NEED Help with TesGeckoTes4Edit For Distributing My Mod

Post » Thu Feb 27, 2014 1:26 pm

Hi there guys, some of you may remember me. It's been a while since I was on this forum. I made a mod in the past called Cyrodiil NPC's Remodeling Project or CNRP for short. You can get a link of the mod here: http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/21627/? with a few other versions such as Dark Brotherhood, Bruma, etc in my profile.

Essentially what my mod does is reclothe all of the NPCs in the game based on their jobs, personality, where they live, the climate, etc. using various mods on the Nexus that were available to use (with credit). I have let the mod sit on my hard drive for a while after working on a more recent release, but due to inactivity I've decided to delete the mod from my hard drive completely. However, I would like to release what work I HAVE done, so others can either take up the torch, or just use what's been done. There's a small chance perhaps that I'll revisit it as well, but my direction for the mod has changed drastically since I last worked on it, so I'd rather tackle that with a different mindset than the cluttered one my mod currently uses.

My method for creating the mod was to add tons of equipments from mods into one giant ESP. Then I'd hand pick the clothes from the selection, and place them on NPCs I felt they were appropriate on. When I wanted to release a "section" I'd trim out any NPCs not involved with that section, then used TESEdit to grab...reachable(?) I'm fuzzy about exactly what I used. But it'd trim out the resources I didnt use on those NPCs, keeping only the used resources. I'd then use TES4Gecko, to separate those resources into their own ESM which my mod used as a library. Finally I'd use TES4Files to neatly pull out all the needed files for use.

I remember "how I did it", but I dont know the process necessary to do it at all anymore. I tried getting it to work, but it failed. So I need some serious help from someone to distribute this mod. If anyone has any idea on how I would be able to go about doing this...please please help me out. If not, then my work will be pretty much shoved into the abyss, which I dont want to do.

I'll place links to my ESPs and ESM's here if anyone wants to take a look at it. My mod only touches on NPCs and I believe adds one script to tail equip items to force them to equip, but that's it. Here's the link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1kf5u2cdnk74ixy/CNRP%20Esp%20Need%20Help.zip

So just reiterating, I need to trim out all unused resources that NPCs dont use, from Cyrodiil NPC Remodeling Project.esm and from CNRP.esp so that I can release it. If anyone helps, can they also explain how to do it for future reference?

Please help! Thanks in advance!
