PLEASE NOTE BEFORE POSTING I lack the ability to properly nuance my speech. Due to this I tend to come across as blunt or rude when it's far from intended. Please try to have some patience when dealing with me. I also have a bad habit of referring to Diverse Dragons Collection as Dragons Diversified, please pardon that, I'm actually talking about DDC.

As of May 6th, 2017 Deadly Dragons is COMPATIBLE Diverse Dragons Collection 2 & 3 are COMPATIBLE Splendor is COMPATIBLE Dragon Combat Overhaul is COMPATIBLE
I'm actually currently using Deadly Dragons, Diverse Dragons Collection 3, Splendor and DCO alongside this flawlessly.
No, I cannot give an ETA on a Skyrim Special Edition version, because my graphics card caps at DX10 so literally flat out can't run SSE. If I can't test it, I'm not releasing it. A new card is in my budget and I should hopefully be able to order it by November.
great idea! was checking some of my stuff w/ tesedit, and noticed in your mod, there are 2 Packages references...but no changes at all. totally like vanilla. tesedit removes them if cleaned. should there be AI package changes? and i wonder how this'd work w/ Deadly dragons, and Dragons Diversified Collection
To clarify, it wasn't the AI script packages I changed. I posted the mod at around 3AM my time and have been up for several days receiving IV medication every twelve hours so my wording was just poor, heh. I'll be fixing the description in a little bit here.
All of the dragon species in the game reference a handful of bases for their behaviour. I simply changed the combat behaviour dropdowns in those bases to a higher aggression level and removed the 'helps allies' flag, so they're now hostile to their own species. The actual AI *scripts* are untouched because I'm not messing with Bethsofts AI coding yet.
I'd honestly leave the file as is but I dunno, try it after cleaning and see if it still works, I don't use TesEdit so I couldn't tell you if it's removing stuff that it shouldn't.
I use both those mods but haven't tested enough yet. Assuming they reference the same bases, they should use the new combat behaviour. If they have their own bases, they'll be unaffected.
edit: gonna be longer before i can edit the desc, the vein in my left hand blew and i'm in so much pain, apologizing now for any further delays with anything
thanks for this. i like it. but sometimes i'll get dragon spawns now where they fight each other more than me. it'd actually be cool if this did not work w/ DD or DDC maybe. because i have assaults spawn sometimes w/ vanilla, dd, and ddc dragons, and if some of those could be excluded, you'd only have them fight each other sometimes. less anyway. can u make versions that exclude certain dragon mods?
In order to make versions that exclude certain dragon mods, I'd actually have to dupe the bases that the vanilla dragons use and reassign ALL vanilla dragons to the dupes. Buuuuut as I have no real life I can definitely do that when I have time to kill Just means doing the same thing for different mods as well, which will be far mroe time consuming than the vanilla set, but considering I sit here sorting files for hours on end because OCD is a WONDERFUL thing.... I think I can manage lmao
(Not a joke, I do have moderate OCD that manifests mostly in symmetry and sorting)
Update? There's been no update. The file's been static since upload as I've yet to find any issues that need patching.
I use Deadly Dragons, Dragons Diversified 3, and Splendor as well as Dragon Combat overhaul with this. I've also used it with Dragons Diversified 2 before 3 was backported. There's no incompatabilities as it simply changes the bases that the dragon races all reference for their behaviour. Anything that references those bases will be affected, adopting the new behaviour. nything using unique bases won't be affected. Anything that changes the bases will conflict, however as I have DD3, Deadly Dragons, and Splendor loaded after this so they take priority, there's definitely no conflict as everything is working as intended. If there was a conflict with any of these, then my plugin would stop functioning since it's earlier in the list.
Also, apologies for the late reply, I don't get notifications when people comment on my stuff and have been really busy as of late so wasn't able to check in.
