📋 About This Mod
Command-line tool for introspecting OpenMW installations.
`vfstool` is a command-line utility for interacting with OpenMW's virtual file system (VFS). It allows users to locate files, serialize the VFS to various formats, extract files, and even collapse the VFS into a single directory for space savings, and to reuse OpenMW's feature set for other games.
- Collapse the VFS: Create a set of hardlinks or symbolic links for the entire VFS in a target directory.
- Extract Files: Extract specific files from the VFS to a given directory.
- Find Files: Locate files in the VFS by name, extension, or other criteria.
- Serialize the VFS: Output the VFS structure in JSON, YAML, or TOML formats.
- Filter Remaining Files: Identify files in a directory that are replaced or not replaced by the VFS.
The --collapse feature in particular is exceptionally useful! It can be used to save space in a properly modded and well-established OpenMW installation, or to use openmw.cfg for modding other non-morrowind games! With VFSTool, the world is your oyster, and you can find files within, or examine your setup, far better than ever before.
It's my hope that vfstool is built upon by other tools or ultimately used by OpenMW players to help better debug their setups. It's available on macOS, Windows, and Linux.
