[Enhancement] Option to disable generating Large Ref data when using version control. #16

Not high priority but would be a nice to have.

When using version control, if you take a Worldspace override and merge it up into an .esm, during the merge itll regenerate Offset Data and Large Ref data for the worldspace in the Destination .esm file.

If possible could you add a toggle in the .ini file to either:

  1. Disable specifically Large Reference data generation
    or
  2. Condition it such that it only generates Large Reference data if there is none in the destination .esm for a given worldspace

The CK generates this data horribly wrong and outright fixing that would be significantly more complicated. There is an xEdit script that can generate the data properly. My use case is I want to setup the Target .ESM file with correct Large Ref data, and have the CK not touch it, such that when i merge in a worldspace override it only generates the Offset Data.

If you want to look into actually fixing the large ref data generation i can walk you through the details, but it's pretty complex. Outright disabling it, with a toggle, would be far simpler.

Its got its own .cpp under i believe bgslargerefdata.cpp

Edit: Oh this is just for Skyrim. Fallout 4 supports Large Ref data, but the game by default doesn't utilize this feature.
