CrosshairRefEvents script hang fix

CrosshairRefEvents script hang fix

View File

---

SKSE64 plugin which fixes script hang in e.g. Naked Defeat and Deviously Cursed Loot:

 

Spoiler

When any mod disables the activate/use key via DisablePlayerControls(),

then the game sends an OnCrosshairRefChange Event to every Form which registered for said event.

 

This event keeps being sent for every frame, until the activate/use key is re-enabled.
Which in turn results in some script being seemingly stuck and refusing to execute (such as Naked Defeat or Cursed Loot)

 

This plugin fixes this by no longer sending the OnCrosshairRefChange Event just because the activate/use key has been disabled.

(Now said Event is only sent, when the Crosshair actually changes targets)

 

 

Requires Address Lib.

Tested with Special Edition v1.5.97 and Anniversary Edition v1.6.640

(but "should" be compatibly with anything inbetween aswell *fingers crossed* *no guarantees* *use at your own risk* )

I've been having an issue with Naked Defeat where the quest sequence won't progress and seem to hang unless I pause / open console and close it again, is this related to that?

[yeahhowaboutnooo]

@NismoMan that bug is exactly what this mod fixes

Amazing!

Thank you for your work ?

If this stops the bug I got earleir today where DCL triggered then spent about 3 minutes unequipping and requiping items before it gave back control you have my gratitude.

[Herowynne]

I'm using this mod with SE 1.5.97.

 

I just wanted to say that this mod is working very well for me. The hangs with DCL have been eliminated.

 

Thanks so much!

This works great.

[Lucci213]

FYI: this also fixes the script hang when opening packages from Devious Lore

Usually you need to open/close the console to fix it, but this mod makes it run smooth

Thanks working great on Naked Defeat

after installing this mod, the cursed loot events from DCL (and events from many other mods) don't start anymore... so I uninstalled it but the error continues (even when starting a new game)... could someone help me to fix it?

[yeahhowaboutnooo]

highly doubt it's my mod that's causing this issue then, considering you both uninstalled my mod and started a new game.
if i find the time i might look into it.

When you begin a new game and rescue Chloe from the Helgen prison, that starts her quest and prevents any DCL cursed loot events from occurring, until you have completed several of the DCL quests in sequence.

So i have this wierd black screen stuck when going into or out of the great lift at aftland or whatever it's called and this file did not change anything I have address library installed but still nothing it's as if i never installed it at all.

[Nymra]

is there anything I can do from Naked Defeats Script side to avoid this from even happening?

 

Thx for making this fix
dunno if this is also an LE issue. 

I ve seen Stack Dumps with "OnCrossHairReference" but never in my own Logs (I m on LE)
But from what I read on how this works I guess the problem is only on LE... 

(EDIT; without having to enable the Use Key of course )

I've found that this script fix makes NADE perform incredibly better, so honestly I'd just link to it - but the new Deviously Helpless Redux refers to one possible workaround:

Replaced DisablePlayerControls with SetPlayerAIDriven not to run into Skyrim’s bug about CrosshairRefEvents script hang

 

I of course don't know if that will have undesirable side effects - the author of that mod may have a better idea.

SetPlayerAIDriven

 

I used this since day 1 of Naked Defeat, so this seems not to change anything.

Good to know, scratch that!

[Nikett7]

Is it possible to update it to version 161170?

huh?
is this no longer working with the current release of skyrim ae?

[redhat42]

It does work perfectly on 1170

Baka's defeat was deadlocking the game
Man, you saved my modpack from butchering mid playthrough.

[crajjjj]

This mod is underrated. Why the heck it is not in the engine fixes. Fixes FHU also

I wonder if this would still work on latest versions of naked defeat. I think Nymra disabled this to prevent the issues that this mod fixes so it might not be needed anymore

this mod is indeed no longer needed for naked defeat, hence it is no longer listed in the requirements. 
As I understand it, I removed the cause of this issue some time after this fix was released. 
But it is still usefull also for other mods and it might be that the crosshair ref is required in the future to be reimplemented, but that would appear in big red letters in the changelog.
