General Displays SE

Version 2.5.se.1

Preface
Based on version 2.5 of the original mod, all the mods requiring General Displays must be updated for SSE area!

What it does
General Displays started out as an Addon to the General Stores Mod,
but since Version 2.3 it works as a standalone Mod. It is a Modder's
Resource, that adds various displays (similar to the ones provided by
GS) for many of the Treasures and Artifacts found in Skyrim. In the
spirit of GS, the displayed items are stored in a shared container, and
synchronized between all displays in the game world. Whenever a relevant
item is added to the treasure container, it automatically shows up on
all it's displays, and if it is taken from one, it is removed everywhere else.

Provided displays
  • Bug Jars
  • Dragon Claws (incl. Dragonborn versions)
  • Dragon Priest Masks (incl. Dragonborn versions)
  • Thieves Guild Trophies (Includes Crown of Barenziah, -> Note)
  • Divine Amulets
  • Hold Guard's Shields
  • Paragons (Dawnguard only)
  • Elder Scrolls (Dawnguard only, -> Note)
  • Black Books (Dragonborn only)
  • Many Unique Items (e.g. all Daedric Artifacts)
  • Many "Oddity"-Items (Unique Misc Items)

The mod comes with an sample "house" mod, for those who want the displays
but have no interest in modding themselves, in form of the optional
"Collector's Box" plugin. The Collector's Box is a small portable
treasure chest, that can be entered by the player and provides a number
display shelves for your treasures. The box can be crafted at any forge,
for the cost of some Iron, Firewood and a filled Grand Soulgem. (It can
only be crafted once, so don't loose it.)

Note
Half of the Thieves Guild Trophies and the Crown of Barenziah can normally
not be obtained. Therefore they can not be displayed on the shelves,
unless they are added to the player by other mods (e.g., my Thieves Guild Treasure Fix mod was specifically designed for that purpose).
Similarly, the Elder Scrolls and Black Books are quest items, and can normally not be removed
from the player's inventory. A mod that removes quest items (
for example like this Which quest's item - Show quest item owner (SKSE)) can fix that.  
(If necessary i will Built-in Thieves Guild Treasure Fix in one common esm).

Requirements

Since Version 2.3, none.

Compatibility
Only new content is added, and nothing in Skyrim is changed directly, so
this mod should be compatible with basically everything.
For use with the official DLCs Dawnguard and Dragonborn, optional addons are provided.
There is also an optional patch that integrates the mod with General Stores,
it is not strictly necessary for compatibility, though.

Performance
None of the displays are made persistent (i.e. permanently hold in the
memory), so there should be no impact on the game's overall performance.
Depending on the total number of displays in the game world, it may
take up to one or two seconds, until they are all updated after an item
is added to the treasure chest.

Installation
Just drop the "GeneralDisplays.esm" and "GeneralDisplays.bsa" and any
optional addons into your Skyrim Data directory.Alternatively, use a mod
manager.
A quick overview of the plugin files:

  • GeneralDisplays.esm: This is only-begotten file in version for SSE.
  • GeneralDisplays - DG.esm: Additional displays for Dawnguard items
  • GeneralDisplays - DB.esm: Additional displays for Dragonborn items   (Built-in in one common esm).

And from the optional download:
  • GeneralDisplays - GS.esp: A small patch that forces the mod to use the "Treasures" container from
    General Stores instead of its own. Requires General Stores (obviously)
  • CollectorsBox.esp: Contains a sample cell with some displays   (If necessary i will uilt-in CollectorsBox in one common esm).

How to use (for modders)
Using this mod is not much different from the original General Stores mod.
Just go to the Activators in the Construction Kit, and you will find
many entries prefixed with TFActxGSx.

Lazy Displays:
The simplest way is to look for activators with the word LAZY in their ID.
These usually have the form of shelves with a bunch of orange markers on
them. Just drag and drop one of those into your cell, and you are done.
The displayed items will now appear in place of the orange markers.

Custom Displays:
Alternatively, you can set up your own displays by placing any of the other
activators. These usually look like the items they represent. Just drag
and drop them anywhere in your cell, and they will show up as soon as
their respective item is added to the treasure chest. Some items are not
included in any lazy displays, and this is the only way to display
them.

Storage Access:
The activator TFActxGSxTreasureContainer can be set up anywhere to access the shared treasure container. It
works exactly like a General Stores container, but can be used
regardless of whether General Stores is installed or not.

Sorters:
There are a few activators, those with SORT in their ID, that can be used to
automatically transfer items from the player's inventory to the
displays. These have no 3D mesh on their own, and are instead intended
to be used as trigger boxes. A few things to keep in mind when working
with these:
  • Trigger boxes can be created by clicking the "T" button in the creation kit menu, and then choosing the appropiate activator.
  • You will want the player to be able to activate the triggers, so
    double-click the box, go to the "Primitive" tab and toggle the "Player
    Activation" checkbox.
  • Due to a skyrim bug, the triggers can't be activated if their Z rotation is 0.
  • The sort scripts do not check for quest items and will remove them from the
    player's inventory, even if they are still required for quests - this
    can be good or bad.
  • If you want a proper sorter, with 3D mesh and everything, you can easily make your own. Simply copy any of the
    existing sorters and modify it as needed. You can control which items
    are sorted by opening its script properties and pointing "MyList" to any
    Form List.

For inspiration, you can take a look at the sample cell provided in the optional download (The cell name in CK is
"TFCellxGSxSample").
