brazenvoid Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Is there an utility available which can tell me the types of records inside an esp or esl? I only need to know whether the esp or esl is just being used for ba2 loading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouDoNotKnowMyName Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 xEdit is the tool to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brazenvoid Posted August 3, 2021 Author Share Posted August 3, 2021 (edited) Thanks for the suggestion. Though it is a GUI Utility, I need a CLI to query this information from a script. I couldn't find any information in lieu of that. There are manuals but they all concern the GUI. Edited August 3, 2021 by fpga123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thousande Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Not out of the box, but zEdit uses a JavaScript wrapper for xEdit's library.It is 'standalone' and should be import-able in a node js cli application xelibhttps://github.com/z-edit/xelib I think there are wrappers for other technologies out there too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ingrained problem with them is that they load all the masters and can't display records of the plugin without them. My mod may have need to analyse 50 or more mods per session. This alone coiuld take a considerable amount of time on top of the hours it already takes in its process. And frankly I don't need to know what is in the records, I only need to know the number and type of top level records present, no need for deep analysis.
