Version 0.0.1
initial upload
You don't need it if running SkyrimSE.exe version prior to 1.6.1170
Since upgrading to 1.6.117x users may have noticed they have 2 folders in documents Documents\My Games\Skyrim.INI and Documents\My Games\Skyrim Special Edition
Some plugins compiled with older common lib will incorrectly write logs to Documents\My Games\SKYRIM.INI\SKSE\*.log
So my OCD got triggered and I created this simple plugin that stupidly redirects all read/write attempts Documents\My Games\SKYRIM.INI -> Documents\My Games\Skyrim Special Edition
Installation:
Close MO2
drop SKSELogRedirector.py to your <MO2>\plugins\ directory
remove Documents\My Games\Skyrim.INI folder, it should only contain log files that get re-created every game start.
alternatively move contents of Documents\My Games\Skyrim.INI to Documents\My Games\Skyrim Special Editionif you don't want to delete it.
Open MO2, launch game via SKSE as usual, Skyrim.INI folder should not appear anymore. All logs will properly go to Documents\My Games\Skyrim Special Edition\SKSE\
Optional GOG version also provided, can be used in addition to main file. Redirects "Skyrim Special Edition" -> "Skyrim Special Edition GOG"
A user also reported files can get created in Documents\My Games\Skyrim VR, despite running SSE 1.6.117x with no VR installed. I've uploaded optional file to take care of that as well. You don't need it unless you encounter this bug. Don't try to use it on actual VR mo2 instance - things will break ;=)
Despite the name of the function, this is actually a bug in a CommonLib function caused by the Address Library. The CommonLib function calls a game function identified by an Address Library ID to get the log path. Unfortunately, since the Address Library is impossible to check by hand for accuracy, the ID started to refer to the wrong function after one update. I assume at least one of the CommonLib forks out there has been updated to fix this, but plugins will need to be recompiled against a newer version of CommonLib to receive the fix.
Also big fat warning about Windows 11. MO2 currently has a bug on win11, where some .dll and python plugins simply ignore VFS and can escape it. It's a very very major bug that forced me to downgrade to Win10. I have no idea if this plugin catches all .dll that write to Skyrim.INI on win11 as I can't test. But users report it works fine on win11.
