Vortex and The Witcher 3 Script Errors

[thefuggernaut]

I used to have NMM and the game ran without so much as a hitch. Vortex apparently has taken over and broken everything :D

My game is installed in my Steam folder on my D drive, and it seems the mod folder is installed on my C drive.

I'm getting back into the game and wanted to throw a few mods in, which are all currently installed:
Better Combat Evolved
Fast Travel from Anywhere
Increased Creature Loot
modMap Quest Objectives

When I go to run the game, I get a laundry list of issues:

Error [modmapquestobjectives]wmkmapmenu.ws(81): 'ALL_QUEST_OBJECTIVES_ON_MAP___ANOTHER_MOD_CHANGES_MAPMENU_WS_FILE___USE_SCRIPT_MERGER_TO_DETECT_AND_FIX_THE_CONFLICT' is not a member of '&handle:CR4MapMenu'

I'm totally at a loss on any of the above.

Any ideas on how to get this running?

Are you using script merger? https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/484/

[BigBizkit]

I think your issue is this:

 

1. You do need to merge your scripts like Zanderat was saying, however...

2. It sounds like your mod staging folder is not on the same partition as your game's mods folder

3. That makes it so you cannot use hardlink deployment (which is the recommended deployment method for Witcher 3), which makes me believe that you are using symlink deployment

4. ...and the problem with that is, that the script merger does not work with symlinks

 

So, to fix this, you need to go to your settings > Mods and set the staging folder to be on the same partition as the game (or rather the game's mods folder). Then, below you can enable "Hardlink Deployment".

 

And then the script merger will be able to actually merge your scripts.

[HadToRegister]

I can guarantee that you're using the SYMLINK option for your mods.

The Script Merger will not work on Symlinks, it needs the actual physical files, otherwise, Script Merger LOOKS like it's merging the Scripts, but when you run the game, you get errors like the ones you posted.

Change your Mod Deployment Method to MOVE DEPLOYMENT, and your scripts will merge properly.

I had the same experience as I had this happen as well.

 

oops, that was all covered in BigBizkit's post...
