Since this is a landscape patch, it's probably best not to clean it unless you're sure those dirty edits aren't intentional.

Hello,

Don't know if that has been already reported: according to BOSS Echo_ChapelChant.esp (CRC 1463180E) needs cleaning (2 ITM), but TES4Edit
doesn't find neither ITM nor UDR. The CRC in the masterlist is the same as calculated with Wrye Bash.

Actually don't clean it at all, since it's one of ours. Loading it by itself into TES4Edit will give you a false reading.

AFK_Weye.esp needs to have the Actors.AIPackages tag added to it. This mod adds AI packs to a few of the stock NPCs which will get lost without this tag if other mods (like FCOM) import AI packages for the same NPCs.

I seem to recall reporting this a while ago, but I don't think it ever made it onto the master list. Thanks.

BOSS v2.0 Released!

Grab it from the usual places. Auto-updater/log messages to be updated shortly.

Note that the install of v2.0 has changed if you're using BOSS with more than one game - you now only need a single install for all games (though you'll need separate copies of BOSS for any copies of those games - if that's confusing I've explained it better in the readme).

Changelog:

Removed: BOSS Updater for manual installs. When an update is checked for and found on a manual install, BOSS will notify the user of the update and its download locations, but not download or install the update itself. Behaviour on installer installs is unchanged.
Removed: iRunType ini setting, as it was unnecessary.
Fixed: GUI mixing up Nehrim and Fallout: New Vegas in the Game drop-down box.
Fixed: Masterlist parser getting confused when a plugin filename shared starting characters with a keyword.
Fixed: Invalid regular expressions in masterlist-format files causing crashes.
Fixed: Plugins with filenames containing international characters causing the GUI's User Rules Editor to fail to load.
Fixed: Masterlist-format files beginning with blank lines will no longer create an initial empty item in their data structures.
Fixed: The tooltip intended for the new messages text box was attached to the masterlist mod messages box in the User Rules Editor.
Fixed: The masterlist displayed GUI's User Rules Editor was unevaluated for conditionals and regex entries.
Fixed: Saving a masterlist-format file no longer omits its conditionals. This bug was never exposed.
Fixed: Conditional parsing errors not being reported correctly in the BOSS Log. This bug was never exposed.
Fixed: Messages being outputted in the format set globally instead of the outputters local format. This bug was never exposed.
Fixed: Version number comparisons being sometimes evaluated wrongly for versions of the form a.b.c.d where a, b, c and d were integers. This bug was never exposed.
Changed: This utility's name has been changed from Better Oblivion Sorting Software to BOSS.
Changed: Tidied up code, making better use of class inheritance and swapping Boost filesystem paths for strings in plugin names.
Changed: Updated libcurl from 7.23.1 to 7.25.0, wxWidgets from 2.9.2 to 2.9.3, and Boost from 1.48.0 to 1.49.0.
Changed: GUI's User Rules Editor is now resizeable and the Installed Mods and Masterlist lists are now tabbed to give them more space.
Changed: The GUI now uses the User Rules Editor to edit the userlist by default.
Changed: Only a single instance of the GUI is now allowed to run at any one time.
Changed: BOSS no longer quits with an error message without sorting plugins when both Nehrim.esm and Oblivion.esm are present in the same Data folder, as this arrangement may be valid for modders porting mods, so long as Oblivion.esm remains inactive when Nehrim is run.
Changed: BOSS update release notes are now displayed before the update download confirmation.
Changed: Pretty pictures now in the main readme! Also updated content to reflect various changes and additions.
Changed: Rewrote NSIS installer to reflect various changes and additions, and simplified the installer code greatly.
Changed: You can no longer sort non-master plugins before master plugins, or master plugins after non-master plugins, using user rules. Masters are commonly .ESM files, and non-master plugins are commonly .ESP files, but whether a plugin is a master or not is actually decided by a variable in the file, not the file extension. (An example of this in action would be Wrye *ash's ESMify Self function, which makes a plugin into a master without changing the file extension.)
Changed: BOSS now enforces the game's masters before plugins rule for load ordering when reading the current load order and sorting plugins.
Added: Support for multiple games from a single BOSS install:
- BOSS now has two different install types: local installs place the BOSS folder beside a game's Data folder. Non-local installs place the BOSS folder anywhere else. Local installs will always run for the local game by default. Non-local installs will look for supported games and prompt the user to choose one to run for each time BOSS is run. If only one game is found, BOSS will run for it without user prompt.
- BOSS game files (masterlist, BOSS Log, etc.) are now stored in separate sub-folders within the BOSS folder for each game to avoid conflict.
- The --game,-g [ game ] command line parameter and corresponding ini and GUI settings now behaves slightly differently: when BOSS is run with the game not set to autodetect, and it is not set to only update the masterlist, the game parameter specifies the default game to run for. If the default cannot be found, BOSS falls back to autodetection.
- The GUI now prompts the user to choose which game it should run for on startup. Games that are not detected are selectable, but will only allow their masterlists to be updated.
- The Game drop-down list in the GUI has been moved to the Settings window.
- An Active Game menu has been added to the GUI that allows you to change which game BOSS is currently active for without closing the GUI. Undetected games are greyed out, unless the Update Masterlist Only run option is selected. If you have an undetected game active and switch from Update Masterlist Only to another run option, the BOSS automatically switches to the first detected game in the list.
Added: BOSS API for use by third party utilities to access BOSS information and functionality. See BOSS API ReadMe for details.
Added: BOSS can now read the plugins.txt file that the supported games use to store their active plugin list in. BOSS also adapts to the value of the bUseMyGamesDirectory setting in Oblivion.ini when running for Oblivion.
Added: An Active label to the BOSS Log for plugins that are active when BOSS is run, and Hide Inactive Mods and Hide 'Active' Label BOSS Log filters.
Added: Support for the load order mechanism used by TES V: Skyrim version 1.4.26+. This outputs load order of active plugins to plugins.txt, and outputs the full load order to loadorder.txt, which is created in the same directory as plugins.txt.
Added: BOSS now checks for false-flagged plugins and moves any found to the correct side of the master/non-master partition. False-flagged plugins are those with an extension that does not match the state of the plugin's internal master bit flag.

