SMSEX or Ship Modules Snaps (and Flips).

Brought to you from the graveyard of obselete plugins, Ship Module Snap (and flips) Expansion, or SMSEX Was originally a Structures Flips and Snaps mod, created by Gilibran. Similar to Rux's excellent Better Flips and Better Snaps but older. This mod was created before Creation Kit and used Xedit as the primary tool plus an old version of NifSkope. As time went by and Rux's Better Flips and Snaps became the established standard, SMSEX has languished and become irrelevant. However, SMSEX still had some flips and a few cool ideas that had not been done before. After a lot of trepidation, I asked the former owners if I could take a stab at making it work with Rux's Better Flips. Removing everything that I thought was done better by Rux and keeping all the things that was done better by Better Flips. Eventually it morphed into a fair bit more. Today's result, while far from perfect, gets most users closer to a less restrictive ship design.

I have updated and added my own features using NifSkope and Creation kit to Frankenstein a new updated plugin. I have expanded on his mod, creating new structures and interesting ways to attach objects. Made to be compatible with Rux's Better Flips but NOT requiring BetterFlips, this mod hopes to embrace and extend on both Rux's Work and Gilibran's work.

Requirements: This plugin contains some items that work with best with something that allows for a loose overlap tolerance. However the majority of structures and utilities do not require this. A few of the flips have poor collision geometry. It is my hope to eventully fix thise.This Creation should be loaded after Rux's Better Flips in your Load-Order as this overrides a few structures from Rux's Better Flips mod.

What does this plugin do? This plugin adds to Better Flips where Better Flips missed some items. These items include:

Deimos Wings and Hull structures New Nova Wings and Cowl structures Stroud cowl pieces, Wings and engine braces Taiyo Thrusters and cowling pieces and finally a fully flippable and paintable 3x2 cowl that was never useful Also included, a unique set of 'Hab Snaps' Hab Snaps will extend your snapping ability to new levels. These Hab Snaps will allow for Snapping among doors so that one could set up snaps around habitats. Included are a set of Hab Snaps, capable of connection to virtually any space vehicle's snap, such as M-class ships, Stations and structures. Hab Snaps Will turn one snap point into as many as you want. They come in multiple sizes and flavors and are paintable. Also included are a number of "Spacer Snaps" that allow you to bridge over items with no snaps (May require large Overlap Tolerances) Door Snaps are a special breed of snaps. These Door Snaps will allow creating snap points between joined habitats where none were available before. Get yours, Free today!

A Note on Hab Snaps: Smaller Hab Snaps can be tricky to use. Mostly because of the Snapping and level system in Starfield's Ship Builder. If having trouble placing a snap, It's often best to place it using one of the snaps on the edge of the Hab Snap. Then Let it go. Click on it again and slide it over to the desired location.

This mod will never be a for pay mod. This mod was Authored by Gilibran as creator, JoeColinsc for modernization, Hobart (Delver on Nexus) as current Maintainer. This effort is entirely a seperate entity of the Original SMSEX by Gilibran but for whom, this mod would not be possible. As a result all inquiries should be sent to me on Creations Channel or to Gilibran of The Nexus, if there are qustions about Permissions

This is my first attempt at creating a mod. for other's use. And as such before using, Back-up your save. When at first one doesn't succeed, quit and give up. Go for a walk and try again.
