Ishtar - Standalone Mod Merger

Standalone Mod Merger

Github page:

https://github.com/Code-Vein-Tool-Hub/Ishtar

Ishtar is a program for crating a merge patch for standalone mods. Since standalone mods

edit the same files so the game knows they exist this program exists to make all the new

entries in a single file.

About Ishtar 2. 0 and Merge Patches

Ishtar 2. 0 introduces some big changes to the program by adding a new merger.

this new merger uses . IshtarPatch files to tell the program what things need to be merged without having

to scan and unpack the whole mod reducing the merge time greatly.

These Ishtar Patch files can be manually generated using the "Make . IshtarPatch" button and included in within a mod

download or Ishtar will generate ones for existing mods while it's merging, this option can be disabled but patches

will only generate if the patch is missing or by checking the file hash to see if the existing patch is outdated. Leading

to a longer first merge but other merges will be much faster.

Parallel. ForEach removal.

Parallel for each is an asynchronous to do for each loops but i've had issues with loops being dropped/skipped

this lead to issue with the Asset Registry merger not registering all modded entries which is cause crashing

for things like standalone items/weapons. Of course normal for each loops are slower but won't cause crashing

issues and playing merging rng with ishtar.

Parallel. ForEach can still be enabled for pak scanning as this process is very slow depending on your mods, but there's always

a chance that mods might be skipped using this method so it is left optional in the options tab.

Requires . Net Framework 4. 8+

Download the zip file from the release tab NOT the green "Code" button on Github

or here on the nexus page.

Extract the zip file anywhere you like and run the Ishtar.exe, if you see an Ishtar.sln, you downloaded the wrong file.

change the path at the top to your "~mods" folder using the "..." button.

Then click the big merge tables button and wait for it to say "done" at the bottom of the log.

Uninstalling standalone mods mid game while your character is using them my cause issues. Using the mod online may also cause issues.

Always remember to make a backup save and or play offline whenever possible.
