bug INI Tweak priority ... BUG???

[DocHammoc]

It seems if you have several mods with INI Tweaks to the same setting, the highest priority mod should be the final setting.  I found in testing this is not the case... in 1.2.14 of MO.

 

To test I created four mods by creating four folders

 

../mods/New Video/Video

../mods/Custom ini Tweaks/INI Tweaks

../mods/NVID Tweak/INI Tweaks

../mods/AMD Tweak/INI Tweaks

 

In the Video folder I put two new BIK files can be found here

AMD: https://www.mediafire.com/?x0r8s3atk2r10vx
Nvidia: https://www.mediafire.com/?q2zd8as587oy2q5

 

The Custom ini Tweaks/INI Tweaks a file with this in it ..

[General]
sIntroSequence=    ;Disables the intro sequence for a faster startup

 

The NVID ...

[General]
sIntroSequence=nvidia.bik

 

The AMD ...

[General]
sIntroSequence=logo_amd_hd.bik

 

I then Installed and Enabled each mod and tweak.  I could then run the program and see which vid played.  I could disable or reorder mods and hope to get expected results.  I did not.

 

 

Questions:

 

- Is this a bug?

- How are IN Tweaks prioritized between mods?

- If same mod has more than one tweak to setting then what takes precedence?  (This could happen if you have a Custom Ini Tweaks mod with one tweak for STEP containing many settings, and other tweaks from other sites)

 

Thanks in advance.

Unless your ini tweak mod has an installer that writes to your MO profile's ini, I don't think they'll work. With those you have, you'll need to open your skyrim.ini and skyrimprefs.ini manually with Notepad/etc and edit them.

 

If you want these tweaks to be global, change the My documents inis and any future profile will have the tweaks.

I think the .ini has to have the same plugin name and be in the data folder.

Thats what the skyrim unofficial patch is doing last time I checked

I think your test scenario may have more to do with what is happening, rather than the ini edits.

 

I have a ini tweak in a mod that adds functionality to the console. In it I have added this:

[Menu]
rConsoleHistoryTextColor=0,200,9
iConsoleTextSize=14
rConsoleTextColor=0,255,12
iConsoleSizeScreenPercent=50

that displays the console text as green.

 

For the purpose of this test I made a new tweak in the mod that has a higher priority and changed one line:

[Menu]
rConsoleTextColor=0,12,255

This makes the text blue.

 

With both mods activated the higher priority makes the ini tweak, in this case blue text in the console.

 

I would hazard a guess that your test may involve some code loading those videos before the tweaks are read.
