Removing a master that you did actually reference

[Quetzlsacatanango]

So I was working on a mod and I must have loaded a master file I didn't intend to, and then proceeded to actually use something from it (probably placed a static).

Clean Masters won't work, because I did actually use it.

How do I find out what I used from this master file so I can remove it and then safely clean masters/manually remove the esm?

None of the filters in fnvedit seem to do this, but it seems like it would be easy enough if one knows the right buttons to press.

Thanks

I don't know of a direct way, which sucks ;)

But maybe an indirect kludge way will work. Make an empty plugin with the Geck, as the same name of the master you want to remove. Adjust your load order to make sure the blank master loads in the same order as listed in your plugin. Then load your mod up with FNVEdit. Then apply the filter 'By Injection status', and 'Only Injected' - this will catch overrides on the unwanted master. To find references from it, remove the filter and do a 'check for errors' and note all the form Id's that show <Error: Could not be resolved>

Reload with the original master and fix all the formids you made a note of.

Unless you have compiled it in a script or something you could expand all of the trees and eyeball for the load order ID of the mistaken master. Even with a couple thousand records it should not take too long.

It was a DLC so it added all kinds of things like dialogs, navmesh infos, etc, so In the end I just reverted to an earlier version that didn't have the problem. There was not much changed. It would be nice if there was an active 'clean masters' option that could strip out references to unwanted esms.
