Adding Spell Tomes to Merchants

Post » Wed Oct 28, 2015 2:47 am

Hello,

I made some cool spells and would like to share them with the community in a mod, but I wanted to ask for advice/help on the recommended way to distribute my books.

What is the most robust way to ensure my spell tomes are on the list of books for sale? Is it simply using a leveled list? Isn't there some sort of bug / problem where you can't modify a leveled list for a vendor?

Is there another way so the spells just appear universally, in shops/loot? I'm not picky about how they appear, although I'd prefer them to appear when the player hits certain levels (if that's possible)?

Thanks so much!

No bugs that I'm aware of. Merchants all have associated containers, and those containers point to leveled lists. You would just need to update that list, specify the levels in which the items appear, and they will show up as long as something lower in the load order doesn't overwrite the leveled lists (which is where notifying users to make a Bashed Patch comes in.)

Yeah I think that was the issue! If I modify a leveled list to add my spells, then when someone else modifies the leveled list, I won't get my spells on the list anymore, right?

Since having people make bashed patches is an option (but the vast majority wont do this) the other alternative is what, a custom vendor?
