Empty scripts always activating.

[MithelCelestia]

I've been having some active scripts cluttering my save. The active script counts up to 2500+ and almost all of them have functions: 0 in them so I suspect empty scripts are activating. I have cleaned them through Savetool and no problem there, but the scripts keep coming back. Even worse, it seems to override a mounted combat fix I have completely nulling the fix. I suspect a mod is constantly activating the scripts in the background and it constantly gets annoying if I have to keep erasing all active scripts to make sure the mounted combat fix Stays fixed.

 

My load order is as follows to help me find the cause:

I suspect Scaling stopper to be the culprit, but I'm not certain. Others may be Footprints, Dr_Bandolier or, the least likely, More Believable Carry Weights. The other mods I have used them before without a problem, but these are the new mods since then.

If you are using flexcreators Save Scalpel to clean saves, there is something you should know.

 

After the first time you run that application, it creates an .xml file that stores your load-order for quicker processing of later saves. This file is called "cashedclasses.xml" (yes, it IS misspelled), and is located in the same folder as the .exe for the tool.

 

Now, if you later remove a mod but do not delete that .xml file, it will inject references to removed mods BACK INTO YOUR SAVE!!

 

Flexcreator has acknowledged this as being an issue.

 

The fix is easy--simply delete that file (another one will be created, an accurate one) and run the tool again.

PS: Footprints is wonky--everytime I put it in my load-order, I have issues with it. I eventually stopped trying to use it.

Bugnexus7, I have that cashedclasses.xml file too. It contains mod entries from mods I removed long ago. I know in the Save Game Scalpel, it tells me I have heavy resource classes from mods like Winterhold Destruction and Shadow of Meresis which should have vanished years ago. Didn't realize the same tool made it appear over and over.

 

If I remove the cashedclasses.xml file will it mess up my game?

"If I remove the cashedclasses.xml file will it mess up my game?"

 

Absolutely not!

 

I delete it every single time I add or remove a mod. As I said, PDT ( the save-clean tool) creates a new one if there isn't one present ( the new one will be accurate!), but the first time you run it without that file present it will take much longer for the tool to run. That is the whole point of the .xml file--to speed things up.

 

If you wish to test all of this, simply run the tool. Then, delete the file and run it again on the same save--if that .xml file had garbage in it, you will see totally different results.

 

Cheers,
