Is there anything to get rid of the arbitrary enchantment re : V - Skyrim

I was adding (ArmorGauntlets) instead of (ClothingHands)

EDIT: It appears you did add (clothinghands) to the alteration enchantment. Hmmm, why can't I enchant the gloves then?

Actually, I think these gloves were added by a crafting mod. Could that cause an issue?

Sounds possible. I dunno. Have you tried adding a normal pair of gloves to your game using the console and enchanting them? Any gauntlets at all?

Well, I was doing the same thing as you, but I think I realized why my tests went awry. I was trying to add cloth gloves to the fortify alteration enchantment. However I now think I was adding the word for greaves. So I took a look at your plugin and I couldn't enchant my gloves with alteration. So, I think there's a different selector for each type of body covering.

There's armor and clothing for each part. Or so it seems to me.

Yeah, there's ArmorHelmet - ClothingHead, ArmorGauntlets - ClothingHands, ArmorBoots - ClothingFeet and ArmorCuirass - ClothingBody. Plus ArmorShield, ClothingRing, ClothingNecklace and ClothingCirclet. I just added all 12 types for all enchantments. Might've missed a record or two, will check.

Probably. Could also be that the interface isn't updating. Try exiting from the enchant table and reopening.

You check that and I'll wait patiently to see if there's any update. Have to wait anyway until Elys updates his mod =P

Yeah, your gloves are not showing up as valid items for the enchant because they're added from a mod. The items need to have KYWD/keyword formID (in this case the ArmorGauntlets) set in their KWDA subrecord for the game to recognize them as being part of that itemtype. Check if your crafted gaunlets have a KSIZ and KWDA subrecord.

KSIZ is basically a counter that controls how many itemtype groups the item is part of. KWDA is then the formIDs for the KYWD/keywords of the itemtypes. I think it's easier to figure out if you take a look at existing weapons/armor to get a grasp of it.

Edit: Let's take the Glass Gauntlets as an example. KSIZ is 4 (00000004) meaning it's in four itemtype categories. KWDA then has four formIDs for these four categories. Looking them up shows it's in ArmorLight, ArmorMaterialGlass, ArmorGauntlets and VendorItemArmor.

I see. Sorry, I got a phone call and was away. Yeah, I'll make the necessary edits. Thanks for all your help.

People should definitely see this. Having the ability to enchant virtually anything on anything is nice
