Bash Patch

[#GetRektasaurus]

Hey guys, back to modding after a good few years break.

I am currently building a mod list and play testing to see all works together. When I used to mod before I would have LOADS of weapon and armour mods, which I used to require a "bash patch" for. Is this still the case? ALL of my weapon and armour mods are added through scripts and some even have quests hidden behind a certain player level to acquire the weapon (G36 Complex etc.) My question is do I still need a patch? and if so, will this patch affect these quests and release the weapons to the level list before normal acquisition.

In all honesty I am slightly confused by what a bash patch does, I appreciate it takes all known level listing from mods and places them together but does this affect anything? Do the level requirements to see weapons still exist or does the patch mash them all together? (I.e.. Say an AK appears on Gunners at level 15+, will that patch remove the 15+ requirement and just release the weapon straight away?)

I have asked this on Nexus but to no avail.

If you're certain everything is added via script, then there's no need for a merged patch, that's just when stuff is added manually in LLs
Even in this case, the level requirements wouldn't be affected though

Thanks buddy.

Do you know if it would affect the certain level quests?

I.e. You need to be level 25 for some weapons to unlock the quest to unlock said weapon. (Again, G36 Complex, MP5 Complex etc.) Will I see the weapon before the quest due to the patch? Or will the patch handle the level listing AFTER the quest is complete?

There's no reason it would mess up with the excepted level, unless you really tinker with the quest script themselves, but that can't happen with just a merged patch

Lovely thanks for that chap.

Only dong the patch, I don't tend to mess with stuff.

So I should only see these weapons once the quest is complete and are injected into the level lists.

You've been a big help, thank you.
