Hey,

I've been getting some mods recently and a while ago I got a few errors about some spell effects being broken...

Now I notice that Barilzar's Mazed Band now lists its effect as "sEffectSummon Fabricant for x seconds" or something to that effect.

I just wanted to clarify, is this simply to do with a dirty mod, and can Wrye Mash fix it for me?

Thanks,

Certainly sounds like a GMST problem to me -- I've had the same issue before and used TESAME to clean the GMST entries out of the offending mods.

The problem is, you might not know which files need fixing if you have been adding a lot of mods. You could open all your mods one at a time in TESAME, or use WinGrep to search through your .ESPs for GMST, or perhaps some other clever solution.

Yeah, you probably have a plugin with dirty GMSTs. TESTOOL will clean those for you. Wrye Mash does not do GMST cleaning.

Would it also be possible to use tes3cmd to do a batch search for plugins containing GMSTs? I'm not yet familiar with your program but should really start learning about it.

Sure, to list all the gmsts in a bunch of plugins:

tes3cmd print -l -t gmst *.esp

Since many GMSTs are defined in .esm files, you probably won't want to add *.esm to the command line, but maybe ok to add non-Bethesda masters.

In a short while I'm putting out a new version with major UI change, and the new version syntax would be:

tes3cmd dump --list --type gmst *.esp

Thanks for the replies guys.

I don't get it - none of my plugins have any non-essential GMSTs!

Wait... I just checked Wizard's Island, and sure enough, there's the sEffectSummonFabricant, and several others (EDIT: 11 in total, which I read is bad...).

Should I just delete this / these from the master file?

Absolutely.

Very cool -- thanks for the tip =)

Awesome, thanks a lot guys
