Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch

Hi,

I was messing around with my own mod again and decided to check out if Vision of the Tenth Eye was fixed by my previous fix (Issue #29046). Turns out it doesn't. The problem lies in both the magic effect (MGRitual02Effect: 000B323F) and the script it uses (MGRitual02EffectScript).



The fix for the magic effect is simple:

1. Go to MGRitual02Effect.

2. Go to the Papyrus Scripts section and click on properties.

3. Change the 'fDelay' property to '0.96'.


Notes on magic effect fix:

This will match the delay of (NightEyeEffect: 0006B10C).




The fix for the script was a little more complicated:

1. Open up MGRitual02EffectScript.psc.

2. [Original Line: 34] Remove the line 'fDelay = 0.83'

3, [Original Line: 37] Remove the line 'fDelay=0'

3. [Original Line: 38] Replace 'introFX.remove() ; remove initial FX' with 'introFX.PopTo(MainFX)'

4. [Original Line: 64, 65 and 66] Replace introFX.remove() and mainFX.remove() and OutroFX.apply() with mainFX.PopTo(OutroFX)

6. Compile and your done.


Notes on script fix:

Step 2: Makes it impossible to properly fix this issue so I got rid of that.

Step 3: I don't see any reason for the 'fDelay=0' line to exist so I removed it. I believe it is redundant as it doesn't do anything (perhaps they were trying to delay how quickly the books appeared and wanted to have them phase in slowly?). Tested it with/without (completed the quest) and found no difference.

Step 4: Allows for a much more efficient effect transition (I discovered it while looking at the Night Eye Script (magicNightEyeScript)).


Important Note:

This entire fix requires my fix for Issue #29046 in order to work, otherwise it will do nothing. I have tested this fix at various framerates (20-144 fps) and have completed the Illusion Ritual Spell quest with no issues.



I have attached the script; pex file and my .esp fix for issue #29046 in an archive for your convenience. Also included in that archive, is another archive for easy mod manager installation and testing.

Keep up the great work .
