Metadata File Structure

The root of a metadata file is a key-value map. LOOT will recognise the following keys, none of which are required. Other keys may also be present, but are not processed by LOOT.

.. describe:: bash_tags

  string list

  A list of Bash Tags that are supported by the masterlist's game. These Bash Tags are used to provide autocomplete suggestions in LOOT's metadata editor.



.. describe:: globals

  message list

  A list of message data structures for messages that are displayed independently of any plugin.


.. describe:: plugins

  plugin list *and* plugin set

  The plugin data structures that hold all the plugin metadata within the file. It is a mixture of a list and a set because **no non-regex plugin value may be equal to any other non-regex plugin value** , but there may be any number of equal regex plugin values, and non-regex plugin values may be equal to regex plugin values.If multiple plugin values match a single plugin, their metadata is merged in the order the values are listed, and as defined in :ref:`plugin-merging`.

The message and plugin data structures are detailed in the next section.

Example

 bash_tags:
   - 'C.Climate'
   - 'Relev'
 globals:
   - type: say
     content: 'You are using the latest version of LOOT.'
condition: 'version("LOOT", "0.5.0.0", ==)'
   plugins:
     - name: 'Armamentarium.esm'
       tag:
         - Relev
     - name: 'ArmamentariumFran.esm'
       tag:
         - Relev
     - name: 'Beautiful People 2ch-Ed.esm'
       tag:
