This system entirly overwrites any file it modifies, this means that you cannot overwrite a file twice or play on a diffrent branch than the mod was intended for. For example you cannot play with a PR for FAFBeta on FAFDevelop. Also you cannot play with 2 diffrent PRToMods that work with the same file.
While this script entirly overwrites any bp file it modifies, it is still merging the new file with the old. This means that if you remove a value from a BP file it will default back to the old value. This causes PRs like to not work in mod form. It sees the removal of
Prerequisite = 'Shield', and defaults to the current base game value of Prerequisite which is of course 'Shield', thus the mod does not work.
