Enhanced Projectile Soul Trap is a revised version of the previous Projectile Soul Trap with Visible Impact Effect to be compatible with Acquisitive Soul Gems, while additionally being completely error free. This mod changes the Soul Trap spell to be a projectile and have a visible impact, so that you can see where the spell is going.

Dropped in 2.2.8 as the Unofficial Skyrim Patch fixes this issue.

Moved thread to the Anthology and updated OP with "header".

New version.

v1.1 - Now that TES5Edit allows me to see VMAD (script) records properly, a few issues were fixed with some VMADS pointing to undefined references  This only happened with the Acqusisitve Soul Gems compatible version.

Not sure how much this would affect the game, but at least it's there. 

 

EDIT: And it turns out while I was uploading this version, someone had a issue with a common soul gem disappearing with ASG and my mod. Turns out the faulty VMADs were the culprit. (For the record, this is the relevant discussion. It starts here and goes onto the next page.)

Hey WilliamImm, I noticed in the USKP 2.0 changelog the following fix:

 

"The Soul Trap spell lacked a visual projectile when cast due to having the wrong delivery type set. (Bug #12938)"

 

I'm wondering how this will affect the functionality of your mod (not beta testing uskp 2.0 myself because im finally doing a playthrough after months of modding).

[WilliamImm]

If you use Acquistive Soul Gems, this mod is still needed because ASG does not include a fix for the projectile. At least not yet.

[phazer11]

They weren't asking about your mod and ASG, they were asking about your mod in relation to the changes in USKP (Unofficial Skyrim Patch)

[WilliamImm]

I haven't asked the USKP team about this fix yet. I'll do it soon, but I'm pretty sure it's something along the lines of my mod.

[TechAngel85]

This has been made obsolete by the USKP unless we want to keep the graphics from this mod:

 

The Soul Trap spell lacked a visual projectile when cast due to having the wrong delivery type set. (Bug #12938)

 

[WilliamImm]

Or if we still want to use Acquisitive Soul Gems (which doesn't carry over the fix). I don't, I went to Smart Souls after the update.

Has anyone of you guys confirmed that USKP does provide a soul trap projectile? In my case it doesn't and I'm wondering whether that's on my part or not.

I have not confirmed; however, I know that there are issues if you don't uninstall the Beta/old version correctly. I'd uninstall, load and go to an interior, wait for 24hrs and re-save to make sure it's all cleaned up before installing the new version.

It might be better to test on a new save.

[torminater]

I already tried new saves, but there it didn't work either.

[WilliamImm]

I think this is because the Soul Trap effect itself is not fixed, or only because the Soul Trap magic effect is affected and not the spell. Also, the USKP's version will have the problem I had with earlier EPSG version - specifically, soul trapping inanimate objects gives you EXP, because a condition of "IsActor = 1" was not added.

So what are looking at in terms of usage and patching? Does anything need to be forwarded? Is this mod still required?
