zone22 Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 I've been working on building my load order and doing a lot of testing. From what I've heard out of order Masters is not a big deal most of the time. From my understanding this happens when an esp is created with an authors load order, then when the user installs the esp with load order that differs then from what the esp was created from.When running dynamic patches there picking up some ESP files that have out of order Masters. Consequently it causes a dynamic patch to have out of order Masters. For instance Masters ported by SleepingDangers-SandsofTime.esp In the window on the lower right side of Wrye Bash 00 Skyrim.esm01 Dawnguard.esm02 Dragonborn.esm03 SleepingDangers-SandsofTime.esp04 Unofficial Skyrim Patch.esp [Version 2.0.8a]05 PerkusMaximus_Master.esp Masters reported by Wrye Bash list Masters function for SOTxPerMa.esp:00 Skyrim.esm01 Unofficial Skyrim Patch.esp [Version 2.0.8a]02 Dawnguard.esm03 Dragonborn.esm04 SleepingDangers-SandsofTime.esp05 PerkusMaximus_Master.esp The second list is what I would expect. But when I run run dynamic like PerkusMaximus_Master it carries over out of order Masters.First why discrepancy between what the ESP reports and Wrye Bash list Masters function?Are Out of order Masters problematic for dynamic patches?I'v gone through my load order and sorted all the Masters. Unfortunately when I create a PerkusMaximus dynamic patch I still get out of order Masters. I'm stumped.If all the Masters are in order after running "Sort Masters" in TES5Edit then why is a dynamic patcher creating an ESP file that has out of order Masters?
DoctorSamanth Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 use LOOT it should solve your problem
zone22 Posted December 17, 2014 Author Posted December 17, 2014 use LOOT it should solve your problemLOOT Is run before the dynamic patcher starts every time.
IsharaMeradin Posted December 17, 2014 Posted December 17, 2014 Use LOOT's feature to re-date the plugins. It will change the date of the plugins so that they will be listed in utilities in the same order as the load order when those utilities only go by the install date. Primarily for use with the Creation Kit. It may, however, have an impact on what you are trying to do. Brief instructions:After you sort the plugins, go to the File drop down menu in LOOT and select "Redate Plugins" Do note:I've never used this dynamic patcher you are talking about. Merely offering this as a potential solution. It may or may not work.
