Weapon Mod Records Can't Be Injected Into A Master

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.
2.
3.

What is the expected output?

It should not error??

What do you see instead?

Weapon mod references placed in the editor, report an error when checking for 
errors. These records can't be injected into a master when merging a plugin, 
because it errors.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

V 3.0.22a Windows 7??

Please provide any additional information below.

It is a simple ESP that I created by dropping a weapon mod kit into Vault 21 
with the GECK. I left it untouched by FNVEdit. If you try to open the ESP with 
FNVEdit and to check the ESP for errors, it'll show the weapon mod kit as an 
error. Also, FNVEdit doesn't allow you to manually drop a weapon mod kit in a 
cell, by copy-pasting the item ID in a subcell record.

This is when that error occurs:
You have PluginA.esp and PluginB.esp loaded in FNVEdit
PluginA is a master of PluginB
PluginB has a Weapon Mod reference placed in a cell
right-click on the weapon mod reference, then 'change FormID'.
Change the formID so that it's mod index becomes that of PluginA. This 
'Injects' the record into PluginA.
The next step is to right-click on the injected reference (on PluginB) and 
'copy with override' into PluginA. This is when the error occurs.

As the original author of the report and ESP, let me explain this in a clearer 
way:

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. With FNVEdit load any CELL record (for example WestsidePawnShopInterior 
"Miguel's Pawn Shop" [CELL:000F0820]
2. Right-click and select "Add - REFR Placed Object". Take the default FormID. 
This will create a NULL Reference placed object in the cell.
3. Go to the Name - Base record (which currently is NULL) and edit its value by 
replacing the NULL with a weapon mod kit (for example 
ModNVLaserRifleBeamSplitter "Laser Rifle Beam Splitter" [IMOD:0010C86A])

What is the expected output?

FNVEdit should let you place the weapon mod kit in the cell

What do you see instead?

FNVEdit throws an exception that says "Found an IMOD reference, expected: ACTI, 
ALCH, AMMO, ..." and so on

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

FNVEdit

Please note that FNVEdit simply doesn't accept having a weapon mod kit (IMOD) 
into a CELL or a WORLD space. It is possible to drop a weapon mod kit into a 
CELL using the GECK, to save it into an ESP, to load that ESP and, if you check 
the ESP for errors, FNVEdit will warn you that the cell contains an IMOD where 
it shouldn't.

The solution IMO is to just add the IMOD type to the list of references that 
can be placed in the world.
