This will create a new TES4Gecko patch file called OOO_scythes.esu. Now you can simply change the .esu extension to .esp and you're ready to move on to the next step. | ||
When you're done, save the plugin, and you'll see all the Ignored entries vanish. | Alternately, you can use ''Display/Copy Plugin Records'' or ''Compare Plugins'' in TES4Gecko to Ignore everything except the changed entries. You can quickly Ignore large blocks of stuff by simply doing group-level ignores on record groups you know you don't need. When you're done, save the plugin, and you'll see all the Ignored entries vanish. | ||
Regardless of which method you used, you'll next want to fire up Wrye Bash, right-click OOO_scythes.esp, select ''Add Master'' from the context menu, and pick any other ESM file you can find (since OOO is currently an ESP only). After doing that, re-select your mod, look in the dependencies window (small pane in lower-right of screen), find the master record you need to change, click it twice (until you get the edit box), and type in "Oscuro's_Oblivion_Overhaul.esp" (replacing whatever ESM you initially selected). | |||
