Few ESL Questions

[moody132]

I moved from LE to SE about few weeks ago. I have few questions about ESL;

Record limit is 2048. My bashed patch genereted in Wrye bash has more than that, yet Wrye Bash still flags it with esl.

 

So, if my bashed patch is on FE-203, then every record above 2048 will take place of FE-204, so if i had something loaded after bashed patch, it would fuck that next plugin, right? Or next plugin will fuck theese bashed patch records. I intend to remove this flag anyway, but it would be good to know exactly how it works.

 

Next, scripts. If mod have script GetFormFromFile and I compressed this referenced file, then this Form will be something else, right? Like GetFormFromFile 0000ff43 and this should be door or whatever, but now its is steel arrow, or actually now it is beyond 2048 limit, so next ESL propably? Anyway, broken, simple as that.

But my question is, i can just check this in script files, right? They are half readable/half not. I propably would be able if it has GetFormFromFile, and if it does, then i do not eslfy it.

 

Also load order, they all are loaded as FE, so at the and, right? so load order matters only between them, but it does not between esl and esp?

Bashed overwrites records, this do not count as new.

Limit is 4096 - some id used by skyrim. Save side less 3000, very safe half 4096. (start 00000800)

Scripts need to be modified, as id changed.

Changing fe load order not recommended as bit 3 to 6 (slot of fe) is part of id.

PS: I never used 000007FFF, too risky, but I saw mods doing this.
