Community Patch - Shared Imports

witcher-3 — Mods & Enhancements

This is a foundational mod that exports all shared class definitions, enums, and global variables from the game's script files into a single, clean package — without adding any gameplay changes. It acts as a dependency for dozens of other mods (e.g., 'W3EE', 'Ghost Mode', 'Enhanced Targeting') to call these same classes without duplicating code, dramatically reducing merge conflicts and script compile errors. Players install it as a mandatory prerequisite when running multiple script-heavy mods that would otherwise overwrite each other's class definitions.

🎯 Tips & Tricks

Check if your mods require this exact version

Open the 'mods/modSharedImports/content/scripts' folder and verify the file 'sharedImports.ws' exists. If a mod like 'W3EE' says 'Requires Shared Imports v1.2+', ensure your version is newer — compare the 'version' line in the mod's 'meta.xml' file.

Place it first in the mod load order

In Vortex, set the load order so this mod is ABOVE all other script mods (e.g., 'W3EE', 'Enhanced Targeting'). In the mods.settings file, add this line under '[modSharedImports]': 'Priority=0' to force it to load before everything else, preventing class redefinition errors.

Use it to fix script merge conflicts manually

When using Script Merger, if you see 'Duplicate class definition' errors, delete the duplicate classes from the conflicting mod's 'scripts' folder and leave only the ones in Shared Imports. Then in Script Merger, select 'Use Shared Imports' for those classes — this resolves 90% of merge failures.

🔧 Troubleshooting

Game crashes on startup with 'Invalid class' error when using 'W3EE' and 'Ghost Mode' together, because both define their own 'playerWitcher' class.

Remove the 'playerWitcher.ws' file from both mods' script folders. Then download the 'Shared Imports W3EE Patch' from Nexus, which re-adds a unified 'playerWitcher' class that references Shared Imports' base definitions. Place this patch AFTER both mods in load order.

Script Merger keeps failing to merge 'sharedImports.ws' with 'Enhanced Targeting' because both modify the 'targetingSystem' class.

Open Script Merger, select the conflict between the two, and choose 'Use file from Shared Imports' for the 'targetingSystem' class. Then manually edit 'enhancedTargeting.ws' to replace its 'targetingSystem' class with a call to 'sharedImports.targetingSystem' — this avoids duplication.

⚠️ Common Mistakes

Players often install this mod but forget to uninstall older versions of 'Community Base' mods, which still contain duplicate class definitions — this causes hidden conflicts that only appear after 10+ hours of gameplay when a script fires.
A common error is placing this mod in the 'Optional' folder of a mod manager, which disables it from loading — then other mods fail to compile, and the user blames the wrong mod instead of checking that Shared Imports is actually active.
