Help request: TES4gecko will not clean plugins

[Guinefort1]

Hi,

 

So I was recently informed that my latest mod has some dirty edits. I thought I fixed all of those, but whatever. So what do I do? I try to clean the file with TES4 Gecko. Easy right? Apparently not, as I keep getting error messages whenever I try. To demonstrate this problem, I designed two test files, one without any dirty edits, and one with a dirty edit.

 

So I click on the "Clean Plugin" function on Gecko and it leads the Oblivion esm file. So far so good right? The I get this message:

 

Exception while cleaning plugin

 

java.lang.OutofMemoryError: Java heap space

java.util.HashMap.infateTable(Unknown Source)

java.util.HashMap.put(Unknown Source)

TES4Gecko.Plugin.load(Plugin.java:1345)

TES4Gecko.CleanTask.run(CleanTask.java:126)

 

After this crops up, I click OK and am told that Gecko was unable to clean the plugin. This happens with both the clean and dirty files. So what gives? How do I fix it? Can I fix it? More importantly, can I fix it without needing a degree in computer science? Would I be better off just switching to TES4Edit?

 

I am running:

 

Windows 7

TES4Gecko 15.2

 

Thanks for your time,

If you want to completely clean your plugin(s) you need to use Tes4Edit, not Tes4Gecko!

Well then why on earth does Gecko have a clean plugin function? :confused: That wasn't directed at you by the way; that was rhetorical. If that is the case, then I will give TES4Edit a try and see if that program will cooperate. Thank you for your response. If others want to add there two cents, I would still appreciate feedback on this issue.

Tes4Gecko is a good tool to make some operation on the esp/esm, like merging and splitting.

Tes4Edit allow you to make more operations.

 

With Tes4Edit you need to learn how to clean: http://cs.elderscrolls.com/index.php?title=TES4Edit_Cleaning_Guide

Thank you again for your feedback. I've already went ahead and put TES4Edit to use. Happy modding then.
