SSE Question, How To Purge Unused Scripts From My Mod.

[RadoGamer]

Hello Folks, I'm in the process of packaging up a very large mod. When I created the archive list to put things together I noticed the ESP still sees scripts I replaced with ones of my own that would not conflict with existing ones from other mods. My question since I'm no longer using them is how to purge them? I tried doing it in the CK some of the instances showed the original scripts gone but a few of them show the script in red and deleted.

 

Before I start mucking around , I figured that i should go in to SSE-Edit and delete them that way, I just wanted to get some opinions before I do anything.

 

Thanks

Open the mod in the CK

Open every record that had attached scripts

If a script is attached that should not be, remove it.

If a script is attached but shows as deleted, remove it.

Open the property window on any attached scripts that should be there and then close it. -- This ensures that the record contains only the properties needed and removes any that were deleted from the script.

Hi Ishara, first thanks for responding, I actually just got through doing this, I found an instance with one of the old scripts still in use, when I removed it and changed to the new script, the other instances that showed in red in all the other objects were gone, I also removed the effect and spell used in another script that I no longer am using and saved.

 

I then came back in and ran the Archive list again and the old scripts still show up along with the new ones. The old scripts them selves are being used in other mods in my game, since I know I'm not using them in this particular mod is it safe to assume I can just ignore them and add the existing scripts in use to the archive.

 

Once again thanks for your help.
