- Permissions and credits
- Donations
This is Alchemy Calculator (ReAlchemy) desktop application for Enderal (Steam Standalone version) and TES V: Skyrim SE (With All DLC's + Unofficial Skyrim SE Patch).
It works with either game.
I've made this mostly for myself, but if it's useful to me, someone else might find it useful too.
I know, there are gazillions of Alchemy calculation sites and mobile apps.
But this one comes with companion mod, which adds "Scribe Ingredients" spell to player spell book.
What it does - it writes player alchemy levels, perks and list of ingredients player is carrying to Papyrus log files. Later calculator can read exported data. This saves a lot of time trying to do that by hand.
For Enderal companion mod - there are no requirements, just extract files to %SteamFolder%\steamapps\common\Enderal\Data folder, and enable it in Enderal launcher.
Companion spell for Skyrim SE requires you to have all DLC's and in this load order:
Important: For companion spell to work you need to enable papyrus debug logging, in your
or
Edit or add these settings:
Latest ReAlchemy version checks if these settings are set upon run, and asks if you want to fix that. If you are not affraid this app messing with your config files - allow this.
After you used the spell - press on "Load Scribed" button in Desktop App, it should load all data. Spell takes some time to work (2 - 10 sec), especially if there are a lot of other mods - wait for "Wrote down {num} ingredients." message.
Installation:
You can use Installer version, or Portable version.
Installer should take care of .NET dependancies, but usually requires Administrative rights.
Default folder is "Program Files (x86)\ReAlchemy".
After you install a program, you should find ReAlchemy icon on your desktop. To uninstall - use usual windows tools.
Installer should overwrite old version, but it's not bad idea to uninstall old version before installing a new one.
For portable version - you can extract anywhere (using separate folder is advised) and run it from there.
When you run portable version, you can use File->Create Desktop Shortcut menu item.
Trouble Shooting:
If desktop app is not loading ingredients, check if AlchemyLog.0.log exists in folder "%My Documents%\My Games\Skyrim\Logs\Script\User" (or "%My Documents%\My Games\Skyrim Special Edition\Logs\Script\User" for Vanilla - Skyrim SE).
You can try to create this folder and use the spell again, some users reported this worked for them.
If above files are not generated double check you have correct settings in [Papyrus] section of your Enderal.ini.
Application checks if log folder is there, if not - you might be prompted create one, or to navigate to your log location.
If you want to change log location later, use top menu File->Set Load Scribed Location.
If you think yo've somehow screwed up your database, you can reset it to original (which came with installation) by:
1. Make Sure application is not running
2. Delete %User Folder%\AppData\Local\ReAlchemy\db\*.db files
3. Run application again, it should copy vanilla database from its folder to usual location.
Application settings are stored in %User Folder%\AppData\Local\ReAlchemy\ folder.
Tips:
To populate list with recipes use big fat "Find Recipes/Update" button on the left-hand side. After updating ingredients or player levels you have to press this button again for changes to be taken into account. If button font is Bold, then you have pending changes and need to recalculate list.
You can sort the list by clicking on column header, for example by value - to find out most profitable.
You can remove sorting by Right Click -> Do Not Sort (Or Right Click on Column Header -> Unsort), useful when you do not want items to move around while clicking on [-1], [-?] buttons.
There are filters you can use (Show filters button at the top).
Communication:
This program is not bug free, and I cannot forsee everything. If something is not working as expected, please complain about it in post section here (or fill a bug report), so I know what needs fixing. Any ideas, wishes, criticisms should go there also.
Please communicate, not just shrug your shoulders and move on :).
Also - there might be extended periods when I do not do fixes, or respond to posts - this means I got some things going on in the real, or forgot the project for a while, please be patient (sometimes very patient).
