esfewsf Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Hi folks, I'm part of a team which wants to make a Skyrim mod like Wyrmstooth or Falskaar and we've run into a problem.How should we manage the .esp files? Should everybody make their own file and then merge them together when we're done or work with only one .esp but then only one person can work on it at a time?And if it is better to work with separate esp's how can we merge them the easiest way? I hope someone can help us here have a beautyfull day esfewsf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArronDominion Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I recommend for a large project with multiple team members to implement a version control to keep track of who makes what change (added/deleted/etc). I haven't used VCs for Skyrim, so cannot be more helpful than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esfewsf Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 Look's interesting, i'll try it out. Thank you very much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattiewagg Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Beyond Skyrim is doing VC and it works quite well. We use it with GitExtensions. Hard to set up though - go to Dark Creations and ask around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esfewsf Posted May 6, 2015 Author Share Posted May 6, 2015 @Matthiaswagg thank you for the reply but i have a question:Does GitExtensions support 3 or more masters in the merging process? We are using Skyrim.esm, Update.esm, Dragonborn.esm would it be possible to manage our file with all the masters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zilav Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Only 2 masters are supported by VC.Remove Update.esm, you never need it as a master for new worldspace mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esfewsf Posted May 12, 2015 Author Share Posted May 12, 2015 @zilav thanks,the only 2 masters problem was the reason why i asked about GitExtension. But is it really save to remove the update.esm and then use VC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArronDominion Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 If Git gives you issues, not sure how subversion (most likely utilizing TortoiseSVN) or other VCs would work in this case or if they would provide different control over the project.

Mattiewagg Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 We're using 4 masters, don't know why it wouldn't work for you. That said, I'm not the person doing the merging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
