Can't save as light master

[kitcat81]

'The active file currently contains at least 1 ID above the maximum value.Compact ID and try again....'

 

I'm not sure what it wants from me..I got the idea the ID is above some allowed value...But I don;t know how to 'compact' the ID. I did not find any button to manually assign another ID. Can anybody help me please and give some hints?

Hay Kitcat hope all's well other then this.

 

.esl's can only contain 2,048 forms, mods that have more then that cannot be converted to the .esl format.

 

to "compact" the IDs in the ckit,

• go to File/Compact Active File IDs
• Then File/Convert Active File to Light Master
• Save (this saves the form IDs in your .esp to match your .esl)

This will save an .esl version in your data folder along side the active .esp

 

For more information on .esl's

 

Hope this helps

Hey Chuck , nice to see you, thank you! Things are all right, had a long break in modding and now trying to remember things. Thank you very much for the detailed answer, will try this tonight. Hope you and Yakalard are both doing well too.

Edit: everything worked and now I know how to make the .esl version! Thank you again :)
