HELP: cells interfering with eachother - editing cell offset

Post » Thu Jun 21, 2012 7:55 am

I noticed a terrible problem with my mod:

Parts of the Solitude Bits′n′Pieces shop are appearing in my selfmade player house (only ingame) and are missing in their original cell (CK & ingame).
Entering Solitude or trying to enter the shop crashed the game now. When in CK the interfering parts are missing in the original shop cell but do not show up in my playerhouse cell...
Playing Skyrim without my mod still shows a big hole inside the shop but the game don′t crashes.
Restoring an older BackUp returns everything back to normal (but I would loose a lot of hours of modding work)

My CK crashed some weeks ago ("CreationKit funktioniert nicht mehr..."), maybe there went something wrong in the esp... but I didn′t noticed any bugs or problems until last week...

I was looking at the Details and compared the entries of the B′n′P cell (working backuped esp and the bugged esp) and noticed that the offset entry of the B′n`P cell has changed...


Could that be the source of my problem?
If yes: how can I edit this value?
If no: what can I do to rescure my work and bring it back to normal?


Could the crash of the CK have caused this anyway?

I′m pretty desperated right now and have no clue where to start looking and fixing....




In Detail:

Some days ago I was testing my mod and was entering my new playerhouse when I noticed some walls and clutter that where obviously misplace.
Wondering where they came from, I opend CK and saw, that a complete part of a shop was placed inside my cell... after checking if it simply was move by accident - which it wasn′t - I deleted all interfering objects.

InGame everything was back to normal - I thought - until yesterday!

I friend betatested my mod and after he finished the quest and entered my playerhouse, another part of this shop appeared. This time I noticed, that this part belongs to the Solitudes Bits′n′Pieces shop.
To check this, I fasttravelled to Solitude to see if the shop is corrupted too but the game crashed on travel.

Opening my playerhouses cell in CK showed nothing unusual: no parts of the shop, no errors in EditorWarnigs - everything fine!

But as I opened the Bits′n′Pieces shop I immedially saw a big fat hole in the cell. All the parts that show up in my cell are missing!

Starting the game without my mod and entering the shop still shows that hole. Walls, Floor, Clutter - everything is gone...

Using an older BackUp file brought everything back to normal but I would have to redo lots of my work (that should be my last option to restore my mod)

I took a look at the EditorWarnings.txt but there are no errors that belong to my cell or the B′n′P shop cell. Examining the Details of the broken esp and comparing it to the Details of the working esp shows a mismatch in the CELL offset entry (good: 563666, now: 583781) but I did′nt found a way to edit this value...

I can remember that I copied some parts of this shop when I started to work on my own mod but they all where deleted a very long time ago.
I didn′t duplicate the shop cell, I used the empty template cell from the CK for my playerhouse cell and pasted the shop parts...
