For Players:
A mod developer will direct you to this plugin if their mod can take advantage of it. All you need to do is meet the two requirements, download the plugin, install, and you're ready to go!
For Developers:
When a player has this plugin installed, you can utilize SkyPal's various global scripts to handle large amounts of objects in a single function call. Instead of iterating too many objects in Papyrus and bogging down the game or even worse, dumping stacks, you can use SkyPal to natively execute batch operations for you. Currently, the most developed SkyPal script lets you interact with and handle ObjectReferences in a variety of ways. Checkout the FAQ and the examples sections for more information. You may also wish to check out the GitHub page for the source code.
Requirements:
- Skyrim SE 1.5.97.0
- SKSE 2.0.17+ (2.0.19 recommended)
Whenever Bethesda releases a new version of Skyrim, this mod will require an update, just as SKSE does. In that event, you will need to install the updated version when it comes out. For more information, see the FAQ section.
