To Many Mods? Need To Combine Some?

[WolfyBrandon]

Hello All,

I’m one of those people in our community who use a large combination of little mods here and there to spice up different aspects of the game to my own personal liking. The problem is I can't use a lot of the nice big mods out there because they have a lot of conflicting files with mods I already have and want to keep.

Anyway instead of trying to contact the author's of the mods and try to get them to combine the mods for me I’ve started to search for a simple program that would allow me to do this by myself easly. I wanted to take 2 conflicting files and convert them to .txt and then use an editor to visually see the differences and then combine those changes into one file so I can use both mods at the same time. I’m sure there might be some mods out there that edit the same string of code and I still won’t be able to use them both, but for other mods this might come in handy.

I stumbled across a few editing programs I have yet to test out and I thought this might be something I should post on the forums for mod authors who might be interested in simply making different versions of their mod to be compatible with other popular mods. Also, some authors might already know of some good programs that can perform this task they might want to recommend to me and others.

To get an idea of what I’m looking into here is an example program.
