Need help changing the name of Master files.

[LndR182]

Hey guys.

Today I downloaded Improved Sound FX (http://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/35293/). Everything was going ok, but when I went to FNVEdit to make a merged patch, when it got to the file that patches that mod with EVE (Improved Sound FX - EVE.esp) I got this error: "Background Loader: Fatal: <EOSError: System Error. Code: 2." and it says it can't load the master file for that file. The master file it's trying to add is called "EVE FNV.esp". I figured out that the EVE .esp I have installed is called "EVE FNV - ALL DLC.esp".

I could just change it to what I needed to work with Improved Sound FX, but I'm also using Project Nevada and WMX, and those use "EVE FNV - ALL DLC.esp" as a master for their patches with EVE.
I was wondering if there was a way to change the name of the master file Improved Sound FX - EVE.esp needs to load through FNVEdit or some other program in order to get all those mods working together.
Thanks in advance.

First mods can't use .esp's as master so I think your looking for an .esm.

 

Get the EVE FNV.esm then FNVedit will be able to load the Improved Sound FX - EVE.esp.

 

next Load the mod in FNVedit, click on the file header and look at the master list change the EVE FNV.esm to EVE FNV - ALL DLC.esm Save and exit.

 

You have now changed the master and no longer need the EVE FNV.esm in you load order.

Technicalities, you can use a .esp as a master by tagging the master flag, but that's beside the point for this.

 

What you need to do is load up the one that's looking for EVE FNV.esp in FNVEdit, open the header section and where you see the name of EVE FNV.esp change it to be EVE FNV - ALL DLC.esp. Save and then reload with all of them.
