I am using your Script to Replace FormIDs for a Standalone PA Mod & Tutorial, without your current Script it would take forever to do this mod, but cause sometimes I'm meet with unique FormIDs that need to be replaced I have to input the Find & Replace 1 by 1 for each session rather than load it all at once and change FormIDs in Batch (I already gave the Script a Hotkey = Ctrl + H for Changing 34 to 34 FormIDs for Fallout's Power ARMO GRUP's OBTE Area)

Find: Select Plugin > Replace: Select Plugin > [Checkmark] = Lock to Current ESP/ESM (Cause Loading Fallout4.esm is probably slowing it down)

  1. Find: 00001 > Replace: 00002
  2. Find: 000A0 > Replace: 000B2
  3. Find: 00D05 > Replace: 00D07
  4. and could continue adding FormIDs

OK > Executes all changes going Left > Right > Down > Left > Right >Down > etc of the list.

If it were possible to Copy & Paste a List of FormIDs under Find: Column Textbox >
Copy & Paste a List of FormIDs under Replace: Column Textbox > Ok > Execute Row 1, 2, 3, etc.

I've been asking for Workflow features from other Mod Devs (few we're okay with what I said) and if you feel this is a terrible idea just say so or advise me on how to use GitHub better (Most threads I create get Locked on first reply)

Sounds like a good suggestion to me!

I'd love to make this, but I'm not sure when I'll get around to it. I've been moving away from working on xEdit scripts because I don't like the limitations of the xEdit scripting environment. I will definitely take your suggestions into account for future tools, but I can't make any guarantees on when an updated tool will be ready. I may make it tomorrow or three months from now.

Thank for taking the time to hear me out, by no means do I think that what I say is to be done as I'm not paying you or you work for me and there are newer games with newer features coming out so I completely understand also I should take into consideration that you have your own life to leave.
Thank you very, much.
PS I'm taking some Free Tutorials for Pascal, I'm wondering how long will it take to get to your Level and How Long it took to perfect Replace FormID script?
Also I the ESP I'm doing I plan on Bundling it with the Tutorial so people may not have to got through what I did.

It took me probably about a day to make the Replace FormID script. It's one of the simpler scripts in this repository. I had been making scripts for at least a year by the time I made it though. It may take awhile for you to feel comfortable enough writing code to update the script, but the time required really depends on how much you invest into practicing/getting better. You could, in a span of a few weeks learn enough to update the script for your needs.
