iEquip is an antidote to the endless menu grind which pervades Skyrim, allowing you to switch weapons, spells, shouts, powers and other equipment on the fly, without menus to pause and interrupt gameplay.  You can cycle and select ammo for an equipped ranged weapon, cycle through and consume potions, food and drink, apply poisons to equipped weapons, recharge your weapon enchantments and much more besides.

In addition, iEquip comes with an arsenal of 'Quick' functions allowing you to quickly equip a ranged weapon, shield or ward if the situation calls for it, to quickly dual equip a spell, or to automatically select and consume regenerative or stat boosting potions as required.

 And you can do all of this with just four main gameplay hotkeys, so you don't have to rely on a keyboard map or memorising numerous hotkeys, which means gamepad players can also leverage the full suite of features iEquip offers.


New to iEquip?  We highly recommend watching Gopher's video for a full Beginner's Guide to all of the core features.

A suite of fully configurable 'heat of battle' features designed to give you quick access to exactly what you need, when you need it most.


QUICKSHIELD
   Triple tap left key to automatically equip the first shield (or ward spell) found in the left hand queue.  If nothing is found in the queue then iEquip will scan your wider inventory for something suitable.
   Option to always 'Prefer Magic' in which case look for ward first, then shield
   Otherwise check current right hand item and match shield for weapon, or ward for spell
   If 2H weapon equipped then equip a shield and 1H weapon, or ward and spell from preferred school

QUICKRANGED
   Triple tap right key to automatically equip first of preferred ranged weapon type or ranged bound weapon spell found in right hand queue.  If nothing is found in the queue then iEquip will scan your wider inventory for something suitable.
   Various options for what to switch back to on second right key triple tap

QUICKRESTORE & QUICKBUFF
   Triple tap consumable key to automatically consume restore and/or buff potions for enabled stats as required
   Fully configurable activation thresholds and intelligent 'Smart Select' with active effect and combat state checking
   Allows intelligent smart selection and consumption of up to nine potions with a single activation
   Option to 'Prefer Magic' for Healing, in which case a healing spell will be equipped (with option to dual cast) rather than consuming a healing potion. If magic preferred but no spell found then a potion will be consumed, if potion preferred but none found then optionally a healing spell will be equipped if found.  If spells are equipped then triple tapping again will switch back to the previous items, with an option to automatically consume a restore magicka potion.

QUICKDUALCAST
   When equipping 'either hand' spells from the chosen schools always equip them in both hands ready for dual casting
   Option to only allow QuickDualCast if the spell has been added to both queues
   Differs from the regular double tap to dual cast feature in that spells will always be dual equipped based on the QuickDualCast settings without the need for an additional action

PRESELECT MODE
   Triple tap shout/power key to activate Preselect Mode
   Three additional slots will be displayed alongside left, right and shout/power slots
   Tapping to cycle will no cycle the preselect slots, leaving the current items equipped, allowing you to queue up next item or group of items

   Hold left or right key to equip both hands at the same time, or hold shout to equip all three preselected items at once (dynamic equip sets)
   Option when equipping the preselected item to either swap with current item, or equip and cycle the preselect slot on one position

Of the description of course...

If you've gotten this far, it probably means that you've read just about everything else. Well, perhaps not EVERYTHING, but most of it... right? It would be a shame if all those words went to waste. A lot of time was spent writing them you see. Far more than we'd like to admit.

Anyway, this section isn't about the description (that would be quite the boring section), it's about a grand adventure: The development of iEquip.

And what an adventure it has been! There's been perils around every corner, most of them seemingly insurmountable, yet here we are. Still alive. The ugly actionscript dragon lies defeated, the papyrus overlord sealed away, and the .dll plugin princess has been saved. Finally iEquip is released. Finally.

And so, the rest of the team wants to extend a special thanks to the man who made all of this possible: Dunc001. Thanks for being awesome, thanks for sticking with the project and thanks for your contribution to the Skyrim modding community. All of it is sorely appreciated, and it's been quite an experience to be a part of it. Hopefully there's more to come :)!

- Love all of the iEquip contributors
