And because people have been asking about our current situation: My health is deteriorating dramatically. Long covid has left me with heart, lung, and (from clots) eye damage, among other things, and exacerbated my existing disabilities (like the nerve damage from my spine injuries, the brain fog from my traumatic brain injury and ADHD, etc.), so we're crowdfunding to try to move back to the US (something I swore I'd never do) so I can use my VA and Medicare benefits, because we figure that's the only way I'll live long enough to watch our daughter grow up.
Hi Rob. Your story was very touching. I donated via your GoFundMe campaign to show my support of your situation and appreciation for your modding work. Best wishes to you, Jo and the little one!
Hey, thanks! That means a lot. We're not out of the woods yet, but things are looking up. And I could have sworn I responded to this before, and I apologize that I apparently hadn't.
Edit: Don't follow my post, I made a mistake with it. The code I sent will update all NPC:s instead of just the followers. ------------------------------------------------------------ Hey there there, hope you're doing fine =)
Mod isn't working as-is with AE because SPID was updated (see changes on the posts of the mod page)
Supposedly it should rewrite the script by itself but it doesn't work completely for your mod.
Fix: Update SPID and its requirements Launch Skyrim and let SPID do its thing. Open your ini file and add a "-" before ActorTypeHomie after all the Perk lines ( -ActorTypeHomie)

has nothing to do with AE Update - month ago SPID changed the parsing of _DIST.ini - old files gets automatically converted to the new format - you get only problems if downgrade to previous SPiD version which cant handle the new format - for this you need to use the SPIDformater to downgrade
It's all good, thanks. Updated it with your changes, but someone else corrected me pretty quickly, so I updated again with the right code. Thanks for checking back! :-)
Instead of doing it name by name, would it be possible to just add it to every NPC in the PotentialFollowerFaction, CurrentFollowerFaction, PlayerFollowerFaction, and WIFollowerCommentFaction. This should cover every current and potential follower, mod-added or vanilla.
You are correct; that would have been a better way indeed, but I'm not that smart, lol. Okay, serious answer, between being a new father and on lots of pain meds, I got about far enough in the documentation to see that, "Oh, I can assign keywords by name--cool," and then just typed the thing up. I'll probably switch over to the method you suggested soon.
I originally made it just for me, so I just added all the followers from the game, plus Inigo, plus Sylgja and Hroki (since I generally recruit them, too, thanks to Netherworks and their excellent Nether's Follower Framework), with instructions to just add more names/perks as needed. The only reason I uploaded this at all was that no one else had uploaded a SPID solution for follower stealth perks yet; now I've seen two other mods doing basically the same thing, but probably in a more elegant way than I did, so I will DL theirs and take notes from them. I believe JuhiZ has made a version that assigns Light Foot en masse to PotentialFollowerFaction, though, and I'm going to look at how they did it.
Oh yeah, no problem, I mod the same way. I make something I hadn't seen done yet or the way I want to, cobble it together, and then release it on the off-chance someone else finds it useful.
I was just browsing through sneak-related stuff, saw this mod and was interested. I knew about the factions due to my own work on my previous mods, so I thought I should share the things i've learned.
Turns out there's an advantage to doing it by name after all; during quests with forced temporary companions, they still get the benefit of the perks. Unless there's a special faction they're added to as temporary companions.
Yeah, temporary companion NPCs are all over the place, and even some permanent ones. You can cover quite a few NPCs with generic factions, but you still have some (like Barbas and Serana) that have unique ones to them (DA03BarbasFaction, DLC1SeranaFaction).
I ended up making some changes in JuhiZ's Light Foot file to try and cover all that. It it might be useful for you?

Thanks! I'll have to take a look when I'm feeling better. Stuck with oxygen tubes up my nose courtesy of Miss 'Rona, so my attention span is... not what it could be lol. For one thing, I think I'm kinda borderline delerious haha. (Maybe I should turn down the oxygen a little?)
Looking at the bright side, though, if I HAD to get COVID while trapped in lockdown in a developing country on an expiring visa, at least it's in the mountains of a beautiful tropical island, eh? And if there are no COVID ward beds left in the hospitals, that just means I get treated at home where I can at least HEAR my (so far perfectly healthy) baby daughter in the next room while I'm being treated at home, and have my gf to take care of me and hold my daughter up in the doorway for me to see, and a computer that can run Skyrim, Mass Effect, and the Fallout games, and a semi-reliable internet connection. And my O2 levels are getting steadily better, and my fever has been GONE for a few days already, so hopefully I'll back to writing and modding soon.
And boy, that rambled lol. I DID mention I might be borderline delirious, right?
ALSO: How do you edit the "about" part of your profile page?
Thanks. I almost didn't even upload it because it's so simple that anyone could have done it, but hey--at least maybe I saved someone else from a bunch of typing. ¯\_ (?)_/¯
Theoretically. It adds the perks by ID number, so if Oridinator changes those perks instead of adding new ones, it is the Oridinator perks that will be added. You can also open the file with a text editor like Notepad and change the perks.
