ACCEPTED Better Shaped Weapons - BSW (by masterofshadows and LeanWolf)

[Commando5551]

I'm sorry, can I get one more clarification on how this mod should be installed with respect to Dual Sheath Redux?  I think I get where the DSR patches for various mods, the BSW mod directory, and the output from the DSR-Patcher should all go, but where (or I guess "when") am I installing the DSR mod directory, that has the .jar?

Here's you a screenshot of mine Patcher:

Just install it like any other mod.

Sorry, I didn't explain myself quite right. I'm talking about my long list of mods in Mod Organizer. I'm wondering if the main Dual Sheath Redux mod directory, which includes the .jar, among other things, should be above or below the Better Shaped Weapons mod directory. From what I was reading earlier in this thread, it sounded like BSW should be after DSR, but looking at STEP 2.2.9, I see that DSR is the second-to-last "mod" I'm supposed to install, which is where my confusion is coming from. Also, it says on the wiki page for DSR that BSW should override "the other patches" but makes no reference to the main DSR file.

Yes, for extended, the BSW mod must be loaded after DSR.

Curious because I don't have it set up this way nor is the Guide nor notes on the Guide nor does the LOOT meta have it set up this way. Was this overlooked during our testing and getting 2.2.9 ready?

Must have, because BSW definitely must be after DSR in the left pane so its meshes overwrite the vanilla game left hand meshes installed with DSR.

[TechAngel85]

If that is the case, I suggest we move BSW down to section N for easy conflict resolution. Just mentioning to move it later after installing DSR is the whole reason we moved DSR and FNIS down to section N. Might as move BSW down there too.

Did you notice the notice on the bottom of the BSW page? https://wiki.step-project.com/Better_Shaped_Weapons

I did not; however, what I said still applies. We moved DSR and FNIS because we were telling users to install it early and then move it later (which was confusing users and many would forget). We should be consistent and do the same with BSW.

Except that isn't a patch mod...

[TechAngel85]

We have mods here and there that don't fit the sections they're in. This would be no different...and we were going to make even more to resolve some of the PMOP. No point in debating sections. It makes more sense to put it where it needs to be loaded like the rest of the Guide is.

[TechAngel85]

Anyone else agree with moving this down below DSR to resolve load order in Extended?

Taken from the Notes:

 

 

 

 

Extended users must load this mod after the Dual Sheath Redux Patches.

 

 

 

 

I don't see an ESP in this mod. Does it create a patch? Or does it need to "INSTALLED" after Dual Sheath Redux? 'Loaded' and 'Installed' can easily be confused.

Just do it.
