I changed the balanced version to a concentration cast so it shoots a constant beam, duplicated the weapons in xedit and removed the bound weapon flags and added them as physical items so I could hotkey them and give them to followers.
So I modified it to have different names through SSEEdit, although I did also make my own changes. They're small, not affecting the guns themselves. If you're interested, let me know.
If you are struggling with the console commands try using the add item menu mod to get the tomes im looking into how to fix it so the mod appears in vendors
the command didn't do anything because of the load order. load orders determine the first few numbers that show up, from my knowledge. so you'd have to type "Help Golden 4" to find the golden gun spell/tome, and then type in the item number that comes when it shows up in the console. so his "player.additem 1D00D74B 1" wouldn't work since your load order would change it to xx00D74B, i believe. the first 2 being determined by the load order. basically, type the help command i put in quotes, and see if it comes up. might have to hit the page up button to find it, if there's a ton of items with golden in the name.
The load order specifically determines a hexadecimal (base 16) number for the first two items in the eight-bit ID. In the author's case, 1D means that it is the 29th loaded plugin.
To use the example of the player object, the player's base ID is 00000007, and the player's ref ID is 00000014. If the player object were instead somehow loaded by the Dawnguard DLC (which is loaded second, after skyrim.esm), then the base ID would instead be 0100007 and the ref ID would instead be 01000014.
In short, the author's 1D00D74B is more accurately xx00D74B, where xx is the position that GoldenGun.esp takes.
