===[ Description ]==========================================================

This mod will add three rings to your character:
One for invisibility, one for night eye, and one for detect life.

The idea is to set the rings as hot-key items, and then you can
use the hot-key to toggle that effect on and off.


Night eye is pretty straight forward. While worn, you get night eye.

Invisibility is also fairly straight forward, with the exception that while
wearing the ring, you can also interact with objects and not cancel the
effects, as with potions and spells.
You do not become visibile again until you remove the ring.

Detect Life works like the spell, except does not dispel until you
remove the ring. It also works on the undead, dwemer machines,
and generally any invisible NPC.

I'd like to give a shout out to Ayeque on the Nexus.

Without his help, the Detect Life ring would not have been possible!

===[ Installing ]==========================================================

The preferred method is to install using the Nexus Mod Manager.
Just click the 'Download with mod manager' button on the Nexus site,
wait for the download to finish, select the mod in the listing, and finally
click the 'Activate' button.

To install manually:
Copy "TriRings of Powers v1.0.esp" into your Data folder.
Copy "Scripts\TriRingScriptDetectLife.pex" into your Data\Scripts folder.
You will likely want to copy this file "TriRing-Readme-v1.0.txt" into
your data folder for safe keeping.
Activate the mod in your Skyrim Launcher under the Data Files option.

---[ Uninstalling ]----------------------------------------------------------

In Nexus Mod Manager, simply select the mod in the list, click the
"Deactivate" button, and then click the "Delete" button.

Removing manually:
In your Skyrim Data folder, delete:
TriRings of Powers v1.0.esp
and
Scripts\TriRingScriptDetectLife.pex

---[ Upgrading ]----------------------------------------------------------

Simply perform the 'Uninstalling' steps, then the 'Installing' steps.
In the Nexus Mod Manager, simply download the new version of the mod,
select it, and click the 'Activate' button. Answer 'YES' that you want to
upgrade normally.
Run Skyrim and try out the new version.
If you like it, you can select the old version in the mod manager and click
the 'Delete' button.
If you need to revert to the old version for any reason, select it in the
mod manager, click 'Activate', and answer 'YES' to upgrade.

Remember, the Nexus Mod Manager will show a checkmark next to the single
active version of the mod. You can delete any unchecked mods in the list.



===[ Details ]==========================================================

Each ring has a silver band, and a different color stone for each effect.
Amethyst (Purple) is the TriRing of Night Eye
Garnet (Yellow) is the TriRing of Invisibility
Ruby (Red ) is the TriRing of Detect Night

All rings have a weight of zero and a base value of 1000 gold.

Upon first loading the mod, the rings will be placed in your
inventory under Armor. Select them and hit 'F' to favorite them,
exit inventory, and hit 'Q' for the quick menu.
Select them again, this time assigning a hot key from 1-8.
Now you can quickly toggle each effect on and off by pressing the hot key.

I used the default artwork and sounds for the standard Skyrim rings.
As this is an obvious nod to the TriForce in the Zelda game series,
it would be pretty awesome to use rings with triangle shaped cut
stones of a yellow mineral, if I can find someone to make the textures.

If you would like to add additional rings for any reason, the ItemIDs are:
xx000d62 TriRing of Night Eye
xx000d63 TriRing of Invisibility
xx000d64 TriRing of Detect Life
Where 'xx' is this mods load order.


This has been a "hello world" mod for me ever since Oblivion and
the Construction Set. It was my own intro to modding, and my first
god item (They are generally the easiest ;)
I created a similar mod from scratch in Fallout 3 and the GECK,
but with different effects, and the items were gun mods.
Finally it has come to Skyrim and the Creation Kit.
Things sure have changed in the last six or so years!


I have included the "Constant Detect Life" script source code, provided
by Ayeque on the Skyrim Nexus.
Only the ItemIDs were changed to match my naming scheme.

If you wish to look at the mod in the Construction Kit, all of my
ObjectIDs start with the text "TriRing". Simply enter that into the
filter box, and select the "*All" group from the bottom of the listing.

Full listing of ObjectIDs:
ARMO xx000D64 TriRingDetectLife
ARMO xx000D63 TriRingInvisibility
ARMO xx000D62 TriRingNightEye
ENCH xx001D92 TriRingEnchDetectLife
ENCH xx000D68 TriRingEnchInvisibility
ENCH xx000D67 TriRingEnchNightEye
MGEF xx001D90 TriRingEffectDetectLife
MGEF xx000D66 TriRingEffectInvisibillity
