Since the main file which holds the texures is a bsa, it won't show any conflicts or overwrites with existing loose files? Weren't there some creatures, Dragonpriest Acolytes etc. that STEP preferred to be vanilla or otherwise modded? Also, if there are still clothes textures in the file, wouldn't they overwrite 'Rustic Clothing' in its current position?

I believe this setting allows conflict resolution from within archives.

Rustic clothing gets overwritten, yes. That's why it's in Foundation. We still need to determine details of overrides.

Great feature, never knew this existed. But since it is experimental and comes with a warning attached, it is something to only temporarily enable, i suppose?

In the current setup the clothes folder in Book of Silence is set to be hidden, to not overwrite 'Rustic Clothing'.

I keep it enabled always.

It's only the bandit outfit, which can also be hidden in the Content Addon.

I keep it constantly enabled as well. The one caveat is that to be aware of is that this does not show conflicts with assets in the base game and DLC archives (because this would be seriously slow), but it's great when you need to see asset conflicts between mods.

Thank you both. I'll keep this on as well.

With the  'Archives parsing' feature enabled, i can look inside the bsa, but cannot hide specific folders, i.e. the 'Clothes' folder. But the mentioned folder is still being overwritten by the one in 'Rustic Clothing', so all is good; this might be a matter of loose files winning over archives maybe?

I think you can double click on the BSA and look in it regardless of that setting. That setting allows MO to parse for conflict detection is all.

The loose assets are what matters though, because they override anything in a BSA (Rustic Clothing is loose)

True, you could always do that, regardless of '... archives parsing' feature being enabled. But the BSA is shown as a preview window, you can open the singular files and folders, but cannot manipulate them, at least i cannot ...

My bad ... I must've extracted the BSA and added it to the mod (and have NO memory of doing this).

As I mentioned. Rustic Clothing is loose files, so you don't need to do anything but install these mods and check the conflicts.

I'm just glad to hear none of us had it wrong or an error in the setup (hihi) ... And yes, 'Rustic Clothing' is fine with having loose files overwriting the AMB bsa.

Found the second of the two 'Easter egg' armor sets yesterday, both have nicely written notes attached and, as with all the other additions from the mod, are flawlessly integrated into the gameworld. Thanks for revisiting this mod and adding it to the guide ...

Mod updated on Nexus

• Version 3.0.0

  • FOMOD installer.

  • Added a patch for Animated Armoury - DAR Version - New Weapons with Animations which enables aMidianBorn variants of Animated Armoury's new weapons.

  • Removed some duplicate files which were already included in the aMidianBorn Book of Silence SE - CCOR CONTENT ADDON .bsa.

Judging by my Wrye Bash, the STEP patches involved will need some major work, especially on the level lists.

[ButchDiavolo]

Another update:

• Version 3.0.1

  • Corrected format of the optional Elven weapons textures so they appear correct in game.
  • Corrected scabbard normal map file paths on a pair of optional LeanWolf's Better-Shaped Weapons meshes.
  • Minor texts edits to the FOMOD for improved clarity.

[Mercury71]

Small update.

• Version 3.0.4

  • Added "vanilla" LeanWolf's white-specular Glass Arrow and Chillrend meshes.
