Merging folders with mods (1 Viewer)

[kositrni]

Hello, I have SDT for a while now, and i have quite a number of bundles together, and its getting quite messy for me to sort stuff out as when i try something new i dont know into what loader i added it.
I would love to maybe merge atleast Wewillie dialoges, and some others so i could further customize only one SDT without problems :D I think I saw a threat about some kind of program or script someone made a while ago, but I can not find it. Does it exist, or was only an idea?

Let me see if I understand you correctly. Are you saying that you have multiple installations of SDT?

 

[kositrni]

Yeah, i downloaded each bundle seperatly (wewillie, f93, etc...) And i think i saw a thread about a year ago about how there is a way to put everything together...
I have like 7 installations.

See, this is why you shouldn't use packs to begin with. Here's what you should do:
[list type=decimal]
[*]Pick one of the installations as the primary installation.
[*]Go to the <SDT>/Mods directories of all the other installations.
[*]Move all the folders in each of those separate directories into the primary <SDT>/Mods directory. If any folders overlap:
[list type=decimal]
[*]Merge the folders. If there are file conflicts, do not overwrite them, but keep both.
[*]Go into each merged folder.
[list type=decimal]
[*]Open all copies of Mods.txt.
[*]Copy all the text into one Mods.txt.
[*]Delete any duplicate lines.
[*]Now delete the duplicate files.
[/list]
[/list]
[*]Open all the <SDT>/Mods/Mods.txt files.
[*]Copy all the the text in the non-primary Mods.txt files into the primary Mods.txt file.
[*]Delete any lines that refer to the same folder.
[*]Delete all the non-primary installations.
[/list]

don't forget stuff from the init folders xD

That would be included in the "all folders" part. After all, it's not like adding dollar signs turns directories into hidden system directories.
