Destroyah380 Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 (edited) Ages ago I was linked to a page on LoversLab for a mod on Baidu that merges an assload of Mihail's monster mods & ofc I downloaded it as I have no clue how to merge them myself & Mihail is more interested in making even more mods than ever merging them for people. Ofc getting it from Baidu meant its in Chinese, which while annoying I decided to ignore it. However it has renamed alot of vanilla assets with those broken characters & Im going through my mods to start cleaning them out, so I wanted to tackle this mod but Im running into issues. First as you can see in the pic below, the names aren't even Chinese like I expected, they're gibberish. They were boxes in game & I figured it was just cuz Im using an english game & thats all but this is just ridiculous. What's worse is I cant even edit the names myself. xEdit wont let me touch them even tho I have edited names for vanilla & mod assets for Skyrim, Oblivion, & Fallout 4 in the past so idk why it won't let me do it to these. CK crashes upon trying to load the plugins & I cannot use xTranslator either, I already tried & it wouldnt translate anything because its all in gibberish instead of Chinese like it should've been. When I set it to go to Chinese, it actually shows it in Chinese but it keeps the gibberish for English. I only want to rename the actor's names, item names, & any vanilla stuff this mod touches, etc. so they appear normal ingame. No need to touch anything I normally cant see like scripts or effects. I already know how to identify each monster the pack adds from the originals, i just need xEdit to let me actually rename them so I dont have to try merging the originals myself. I've tried running xEdit as admin, setting the folder to not read-only, & applying a script to change their names but it only gives them their editor ID for their name which isn't what I need. Any other ideas besides these yall can think of? Edited March 23, 2021 by Destroyah380 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsharaMeradin Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Can you copy a record as override and edit that copy? i.e. create a patch that changes the name field for each affected record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
