Elias555 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 It keeps crashing everytime I try to unpack a texture. The texture is unpacked at 0kb.Is there a recent version I could try out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surilindur Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 You can use BSAopt by Ethatron: http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/247/ It has never failed me this far, so I can definitely recommend it. I myself use the 2.0.0 beta (16 December 2012), but you can try the beta 2 also if you want, I have not yet used that version myself, but the plan is to test it at some point. All the contents inside a bsa are selected for extraction by default, so unless you want to extract the complete bsa, you need toopen the archive, select the topmost nodecheck "Show recursive", then click the red button to uncheck alluntick "Show recursive", and the browse and select the ones you want to extract, then extractHopefully that helps a little. I have never used that "BSA unpacker" thingy, so I cannot help with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elias555 Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 Worked to unpack everything but it didn't allow me to only select the files I wanted. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surilindur Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Did you try this: open the archive, select the topmost nodecheck "Show recursive", then click the red button to uncheck alluntick "Show recursive", and the browse and select the ones you want to extract, then extract It is possible to extract individual files. The program has all files selected by default, and you need to do that to unselect the ones you do not want. At least with 2.0.0 beta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elias555 Posted June 24, 2016 Author Share Posted June 24, 2016 I missed the show recursive part but I did all else. Good to know for future references. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surilindur Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Okay, gret if you now managed to do it. It got me by surprise the first time, too. The "show recursive" is necessary since the red and green button only affect all files visible in the lower list, so unless it is ticked, none of the files are affected unless they happen to be at the root (data folder) which probably never (or seldom) happens. Maybe it was mentioned in the readme or something, but I did not read it, either, and went poking around the first time. Managed to extract a few complete vanilla bsa archives before I realised that trick. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NexusComa Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I'm not so sure a person should be decompiling / "unpacking" other people's work ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surilindur Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) For example when going to modify vanilla assets, or use modders' resources packed in a bsa (like the Vicn creature pack), unpacking them is mandatory. Also, it is possible that someone has packed in an unrelated file that needs to be removed (some older mods include the SKI player load game script, which they should not), or if someone just wants to have a look at a script source file that has been packed in a bsa file. For example all my scripted mods include the source code in their bsa archive, so people can review it if they want. Or that is how I would view unpacking bsa archives... I think.
