TES4files

[TheRomans]

Does anyone know where to get TES4files (deleted Nexus file 8489)?
Or has that tool been depreciated?

[Pellape]

Honestly, I never heard of TES4Files and maybe I did miss something? ;) I do have TES4ALL, TES4Edit and TES4gecko saved.

[DrakeTheDragon]

TES4Files, if I recall correctly, was what scanned through a selected plugin (or more?) and copied every referenced resource file (loose files) out of your Data folder, ready to clean and pack up into a mod archive.

 

Chances are good it was included as an optional feature/function in one of the later tools of the TES4... family, but I don't know.

I started to peek around among all my files after I read Drakes useful answer.

 

I did find a program inside the Optional folder of TES4EDIT called Dump, or rather TES4Dump. I do not know if it is this you are looking for. I ran the program and managed to catch this text from it. I do hope it will give a clue about how to use this program? I guess it will be useful anyway really.

E:\Program\Oblivion 2\TES4Edit 4_0_3-11536-4-0-3-1575327604\Optional>TES4Dump.exe > Dump.txt
TES4Dump 4.0.3

Thanks

[Pellape]

If it was the right one, you are welcome for sure. Was it the one you where looking for?

[TheRomans]

Have not tried it yet,

thanks

[DemonDomain]

I've tried to look around the web and am also needing the actual TES4Files as nothing else really serves the purpose
I tried the TES4Dump but it just pops and disappears from my screen, i tried bsa commander, tes4gecko and none of those have the capability to do what TES4Files is advertised to be capable of(picking the nifs and textures itself and pack them up into a bsa file)
Even tried the wayback machine and while that showed me the page, the dl for TES4Files wastn archived
