Enemy Levels - Know what you're up against!

Reading the discussion almost on a daily basis, I came across a post in which someone complained about enemies who outleveled the player, not being able to clear a dungeon. This is a simple mod, which I made earlier for Skyrim, displaying the level of the player and the highest level of the enemies in a dungeon, and displays the levels in a notification in the top left corner of the screen:

Player level: ###
Highest enemy level: ###

The most simple way of achieving this, was by assigning a key on the keyboard to start the script and display the notification. By default the N-key on the US keyboard is used. To accommodate the use of other keyboard types, or the change of the key, the console can be used to change the value of a global variable:


where ### is the DXScanCode[www.creationkit.com] of the key in decimal notation, e.g. N = 49 (default). Don't use any key that is already in use by the game, as then the mod won't work! To set the key to its default, use a value of 0 or 49. You will have to use the previous registered key one more time before the new key will be in effect.

I have chosen for this solution to prevent the use of a Menu Configuration Menu (MCM) for just one config setting and to prevent creating a spell or an equippable item to attach the script to.

A dungeon may consist of more than one cell. If so, you will notice entering a next cell by a loading screen, and you will have to use the configured key again. The key works both in interior and exterior cells, but keep in mind that exterior cells have a fixed size of 4096x4096 game units, where interior cells do not.

Once you have entered a dungeon or a specific cell in a dungeon, use the key directly, as upon entering the first part of the cell will (usually) not contain enemies, so you can always return if the enemies outlevel you.

Other mods may also use the N-key or other keys to activate scripts. Be sure to check your mods on such use and change the DXScanCode when conflicts could occur, before starting to use this mod.
