Question concerning .esp files


Soveilion

Recommended Posts

Hello :D

 

Soveilion here... I have a rather odd request, so to speak:

If you say have a "mod.esp" file- ONLY the .esp file and nothing else, would you somehow be able to "go into" this file and check that this file "requires" or "uses" the following files, eg:

Data files\Meshes\abc\sumfile1.nif

Data files\Meshes\abc\sumfile2.nif

Data files\Meshes\abc\sumfile3.nif

Data files\Textures\abc\sumotherfile.tga

 

The reason I am asking is because I have archived more than 9gig's worth of old morrowind mods. Imagine this were archived way before the days of NMM so they aren't exactly a ton of zip files... Quite the opposite it's literally a big clusterf*#@ containing a "\Data Files" folder which every mod were extracted into and then made into a large zip archive (meaning theres probably more than 9gb+ worth of old mods there.

 

Now onto my main point, in this archive among other files is: some weapon mods, Quarl's hot girls III,, Quarl's Tattoed Girl's and The Underground 2" save for a lot of other snacks that seem to be vacant, at least from this site (and since Planetelderscrolls seems dead, well).

 

So heres my problem... I have (zipped) 9gb worth of files, meaning going through every single one of them, isn't neceseraly something I want to start on before i have checked other options. So i thought to myself this: "If i could somehow (in theory) say pull out "Quarl's hot girls III.esp"" load it in TES:CS and see that you (I) will need to pull out:

Data files\Meshes\abc\sumfile1.nif

Data files\Mesh....................

and you are done" that would be very... PRACTICAL to say the very least ^^

 

tl:dr

Can you, just with a .esp file see every single mesh/text/ico/.... that certain mod uses

____

Edit

After some "fishing" around in the chatbox and whatnot i have managed to gather that i will at least be needing "Nifscope" to scope out the ico.dds files from all the meshes, shall i want to find those, now main problem still stands of finding out how to find which mesh and which texture goes to which mod :tongue:

I have now managed to get my hands on "Morrowind Enchanted Editor" now my question really is this: is ALL the files listed here files that are custom? If not then how can i see the difference between a custom and non custom file?

Also is there a "quick" way to export this list of files to a say .txt file?

Mentalelf's TESFiles

and

Shanjaq's Overunity

 

They aren't foolproof, they're probably worth running together on each particular mod (some people have reported TESFiles missing something, others reported Overunity missing some). Using them both and you've the best chance of gathering all an ESP / ESM's required resources.

 

And please (if you have the time) upload anything you find to Morrowind Modding History which isn't readily available elsewhere. Bit of a big ask I know but with a large number of Morrowind mod hosting sites offline your kind of collection could be the only chance to get some lost mods back into circulation.

Some of my findings so far! Far from done but I have prioraticed those I used a lot
myself.

I have no qualms uploading any of this, but would be nice to get a helping hand at
sorting what you have and not.

I have used RED for those I'm pretty sure
already exists, haven't really gone through em though.

Oh btw regarding notes such as authors... I have literally a crapton of simply readme1, readme2, readme3 and so on.. the ones named are the easiest to find i guess... If you ask I can probably manage to find a certain readme if you would say like to know the author or X about modX.

The first batch, save for the ones thats most likely here already will be GREEN!

Second Batch will be colored Teal!

Third batch will be PINK!

Sorry for the long wait, quiet a few things ended up taking WAY longer than expected,
as briefly pointed out in some annotations.
This is as complete as the list will ever get I guess, took roughly 30 hours of
playing the waiting game and clicking on folder's so it were extremely non-rewarding
to say the least. :tongue:
Also a question, does overunity actually require you to drag an drop EVERY single .esp file
onto its interface? a quick "how to deal with excesively large folders" tutorial would be nice.
Anywhom on to main points:
  • Some mods are probably either duplicates, or simply the same "kind" of mod but by 2 different authors...

Considering that it took me more than 5 hours (mostly) getting through

the letter "A" only to find out that duplicates span the alphabet (as noted with Angeals
Sword) I really don't have the time (at least for now) to go through every single one
of em.
  • Next on the list is that a lot of times I feel that there may be situations where one
mod has several .esp's (tesfiles does not like it when this happens AT ALL!).
  • Thirdly I know that a lot of times there are compilations of mods, which in turn mean I have
"non visible" duplicates... A quick example here, though not explicitly noted in the list is
"Quarl's Gothic Attire"+"Quarl's Gothic Attire II"+all clothing resources for females from
the underground 1 and 2 literally translates to "Gothic Attire Complete" which
kinda latches on to the final point.
  • Requirements, dependencies, find a favourite word for it but it's all the same,
many readme files (because of how old they are) will technically be obsolete.
I am gonna go back to my example of Qarl's Gothic Attire, simply because of how much
problems I had myself, back in the days when The Underground still had a few majour
bugs... It were a utter mess to find which file you were missing, and which version of
which mod had the right file-- but small rantings aside TU1 and TU2 should work fine
with simply "Gothic Attire Complete" if my memory serves me right, despite the readme
listing other dependencies.
There were also some minor things, such as me planning to do the list alphabetically, and
with "main" mod on top, with likely "part of" mods superseding them with a little note for
most esp files. I shortly after realised that tesfiles makes the folders come in a completely
different order, so I discreetly threw away this plan.
Lastly (as also stated earlier) I would REALLY like some help going through MMH to sort
out what is, and what isn't worth keeping, I KNOW Labria isn't there, (but have no idea about
author right's and so on) but at least atm I kinda want a break from "planning" to play the game
and actually play the goddarn game :tongue:
And oh, sorry if double posting is a nono, decided I'd rather do that than start a new topic.
tl:dr

* Took a fortnight

* No motivation left
* Only used tesfiles so far
* Is duplicates
* Is mod files divided
* Is not perfectly ordered
* Is old files
* Not merged yet
* Actually want to play the game
* Will need help regarding MMH
