[Solved] SSEEdit question

[monsta88]

Hi there,

 

please educate me, why is this red? And how can I fix it?

 

 

 

I can't copy the entries from OBIS into OBIS Loot, the option is not available when i try to drag'n'drop them there. Also, I don't think that would be the proper solution.

 

Thanks in advance,

M

Colors are explained here, assuming these are still correct:

To put it short, its red because the value was removed then put back again.

I would start by making sure OBIS SE is a master of OBIS Loot SE. If its still refusing, type in the form id by hand.

In this case it would.

As usual, thank you for the answer.

 

OBIS is master of Obis loot:

 

 

And it doesn't let me manually type in anything in the OBIS Loot. I can only edit the other 2.

 

What i could do is to edit the Bashed patch and modify the Level to 2. It creates a separate Leveled List entry and solves the conflict.

You have to create a list entry to type into first. Right click on the Leveled List Entries row, there's probably an option in there.

Thank you, I could do that, it just felt weird to edit an established mod like that. Now everything is green related to OBIS and OBIS Loot.

I guess it might be worth mentioning that the list entry missing from OBIS Loot SE is not necessarily a conflict: "Bashed Patch, 0" puts it back, so everything that expects that specific record to be there should be working fine. I suppose what my point is is that I wouldn't care so much about the colors shown by xEdit. I guess the proof being that I do not use any automatic patch generators, I do my patching by hand, and I still don't know what the colors mean. What I do is treat anything that isn't green or white as "may wanna look at this one".

 

The real problem here would be the entry count difference in "Bashed Patch, 0" compared to OBIS SE. If for some reason something expects this LVLI to have 4 entries, then "Bashed Patch, 0" is actually your problem because it changes the count to 6. Bad example perhaps, but the point is, just because its red it doesn't mean its a problem. A conflict is not really a problem if the result of that conflict is what you expected and wanted.

Thank you for clarifying, that's exactly why I posted the OP, it seemed fine to me, because OBIS Loot wasn't losing anything, but it still was red.
