Bat file installer for Fallout 4 - Texture Optimization Project by torcher

1. 0. 3 is now uploaded.

it does everything that was previously done, but now you must drag a folder to select where to save the backups or to tell the bat file where the backups are to restore. (this was a requested feature)

READ THIS PART IF NOTHING ELSE:

You need archive2 which you can get from bethesda as part of the fallout 4 creation kit You can get that HERE

you need to make a free account to login and download, and after installing

you would usually  find the ARCHIVE2 folder in:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Bethesda.net Launcher\Games\Tools\"

archive 2 is sometimes located in your fallout 4 folder after installing the creation kit.

which is usually:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fallout 4\Tools"

The T. O. P folder has to be in the same hard drive as your fallout game. (if your fallout is installed to D:\ then the t.o.p folder needs to be on D:\)

Just follow the instructions on screen when you run the bat file and you should be golden.

Change power shell to CMD window if needed.

YOU DO NOT NEED TO READ ANY MORE, BUT THE INFO IS HERE FOR YOU

----------------------

Some other info:

Windows has security features in place so the 1st thing it can do that may cause an issue is to block apps that came from a diferent computer.

You can check this by right clicking the bat file then going to properties. if you see an un-block option in the bottomr right corener.. then that is probably your issue.. just unblock it and run it normaly. do not run it as an administrator..

The reason i say do not run as an admin is because of the second windows issue..

UAC will not allow an elevated bat file to interact with a non elvated app "explorer.exe is not elivated" this means at the very least you cannot drag and drop the folders to get the locations. at the worst it would mean that apps that need to run to do the work will also be unable to function proerly..

So Do not run as an admin, and do un-block the bat.. if you cannot unblock the bat then scrll down and find the code from the bat file in this description and copy and past it in to a text file and save it as a bat file..

Additional notes: READ ME:

Some people have had to change the permisiions on the fallout 4 data folder to allow read and write access.

I have now added this functionality as default behaviour to the bat file. i have also added atrib
