First time with wyre bash(what is a bashed patch?)

Post » Fri Apr 08, 2011 5:39 am

So I installed Wyre Bash as it is a recommended tool (I know the very basics of the tool) and noticed that it added a Bash Patch at the end of my load order. Should i check it? What does that do? I have looked on the internet and wyres main website and cant find a specific reference.

Ps I found the reference on wyres site but I still neeed some explanation :( (I know im dumb)

What do you mean you could not find a specific reference? There is a huge section about it in the Wyre Bash readme? Read the http://sites.google.com/site/oblivionpoinfo/utilities/wrye-bash on my site and all of the related pages. You will find the readme under "related resources" as well.

The bashed patch is a file created by Wrye Bash that helps to make all of your mods work together.

For example, say you have to mods that add new items to chests at random (on levelled lists). Normally, one mod would 'come out on top', and only its new item would appear. One function of the Bashed Patch is that it can merge these two mods' functions together, so that you could now find, say, both of the new items as opposed to only one of them.

the Bashed Patch will perform this function for other things, such as eye and hair mods. It can also tweak global settings and help you to load specific mods before others by imporitng them into the patch.

Does that help clarify things?

The pages on my site are much more brief than the readme and range from "Intro to Wrye Bash" to breaking down each section of "the bashed patch."

The first walk-through on the walk-throughs page has step-by-step instructions for BAIN (Wrye Bash's installer) installation, but toward the end it goes over using a lot of Wrye Bash's features and what not.
