Where Are You?

Skyrim mod to lookup NPCs in game. Access the modpage for the full description.

Project Requirements

• Visual Studio 2022 (the free Community edition is fine!)
• vcpkg
  • 1. Clone the repository using git OR download it as a .zip
  • 2. Go into the vcpkg folder and double-click on bootstrap-vcpkg.bat
  • 3. Edit your system or user Environment Variables and add a new one:
    • Name: VCPKG_ROOT
      Value: C:\path\to\wherever\your\vcpkg\folder\is

Once you have Visual Studio 2022 installed, you can open this folder in basically any C++ editor, e.g. VS Code or CLion or Visual Studio

• for VS Code, if you are not automatically prompted to install the C++ and CMake Tools extensions, please install those and then close VS Code and then open this project as a folder in VS Code

You may need to click OK on a few windows, but the project should automatically run CMake!

It will automatically download CommonLibSSE NG and everything you need to get started making your new plugin!

Project Structure

By default, when this project compiles it will output a .dll for your SKSE plugin into the build/ folder.

But you probably want to put the .dll into your Skyrim mods folder, e.g. the mods folder used by Mod Organizer 2 or Vortex.

You can configure this project to automatically output the SKSE plugin .dll into:

• <your mods folder>\<name you give this project>\SKSE\Plugins\<your mod>.dll
  if you set the SKYRIM_MODS_FOLDER environment variable to the root of your mods folder (i.e. <your mods folder>)

• Example:

  • Name: SKYRIM_MODS_FOLDER
    Value: C:\path\to\wherever\your\Skyrim\mods\are
