Starfield Creation Support

Various fixes and improvements for compatibility with the Starfield Creation update.

  • Added new core plugins to the primary plugins list
  • Utilize Starfield.ccc to 'fix' the load order of core plugins
    • By default, Starfield now loads core plugins after plugins.txt unless required by a dependent plugin
    • This forces the plugins to a default early load order, making the plugin memory addressing easier to predict and less prone to unintended record conflicts
    • The file is written to the active profile and virtualized to the game and My Games directories
  • Removed various now-irrelevant checks
    • Plugins.txt Enabler is obsolete
    • Light-flagged plugins no longer generate warnings
    • Remove overlay-flag checks until such time as they actually become relevant
  • Added support for new 'medium'-flagged plugins
    • These use FD memory addresses which will display in the plugin list
    • A warning will display if a plugin has both a light and medium flag in the header as this could indicate record reference corruption and could break the game
  • Added creation kit to default executables
  • Updated save parsing to handle the newer save format
  • Added support for Creations parsing from ContentCatalog.txt
    • Creation mods pull both names and file lists from the content catalog
  • BSA Packer now supports Starfield archive formats
    • Dummy plugins are now saved as light-flagged ESMs
  • LOOT support is now automatically enabled with the addition of libloot 0.23.0

Bethesda Game Updates & Fixes

  • Add detection for Skyrim VR light plugin support SKSE plugin (#29)
  • Allow TTW to pull Nexus categories from FNV
