BAIN Tools

Description

BAIN Tools (BAT) is designed for Wrye Bash users who like to build their own complex BAIN packages and for mod makers that want to create BAIN-ready packages for their mods.

BAIN Projects (Projects) are packages that have been extracted from their BAIN-ready archives and are what BAT operates on.

BAT is a tool that makes creating and managing your Projects easier than using Windows Explorer. In essence it helps you create and manipulate directories and files within the context of Projects and its Sub-Packages rather than the Windows file system.

Key Features

• Organize and manage your Projects and their component Sub-Packages
• Create new Projects and Sub-Packages
• Automate many of the tasks associated with Sub-Package numbering
• Create multiple Sub-Package options from an original containing several ESPs - Useful for creating choices
• Generate an ESP option Sub-Package to allow Meshes and Textures to be installed without the ESP
• Create separator Sub-Packages to make your Projects easier to understand and organize
• Sort all or selected Sub-Packages alphabetically - BAT takes care of the renumbering for you
• Generates a Wizard that will install the sub-packages you select in BAT - takes into account new and deleted sub-packages
• Background detection of downloaded mods with automatic extract and moving Data-named folder contents up one level to comply with BAIN format (eg Data\Meshes becomes Meshes)
• Group your BAT managed BAIN Projects to match your usage of Wrye Bash Markers in the Installers tab.
