Need some instructions................

 

how do I fix a REFR reference, in expected: PACK in FNVedit?

[davidlallen]

Please explain more about your problem, maybe with a screenshot.

I ran a merged patch through FNVedit and at the end of my update list this was at the bottom; found a REFR reference, in expected: PACK , I don't know what to send you as far as a screenshot. I want to know how to identify where or in which mod its in, and how to fix it. I could send the exception on it, or post my load order.............but I haven't had this come up before. It started shortly after I blueprinted a lantern from active wasteland and placed it in a building and tried to turn it on. It just disappeared and now I can't go back in the building. I don't know if that's what it is. I deactivated active wasteland and its still there. I can still make a merge patch and the game runs fine, I just can't go in that building without a CTD.

 

Also thanks for making those quest mods man, very cool.

Can you put that in context.

Edit: sorry, I should do a page refresh before posting.

 

I'm guessing that there's nothing actually wrong with your package.

FNV file formats change sometimes with a patch, and FNVEdit will flag those as errors until it is updated to recognize them.

 

Edit2: a PACK record is an AI package, so from the sound of it, it has nothing to do with the lantern you edited.

Found a REFR reference, expected: PACK

 

 

My question really is what is it?

[tunaisafish]

when you load FNVEdit with those mods, do any of them give errors?

If so, remove them while making an automatic merged patch.

You can put them back after and manually update your merge file if needed.

 

My guess, Willow. (This does not mean that the Willow mod is broken)

Edit: Changing my guess to an outdated mod :)

5 PACK's were changed to REFR records in the last patch.

Scroll through the 'messages' panel when FNVEdit loads to see if a REFR record is overwriting a PACK, then check for a post-1.4 mod update.
