Fo3edit Merged Patch Question

[Noggog]

edit:

I think it was FOOK2's hotfix that had references to non existent items. I don't know why FO3edit didn't give the normal "could not be resolved" error... but I found it just by looking around and deleted them. Haven't seen the error stated below since. I still would love to know what it was trying to tell me, though.. and how I could more easily pinpoint where the error was.

 

 

 

I'm getting this error when I simply try to make a merged patch of FOOK and FWE and DLCs: "Found a REFR reference, expected: FACT,RACE".

I have more mods, but I'm more in a troubleshooting stage.

 

I tried filtering for REFR, FACT, RACE.. and I still couldn't pinpoint where/what it was.

 

What does the error mean?

I expect that a REFR answer was given to a FACTion or RACE slot.

 

How do I pinpoint what's causing the error to patch it?

Or... does it even matter? I don't know if it's a serious error or not.

I've looked through the "manual", but haven't found any answers concerning this error.

 

Thanks in advance! 8)

 

 

 

 

Just in case you're wondering:

Load order:

(the .esp's activate the masters they rely on in FO3edit when it's loaded up)

 

Anchorage.esm

PointLookout.esm

ThePitt.esm

BrokenSteel.esm

Zeta.esm

FOOK2 - Main.esp

FOOK2 - Main [Hotfix].esp

FO3 Wanderers Edition - Main File.esp

 

Total active plugins: 8

Total plugins: 208

i've seen the same thing when doing a merged patch with those mods - the errors I got came from anchorage. I just ignored them and things are fine. I'd be more concerned if the error came from Fook, FWe, or my own mod, because it does indicate a corrupt record. I've had it happen in my own mods when removing a record or a master with fo3edit sometimes. Loading the mod in the Geck sometimes fixes it. Other times, I just make a new esp and copy all the good records to it from the old one, just to be sure.

This is one of the issues I'm having. I only recieve it after creating the patch, and along with it I get an INFO and a score of error: could not be resolved errors. FO3 ctds on startup...about 20 seconds after, if I run fo3masterupdate.
