Content Editor

Real-time ingame data editor for game content. The core consists of a JSON-based database and a UI framework for creating editors for arbitrary game content. Can simplify any editing of user. 2 or other files through ingame REF UI instead of desktop tools. In addition, supports adding new objects as independent, non-replacer objects instead of being forced to replace existing content (e.g. non-replacer custom items).

As data is fetched at runtime, content editor can be used to distribute changes made to objects using any other tools (e.g. modifications to user. 2 files or added with custom code like from Mesh mod enabler).

The mod by itself only provides the REFramework UI for editing and some logic for making things work, the actual content is stored and shared through bundle JSON files that can be created and edited using the UI. All content bundles are stored in GAMEDIR/reframework/data/usercontent/bundles. In case several bundles modify the same entity, the bundle with the largest load order priority will be active.

Latest versions will always be available on GitHub and documentation on the wiki pages.

A lot of people are having issues with the quest editor and I have no idea why because it works fine for me and several other people. Be prepared for issues if you choose to install the quest editor.

Installation

I highly recommend installing through Fluffy mod manager and not manually unless you know what you're doing, since there's a decent amount of files here, but if you insist, make sure the paths are all correct. The editor is split into several addons that can be individually disabled if they're not needed.

  []Drag zip into fluffy mod manager[/]

  []Enable the editor addons you need[/]

  []The core "Content Editor" mod/addon is required, the rest are optional[/]

      Compatibility notes

      Mesh Mod Enabler

      MME version 1. 05 throws an error if it finds any unknown (custom) style entries (e.g. Sigismund armor). v1. 04 works fine on launch but still fails on script reset, but at that point it's not an issue. If you specifically need 1. 05 to make the mod launch fine, you can rename the MeshModEnabler.lua file into 0MeshModEnabler.lua to make it run earlier. MME configs can also be migrated to content editor:

      1. Disable any Content Editor bundles that add new item / style data (any custom item mods)

      2. Launch the game with MME enabled so it can do its changes

      3. Find whichever style MME is modifying within content editor (if unsure, see the MME mod's JSON filename or the modified mesh filename), it should now show whatever MME did to it.

      4. Save it to a new bundle (wiki guide).

      5. Remove the MME json file and MME itself if everything's migrated

      Other item tweak mods (e.g. no job requirements, item tweaks, weight adjustments, ...)

      Content editor only sees whatever is the current state and does not modify the PAK files in any way, therefore any changes provided by other mods will work as usual. Only if you have the same item modified
