File list order in OpenMW-CS vs. OpenMW?

Post by mikeprichard »

The top-to-bottom list order of my .esm/.esp/.omwaddon files when I select "Create a New Addon" or "Edit A Content File" in the OpenMW-CS startup menu does not match the current top-to-bottom order of my .esm/.esp/.omwaddon files in my OpenMW game data launcher. Is this incorrect CS ordering not a problem, as long as I choose the correct file dependencies from this CS list whenever I edit or create a file in the CS? If it is a problem, how exactly can I permanently correct the default ordering of this CS list so that it matches the current ordering of my OpenMW game data list? (I know I can manually move entries within the CS list up and down each time I enter the CS menu, but my changes in this respect are not saved as defaults the next time I open the CS.) Cheers!

I am going to BUMP this topic and also add, is this a bug? I would think the mod dependencies should match as I *thought* they match between vanilla MW and CS

Thanks, st - should I add this to the issue tracker? Not sure whether it actually causes problems, but from a user perspective it does seem off.

I've just opened an issue for this for better visibility, since the forums are fairly quiet:

I have a simple setup without many mods and I don't see any differences - can you provide an example or two? Screenshots may help to understand the problem.

Thanks; I've now updated the git issue with two uploaded screenshots.
