[Van555]

oh course black people have purple hands!

 

Hmm Wyre flash is having trouble with fco and mator smash is just catatonic right now. Odd

The Advanced Recon mods can safely be merged also. I'm down to 48 plugins now. I purposely left out the ESMs though, not sure about whether they can be merged. They more than likely can but some other mods might look for those in later installs.

 

Advanced Recon Tech

Advanced Recon RangeFinder

Advanced Recon Gear

Advanced Recon Gear - Project Nevada

 

The upshot of this too is the *.xml files for the menu are likewise merging and this may render UIO superfluous.

Also, my eyes hurt. Forgot how intense I get when I'm playing in the wiki and updating everything.

Too quick for me again. Nice. I'll go through and freshen up some of the edits to use some of those fancy templates. Make things look amazing. You're also still in Merge Plugins Script mode with the text descriptions, have a look at how I edited the last two merge sections to see what I mean. Any new merge instructions can be mostly copy/paste from these.

 

Tell me, why is it a five and half year old game can still hold sway, even in the face of new games?

[GrantSP]

I just noticed a description you had was for the main window and I was reading it as the initial plugin selector dialogue, so I've added some extra text to clarify those steps. Might seem a bit verbose but it just means only the plugins needed for the merge are loading, not the whole list.

[EssArrBee]

You don't have to bother unchecking mods like you do when running something in xEdit. You just add what you want to a merge. You can even do all the merges at once if you wait till the end.

Dropped Hall Of Equipment

Why?

[EssArrBee]

It's just upscaled vanilla textures. Performance increases without them.

[Van555]

OK serious question why are all my black people stuck with pink hands! Its so hard to deal with these little things

I guess it has something to do with roberts mod maybe but its the worst. And I can't get mator smash to work at all!

[EssArrBee]

It may be ROberts or FCO. Since I'm working my way through the guide, I should clean up a bunch of minor annoyances. Mator Smash is in alpha, so only advanced users should get it to work. Stick to Wrye Flash for patching or you'll end up pulling your hair out. 

[EssArrBee]

Does anyone actually like DEIMOS? I'm under the impression that most don't. I've played through it once and thought it was okay, but I may give it the ax since I need plugin slots. 

[EssArrBee]

I think I finally found a minor issue with merging. You have to disable the copying of assets for certain merges since it makes a lot of stuff redundant if you don't. With Advanced Recon you will probably end up with extra BSAs.

 

I think I may have to give lots of instructions to disable/enable the copy assets part since anything with an ESM is going to need to left ticked.

 

@Grant, I think you made the merging instructions kinda confusing. The first instructions says to click OK, then the next line says to Uncheck All. I think I like the way I had it before. it doesn't matter what plugins get loaded, plus most people will have the plugins being merged at the bottom of the list.

Talking about Merge Plugin Standalone.

I can't get past the merging of the Uncut Content, because i cannot find a way to "Resolve the Errors" after merging with Merge Plugins xEdit Script wich the guide says im going to, and checking for error in FNVedit.

 

Is the guide written for Merge Plugin Standalone and not the Merge Plugins xEdit Script? P

 

 

Is it this tool which is the standalone: https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/39655 (FNV Plugin Utility)

 

I've found the Merge Plugin Standalone here, so ok i will read the documentation and figure it out i hope.

The guide would be even better than it already is with a few more words where it is and how to install it into MO. Just a well meant suggestion.

 

 

Thanks for a great guide. I'm so looking forward to trying out FNV this time around (lucky 3 times starting from scratch)

I'm porting the guide from the scirpt version to the standalone version. Check the changelog at the top of the guide page for info.

No, the link is located in the Utilities section of the guide.

Ive had a steep learnign curve from beginning of desember 2015 when i started with Nexus Mod Manager, and now i'm going all in for MO. 

 

Please help me. And thanks for a great guide. I'm so looking forward to trying out FNV this time around (lucky 3 times starting from scratch)

[nexuspolaris]

Ok, i see now.  The changes happened yesterday, so i didnt see them. Thanks alot. Tomorrow more modding, jej.

[GrantSP]

Yeah, your changes are much better. Too much info was confusing, now it has a much better flow.
