Changelogs
Version 4.7.0
Fixed bug where Male NPCs would not be automatically given necklaces if in same cell as player on load
Added sanity check to prevent potential script errors if non-actor entity somehow attempted to eval necklace compatibility. Now stop harassing me karut
Changed mod compatibility loading to use native GetFormFromMod function instead of old UDF method
Added dupe checks to necklace formlists
Version 4.6.0
Revised mod to use new CallAfterFrame function from xNVSE 6.2.8 instead of game loop callbacks. This is more efficient, and fixes some potential small bugs
Added version checks for xNVSE, JIP LN NVSE, and JohnnyGuitarNVSE, as very new versions of these are now required
Version 4.5.0
Revised necklace distribution scripts to use new Johnny Guitar functions. All appropriate NPCs should now have necklaces. Johnny Guitar 4.80 or higher is now a requirement. Huge thanks to c6 for making these functions for me
Changed necklace distribution method to accurately reflect current mod settings. If the male/female toggles are changed, NPCs in the game will immediately reflect these changes on game load.
Added settings to give NPCs a percentage chance of not having a necklace to reduce loot with playable necklaces
NPCs will now recieve 1 necklace per inventory reset. There is no longer anyway for them to generate infinite necklaces (if the male or female toggles are switched off, and then back on again after a save game, all NPCs of that gender will have new necklaces readded)
