Okay, so I dug into the code and found out how to probe it for whether or not the story progression engine is turned on...I think.

Obviously, I have no way to test this, as I don't actually have the mod installed, so either you're going to have to come to #grah, or operate on a very slow testing cycle where there's no fast way to get you test builds and get any reports back.

I'm not sure how you "turn it off". But if you have it installed, AwesomeMod is able to detect that you have it installed and will cede control of story progression over to it.

Now when you say "another world", you mean that you are turning it on and off on a per-save-file basis? What does this look like? Because searching for this behavior in someone else's code when I've never experienced this code in an ildasm output is needle-in-haystack shit.

I have not currently implemented any method of doing this, because I wasn't aware that NRAAS story progression was "world specific". Since it makes no sense to have two story progression drivers running and fighting each other, I simply reasoned that if you installed NRAAS, you clearly wanted that one.

What do you even mean by this, anyway? You mean you have different saves in different worlds?

I ran NRAAS core mod along with AWESOMEMOD ever since the NRAAS mode came out. I can't find it in my notes but I'm pretty sure I just turned NRAAS story progression off.
Game itself: Story progression on
NRAAS: Story progression off
Awesomemod: >showconfig< at the cmd prompt and check.
