S3D Help

Is there an easier way to combine the contents of some of these binary files?

I found several mods I enjoy but they overwrite the same files and are incompatible to use.

I can manually compare the contents but some of the binaries have so many nodes that doing manual setup in one is way too tedious.

I tried the export chunk route and imprt but its not very complete when doing so.

Is there a method I can use to combine two different dat files that easier than say the manual method?

Holding <Ctrl><Shift><C> on a "parent" node will give you a confirmation "ding" (Windows error sound). That will copy all nodes below it. When you then "paste" it into another file, it will add them all. You just have to be careful where you add them. I've got a double-screen set-up on my computer, and will open two files side-by-side to make comparisons. To do that, use the first instance of S3D you have open, and use the "File" menu item, then "Open", and point it at the 2nd file you want to use. Perhaps someone knows of a less labor-intensive method... ??
