Hi,
I want to use Abot's Deleveler with multipatch.esp (tes3cmd multipatch) and Delta Plugin.
I already use multipatch.esp + Delta Plugin, thanks to the jmelesky explanations.

Now i want to use Abot's Deleveler. So i generate its devel.esp plugin after the multipatch.esp generation. In the end i order my load list this way:
.
.
.
multipatch.esp
delta-merged.omwaddon
devel.esp

Do you confirm this is correct?

Isn't Delta Plugin a native OpenMW replacement for Multipatch? I mean - they do the same stuff?

DeltaPlugin can merge all record types which can be meaningfully merged (there's no need to use other merging tools as well), and detects removed as well as added content to records such as levelled lists, and similar structures.

Yes and no. Multipatch doesn't read OpenMW plugins (.owmaddon), and Delta Plugin has some pbs, especially this one:
https://gitlab.com/bmwinger/delta-plugin/-/issues/35

Finally i find a solution for me: i remove Delta Plugin and i keep Multipatch, cause the few OpenMW plugins i have don't need to be merged.

Thanks, I'm still learning the details of this stuff - mod list building in OpenMW is familiar but with a few twists compared to "Oldwind".

I'm concerned about mod cleaning in linux at the moment, there's a dearth of linux ready solutions - and hope to rely on Delta Plugin for all of my merge/patch needs.

What I said is misleading.
tes3cmd multipatch merge leveled lists (creatures and items), but doesn't merge objects.
Delta Plugin merge objects and leveled lists.

So tes3cmd multipatch can't be a replacement for Delta Plugin.

Furthermore, the main pb i had with Delta Plugin (https://gitlab.com/bmwinger/delta-plugin/-/issues/35) is mysteriously gone (perhaps it's my update of OpenMW?... (-> commit 5160fbc2)).
