Copy General assets

[palunglaut]

Hello, could someone help explain to me about "Copy General assets" thing ?

I came here from Fear and Loathing STEP guide, there i saw one merge patch mentioned to Tick "Copy General assets", but another merge patch told to Untick "Copy General assets". I don't understand why.

Should i tick or untick ?

The answer isn't always the same. With some merges Copy General Assets would include resources that should not be copied (since some of the resources in the mods being merged are not part of the merged mod), while for other merges it is useful to check this box since all of the resources in the mods being merged will be part of the merged mod. In cases when it is not ticked there are usually instructions after the initial merge instructions on which resources to copy to the merged mod.
