Blackjack armors download issues

[Deathlessfree]

ive tried to download The Blackjack pack and i keep running into an issue. the download says i need the caravan mercenary tribal and classic packs. ive talked to the mod author and he said that these packs are not required. so ive been wondering if there was a way to fix this.

Open the mod and all of it's plugins in FNVEdit. Select each plugin, <right-click> with your mouse and select "Sort Masters" first (which puts them into your "load order" sequence as interpreted by FNVEdit), and then "Clean Masters" (which will remove any "masters" that are not actually required). After you have done that for all the plugins, go back through them and examine the "File Header" of each plugin. If any of the "Pre-Order Pack" DLCs remain, then they are referenced by that BlackJack pack plugin and the only way to "clean them" is to remove the BJ records that reference them for the BJ plugin.

 

Don't attempt to remove a "master" in any other way than letting "Clean Masters" do so or it will corrupt the plugin.

 

Once you have finished those checks, be sure to save all the changed plugins using the same names. (Just make sure they are selected/checked when you exit.) The save files will replace the old ones in the "Data" folder but have the current date/time stamp so you will need to re-order to your "load order" sequence.

 

Edit: As always when making changes to mods, ensure you have a backup copy in case you need to start over.

It's not finding the "ClassicPack.ESM" DLC file. If you don't have that plugin, might try getting the author to cleanup their own mistakes.

 

I haven't attempted this myself, but you might try to workaround the problem with a fake "ClassicPack.esm" file by creating or copying an ESP file, opening it in FNVEdit and in the "File Header", enable (check) the "ESM" flag. You would also want to change the filename in that same section before saving. Then rename the saved file itself (using Windows Explorer) to "ClassicPack.esm". The resulting file won't actually work for you but, hopefully will load so you can remove it as a "master" from the "BlackJack" plugin. Don't forget to remove the fake file when done.
