Have you ever been trying to get two mods that edit completely different files to work with each other, but upon loading the game a fatal error occurs? You've ruled out user error and the mod author doesn't seem to be completely aware of why the crash happens either.
Why does this happen? It’s because of something called pakchunk IDs. Each mod has something similar to an internal ID that is assigned to it upon compilation. When the game detects two different mods with the same internal ID, it freaks out and causes the fatal errors you might have encountered.
The below video shows how Braklinath's Party Mod Menu and TotallyNotSora's Purple Dress Tifa cause a crash when used together despite not editing any of the same files. When the pakchunk ID fix is applied, the mods now work without issues.
Thus this script was created. This script scans all the mods you have installed and looks for mods that are using the pakchunk ID. If it finds any duplicates, it automatically changes the numbers so each mod has its own unique ID. This way, the game no longer gets confused, and your mods can work together without crashing.
How do you use the script?
Download the script.
Open the .bat file in a text editor
Edit the file to tell the script where your mods are located.
Make sure the folder path is enclosed in parenthesis THIS: set "mods= "D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH\End\Content\Paks\~mods" " NOT THIS: set "mods= D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\FINAL FANTASY VII REBIRTH\End\Content\Paks\~mods "
Save the bat file and double click it to run the program. After it's done, the game should boot without issue!
Keep in mind, this script does not fix errors that may occur as a result of mods that edit conflicting files! Two mods editing Equipment.uasset won't suddenly work in tandem by using this script.
Huge thanks to Narknon for informing me of the fix for this issue.
