SKSE framework which allows sounds to be distributed at runtime, greatly simplifying audio mods and patches.
Audio mods typically edit many forms which are shared between different types of mods, which was a compatibility nightmare... until now!
Effectively, sound records now get their own load order separate from other mods.
THIS MOD DOES NOT DO ANYTHING ON ITS OWN.
HOW TO USE
The game loads all of its forms as normal. Then, this mod parses all config files tied to loaded plugins, and patches loaded records. Afterwards, any config files not tied to a plugin are parsed in alphabetical order. Names are loaded in alphabetical order. Both JSON and JSONC are identical, but the latter supports syntax highlighting with comments. YAML is recommended for the most compact configs.
For config files tied to plugins, they must be named as e.g.
For config files not tied to a plugin, they must be named as
e.g.
For each compatible form, a Form must be specified. This is either formatted as or
The phrase NULL is reserved and should not be used in any entries.
You can optionally add Requirements to a config file. Specifying a ! at the end of a plugin name will mean that the config will only be used if that mod is not present.
In this example, a patch for Mysticism would be parsed only if Mysticism was present, only if Immersive Sounds was not present, and parsed according to the load order of "Audio Overhaul" only if it was loaded.
Outside of Region and Sound Descriptors all forms require powerofthree's Tweaks to use EditorIDs.
Regions are unique compared to other compatible forms. If referencing a sound which already exists in a Region, it will replace that sound record. Otherwise, it will always add a new sound. You can effectively disable a sound by giving it a Chance of 0.00. You can reference the sounds added by previous config files. Currently, an RDSA entry must already exist in the Region already.
Chance defaults to 0.05, and Flags default to all enabled.
Outside of regions, the full list of replaceable sounds are as follows:
MERGE MAPPER
This mod supports MergeMapper, however you must not merge plugins tied to configs. So do not merge Audio Overhaul, for example, as it will otherwise not load the configs properly.
