That makes this even more confusing. I"m so sorry for causing you so much grief.

the only th ing in the map fileis each merged ESP followed by =0 what does tht mean?

Good to know, that probably has something to do with it like Greg said. So yeah not sure if there's a way to account for that.

I don't renumber formids as far as I know. I just use thep rocess that comes with Mator's tool

Can't figure out how to edit my post otherw is e I'd dpo that but 'll just post m y findings. tried renaming one of the exisit ng.string files as well as using TES5Edit to generate new ones no luck.

That seems likely I can to a veyr basic test of that Unfortunately it's not a solution just yet. If you're right, and I suspect you may be, i'd have to figure out how to create a rband new string file that merges the string files of the exisitng mods.

SKyrim. Unfortuantley I don't know anything about how it works either. but it leads to the names of items being broken. I can try and show you a screenshot if it will help.

Is there a trick to this or is it just not possible? I've been trying to merge together a few crafting mods but for ones that come with .string files once the merge is complete I keep getting names of objects, recipes, etc replaced with <No string> errors. I try copying the strings folders over to the new merge with no luck. Is there a trick to this that I"m misisng?

I'm running FNIS from Mod Orginizer.

I'm using Windows XP if htat helps and an old version of Mod Orginizer that will still ru n on it. and the exact directory that FNIS points to is C:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\Skyrim\Mod Organizer\mods\Fores New Idles in Skyrim - FNIS\tools\GenerateFNIS_for_Users\GenerateFNISforUsers.exe HOw wo uld I make sure I have them installed correctly? I checked the FNIS sub-directory under Mod Orginizer and that seems to be in order. ot her than that I'm lost. Alos I made sure to point hte FNIS install to its data directory and I've been following Gophrs install guide if that helps. For further refrence, the mod I have that uses it is Bathing in Skyrim should FNIS be prioritized beofre that or after? Oh and my version of Mod Orginizer is 1.2.18 and whenever I try to actually launch FNIS program I get an error that says "cannot rename ModOrginizer.ini if hta tmeans anything.

Yes, I just reset it just in cas3e and I got the same result.

I'm getting an error whenever I try to update FNIS behavior via Mod Orginizer and I can't figure it out. I've tried running FNIS as admin but it didn't work See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box. ************** Exception Text ************** System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): The directory name is invalid at System.Diagnostics.Process.StartWithCreateProcess(ProcessStartInfo startInfo) at System.Diagnostics.Process.Start() at GenerateFNISforUsers.GenerateFNISUsers.Main() at GenerateFNISforUsers.GenerateFNISUsers.Button1_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.OnClick(EventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.Button.OnClick(EventArgs e) at System.Windows.Forms.Button.OnMouseUp(MouseEventArgs mevent) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WmMouseUp(Message& m, MouseButtons button, Int32 clicks) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.ButtonBase.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Button.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindow.OnMessage(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.Control.ControlNativeWindow.WndProc(Message& m) at System.Windows.Forms.NativeWindow.Callback(IntPtr hWnd, Int32 msg, IntPtr wparam, IntPtr lparam) ************** Loaded Assemblies ************** mscorlib Assembly Version: 4.0.0.0 Win32 Version: 4.0.30319.1022 (RTMGDR.030319-1000) CodeBase: file:///C:/WINDOWS/Microsoft.NET/Framework/v4.0.30319/mscorlib.dll ---------------------------------------- GenerateFNISforUsers Assembly Version: 5.4.2.0 Win32 Version: 5.4.2.0 CodeBase: file:///C:/program%20files/steam/steamapps/common/Skyrim/data/tools/GenerateFNIS_for_Users/GenerateFNISforUsers.exe ---------------------------------------- Microsoft.VisualBasic Assembly Version: 10.0.0.0 Win32 Version: 10.0.30319.1 built by: RTMRel CodeBase: file:///C:/WINDOWS/Microsoft.Net/assembly/GAC_MSIL/Microsoft.VisualBasic/v4.0_10.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a/Microsoft.VisualBasic.dll ---------------------------------------- System Assembly Version: 4.0.0.0 Win32 Version: 4.0.30319.1001 built by: RTMGDR CodeBase: file:///C:/WINDOWS/Microsoft.Net/assembly/GAC_MSIL/System/v4.0_4.0.0.0__b77a5c561934e089/System.dll ---------------------------------------- System.Core Assembly Version: 4.0.0.0 Win32 Version: 4.0.30319.1 built by: RTMRel CodeBase: file:///C:/WINDOWS/Microsoft.Net/assembly/GAC_MSIL/System.Core/v4.0_4.0.0.0__b77a5c561934e089/System.Core.dll ---------------------------------------- System.Windows.Forms Assembly Version: 4.0.0.0 Win32 Version: 4.0.30319.1002 built by: RTMGDR CodeBase: file:///C:/WINDOWS/Microsoft.Net/assembly/GAC_MSIL/System.Windows.Forms/v4.0_4.0.0.0__b77a5c561934e089/System.Windows.Forms.dll ---------------------------------------- System.Drawing Assembly Version: 4.0.0.0 Win32 Version: 4.0.30319.1001 built by: RTMGDR CodeBase: file:///C:/WINDOWS/Microsoft.Net/assembly/GAC_MSIL/System.Drawing/v4.0_4.0.0.0__b03f5f7f11d50a3a/System.Drawing.dll ---------------------------------------- System.Runtime.Remoting Assembly Version: 4.0.0.0 Win32 Version: 4.0.30319.1 (RTMRel.030319-0100) CodeBase: file:///C:/WINDOWS/Microsoft.Net/assembly/GAC_MSIL/System.Runtime.Remoting/v4.0_4.0.0.0__b77a5c561934e089/System.Runtime.Remoting.dll ---------------------------------------- ************** JIT Debugging ************** To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this application or computer (machine.config) must have the jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
