[Papyrus] Get ESP name of an equipped item via script?

[Nymra]

I am curious if there is a way to obtain the ESP name of an item (like for example weapon or piece of armor) via script?

 

I wanted to create a "Load Order Proof" way of transfering items between profiles and if I could get the ESP name this should be possible?!

All mods I found "forget" items if the load order changes and the owning ESP has another prefix.

 

thx alot

Bool weapon Getformfromfile(id, string) 

Returns true if there

Id 0x00000nnn, string xxxx.esp

but when I do not know the ESP name?

Say I have weapon X from mod abc.esp

 

I want to save that weapons ID and ESP file name to a json to then be able to recover it via Getformfromfile

[Tlam99]

Create formlist with strings

Getweapon eqipped id

Read all mods in and check each entry until true

A better way might be to use xEDIT Pascal script. That allows you to check through all weapon forms from all mods you select. And then you can just save the ID to the file. Problem would be that saved file will most likely be just  text, not JSON.

I think this will work since the first 2 hexadecimal digits in the Form ID are the mod index.

0x1B0012B7

 

Int iFormId      = myWhatever.GetFormID()
Int iModIndex    = Math.RightShift(iFormId, 24) ; e.g. 0x1B0012B7 becomes 0x1B or the decimal value of 27
String sFileName = Game.GetModName(iModIndex) ;Gets Name of Mod eg. Skyrim.esm, Update.esm, Hearthfire.esm, etc.

The following bitwise logical AND will mask off the index of a form id. Not really necessary with GetFormFromFile since the function does it internally.

 

Int iItemMask    = Math.LogicalAnd(iFormId, 0x00FFFFFF)

 

So 0x1B0012B7 becomes 0x000012B7 and you can save "String sFileName" and "Int iItemMask" to the JSON file.

aaaah, thx alot, this explains it for me.

damnit, I searched the CK wiki and did not stumble over the GetModname o_O

This will just save base IDs though. You'll have to take additional steps for player enchanted items if you're planning a "Save My Stuff" mod for Skyrim. This is a problem I ran into in Fallout 4 with player modded armor and weapons.

The CK wiki search sucks. It's exact match and that's it. Not a substring match. I usually go to the scripting reference pages and use CTRL+F and try to find a function that way.

at least for me the enchantments are not an issue right now. base IDs are totally sufficient.

 

I plan a "feature" that allows the player to summon a "mystic trader" that reequips a previously saved equipment sex in exchange for sex and money (and a random chance of some... scamming :D) 

basically I want to built a kinky based economy in skyrim that offers an alternative to classic looting/crafting mechanics.

I personally also dont like looted armor. I spend alot of time to design my outfits and always want them back

That and the one-size-fits-all-unisex outfits in Skyrim and Fallout 4.

yeah, that too
I fiddled around with almost any loot mod out there by now I think but they are either overintrusive or useless in a way. For my purpose ofc, kinky skyrim is some very special place, haha.

 

But actually there was a mod somewhere that randomized the sizes of looted armor so you had to find suitable ones or suffer drawbacks or could not fit it at all. 

I dont remember the name tho.

If you find it again. let me know
