KeCap Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I've been looking into different methods of modding and was wondering if it was possible to edit a mod file using Notepad++. I tried loading a few ESP files and get a mostly incomprehensible text. But, a lot of information comes through that is intelligible. Are there any plugins or decompilers that would make something like this possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just use the ckYeah, I know it's used for scripting. I suppose hex editing is what I am looking to do. I began to wonder if it would be possible to combine pieces from various mods by using N++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figure, and read somewhere once, that I need to renumber all the forms I want to copy into the new "compiled mod" before I copy as deep override. But, I can't seem to figure out how to renumber them in masse. I keep getting an invalid formid error. Am I doing this wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
