WhiskeyRiver2 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 I'm trying to push out an update for Modern Firearms over on Beth.net, but the damn CK keeps choking whenever I try to rebuild the archive (which I need to do because we added some new stuff that won't work otherwise). Does anyone know if it's possible to build a .ba2 archive outside the CK? Or can you shed any light on why this might be happening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetroDaddy Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 I had the issue once, it was a corrupted ba2 file of my mod creation. To fix it I had to go into the data directory and delete the previous ba2 file created for my mod and then reload my esm file and re change one thing, save and then push it to Bethesda.net again. It worked for me, not sure if you are having the same issue as I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiskeyRiver2 Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 (edited) The previous .ba2s (at least for the PC version) have already been removed. I'll try the "change one thing, see if it works" trick though. Edit: Didn't work... God damnit! Edited June 26, 2016 by WhiskeyRiver2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabaManda Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 There is Archiver2.exe inside FA 4 folder.I am also having problems packing textures, and tried that. I was surprised it worked. Tested even on XB1 and it works packed like that. I was getting error something like "Skipped. Archiver can not pack files because it is unknown format" or something like that. It was ,DDS file, and same process worked for me before, so I was puzzled. It is FA4 folder -- Tools -- Archive2 -- Archiver2.exe or something similar (writing from laptop, I don't have files here to check, but you will find it easy) Hope that will help you.

WhiskeyRiver2 Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 Tried it, just ran into the same error message you got. What the f*#@... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabaManda Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 You got this error from archiver2.exe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiskeyRiver2 Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 The first time, yeah. Just got it to work. When you're packing textures, change the format from default to .DDS or XBoxDDS -BEFORE- you add any files, and it should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabaManda Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 That is what I just wanted to ask if you tried that :) I knew that. So now it is working ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiskeyRiver2 Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 Still testing the archives to make sure I didn't leave anything out, but so far so good. Thanks man. Didn't even know that tool existed til you mentioned it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabaManda Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 No worries. Glad I could help.I found that because I was desperate. I am having that problem since they added PS4 support. Found solution 2 days ago. I was thinking I am going crazy, doing all the same as before, and out of blue it started to throwing me that error. And so frickin illogical error. I even reinstalled PS because I thought he is messing .DDS files somehow when saving :P Found it by accident, saw .exe so I tried, when bingo, program opened. And best thing it worked. I have other strange problems too, but I will wait until next CK update. If then same problems persists after update, then I will ask, maybe you will help me then :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
