Compatibility Patch Request Page

This is a place for users to request compatibility-patches for mods and a place for modders in need of a distraction from their current projects or in search for easy-ish work.

This page originates from the patch-request-page mhahn123 created some time ago and closed again due to time limitations. This page is it's successor and is tied to the One Stop Patch Shop (OSPS).

This means each patch created because of a request started here will either be hosted on the OSPS-page directly or be linked there to make it easier for you to find most patches available to the community.

This start post will be updated regularly with lists that sum up the requested files, the WIP files and the created patches including the link(s) to those files.

But there are some conditions, both people who are requesting patches and patch authors have to match.

For the requests:

1. When you post a compatibility-patch request please make sure you have searched for it on the Nexus, looked up the requested files section, the One Stop Patch Shop and the Unique Landscape descriptions, maybe your file is already listed there.
   
2. Make sure you are using the latest versions of the conflicting mods.
   
3. Have you tried swapping the load order of the conflicting mods? Loading mod b before mod a instead of loading a before b often can resolve your problems without a patch.
   
4. Also use the provided form to request patch-files
   It makes life for those who want to create the patches way easier, as they do not have top spend an unnecessary amount of time figuring out which problems using mod a and mod b together actually caused when you, who are requesting said patch, already stumbled over in your game. Which of course will speed up the creating process a lot.
   
5. Patch suggestions not following the posted guideline will NOT be worked on. Apart from this there can be reasons your requested patch is not going to happen, namely the author not giving permission or a conflict is way too heavy for a simple patch and rather would need a rework of one of the two mods. Though as this won't happen to often we'll let you know.

Empty blueprint for you to copy and fill:

(1) Patch request for [Mod name, filename, version]:

(2) Your load order of the mods you are requesting a patch for [Do NOT post your entire load order here, only the load order of the to-be-patched files matters]:

(3) Describe the general issues you experienced here:

Please always be clear and precise, this saves us a lot of time searching the problems, which we instead can use fixing them.

(3a) If it's a cosmetic landscape problem, describe it (e.g.: Objects stuck into each other, NPCs are falling from the sky, cell borders are ripped,...) and, if possible, provide a screen-shot [Use a clear (open console and use the "fw 38eee" command, turn of ENB or heavy OBGE effects) screen-shot captured during daytime, use spoilers or a link to post]

If you know how to find cell grid info or form-ID-numbers, please provide them:

(3b) If it's a quest that broke, please provide the quest's name, involved NPCs and the last journal entry you received. If you know how to find quest IDs and stages please provide them:

(3c) If it's armour/weapon stats that are messed up, name the items in question. If you know how to find item IDs please provide them:

(4) Additional annotations which won't fit in one of the afore mentioned categories:

A quick example of how a filled out form could look like:

(1) Patch request for [Mod name, filename, version]:

CoolModA, mod_a.esp, V1.3b

AnotherFancyModNamedB, strange_name_of_mod_b_esp_file.esp, V1.0

(2) Your load order of the mods you are requesting a patch for [Do NOT post your entire load order here, only the load order of the to-be-patched files matters]:

strange_name_of_mod_b_esp_file.esp

mod_a.esp

I experience landscape tears in the area near Whatever Cave where the two mods meet and there are two houses stuck into each other north of that tear.

Or: There is a NPC running in circles instead of leading me to a certain place near Fort Some-cool-name

(3b) If it's a quest that broke, please provide the quest's name, involved NPCs and the last journal entry you received. If you know how to find quest IDs and stages please provide them:

I should go and meet the NPC Random Guy in A-certain-place I got there and nobody waits for me instead there is a huge castle blocking my way.

The quest is called "Random in danger" and the journal tells me: "I should hurry and find Random. A-certain-place was where we wanted to meet. From there on I should continue my search north"

(3c) If it's armour/weapon stats that are messed up: name the items in question:

For rescuing Random I received a full armour set (helmet, chest, gauntlets, boots and shield) called "Random's Really Powerful Armor" but it's stats are even weaker than leather gear and as heavy as Daedric armour

For those who want to patch the files:

1. Out of common courtesy, no patch gets uploaded to OSPS unless the original mod author(s) permission(s) has/have been given, meaning that authors of all mods the patch addresses have consented to having a patch uploaded, or at the very least a good faith effort has been made to contact them for permission.
   
2. Also proper crediting the original file(s) in your readme is necessary.
   
3. Still, you - the file author - can decide if you want to upload the patch directly to the OSPS or you want to host it on your own page and (hopefully) provide a link to be included on the OSPS-description.
   If it's a patch that got something to do with Unique Landscapes you probably want to contact Vorians or mhahn123 to add/list the patches there as well. If it's a patch that involves Better Cities message me (KadVenku) before you claim said patch, as probably Vorians and the BC Team are alredy taking care of this and I'm going to sort this out for you.
   
4. When you want to patch a certain file, contact me (KadVenku), so this page can be updated accordingly and that patch can be marked as WIP.
   
5. Please think twice before you claim a file, if you claim it you really should finish it in a manner that the conflict is resolved and you didn't break anything else.
