Just installed STEP Extended + Explorer Guide pack, now what?

[Smile44]

I have never seen that window before, I assume you have the latest versions of TES5Edit and the script. I assume also that you have only selected the patches as seen in your screen shot. If those assumptions are indeed correct then I am at a loss as to what is happening.

 

Perhaps ask in the main troubleshooting section of this forum under TES5Edit, one of the more technically minded users might be able to point you in the right direction. TES5Edit should be version 3.0.32 (which I see you have) and merge script version should be 1.65, on mine I see "Merge Script v1.65" at the top of my box when I run the script so that may very well be the problem.

 

Otherwise I am flumoxed, especially as I have never seen this error mentioned on this site before, could be some kind of install error, I would try re-installing the script into the script folder of TES5Edit and see if that works other wise, ask in the main STEP troubleshooting forum.

OK I just solved it by downloading Merge Plugins r7-hotfix from here https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/37981/?tab=2&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Fskyrim%2Fajax%2Fmodfiles%2F%3Fid%3D37981&pUp=1 then extracting it to my scripts folder in the TES5Edit installation directory.

 

Then I re-did the Requiem patch merging and this time it worked more like it should. Looks like some people, like me, will need that TES5Edit plugin hotfix!

I have another problem though...

 

 

any ideas??

First are your plugins in the correct order in TES5Edit before you make the merge, second try leaving renumber form IDs ticked, none of those patches are masters so you should be fine. Once your patch is formed without any error messages as you have shown in your pic then right click the merged patch and select check for errors and provided that works alright then you should be good to go.

 

[d3v]

Yep in both MO plugins-pane and TES5Edit, they're in the exact order you laid out in this post specifically...

 

Requiem - Resources.esp
Requiem - USKP Patch.esp
Requiem - HearthFires.esp
Requiem - Dragonborn.esp
Requiem - Falskaar.esp
Requiem - Wyrmstooth.esp
Requiem - Cutting Room Floor Patch.esp
Requiem - SCRR Patch.esp
Requiem - CCOR Patch.esp
Requiem - CCOR Patch - Hearthfires.esp
Requiem - Dragonborn - CCOR Patch.esp
Requiem - WAF+Clothing and Clutter Fixes Patch.esp
Requiem - Improved Closefaced Helmet Legendary Patch.esp
Requiem - Trade and Barter Vendor Less Gold.esp
ExplosiveBoltsVisualized.esp
AOS2_Requiem1.7.3 Patch.esp

 

Here's the options window before I press OK. Are the correct boxes checked/unchecked?

 

p.s same thing happens when I left "Renumber Form IDs" checked.

[Smile44]

OK try leaving resources out of the mix, one more esp file but since LOOT sorts according to masters it should still sort ok.

 

[d3v]

Left our Requiem - Resources patch but still get exact same error...

 

[Smile44]

There is usually more information further down on the right hand panel when this happens which will tell you which file is having problems, then merge that particular file manually into the patch. I have merged twice as many patches as you are trying to in my current Requiem - Merged Patches because I am using SR plus REGS plus Requiem and a fair number of other mods and it does so without a problem. Do you have the latest versions of the patches?

 

:confused:

[d3v]

Tried again, same error. Here's some info that may help?

 

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------Your merged file has been created successfully.  It has 6387 records.The following records failed to copy:   GRUP Exterior Cell Block -1, 1 from file Requiem - USKP Patch.esp   GRUP Cell Children of [CELL:00000D74] (in Tamriel "Skyrim" [WRLD:0000003C] at 0,0) from file Requiem - USKP Patch.esp   GRUP Exterior Cell Block -1, 0 from file Requiem - USKP Patch.espScript terminated itself, Result=-1[Apply Script done]  Processed Records: 16, Elapsed Time: 01:08

USKP patch is at fault somehow?

Edited September 3, 2014 by d3v

[Smile44]

Yes so try merging all the other patches in the same order but leave the USKP patch out. Then it should merge. I use Hard Times, I have not tried it with the USKP patch. It should all merge fine.

