Overcoming Array size limit with JContainers

[fighter139]

I apologize if this is the wrong section, but searching around I haven't found a subtopic where people are discussing Papyrus/JContainers code.  I'm trying to use a script-based armor replacer similar to  Illustrious HDT Cloaks.  I've achieved it using the author's original code (with permission, attached), but the array limit of 128 is preventing me from fully implementing my project.  I'd like to use JContainers and have tinkered with JSON files a little bit, but I have no idea how to store the info properly in a JSON and call it in papyrus.  If anyone has experience with this sort of thing and can help out, that would be awesome!

While I'm not a mod author, just a user, I have rarely used mods which required the use of JSON. Because of this, when I have, it's stuck in my mind more because of having a few extra steps to implement.

 

I'm posting this to inform you of a mod which uses these, in the hopes that by examining it, you may be able to get some answers. Sort of looking at it to 'reverse-engineer' some ideas.

 

The mod in question is called 'Familiar Faces'. Basically the mod creates files of all your player characters, then makes them recruit able companions. It's really quite ambitious and quite a proof of concept. https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/54509/  Perhaps you can contact the author for more info.

 

While I don't have the skills to make a companion mod, the fact I can easily make an amazing customized character, then 'save' it to be used as such, is a nice touch.
