This article introduces some tips and tricks for conversion using scripts.

Conversion in the script with ESL flagging
You can add the ESL flag to a replacer mod made with a normal esp file, and convert it with this script.
1. Manually add the ESL flag from the file header.
2. Right-click and select Rnumber Form IDs from, enter 800, and execute.
3. Run this script in the normal way.
This should convert without any problems.

General notes

  • The condition for adding the ESL flag is that the total number of records must be 2048 or less (4096 or less for extended ESL). Plugin files with more records than this cannot be ESL flagged.
  • When you run Rnumber Form ID, the reference relationships between records may become invalid when the From ID is changed.

About Merging
If you merge before converting, there should be no problems as long as you take basic precautions such as Form ID collisions into consideration.
Even if you combine a series of replacer mods into a single ESP, it will be converted correctly.

You need to be careful when merging after conversion.
When you merge, the Form ID will change, so you will also need to change the name of the Facegen file.
You may also need to move any Facegen files associated with the ESPs being merged into a different folder.
If you use a merge tool that can do this for you, it will probably be no problem.

Convert a replacer mod that does not have an ESP file
This script can convert replacer mods that do not have ESP files into a format that can be used with SkyPatcher by following a few steps.

1. Create a new ESL flagged ESP with the name of your choice
2. Remove the ESL flag from the newly created ESP
3. (option) When unsetting the ESL flag for the new ESP, set the header version to 1.71
4. Save your changes, close SSEEdit, turn on the newly created ESP, and reopen SSEEdit.
5. Copy all NPC records from the destination mod to the newly created ESP as override records
6. Run the script. Select the option to remove records that do not have Facegen files
7. When the script has finished, set the ESL flag again

If the mod you're replacing is 2048 or less, you can use this method to convert it into an ESL-flagged ESP.
Also, if your game version is 1.6.1130 or higher, you can follow an option step to make it compatible up to 4096.
If you have Backported Extended ESL Support installed, it may work with versions prior to 1.6.1130.

If you want to convert more than 4096 records into a single ESP, you should either create a normal ESP without the ESL flag and follow these steps, or simply split it into multiple ESL-flagged ESPs.
