Mod Question.

[angelblackfire]

Hey there,

As topic description says. I know this question may come of as stupid but I was wondering when installing two mods, One by the daupdater and the other by manually adding the files into the override folder is it possible that they will conflict with each other?

Thanks in advance.

They shouldnt, what ever you put into your override folder is what the game should use.

Err, .dazip are just unpacked into the override folder. Theres really no difference ?

That is not correct

 

When a dazip gets installed:

 

- The XML data for the mod is inserted into AddIns.xml

- The mods data files are copied to the AddIns folder

- The mods uid_package.erf is copied to packages/core/data

 

A dazip mod normally dont installs anything into the override folder

(altough ive seen a mod that was hybrid and had both, but thats the exception)

Just to add to what is being said:

 

Typically, dazips do not add into the override folder, but only because they don't need to. Overrides in dazip files are packaged in the the addins/packages/core/overrides/toolset folder, which works exactly as if they were placed in the main override folder. (My mods placed the overrides there).

 

The main problem is that dazips also pack their overrides in erf files, so you really have no idea what overrides they are introducing.

 

So finally, to answer your question... YES dazips can interfere with other overrides because they can be trying to override the same files. I would guess which ever mod installs later wins. Also, this is why we need a compatibility tester so badly.
