I copy and past the rows from two files into excel with text-columns as appropriate to give decent 'first pass' outcome. chicken feed added to 'pickables' with 1.9/A Woman's Lot, doesn't exist in your modded 'pickables' from a mod built on even something as recent as 1.8, and there will be even more missing items if the build was 1.4 and hasn't been properly updated). You should consider what the impact of a change might be and keep/remove the changes of each file accordingly.įor items, it is nearly always that the additional lines control added items from patches and dlc, and it is the absence of these which causes the bulk of 'my game doesn't work' errors.

I'm now controlling 2070 vs 2224 Lines.įor rpg params, there are a variety of changes, additions and deletions. I'm trying to merge 2 different xmls, and while you'd think it is quite easy, it's actually quite the hell, since one of those xmls has many more entries then the other, and I don't even understand why, since both should only change some values (one for durability, one of herbal-weights). PAK it, rename to ZZZ_Merged and launch the game.ĭoing this by hand. Time to select all the forders created in the merge and ZIP 'em, again when in doubt the link is there to help.

Once you're done with merging your preferences you may want to create a mod.manifest ( copy it from one of your used mods, add a new line with every add to keep track and save it). You have to know before what each file is doing, taking out or adding to the game, this way you'll be able to understand empty lines or overwrites. if any exist, select Two at a time, right click winmerge and you'll be able to spot differences (careful with the file you're going to keep, don't leave nothing useful from the other one behind). Once everyting you want is in the same folder structure, go folder by folder and check for xml doubles. When merging do not EVER overwrite files, windows will add numbers to distinguish so keep em in the same merged folder. Simply copy the PAKs you wanna use, change format to ZIp, extract to folders, merge all once you got the folder structure right by reading the link i put above. I installed winmerge, have it on my right button menu. I personally opted for a do it for me because mod mergers are too much of a trouble for something so simple as merging folders and solve minor conflicts between XML files. How about you Pak your group of mods yourself?
