BSA Not Loading

[kitsuneshoujo]

So I tried to make a BSA out of a large mod using the CK's archive program, and they won't load in the game... is there something I did wrong, or does this not work that well? Is there something better to use?

 

I opened up my new bsa file and there are textures and meshes in there. The esp has the same name as the bsa and bsl files too.

How big is that BSA?

 

Mine break if I go over the 2GB limit. I rolled my own texture pack and ended up having to split it into three files.

 

Also, the names have to match exactly -> modname.esp >>> modname.bsa

1.52 gigs when I click on it in windows.

 

And the names do match exactly, I even copy and pasted them.

 

I just tried to repack it and it says its deleting empty file directory \data

 

The root dir is set to Data

 

Should I have retain dir names and file names checked?

I always have those two options checked, yes (and the relevant meshes/textures/sounds tickboxes)

 

And I never try to update\repack - it always messes up for me. I just delete and build a new one.
