• Run cmake
• Close the cmd window

Building

git clone https://github.com/alandtse/WhoseQuestIsItAnyway.git
cd WhoseQuestIsItAnyway

CommonLibSSE or CommonLibVR

# pull CommonLibSSE and CommonLibVR
# alternatively, override by setting environment variable `CommonLibSSEPath` or `CommonLibVRPath` if you need something different from extern
git submodule update --init --recursive

SSE

cmake -B build -S .

VR

cmake -B build -S . -DBUILD_SKYRIMVR=ON

Open build/WhoseQuestIsItAnyway.sln in Visual Studio.

Building in Visual Studio

1. Select Configuration and Platform (e.g., Release/x64)
2. Build Solution (Build -> Build Solution (Ctrl-Shift-B))
3. Copy files from build/Release (e.g., ExampleProject.dll) to /Data/SKSE/Plugin.
   • Alternatively, run cmake with -DCOPY_BUILD=on to auto copy to directory and set SkyrimSSEPath or SkyrimVRPath in environment or CMakeLists.txt.

Testing in Skyrim

1. Install required end user dependencies.
   • SSE
     • SKSE
     • Addess Library for SKSE
   • VR
     • SKSEVR
     • VR Address Library for SKSE
2. Run Skyrim.
3. Logs will be generated in my games\Skyrim Special Edition\SKSE\WhoseQuestIsItAnyway.log or my games\Skyrim VR\SKSE\WhoseQuestIsItAnyway.log

Making Changes

Project Name, Version, and Author

A tweak number is automatically added to VR builds to distinguish from SSE (e.g., SSE build (1.0.0) vs VR build (1.0.0.1)). This is set by VR_VERSION.

• Edit lines 2-3 CMakeLists.txt. This will take effect after the next run of cmake.
• Edit vcpkg.json name and version-string sections.
• Edit LICENSE to change copyright author.

Adding Development Dependencies

• Edit vcpkg.json dependencies section. vcpkg install or use cmake
