Am I right in thinking that the 10th file to be loaded would have a ModIndex of 09 and not 0A as the article suggests (under the "FormID Format" heading, last paragraph)?

:It depends on what you are talking about. Since Oblivion.esm always gets 00 (the "first"), a lot of people don't really count it. The first ''mod'' would be 01, the first thing that's going to modify Oblivion.esm. Personally, I agree with you; I think it's more helpful and meaningful to think of Oblivion.esm as the first. The article also does a poor job explaining which version it is talking about, so either way it ought to be cleared up. Thanks for pointing that out. | |||

::It's correct as currently stated. The ModIndex is determine by the file's position in the load order. The load order includes '''all''' files, and as the article states, any mod in the CS based on Oblivion.esm and the actual game will always have Oblivion.esm first on the list at 0x00. --[[User:Speedo|Speedo]] 14:43, 9 November 2008 (EST) | |||

Updates[edit source]
I just don't think this article is laid out very well.. will work on it later, just marked so I don't forget about it. --Speedo 15:52, 25 March 2008 (EDT)
- Err... the tag is meant to get other's attention. If you plan to work on it yourself just make a note to yourself, but more importantly if you want other's to help you're going to need to be more specific. Personally, I think it could use some more information (maybe take some from Wrye's articles), but the layout so far is pretty good. The only problem is the overlapping images/text (and that's easy to fix).--Haama 16:05, 25 March 2008 (EDT)
