Packing a mod up to upload to the Nexus

[Encryption767]

Hey all, I am having a difficult time trying to gather up all of the required files for a mod I have made. The archive utility in the CK itself doesnt work and doesnt look like it even identifies all of the required files properly and TesFiles moves my esp to its own directory fine but make an empty bsa instead of packing up required files.

 

So I have looked around a little reading various topics on this and seems that most suggest TesFiles for the job and since its not working for me then does someone know why it would be making a 1kb empty bsa or does anyone have another alternative I could check out.

 

Thanks in advance.

The "Create Archive" function in Creation Kit seems broken at the moment. However, if you choose to upload to the Steam Workshop, it WILL create a working bsa-package (and you can then cancel the actual upload to steam if you want).

 

Just be aware that it tend to forget some files (at least for me), so go through and drag-drop the (missing) files you need into the archive window. It will ignore unknown file types (i think) and files that are already added.

Thanks for the reply and doing it that way does seem to make an archive. But my biggest problem is that I have about 7-8gb worth of mods installed to my data folder and some have made changes to world space so im having big issues trying to see what files are mine and what files arent. Also I noticed that it is not getting all of the script files I have either made or have made changes to. All in all it is probably showing about 10% of what I changes and fishing through so much data to pick out each file is a bit much right now. Was really looking for a program like TesFiles but one that worked.
