Firstly, I am a Mod Organizer user and have been one for months. I've successfully installed Real Shelter, Dual Sheath Redux, TAZ and Project Reality ENB by following GamerPoets videos on Youtube, but that's as far as I know that I've kept with the conventions of STEP. It would be remiss, if I didn't tell you all that first off. If you can't help me for that reason I understand. I don't believe any more details are relevant for this particular issue. That said I will be happy to include more detail if required. I've been looking for answers on the Skyrim Mods subreddit, but I've found none there.
I'm currently having a problem with completing the Skyproc patching process for "Spears by Soolie" with "Predators - The Lost Tribes installed. Specifically, when running the patcher I receive this error...
"skyproc.exceptions.MissingMaster: (any esp that has Lost Tribes as a master) has some missing masters: - PredatorsLostTribesV1.esp."
Thing is, the active PredatorsLostTribesV1.esp. has always preceded the files that required it every time I ran the patch. In fact, I've made sure of it. I run all my patchers individually through SUM making sure that neither LOOT or BOSS run before it, thus potentially interfering with the load order. That didn't work. Then when I disabled the esps that needed Lost Tribes, the patching completes properly.
Unfortunately, when looking at the resulting patch with TES5Edit, the PredatorsLostTribesV1.esp didn't appear as a master, so consequently the patch doesn't create the new "spear races" needed for the custom Predator races to use the new spear/javelin animations. Interestingly, the non-playable enemy races in the "Skyrim Immersive Creatures" mod like the Golden Saints were patched to now have "spear races". So some custom races do get patches, but I don't know why.
Now I'm not an expert on this subject, but it is as if the Spears By Soolie patcher doesn't recognise the lost tribes esp. I can put the Spears by Soolie esp at the bottom of my 189 mods, and the patcher will stop right as it is about to finish, because it erroneously declares my TES5edit merged patch (which almost directly precedes the spear esp) is missing the PredatorsLostTribesV1.esp. This mod seems to be uniquely affected by this issue, at least in my load order.
Once the patcher does recognise it, then I think the problem will be solved. I've tried repackaging the Predator mod as a loose files version instead of a bsa. That made no difference. I've also tried to compare esps that were recognised in the creation kit, but I didn't really know what to look for.
Most other patcher troubleshooting posts that discuss missing masters refer to esms; furthermore, I don't think I've read anyone with this exact problem before with the relatively new Spears patcher. I've reached the limits of what I can do, basically. Can anyone with any knowledge of Skyproc patchers help me at all? Before anyone asks it is only the Soolie Spears patcher for me that has this problem, I've been able to successfully run PaMA and DSR with the Lost Tribes mod enabled.
