Hello everyone!

I've been using the amazing "Skill Diary" to track my levelling progress and it has been a tremendous help so far.

Unfortunately something broke it and I dont know what (basically it tracked my skill progression wrongly, and now after a re-install it doesnt detect anything at all)


1) Is there an alternative out there to track my skill progress? I'd even consider something involing the console.

Did you do a clean save before re-installing it?

The console codes are:
sdt 10 (set debug text page 10)
tdt (toggle debug text on/off)

That mod is great when it works, but it *always* breaks at some point. (Reinstalling works sometimes, but it will only track *after* your next level-up, and even then sometimes gets it wrong). It seems like with obse and menuque it ought to be possible to make a mod that just grabs and reports the values from the debug page instead of going through all the tracking and math that the skill diary mod uses.

That skill diary mod was great for its time but so many things seemed to break it and cause all of the skill gains to go to negative numbers or some other weird problem. My suggestion is to ditch it altogether and go with a superior leveling system like http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=35333.

That mod is useless imo. You can easily track your current level skillups with debug text 10 and never miss that x5 bonus.

Edit: Nevermind, just saw dreamed1 posted the very same thing.

Is there a way to output that data to a text file? Or, capture it for use in a script?

The best utility I know of is ShadeMe's http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=26510

I was looking at that..... according to theory, it would be possible to output the text to a file, then, import said text into an array, extract what you wanted, and present it on a scroll. (sorta like the current version of FormID find displays info) Trouble is, you would be forced to display the debug text on screen for a short second (frame or three?) to be able to extract it from the log file. What I would REALLY like, is to be able to expose the data, without having it appear on screen, until is was presented on the scroll.

Ooops, it appears that TDT is not one of the supported console commands in OBSE.
