I really like seeing good suggestions like this. I kept rewording my response to be as respectful as I could. Yeah but see you are both making good points and I respect both of them.
Replacing a master with a new one may not change the order of the masters but could invalidate what the author intended the override to do. Proper overrides are assigned to the specific master in the order in which the masters appear. But the plugin might depend on the winner being the one indicated by the order in which it references the masters." both are overriding a record from the main game master file), then loading them in a different order will result in a different version of the overridden record being the “winner”. "If a plugin has two masters that are siblings (one doesn’t have the other as a master, so they can load in either order) and they are overriding the same record from an earlier master (e.g. When you replace the original master with a new one, depending on the changes, you could create an unresolved reference.Īs far as overrides go I usually quote Elminster. I also discourage this because of how the FormID prefixes are assigned to the masters. In this case, you'd still have to reload 圎dit because I don't think 圎dit has the ability to hot reload a new set of plugins without exiting, but you'd cut down the number of 圎dit restarts by at least one, and that's more convenient than the current process.
This option could be as simple as loading the plugin with the missing master anyway, instead of throwing a fatal error, while disabling the ability to edit any part of any plugin except the file header of the plugin with the missing master. This process could be made much smoother, faster, and more intuitive if 圎dit, instead of simply disabling editing, would also provide the user the option of changing the missing master to an existing one. Of course, this also involves a file name change, which of course means that any patch plugins will have to be updated to the new master file.Ĭurrently, you have to load both the merged plugin and the original modular plugins, in addition to the patch plugins, and then edit the master name in the patch plugin headers.
Instead of disabling editing when loading a plugin that has a master that can't be loaded, can 圎dit instead, or in addition, provide an option to change that master to another one?īack when I was modding Skyrim, and especially now with the explosion of modular installs for Fallout 4, I find that I'm having to constantly merge plugins.
