xEdit already supports the lower form id range. Please update to the current version 4.1.5b
okay, I installed the version you specified, but xEdit returns an error when attempting to load my load order:
Your log shows you installed 4.1.5 not 4.1.5b
4.1.5 is not 4.1.5b.
That log shows you using 4.1.5 not 4.1.5b. You can only get the b release from Discord in the #xedit-builds channel. Also for any plugins you wish to use the extended range, the HEDR version needs to be 1.71.
thank you, gentlemen.
quick question: I've installed version 4.1.5b, I adjust the "Find plugins which could be turned into ESL" to accept records up to f00 instead of 700. I find a particular plugin matches that requirements; I edit the HEDR of the plugin to 1.710000 (xEdit seems to add several zeroes), save the plugin, then attempt to compact form ids, but xEdit says there are too many form ids.
I guess I'm wondering where in xEdit 4.1.5b is the option to compact form ids for the HEDR 1.71 version of plugins?
compacting 1.71 plugins works just fine for more than 2048 new records. You probably have to save and restart xEdit after setting the hedr to 1.71. This issue can probably be closed.
If the HEDR is changed after loading xEdit there are special things that have to happen for it to realize the range has changed, and to use the new range or not. As the list is lengthy with lots of special cases, the simplest thing is to close xEdit and save the plugin and reload. Upon reload the compact function will utilize the now appropriate range of IDs. If the plugin has IDs that are out of the valid range then it will renumber them.
Word of caution if you go from 1.71 to 1.70. That will make all your low IDs hard coded overrides and make it difficult to renumber up out of the lower range.
There is not, and will not be, any support for changing the HEDR version without restarting xEdit. If the HEDR version is being changed, the only valid next step is to close xEdit.
thank you again, gentlemen.
What is the version of xEdit you are using? 4.04.
Describe the bug nothing is wrong.
But the advent of the Backported Extended ESL Support
there is the possibility that if implemented in xEdit, that xEdit might be able to compact more plugins (because there are now 4096 ESPFE formids available instead of 2048) and xEdit will be able to find more plugins (an update to one of the ESP to ESL xEdit scripts).
To reproduce N/A
Expected behavior more plugins can be compacted and made light.
