JohnnyQuest101 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 When I packed one of my BSA files it added a users file and I don't know why. Users\name\desktop\data\desktop.ini open the ini it states [LocalizedFileNames]AST_PortalTeleport.psc=@AST_PortalTeleport.psc,0 I do have an AST_portal script but not for this mod nor did I pack it. This mod was packed with ac_portalteleport.pex. I have no idea how AST_PortalTeleport.psc=@AST_PortalTeleport.psc,0 was packed into a user file. It wasn't part of the Data files I packed. I watched a video a long time ago that stated to pack all files needed manually. In this case a folder for each textures, meshes and scripts then put them in a data folder on the desktop. Use the archive tool in the skyrim se tool directory. Check 1. compress Archive, 2. retain directory names and finally 3. retain file name. Can someone tell me why the user file showed up? Not sure If I did something wrong, or if it is supposed to be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghaunadaur Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Desktop.ini is a windows file that contains folder information, eg. folder icon. This is not supposed to be packed with the BSA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check 1. compress Archive, 2. retain directory names and finally 3. retain file name. The files I packed were meshes, textures and scripts. The question is why did the tool add it?

Ghaunadaur Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Normally the desktop.ini files are hidden, so it might not show up in your Data folder. I'm not sure if that's the problem, but to change it, go to windows control panel - folder options - show hidden files. I don't think it will harm to leave it in the BSA either.
