SM Player Essential
Created By the Strategy Master
----------------------------

This mod allows your player to become essential like all the other unkillable NPC's.

Prerequisites
------------------------------------------
SKSE - http://skse.silverlock.org must be installed

Default Mode
-------------------------------------------
When you lose all health you will kneel on the ground then stand back up with a small amount of remaining health.
Each time you become unconscious you will sustain an injury. An injury includes a number of penalties to health, magicka, fatigue, regen rates etc.
Injuries will recover naturally after 5 minutes.

If you are killed too soon after recovering you will die and become a ghost leaving your body and equipment on the ground.

As a ghost you become invulnerable, invisible, walk silently, cannot attack, and cannot interact with the environment.
After 30 seconds you can attack or interact with items to phase back into the world or wait 3 minutes.

Note: If you die before collecting your items back from your old body your loot will be available at your new corpse.

Customization
-------------------------------------------
If you have MCM/skyui installed you can use the configuration menu provided (press escape) otherwise a lesser power "Manipulate Death" will exist that allows you to change how the mod behaves or disable entirely when casted.

Essential Only Mode:
Disables the Ghost feature, i.e you will forever be knocked to the ground and accumlate injuries

Ghost Only Mode:
Disables being knocked to the ground and accumilating injuries. When you die you will become a ghost always.

Ghost Difficulty:
Easy - You retain your items when you die as a ghost
Normal - You lose your items but can be recovered from your corpse
Hardcore - Your items are permanently lost

Other Config:
Coin Loss: Enable to lose 10% of your coin every time you die (MCM you can configure the % amount)
Enable/Disable Injuries: You can enable and disable injuries being applyed on each essential death.
Knock Out Mode:
First Person: You do not drop to your knees. If you have issues with essential death breaking player animations or player transformations (vampire, warewolf etc) use this mode.
Third Person: You will see player drops to there knees on an essential death. This is the best experience but not entirely bug proof.
KnockOut Recovery: (MCM Setting only) The % amount of health you heal after an essential death.

Uninstall Process
-------------------------------------------
Disable/Uninstall: You must use this option if you want to uninstall the mod.
Before disabling ensure nothing is happening around you, no spell effects are currently affecting you. Failure to do so may cause the uninstall process to fail or break your player animations.
The process will take 10 seconds and you may fall to your knees during this time. Once a message appears saying mod has been disabled you may disable the mod.
If you need to reenable you must save the game without the mod enabled then re-enable the mod

Notes
------------------------------
-There are no quest markers to your old killed body by design.
-I decided not to put in a telport to other plane to recover your body as that has the potential to break quests.
-If you lose player sounds after disabling the mod, saving and reloading your game will restore the sounds.

Future Improvements
------------------------------
Guards can send player directly to jail if he is knocked to the ground
Players Dead body should be equipped with what he had when he died
Make injuries permanent until healed with injury kits or a bed
Stop guards able to harass you about crimes when in ghost mode.
Hard mode so you only lose your equipped weapons permanently.

Version History
------------------------------
v3.1
- Fixed deaths caused by physics breaking the player camera (i.e giant thump into air)

v3.0
- Now requires SKSE http://skse.silverlock.org (skyrim script extender)

- New dawnguard esp to support the vampire transformation without breaking.
- MCM support now included.
- NOTE - If upgrading and you originally had coin loss option enabled you need to set it off then back on as otherwise it defaults to losing only 1% of gold.
- Fix issue where you could die immediatly if you get the health injury effect.

v2.0b

- Further fix for edge cases that could also break the player camera on recovery.
- Made it a little easier to lose enemies in ghost mode
