DuckersMcQuack Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) How do i use multiple mods if the second mod i want to add conflicts with already existing mod files from another mod? Edited March 2, 2015 by blockbuster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vortaka Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Should be easy... See, most file you can mod currently are only text (let's say .scr file for exemple). The best way, is to use a text compare program, see what was changed from the original and change it in the 2nd mod file, so that the 2nd mod file will have every change that was in the 1st... Hope this helps... I can tell you that it works, having done it a lot of times already... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vortaka Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 Use a software that shows you exactly what was changed... If mods are in pak files, extract them with 7zip... Let's use mod1 and mod2 for example... mod1 is the main one, mod2 is the one you want to "graft" to mod1...Use a compare software, like kdiff3, Beyond Compare or free like Winmerge (I'm using Beyond Compare so I do not know much about the other except that they exist!) So, you just compare the text files, it will divided in two sections, left and right... Let's say "inventory_gen.scr" (big file) from mod1 (left) and mod2 (right). And you just "merge" what from want YOU want from mod2 into mod1... With those softwares, it's quite easy since they denote in red what is different and let you merge parts of the mod (usually with arrows (a right arrow to more the thing left to right and the other way around). There are even rules you can follow to check differences but that's another story! Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
