ACCEPTED STEP Patches

[EssArrBee]

Any mod page that is made with the form has permission restrictions for the recommendations section because that info ends up being used as the notes on the STEP Guide. I think only s4n, tech, will, and you have permission for that section.

Hi all,

 

Is there any reason why the STEP Core Patch.esp require imp_helm_dawn.esp and imp_hem_dbrn.esp?

The description only mentions Guard Dialog Overhaul Patch, Weapon & Armor Fixes aMidianBorn Skyforge Weapons Patch, Diverse Priests and Consistent Older People patch.

The description should be updated or the Improved Closefaced Helmets dependency removed. I prefer the second since I don't use it (I find it very creepy) but that might just be me :)

[EssArrBee]

I'll take a look at it in a bit. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I might have uploaded the wrong version since I was just going to merge those merge those mods into the patch if I got permission.

[Redferne]

Thx :)

Meanwhile I tried the merge plugin for TESVEdit to do the patch myself. So far no problem.

[EssArrBee]

Merge plugins are okay but you won't get many things like locations and stats combined into single records. The merge patch just takes the last record and forwards it.

[Redferne]

I'm not sure I understood you.

I just merge the three patches, not the masters. You think it's not good?

[EssArrBee]

What three patches?

 

The imp_hem_dbrn.esp has to be a dependency or it won't be compatible with WAF until kryptopyr makes a replacer plugin for the dragonborn version. I will probably remove the dawnguard dependency in a future version if I can't merge it to the patch.

 

Since the mod is part of STEP Core I will not be removing any mods that I see will need patching from the STEP Core Patch dependence. This has to do with Pack authors building the patches for their packs off of STEP Core. Also, this translates to STEP Extended be default since the STEP Extended Patch inherits all of the STEP Core Patch.

I understand that there is currently a Compatibility Patch suggested for Book Covers Skyrim and The Choice Is Yours to do with the Note for the Forsworn Conspiracy?

 

I have created the TCIY-BCS Patch.esp and put it inside the Compatibility Patch Collection on the Book Covers Skyrim page so this specific change is now easily available for folks who want to have the work done for them.

[Redferne]

What three patches?

DiversePriests_ConsistentOlderPeoplePatch.esp, WeaponsArmorFixes_ambSkyforge_Patch.esp and WeaponsArmorFixes_GuardDialogueOverhaul_Patch.esp

I just merged those three esp using the script found here: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/37981/?

Isn't it what the STEP patch is supposed to do? (regardless of the confusion around the description that doesn't mention Improved Closedface Helmet).

[EssArrBee]

Oh yes, I do merge those patches, but I also do so much more. There are lots of things that need patching for STEP Extended. For STEP Core you probably won't need a ton of other stuff than there is in those three patches.

@EssArrBee

 

Request:

 

Could you update the ReadMe (and the mod-page notes) such that the plugins that you merged and recommend to remove from the load are named explicitly rather than generically?

 

e.g., deactivate or uninstall plugin "abc.esp"

 

It is not easy to determine exactly which plugins you are referring to.

 

TIA

Could you please make an Extended Patch excluding Acquisitive Soul Gems? I already replaced by Smart Souls in preparation of 2.2.8.

[EssArrBee]

I'll be making one in the next day or two since we are now moving pretty quickly toward 2.2.8. Now that we have accepted Audio Overhaul I can really start moving along with patching.

 

EDIT: The readmes are done too. Just sync up. The wiki page is done as well.

I know you are not just merging patches. I saw the other patches on the Nexus and the Wiki pages.

I'm not asking you to create patch "on demand" that would be a waste of your time. I choose to not include a mod from STEP, YOU don't have to deal with that :)

It's just that your answers confused me a little and I'm just wondering if what I did is good or not.
