Overview

This procedure is separated into several templates so it may be included in several instances in the article "Multiple-file Merge Up Procedure", with intervening commentary at the various steps.

Multi-file Merge Up Procedure

Step 7. Now when all records in all the loaded, merged plugins other than the 'parent plugin' are overrides (remember those backgrounds of yellow or red we ignored in step 3?), you can then select them all and use the script "Merge overrides into parent.psc" (bundled in TESEdit 5 v3.1.3+) to merge overrides into the parent. You need to select the subrecords, not just the "record type" when using the script. FNVEdit will not merge overridden records by default; this script was created for this very purpose. (Thank you Zilav). The script will not copy 'injected' records even if selected. Try not to use "Deep Copy" as it doesn't always work as expected.

  • Always check to make sure all records are merged (now either green- or yellow-backgrounds.
  • Ignore red-backgrounds, which are "losing conflicts" and being dropped from the result).
  • Orange/olive-text on red-backgrounds are 'Identical To Master' (ITM) "conflict winners" and won't be merged.
