Vortex ESL Question

[ezpkns34]

So, seems I'm getting close to the 255 limit, but trying to see how close I really am

 

Read that plugins with an FE(xxx) listing for Mod Order are the ESLs that don't count toward the 255 and I assume the disabled plugins don't count toward that limit either?

 

Assuming that's true, any way to see how close I actually am to the 255? Or should we just count our total plugins & subtract the marked ESLs &/or Disabled ones?

You are limited to one byte for mod index, so I don't see why the Plugin column Mod Index would not show you.

Just sort by index and scroll to the bottom.

You will also see disabled plugins don't get an index.

Here's what I do to determine how much ESP/ESM space I have.

 

I currently have a count of 274, HOWEVER, a lot of them are ESLs, or ESL flagged ESPs.

 

In the PLUGINS tab, in the FLAGS column, I click and pick "LIGHT so it only shows ESLs, and ESL flagged ESPS.

(Be sure to turn OFF the filter when you're done)

 

This will tell me two things

 

1. Shows how to set the filter, note that the list now only shows ESLs, and ESL flagged ESPs.

2. Check out number 2, it says "Showing 31 of 272 mods" now I can subtract 31 from the amount of mods Vortex says I have installed, in order to get how many more ESM/ESP spaces I have left, and according to vortex, 272-31 = 241, and 255 - 241= 14, but take away one extra, because your load order needs that last 255th space empty

So I have 13 ESP/ESM spaces left

Thanks so much, knew there had to be some way to see it

The Vortex 0.18.x test-branch displays the number of active esm/esp + active esl-flagged plugins.

 

Any plugins that can be marked ESL will show-up in the flags-column and if you open-up the extra dialogue on the right (double-click a plugin to open) you can convert such plugins to ESL-format (or back to normal plugin). How good/bad this functionality is I'm not sure.

Current build of Wrye shows this info as well.
