Transfering references between plugins

Post » Sat Jun 30, 2012 8:27 pm

I've made some extensive changes to the TR_Data.esp. These changes are on an .esp called TR_tweaks.esp which is dependent on
TR_map1.esm
TR_map2.esm
and the
TR_Data.esp

With the new TR release I would like to integrate the changes in TR_tweaks so they work with the new TR_mainland.esm and TR_Data.esm.
I've searched for a way of exporting the references from my plugin but been unable to find one.

Anyone who can point me in the right direction?`If it is even possible that is? What happened to the export import function in TES? Have never been able to get it to work. Is it initally broken?

Any help would be very thankful.

Cheers

Whenever a mod is saved from the CS, its references are renumbered from scratch. So a single changed reference in master can in theory cause problems to a dependant .esp.
What I'd try first is this: open Mash,
1. ensure mods are properly dated (e.g. set mod timestamps/load order like this)
TR_Data.esm
TR_Map1.esm
TR_Map2.esm
TR_Mainland.esm
TR_tweaks.esp

2. right click TR_Mainland.esm, Updaters..., add to the updaters list both TR_Map1.esm and TR_Map2.esm
3. click TR_tweaks.esp, in the File column to the right change the master like this:
- replace (change to...) TR_Map1.esm with TR_Mainland.esm
- untick TR_Map2.esm
hit save
If you are (very) lucky, Mash (in theory) should be able to remap most references and you should not lose much of your changes
What happened to the export import function in TES?
still there
Have never been able to get it to work. Is it initally broken?
No, it is for object definitions(e.g. web site), not references (e.g. link to web site).
