Version Control Discussion Thread

[gasti89]

I managed to enable the Version Control tool and make it work following this tutorial.

 

I think it's a very powerfull resource for modding teams, it allows multiple modders to work together on things that will finish in the same esp/esm.

 

It's also a very good tool for mod cleaning, because it doesn't COPY records from esps to esm, but instead MOVES them.

 

So by excluding trash from the check out/in, you'll end up with a esm containing all your work and a esp containing just the trash.

 

Also, using VC, you don't have to keep esmifying and espifying your master (if you use any) to update it.

 

After the first merge you just have to copy your network version in the local data folder, and make the new changes/adds/updates in a brand new esp. Then merge it again and so on.

 

 

I've found it a really good tool, but if someone else has a different feedback please post here.

 

For modding teams that don't use it yet, try it guys, it's worth a try ;)
