder:

• Set the SKYRIM_FOLDER environment variable to the path of your Skyrim installation
  e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition

If you want to configure this project to output your plugin files into your "mods" folder:
(for Mod Organizer 2 or Vortex)

• Set the SKYRIM_MODS_FOLDER environment variable to the path of your mods folder:
  e.g. C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\ModOrganizer\Skyrim Special Edition\mods
  e.g. C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Vortex\skyrimse\mods

Debugging

In order to attach a debugger, you must own a legal copy of Skyrim with the exe stripped using Steamless. Note that users with MO2 should have -forcesteamloader as an SKSE argument for plugins to load normally with a stub-removed exe.

For VSCode users, they must have a launch.json file like the one below:

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "C++ Debugger",
            "type": "cppvsdbg",
            "request": "attach"
        },
        {
            "type": "cmake",
            "request": "launch",
            "name": "Debug portfile(s)",
            "cmakeDebugType": "external",
            "pipeName": "\\\\.\\pipe\\vcpkg_ext_portfile_dbg",
            "preLaunchTask": "Debug vcpkg commands"
        }
    ]
}
