Zoney Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Hello again! Today's approach that I would be interested in examining the feasibility of is this: Does a command line tool, or scripting capabilities for windowed application, exist to automate the extraction of specific files (in a list) from a BSA archive? This would be in order to provide new dialogue options but re-use the existing voice files, *and* avoid distributing them again with new filenames (any new infos for a mod have their voice files set to be from a folder of the mod's name). With the script or batch file for command line as described, one could one by one extract the relevant file for mod dialogue and copy it to the corresponding filename/location needed for the mod. No distribution of large quantities of voice files needed for fully voiced dialogue mod. Am I onto another flawed idea? TES4BSA and BSA commander seem to only offer complete BSA extraction for command line. I can't see that OBMM's scripts extend quite to what I'm looking for either. EDIT: Of course I could do the mad scientist approach, tell prospective mod downloaders to please ensure they have four Gigabytes of free space, then have my mod batch script call BSA extractor to extract the entire Voice BSAs to a temp folder, do the copy/renaming I need on the list of files I have, then delete the rest. I guess I would have to tell mod downloaders that installation might take some time... and to defrag hard drive after too... :-) Not exactly an ideal approach!
