LE How do you mod assets added by another esp?

[Offtherails]

This is driving me mad, and I can't seem to find a solution anywhere.

 

I'm working on a mod called Spectacular Night Eye (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/22274/) - a set of alternative screen effects for people who don't like the default (pretty much everybody, right?). I've been trying to get it to work alongside Predator Vision (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/22274/) with no joy whatsoever - my effects just don't show up in game.

 

Predator Vision's nighteye effect is an imagespace modifier called HuntersNightVisionImod. If my esp contains an imod called HuntersNightVisionImod, it never gets used by the game - Predator Vision's scripts activate the imod contained within predatorvision.esp. The only way I've been able to get it to work has been to edit predatorvision.esp directly. That works fine, but I can hardly upload an altered version of Gopher's mod.

 

So I guess I'm asking how people get round this problem. Is there some trick that I'm yet to learn in my journey towards modding nirvana?

Two solutions

 

#1

If you need to reference a form from another mod you can use GetFormFromFile. It will error if the file is not found so be sure to incorporate some of the checks outlined in the description before processing.

 

#2

If you need the other mod to take your changes, read the specific linked tutorial subsection, anything else on the page is irrelevant to your needs.
