Shibalshiro Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Hi, first of all I'm an absolute amateur at modding.I just experimented a bit with the CK when it came out. Was trying to make a spell, a light spell to be more specific, and tried out different light sources/colours etc. I edited their forms and I edited many of them in many ways until I found the right one. But what I didn't seem to know is, that it somehow changes other users of that light, too. So it seems I somehow made changes to the "Master File" Skyrim.esm I guess. Any way to revert this? Cause I get some nasty lighting bugs like pulsating fire places, other sources not casting anymore shadows... Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamemaster676 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Speaking on top of my head right now, but somewhere in your spell it points to the lighting effect. You probably edited the effect right away, but if you duplicate the effect first and edit the duplicate, and then point the spell to the new duplicate effect, it shouldn't mess up. It is not possible to edit the skyrim.esm as far as I know so no worries. Let me know if it works or not. Again this is just a wild guess :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosisab Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) Assuming you want to "clean" your generated ESP, for gamemast676 is right and you can't directly edit Skyrim.esm. It is "tricky" but actually not hard. when starting CK select your mod (don't need making it the active file but does not hurt) and click "Details..." That will bring another window with a list of things your mod does and what it edited, find those changes you want to eliminate, highlight them one at a time and press the "Del/Delete" key on keyboard. This will mark then with an "I" (for ignore) flag. Once you marked all for ignore, close the window, make sure your mod is Set as Active File and start CK normally. Save it again and all the ignored entries will be gone and your mod is clean. Good Luck. Edited March 1, 2012 by nosisab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
