Greetings and thanks in advance for the precious time spent educating me.
What is the algorithm used by WB to merge leveled lists entries? I am trying to gain an understanding such that I can glance at a set of conflicts in XEdit and understand what is going to pop out on the other end with proper tags and load order.
The simplest example to set up is the bash patch of Legendary content...
After noting that Skyrim.esm has no tags and Dawnguard.esm has [DELEV NAMES] build patch and load it up in TESVEdit
If we look at 0010C6ED LItemVampireAttire we'll find an example of a list that was merged. As I expected the first 3 entries from Skyrim.esm drop off since Dawnguard has DELEV and those entries weren't in the Dawnguard.esm column..
I'm confused as to why the next entry, the first one in the Dawnguard.esm version of the list, did not carry over into the list in the patch?
Even more confusing is how it chose to basically keep every other record from Skyrim.esm after that?
Below is a screenshot of the patch since a picture is worth like.. 20000 words in this case.
