Thanks for the heads up! I'll hopefully have an update out by this weekend. For now, I've updated the description of the currently-uploaded file to indicate that it only works with Katana Crafting - SE version 3.7 and lower.
I double-checked the FormIDs of the latest uploaded version (3.9 as of this comment) against the SPID distribution list and there's no conflicts! My mod should work with all future versions of lautasantenni's mod indefinitely.
Version 3.9 appears to add Orichalcum weaponry and I'm not sure yet how best to incorporate them into the distribution--maybe very high level Orcs should get them? I may leave those weapons off of the distribution.
Hey there! Thanks for this really comprehensive work, and thanks even more for doing it with care and an eye for distribution specifics! I'm currently using a version of the Katana Crafting plugin that I've removed all 1H katanas from (just to remove redundancies with Animated Armoury), and I figure you know better than I do regarding SPID: would leaving this distribution file's references to 1H katanas intact be benign, or would it be better for me to remove all the lines containing them to avoid NPC inventory issues?
Good question! There shouldn't be any issue there, typically you can open "po3_SpellPerkItemDistributor.log" in "... Documents\My Games\Skyrim Special Edition\SKSE" and see text like the below which indicates successful distribution of the Steel Katana, Tanto, Wazikashi and DaiKatana:
[00:24:42:711] SteelKatana [0xD70~KatanaCrafting.esp] added to 17/7042 NPCs [00:24:42:711] SteelTanto [0xD71~KatanaCrafting.esp] added to 14/7042 NPCs [00:24:42:711] SteelWakizashi [0xD72~KatanaCrafting.esp] added to 17/7042 NPCs [00:24:42:711] SteelDaiKatana [0xD73~KatanaCrafting.esp] added to 14/7042 NPCs If my distribution file references a record that doesn't exist (like the Steel Katana in your version of the mod) or if I made a typo in the FormID, the item just wouldn't get distributed. I'd say the most important thing is to ensure the Katana Crafting plugin you're using is still named "KatanaCrafting.esp" and double-check the log the next time you load your save.
If you see any issues, like the non-1H Katanas not being distributed, let me know and I'll see what I can do!
This should work instantly on an existing save. To confirm this, once you've added this mod to your load order, open your save game, then check "po3_SpellPerkItemDistributor.log" in "... Documents\My Games\Skyrim Special Edition\SKSE". You should see text like the following towards the bottom to indicate that the distribution was a success:
[00:24:42:711] SteelKatana [0xD70~KatanaCrafting.esp] added to 17/7042 NPCs [00:24:42:711] SteelTanto [0xD71~KatanaCrafting.esp] added to 14/7042 NPCs [00:24:42:711] SteelWakizashi [0xD72~KatanaCrafting.esp] added to 17/7042 NPCs [00:24:42:711] SteelDaiKatana [0xD73~KatanaCrafting.esp] added to 14/7042 NPCs
Great work! Might i suggest adding Spell Perk Item Distributor (SPID) to your Requirements list? Your description and Title makes this seem like it doesn't require SPID and may confuse some folks.

- Version 3.8.1, Fixed bad record overrides caused by using an outdated version of SSEEdit
not sure if this needs updating too :)Version 3.9 appears to add Orichalcum weaponry and I'm not sure yet how best to incorporate them into the distribution--maybe very high level Orcs should get them? I may leave those weapons off of the distribution.
