CommonLibSSE-NG Alternatives

CommonLibSSE-NG reviews and mentions

• Advice on how to update a mod to "NG"
  1 project | /r/skyrimmods | 6 Jul 2023

  If I were to set out to do this, I'd find the github repo for a plugin that got upgraded to the NG variation of CommonLibSE, and read the commit history to see how the modder went about doing it. I took a look at one of these a while back, and it's mostly pulling in the NG library, telling cmake about the new library, then walking through all the places where the APIs changed. You might want to find a Discord where the plugin authors hang out to get some head starts on dealing with the API changes.

• If I want to make a SKSE plugin, do I have to use C++?

  You can technically write an SKSE plugin in any language (see PluginAPI.h for the minimum requirements your DLL must provide), but all of the interesting middleware that makes writing a plugin easier is in C++. I would highly suggest looking at https://github.com/CharmedBaryon/CommonLibSSE-NG. It wraps many gameplay objects with a modern interface, and does a lot to help abstract over the differences between different patches of the game.

• Improved Camera SE - Preview Release 5 (1.5.97/1.6.353)

  Next Gen. It's a term used for mods that utilize the CommonLibSSE-NG which makes this NG DLL mods work on any Skyrim SE version.

• Mod Release: Civil War Lines Expansion

  Ask them if they would be willing to move it over to the CLIB-NG framework, it only requires building one plugin, and maintaining updates for future SKSE versions only requires editing one line

• How hard is it to make SKSE plugins cross-compatible between versions?
  1 project | /r/skyrimmods | 10 Oct 2022

  Please note that I am NOT trying to ask this in a sarcastic way. I've seen some SKSE plugin authors say in their descriptions that their plugin works with all game versions due to being build with CommonLibSSE-NG. Given that there was only a 5 hour gap between the release of POISE - Stagger Overhaul SKSE and POISE - Stagger Overhaul - NG, it seems like its a relatively quick process. Is this just not something that can be done with any plugin?

• Need Help Updating Proteus DLL
  1 project | /r/skyrimmods | 4 Oct 2022

  I know nothing of developing plugins, so this probably isnt even useful for you, but someone made a fork of CommonLibSSE for it to be able to support multiple versions of the game with a single .dll, its is what mods like True Directional Movement uses. It should make the port more straight forward and the documentation seems pretty good.

• Mod authors, what tools do you wish existed to make your life easier when creating mods?

  SKSE plugin development doesn't get any easier than CommonLibSSE. The NG fork has significantly more documentation and lets you compile SKSE plugins that support Skyrim SE, AE, and VR simultaneously.

• "Supports both SE and AE."
  1 project | /r/skyrimmods | 7 Aug 2022

  It means the plugin was built using the CommonLibSSE-NG framework, NG stands for Next Gen
