Description

Simple alternative to using a Debug build of SKSE64 skse64_loader to attach a debugger to SkyrimSE.exe before Skyrim loads.

Note: if you can compile a debug build of SKSE64 that is more convenient (the game automatically starts when you attach a debugger) and can catch earlier initialization than this can.

Inspired by Launch Blocker but built using CommonLibSSE-NG to support more modern versions of Skyrim.

It's simple.

Enable this plugin in MO2 and you'll get a prompt to continue.

This blocks all SKSE plugins from loading until you press OK.

Note: this is, itself, implemented as an SKSE plugin. It runs first because it is named !!!!!.SkyrimScripting.Wait.dll and SKSE loads plugins in alphebetical order based on .dll name.

Do it yourself

If you want your own SKSE plugin to block using this message box before it loads, simply:

1. #include <Windows.h>

2. MessageBoxA(NULL, "Press OK when you're ready!", "Skyrim", MB_OK | MB_ICONQUESTION);

3. Attach your debugger

4. Press OK
