Brawl Bugs Patch, Plugins, and Modder's Resourcesby jonwd7

v1.0Original Thread

The Brawl Bugs patch was borne out of my work on my own Footprints mod. I amslow to release these kinds of things, and my footwork can be seen in previousversions such as the Brawl Bug Plugin by trebtreb, and in my own Footprintsmod in versions prior to 0.7. This fix is more general and should not requiremodders to adapt their work, and should even work on existing mods with thebug without any changes from the modder. It also addresses more bugs withthe Brawl-type scripts.

For modders, I have included a resource package which they are free to includein their BSA. Please also check out the tutorial below, which covers how toprevent the Brawl Bug without inclusion of my patch or scripts.

Q: "What else does it fix?"A: It covers a bit more than the straight-up 'Brawl Bug'. There were variousissues with the scripts such as OnHit/OnMagicEffectApply clashes, and a lackof using "states" which prevent a block from running more than once. Usingsome types of magic effects during a Brawl could cause Papyrus errors.

It also restores player healing behavior during Brawls which Bethesda hadtaken out due to their buggy implementation (which was left commented out inthe scripts). Now, as per the dialogue, you can no longer use magic in orderto heal yourself, buff yourself, or cast summons. This is considered cheatingand the Brawl immediately ends. The opponent gets to keep your money.

==============================================================================WHAT THIS FIXES==============================================================================1. The following scripts were affected in some way by the "Brawl Bug":- DGIntimidatePlayerScript- DGIntimidateAliasScript- C00VilkasScript- C00TrainerScript- MS11CalixtoScript (Questionable)- CompanionsSingleCombatantScript (Questionable)- BladesSparringScript (Most likely not affected, but included anyway)

2. Player healing behavior during Brawls. As per the dialogue, and Bethesda'sown code which was buggy (and therefore commented out), healing, casting buffs,or summoning during Brawls is now considered cheating.

3. The scripts did not use states to avoid race conditions. This led to errorsprinted to your logs if you would cheat with certain MGEFs, like Flames forexample. Flames would fire continuous OnHit/OnMagicEffectApply blocks andlead to Papyrus errors. I also short circuit the OnHit event when the sourceis a Spell, and let OnMagicEffectApply handle it to avoid block clashing.

==============================================================================INSTALLATION==============================================================================Install the BSA and ESP to your Data folder.Load as EARLY AS POSSIBLE in your load order.

==============================================================================UNINSTALLATION==============================================================================Remove the ESP and BSA from your data folder. It is NOT recommended touninstall ANY mod in the middle of a save game. However, the worst that shouldhappen by removing this patch is a few warnings in your Papyrus logs.

==============================================================================COMPATIBILITY==============================================================================There are no known compatibility issues. Put early in your load order andany changes will be overwritten by the later mod. If in doubt, download anduse the Compatibility Edition instead. (This requires Skyrim 1.6+)

==============================================================================CHANGELOG==============================================================================1.0 - Initial Release

==============================================================================PERMISSIONS / LICENSING==============================================================================- Permission is NOT given to redistribute this mod in whole or in part.- MODDERS: You have permission to include the resource files directly in yourmods. A mention in your credits would be appreciated.