EDIT: And even worse, after uninstalling version 2.0 and reinstalling 1.9.1, this no longer works when called from Bash/Smash. It does work when called standalone, though.

EDIT 2: OK, now I've got version 2.0 working. Panic over. The problem appears to have been caused by installing BOSS in its default directory (C:\BOSS) when Oblivion & Skyrim are on drive D:. I manually installed version 2.0 over the top of 1.9.1, in the Oblivion and Skyrim directories, and it now works. Well, it works standalone, at least. Still doesn't work when called from within Bash, but that may need updating to handle the new BOSS.

EDIT 3: OK, spoke too soon. Version 2.0 runs once successfully for Oblivion, then crashes on subsequent runs. Works fine for Skyrim, though.

I have one further issue with 2.0, but I'll take it to the Skyrim thread.

Eloise

Partially replied to this on the Skyrim thread, but regarding your edits:

1. Have you been talking to Dubiousness?

He's the only other one I know that gets the crash issue, and I can't reproduce it. Anyway, what 2.0 fails at shouldn't affect 1.9.1. It should be impossible, unless something funny is happening with your memory cache. I'm not going to try troubleshooting Windows though.

2. As I said in the Skyrim thread, try running the default non-local install as an Admin to see if that stops it crashing.

3. Again, try running as Admin to see if that helps. Otherwise, try deleting all the files BOSS generates one by one until you find which one is causing the crash on subsequent runs. So start with the BOSS.ini, then continue with all the files in the game subfolders except the masterlist and userlist.

2. As I said in the Skyrim thread, try running the default non-local install as an Admin to see if that stops it crashing.

OK, so I installed BOSS 2.0 to its default location, and set both BOSS and BOSS GUI to run as administrator. That fixed the crashing when I run it for Skyrim. For Oblivion, I now get "An unhandled exception occurred." with Abort/Retry/Ignore options. Abort terminates BOSS with a "Caught unhandled exception" message. Retry just terminates it with no further messages or processing. Ignore causes it to hang and I have to kill it with the Task Manager.

Can you set the verbosity and debug logging settings in the BOSS.ini to 3 and true respectively, then post the contents of your BOSSDebugLog.txt? You might have to upload it somewhere instead, it can get pretty big.