 

[d3v]

OK leaving out the UKSP patch worked, i now have a merged patch that I named "Requiem - Merged Patch" and also performed a TES5Edit error check as per your wiki guide. I just moved the merged patch from overwrite to Patch Central, then ran loot and got 12 errors!

Once again I have no idea how to proceed :confused:

 

edit: I thought I'd already installed the STEP Requiem patch, but realised I had not, so I did so and now when I re-LOOTED the errors are down from twelve to four! I also right-click "requiem - patch central" and moved a bunch of ESP's up in to the optional box, that I guessed I do not need.

 

Here's the errors...

 

Inconsequential NPCs - Enhancement.esp

CRC: D8E34C74

• Error: This plugin requires "1nivWICCloaks.esp" to be installed, but it is missing.
• Error: This plugin requires "hothtrooper44_ArmorCompilation.esp" to be installed, but it is missing.

STEP Pack Requiem Patch.esp

CRC: A3052AC

• Error: This plugin requires "imp_helm_imp.esp" to be installed, but it is missing.
• Error: This plugin requires "Requiem - Dragonborn.esp" to be installed, but it is missing

Edited September 3, 2014 by d3v

[Smile44]

Remove both of those plugins. The errors you show tell you that you have missing plugins which are masters you either install those mods or remove the plugins. You don't have "Immersive Armors 7" or "Winter is Coming Cloaks". The Requiem STEP Patch is out of date and you don't need it.

 

If you get similar errors then look at the names of the plugins and decide do you need this plugin, if yes then install the mods indicated if not remove the plugin.

 

 

[d3v]

Hi and many thanks for sticking in with me for this long!

 

I actually did consider disabling those plugins before posting my previous post (I'm not totally hopeless!) but then on second thoughts realised I may need both of them, so was unsure! I then tried to locate the "1nivWICCloaks.esp" and the other 3 but could not find them. I had no idea the Requiem - STEP patch was obsolete.

 

Disabling the obsolete Requiem STEP patch has reduced my loot errors from four to two, and these two errors belong to Inconsequential NPCs - Enhancement.esp which I can see on my plugins Windows, and when I disable it and re-loot I still get the same error. Restarting MO and re-LOOTing does not solve this. Any ideas?

 

EDIT: Aha I have solved it. The Inconsequential NPCs - Enhancement.esp plugin was found in the Requiem - Patch Central - REGS mod, so within the right-pane in MO, I right-click > Information > Optional ESP's then moved the offending esp plugin to the top window. Now LOOT reports ) errors. Gonna try launching Skyrim now.... exciting times!

 

EDIT2: I CTD'd before getting to the main menu, so still something wrong :(

Also here's some shots of my MO load order for left and right-pan. Also included is the optional ESP windows for all the Requiem mods, minus the bring out your dead patch which only has one ESP anyway. I'm hoping you can spot anything wrong as I haven't a clue! p.s how do I find the .txt file containing my MO LEFT-pane mod list?

Having looked back over your instructions I never understood this part...

However it has now occurred to me if this is performed in LOOT load order meta rules? So you highlight the plugin, click "show conflicting" plugins then drag & drop the plugin that loads after?

Edited September 4, 2014 by d3v

[Smile44]

Loot should sort those properly as I have said. Those are rules to use with BOSS Userlist Manager, you should not need them.

 

Have you tried getting TES5Edit to load up your whole load order after LOOT has sorted i? IN other words open TES5Edit and then click OK, if it does not finish loading, you will get an error message. The right hand pane will tell you what is wrong. Normally if the game crashes on start up you have a missing master file and this TES5Edit method will Identify it as will opening up wrye bash look for RED boxes.

 

If that doesn't show what the fault is then it is very likely one of your skyproc patches are you running DSR? If you are then run it again as you may have added new data since the last time.

 

Try TES5Edit first though.
