Adv TesEdit question

[Tulsa299]

So I'm learning more about tesedit, I have the manual and have read a decent amount of it.. kind of.. I learn by doing not reading..unfortunately.

 

So the question, bare with me in it's explanation.

 

Say I have three mods, I load them into tesedit:

 

Mod 1 mod 2 mod 3 <<<<right panel

 

addthing blank blank

 

Moving mod 1 below mod 3 in the load order will fix this problem yes?

Alternatively, can I drag ''addthing'' from mod 2 (within tesedit) to mod 3, I.e adding an asset from mod 2 to mod 3 and be happy with my nice green wall of text.

 

Mod 1 mod 2 mod3

Addthing addthing

 

i think this is more complex than I'm giving it credit for... Is this what a merged patch does? If so why does my patch not affect all conflicting mods? is it the apply filter process?

 

Halp.

Yes. Probably the best solution if you're not all that familiar with Tes5Edit.

Rather depends on what that might be. If, for example, it's a simple edit to change a vanilla weapon's base damage, then you can indeed just drag it over.

A word of advice: Don't focus too much on the colors of record entries. All it takes for an entry to be "red" is to have 3 or more plugins change the value. It doesn't necessarily mean it's something gamebreaking or anything like that.

 

But if the change is say; a different (mod-added mesh), then Tes5Edit will ask you to add the plugin from mod #1 as master to mod # 3.

 

Your best bet would be to either re-sort the plugins or make a patch which loads behind all those mods to which you can add these changes. And yes, a merged can indeed do this too, but a merged patch is created through an automated process. If you create one, you will need to check it's records to see if it does what you want. You can also add whatever record you want it to add too.

Don't bother applying any kind of filters at all when doing any of the above. Besides, it might filter out something important.

Thanks for clearing that up for me.
