Knockout Extensions NG 0.5.0-beta - Recontinued

Hello peeps. This is something I've been cooking for this past month. I know I said this mod was discontinued, but I just couldn't let go of my dream of non-lethal stealth in Skyrim.

A bunch of stuff was added (see bottomost features) but I'm also reiterating the original features in this post because it's been quite some time since I updated this.

Features & Changes:

• Extended vanilla knockout status to make NPCs react properly to being set unconscious (ragdoll, sleep)

• Unaware NPCs can be knocked out from behind through bashing.

• Essential NPCs can go into an unconscious state instead of going into bleedout recovery state when their HP falls to 0.

• NPCs in bleedout (kneeling when close to death) can now be bashed to knock them out instead of killing them outright.

• Unconscious NPCs now wake up after 4 hours by default.

• Knocking out non-hostile NPCs is a crime by default

• Unconscious NPCs are lootable.

• Configurable through Settings ini file.

• New: Game now treats NPCs being unconscious the same as being dead for compatibility (meaning it's now possible to fail a side quest by knocking someone out the same as you would kill them). Can be disabled in the ini.

• New: Rebuilt knockout system to use true ragdoll.

• New: NPCs in non-optional scenes cannot become unconscious.

• New: NPCs reserved by quests cannot become unconscious.

• New: Fixed bug related to NPCs not ragdolling and standing there when knocked out.

• New: Fixed bug related to unconscious NPCs not waking up.

• New: Fixed bug where NPC eyes would stay closed on waking up.

• New: Fixed crash from trying to wake up nonexistent actor (e.g a non-persistent generic bandit).

Important Information:

Note that this mod, like all SKSE plugins, can be removed safely mid-playthrough. However, unconsciousness is a status that is originally in the vanilla game so it is baked into the save along with actor data. So removing this plugin while there are unconscious NPCs may make it so that they never recover.

Debugging:

To set/unset unconscious status on NPCs, use the console commands while the plugin is installed

Enable:
setunconscious 1

Disable:

setunconscious 0

Note:

Thanks for your support everyone! And have a happy holiday! I'll see you all again on the 25th.
