Do you like having your spells sorted according to school and level? Do you like it when you can quickly see what the level and magic school is for a spell? If so, then this is the mod for you. It adds prefixes to your spells and those on spell merchants. What kind of prefixes are added is up to you. You can have the spell's school and level, or also it's strongest effect. And several ways to seperate the prefix from the spell. To configure the sorting mode, change the settings in the "Kyoma's Spell Renamer.ini" file. You can find a full list plus examples of different sorting modes in that file.

This version is a reboot of the 'Spell Renamer' series and goes back-to-basics. If you were using an older version (anything below v2) and had a slight lag when using it, you should definitely try this new version. The possible performance hit has been reduced to (almost) zero.

New in this version (well part new, part expanded) is the ability to rename a spell by hand. To do this you can rightclick on a spell and a menu will be displayed where you can type the new name for it. As a bonus I've now also added the ability to rename scripted effects on spells. If a spell has scripted effects a button "Scripted Effects" will appear in the renaming menu mentioned above. When you click it you'll get a small menu where you can select the scripted effect you want to rename. From there it is the same as renaming the spell itself. If you've previously renamed the spell or any of its effects you can restore the original spell names by clicking the appropriate button. Custom made spells won't have this.


***Modders Note***
If you are changing the names or the school/mastery level of a spell, the Spell Renamer does not know it needs to recheck it for the correct prefix. It's not a big problem since it will always recheck after a game load but it can be annoying. As a modder there is something simple you can do to help Spell Renamer. It doesn't mean you'll need Spell Renamer as a master plugin, it doesn't even mean you have to be using Spell Renamer. All it requires is OBSE v18 or higher, if your mod doesn't need v18 you can make this addition optional by checking for OBSE's version first. Just place the lines below after the code where you change a spell. Keep in mind you need to use a MyQuest.spellRef syntax as it will be run in the console (and there are no variables in the console itself).

If you're only changing a single spell you can put these two lines in your script.
RunScriptLine "set SRQuest.pSpell to <myquest>"<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>RunScriptLine "set SRQuest.iRecheck to 1"<br>Or if you're changing multiple spells per frame you can use this instead. That will cause Spell Renamer to recheck all spells.<br><span class="wbbtab"></span>RunScriptLine "set SRQuest.iRecheck to 2"<br>******************<br><br>========================================<br>2.
