How do I create merged patches in FNVEdit?

[GothikaGeist]

Yeah, it's very easy. It just involves a lot of mad clicking for bigger mods, or merging multiple mods. (I have a single mod with more than 4 misc. clothing mods infused in it xD)

I know this seems a little rude but i'm a total noob in the modding business, could someone look into my load order and tell me if i did something wrong ?

I can start the game and i can also load a savegame, but it doesnt stay so for even 90 seconds. I stopped it, after about 01:20 the game crashes with an error message that the exe has stopped working.

 

Here's my load order:

FalloutNV.esm

Maybe someone can even tell me how i can make a merged patch for this particular load order or at least tell me whats causing this "90-seconds-crash".

 

I also have the HiRes Texture Pack from 4Aces on moddb

should i try reinstalling without the hires-texture pack ?

Bump, in case anyone needed my old guide to merge mods in FNVEdit. I've received a couple PMs about the guide over the years, thought it was lost for good. Unfortunately I haven't modded Fallout New Vegas heavily in years, so I doubt I can assist further.

[irswat]

thank God for you GG! Lets see if this works. Do you think it will work for multiple masters?

[GothikaGeist]

I dunno, it might.

[sempertide]

Im using version 3.0.32 and when I load my mods and hit a conflict and right click i dont get any options. I have no blank space and when I try to right click in a blank area is selects the nearest mod and doesnt give the option to create3 a merge patch. On top of theta because the loader couldnt load all of the mods because of the first error (error code 2) when i try to load the game anyway is says that i am missing a master file and it crashes. WTF?

How many merged patches can I run at once?

[dubiousintent]

Have to be careful about the terminology here.

 

With a "merged plugin" file consisting of several non-conflicting plugins, the number is unlimited within the overall plugin cap of roughly 140 active plugins. See the wiki article "Merged Plugin Guidelines for Personal Use" for more guidance.

 

With a "merged patch" file, which consists of a single plugin that resolves record level conflicts among multiple plugins: only one. You can however, use Wrye Flash to create an automated "bash patch" file, and follow it with a single "override patch" file (similar to a "merge patch") which provides overrides of specific "bash patch" winners. You need to choose only one of either a "bash patch" or "merge patch" file as they serve the same purpose. A "merged patch" file shouldn't need an "override patch" file, as both are manually created to provide preferred winners.

 

Note that when merging patches for a specific master file into that master file (which requires the "merging up" technique given in the 'xEdit' manual) the result is sort of a hybrid: a "merged patch" that results in a single plugin that is non-conflicting with any other plugins and can then be used in a "merge plugin" with other non-conflicting plugins.
