# F4SE Notes

F4SE is expected to be the main entry point for the native plugin side of Fallout 4 Together.

## Plugin Goals

The first plugin goals are:

- Confirm the plugin loads
- Create a log file
- Detect the game version
- Read the local player reference
- Read the local player position
- Send basic data to a local server

## Expected Plugin Output

Eventually, the compiled plugin should output something like:

```text
Data/F4SE/Plugins/Fallout4Together.dll
```

## Important Notes

Do not commit F4SE binaries to this repository.

Do not commit Fallout 4 executable files or game assets.

Use a CommonLibF4 template to reduce setup friction.

## Plugin Safety

Avoid modifying Fallout 4 game objects directly from a networking thread.

Recommended flow:

```text
Networking thread receives packets
Networking thread stores packet data
Main/game update applies safe changes
```
