v1.0
Spoiler:  
Show

  • Converted A Chunk Of The Checks Into An Array So No Need To "ElseIf" As Much
  • Removed Check For RitualSpell Being Active From The Rune Spells And Added po3_RUNE_RitualSpell Keyword To All Master Spells And Ritual Spells
  • Added po3_RUNE_RitualSpellKeyword Check To PO3_RUNEDetectPlayerCasting Script
  • - Now One Handed Ritual Spells Will Use Master Runes
  • Replaced MagicInvisibility Keyword Spell Check For po3_RUNE_MagicInvisibility And Added It To All Magic Effects With MagicInvisibility Keyword
  • - Now Anyone Can Easily Add Exclusions To The _KID.ini
  • Added "EnableBumper" To The Animation Event Checks For Cancelling Spell Cast
  • - Now Ritual Spell And Master Spell Runes Will Disappear When You Stop Casting
  • Changed "if !CastOnEquip && PlayerRef.GetActorValuePercentage("Magicka") <= 0.01" To "if !CastOnEquip"
  • - Now Spell Runes Will Go Away When You Finish Casting If Not Set To Permanent.
  • Reworked when The Script Checks For Rune Type So Runes Are Ready To Add When Casting Begins.
  • Failed To Improve The Responsiveness Of Dual Casting
  • - If You Have Any Suggestions, Let Me Know.

v1.1
Spoiler:  
Show

  • Fixed Some Oversights Causing Issues With Permanent Runes Option In MCM
  • - I don't Use This Option Often, So Let Me Know If There Are Any More Issues The Base Mod Doesn't Have
  • Managed To Make Dual Runes Show Up A Little Faster, But They Still Don't Work When Casting Too Quickly
  • - When Casting Too Soon After Releasing A Dual Cast Spell, The Function Fails To Change The Position And Size Of The Left Rune
  • -- Not As Much An Issue When Using Fire And Forget Spells If You Cast Fast Enough
  • -- If This Happens, You'll End Up With A Rune On Your Left Hand(Which Is Supposed To Be Moved And Scaled To Be Used As The Dual Rune, But Isn't)
  • -- This Is Far More Noticeable With Drain Spells(And Possibly Other Spells From Mods)
  • -- Seems Like Waiting For The Rune To Disappear(And A Little After) Reduces The Chance Of This Happening
  • --- But You Need To Wait Even Longer After The Rune Disappears For Drain Spells(Or Maybe Just Vampire Drain Spells. That's All I Tested.)
  • -- Casting With Right Spell And Then Dual Casting(Not Too Quickly) Seems To Fix The Issue Too, But That May Just Be Cause It Causes You To Wait Long Enough.
  • Fixed Weapon Sheathe Event So It Happens When Dual Casting
  • Fixed A Bunch Of Stuff I Broke While Trying To Fix Dual Cast And Permanent Runes, But Most, If Not All, Those Issues Were Never Released

v1.2
Spoiler:  
Show

  • Added Compatibility For Desecration And Abyss
  • Changed It So The Function That Chooses The Runes Only Runs On Equip
  • - Runes Should Be More Responsive When Sheathing/UnSheathing Spells If They Were Already Equipped
  • Added A Return Back Into The Get Runes Function
  • - Function Will Cancel Early If No Spell/Scroll Equipped Like Original Strange Runes
  • - Apparently It Needed To Return True Instead Of False To Work Even Though It Was Never Used In A Check
  • Filled In Missing Ritual Rune Types With Other Similar Ritual Runes
  • - Should Fix Some Master Spells Having No Runes
  • I Changed Get Rune Type Function To Check Spell Instead Of Costliest Effect For Keyword
  • - This May Fix Missing Runes Or Cause The Wrong Rune On Some Spells
  • - If A Spell That Had Matching Runes Before Doesn't Anymore, Let Me Know And Revert To A Previous Version If Needed.
  • I Noticed An Issue With Concentration Spells' Ritual Runes Disappearing While Moving Then Stopping
  • - Doesn't Seem To Happen When Ritual Rune Is Affected By Dual Casting UpdateHitEffectArtNode() Changes(Gets Big And Moves)
  • - I'll Have To Figure This Issue Out In A Later Update
  • I Need To Add A Bunch Of Keywords And Rewrite GetRuneType() To Make Combatibility Patches Using KID Easier
  • - Might Take A Bit But Feel Free To Mention Mods You Want Me To Add In Future Compatibility Patches

v2.0
Spoiler:  
Show

  • Went Through And Tried To Match Rune Color As Closely As Possible To Spells For:
  • - All Darenii Spells 
  • - Most Kittytail Spells 
  • - Triumvirate - Mage Archetypes 
  • -- Force Of Nature Breaks The Runes Until You Next Load A Save. I Couldn't Figure Out Why.
  • -- Force Of Nature Breaks The Runes Until You Next Load A Save. I Couldn't Figure Out Why.
  • This Version Probably Still Needs Fine Tuning So Let Me Know What Doesn't Match And I'll Fix It If I Can

v2.1 & v2.2 & v2.3
Spoiler:  
Show

  • Fixed Permanent Runes Again
  • Forgot To Mention, Since v2.0 Concentration Master Spells In The Right Hand Use Normal Runes
  • - Right Handed Master Runes Kept Disappearing In The Middle Of Casting Concentration Spells
  • -- This Will Fix The Issue Until I Can Figure It Out
  • Further Fixed Permanent Runes Being On Not Working The Same As Being Off
  • Removed Dylbills Papyrus Functions Requirement 
  • - I Finally Found .ToArray() So I Don't Need .FormlistToArray() From Dylbills Papyrus Functions Anymore
  • - I knew I Hadn't Imagined It Existing, But I Didn't Find It Last Time Because It Wasn't On The Main Papyrus Page
  • Fixed Oversight In New GetRunType() Related To Scrolls Hopefully

v2.4
Spoiler:  
Show

  • "Fixed" Left Rune Getting Stuck When Dual Casting By Spamming UpdateHitEffectArtNode()
  • - It Will Still Get Stuck, But Now It Will Fix Itself.
  • -- How Quickly It Works Varies Rune To Rune, But Is Similar To How Long You Would Have Had To Wait Inbetween Casts Before This Fix.

  • - Adjustable In StrangeRunesCompatibility.json

  • Changed Script To Check 0 index Magic Effect For Keywords First(Used To Check Last Index Magic Effect First)
  • - I Did This For The Final Cataclysm, But It's Possible This Causes Some Other Spells To Get The Wrong Rune

  • Added Option To Disable One Handed Spell Master Runes
  • - Change "DisableOneHandedMasterRunes" To 1 In StrangeRunesCompatibility.json
  • Added SR_RS_Exclude To StrangeRunesCompatibility_KID.ini
  • - Add Any Magic Effects You Don't Want Using Master Runes
