Ironman5000 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 When I mod with Oblivion using the Construction Kit Extender I can select my assets through either loose files or the BSA, meaning I can pre-prepare my archive without worrying about cluttering my data folder. I don't see an option with the CK, so does anyone know any sort of add-on 'extender' that has been made for this? It would make things so much more convenient for me.

IsharaMeradin Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 The only way would be to extract the BSA data to a clean folder and make an archive that you can install or uninstall on whim with a mod manager. I do that with SKSE scripts and DLC source scripts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironman5000 Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 (edited) Edit: Nevermind I get it now. That is one way, but I am curious to know if the option to choose assets straight from BSA files is available somewhere.

IsharaMeradin Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 No. While you can add the BSA to the archive list on the INI file for the CK and view existing objects, the window used to locate NIFs and other assets for the CK is a standard Windows file selector. Windows is unable to read into BSA files, so you have to drop the loose data into the data folder in order to physically select it for use.

Ironman5000 Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 I know by default that is the case, but anyone who used Oblivion CSE would know what I mean - for instance you click 'edit' to choose a nif and a window pops up with options including "select from disc" (loose) and "select from archive" (bsa). I figured by now someone would try to make an extension for the CK somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eric31415 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) I read a recent post from the author of CSE. Now that Beth has "finished" the CK, he is going to start work on the extender for it. The post was a few months old, so i'd look for CKE soon.
