Merge alignment one click OSTIM SA

Hello, here I will leave the program I created to generate a consistent merge between various "alignment.json" files. It is very easy to use and installs just like a mod so that you can have it handy in your mod list. By itself, it doesn't do anything; you need to follow some steps to make it work. Here is how to do it.

 

• To start, you need to enter the program. It's easy, just go to the mod you installed, and inside there will be an .exe file. Run it. There is also a .pyw version for enthusiasts who want to modify it or read how the code works.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The first is knowing where to place this file. It should be on your PC, specifically in "%USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\Skyrim Special Edition\OStim". There, you will have two .json files, but the important one is "alignment.json".

 

In my case, the location of the "alignment.json" file is "C:\Users\5652156\OneDrive\Documentos\My Games\Skyrim Special Edition\OStim".

 

Remember this: if you receive an "alignment.json" file from a friend or someone else, and you know it works and want to add the code to yours, first you need to paste it into the application's folder, overwriting what is there, and then run the program as shown in the GIF.

 

 

 

 

 

 

• You can use multiple programs available on the internet to do the merge. There is one called OStimSA Alignment Tool, it looks good and is created by SimonPhil, but I still don't understand how to use it. There are also different online programs that do the same, but you have to move the files yourself, such as json-merge. With that, you should be all set.

 

 

OK, this part is important. Wait... yes, wait. It seems that OStim takes some time to associate the alignments, and maybe the first time you open the game after all this, they might not be aligned. Therefore, after restarting the game, they will associate correctly. It's an OStim issue, and there's not much I can do about it. Thank you, everyone 🐈.

For those who know some Python, this is the inside of the program. It's basically the only thing it has. It's simple and has some comments. If you can improve it, let me know. Thanks.

I will be more active, creating patches, translations into multiple languages, programs, conversions from LE to AE, and in the future, robotics with Skyrim "a bit ambitious." Any requests or feedback will be read in the comments, and thank you for reading so much.

 

I’m not looking for remuneration for this, I love mods and enjoy making the material available to everyone.

But if you want, buy me a coffee ☕. God bless you. 

 

If you'd like to support me even more across various areas such as additional animation packages not only for OStim, dialogue mods, programs, special requests, and see how I gradually expand into creating different articles related to Skyrim.

 

here is my Patreon 🐱‍💻 Thank you very much in advance. I will respond to your requests as if my life depended on it 🐱‍👤.

 

      

 

All my content will be free, allowing Patreon and Kofi followers to decide which package will be released every two weeks through voting. I'll also prioritize their requests. In the future, I'll create my own animation packages for SL and Ostim, where you can choose which animations to include. Although it's not open yet, I've already prepared the board for future contributions. You'll also be part of the robot creation project, which will eventually move to Kickstarter as it grows. Thank you very much, everyone!

Just want to say I really appreciate the ammount of effort you're putting into helping people smooth out compatability stuff. The pandora + FNIS tool is such a lifesaver for me. (I assume it's you because of the cats and the color schemes XD)

[NolanDaneworth]

I have read the entire description and still have no clue what does it do and how does it work.

So, all i need to do is copy file for Ostim folder, replace with on inside Merge program folder, run inside merge folder and just thats it ? No additional steps ?
Then what do i need to do with other mods ? Nothing ? I am completely and utterly confused and would like to get help on explanation

It looks like it takes a file named alignment.json in the same folder as itself, you tell it where to find another alignment.json file, (such as the one in your documents/sse folder), and merges the two.

[Back2friday]

Can you not just open the custom alignment file (from anim pack) and copy paste it into the ostim alignment.json? 

[Karna5]

I've watched that GIF at least 50 times, and I can't see quickly enough to figure out what it's saying to do.

 

Are there perhaps step by step instructions anywhere or a film which can be paused? I just can't figure out what to copy where

 

Thanks either way.
