Merging Mods - 01/03/19 01:40 AM
Hey,
I'm a programmer by trade, but new to Divinity Modding.
After playing through the game, I decided to install some mods, but I found a lot of them conflicted.
So I set out to merge all the conflicts. I worked through all the files in the Public Folder without issue, repackaged the lsb files when needed, etc.
I'm struggling to do the same with the files in the Mods\Story folder, as I'm faced with what looks to me is the entire dump of the modder's version of the story file, and each mod has hundreds of differences, but only a few actually calling the new functionality they supposedly introduce.
I tried generating my own goals and story div, for example, but I found their size was tiny compared to the one included in the mods, and largely incomplete.
Can someone talk me through the process of generating a full story file and goals file, which I can then modify with the changes the modder has made?
Bonus points if there's an easy way to increment the Goals down the list, or if I'm going about it all wrong, and someone can explain a better way.
Thanks guys.
