BSA Auto Extract

BSA Auto Extract

---

I like to work with ModOrganizer 2 and I like to merge mods using Merge Plugins xEdit Script. I've found that the best way to merge mods while working with MO2 is by first extracting all the BSAs into the mod folder so I created this application to make it easier.

When working with MO2:

After you install the mod run this program to extract the BSAs for any mods you wish to merge or all mods if you prefer.

Just navigate to the mods folder (ie: D:\Games\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\ModOrganizer\mods) .

Find the folder for the mod(s) you want to extract BSAs for and either drag the mod folder or the individual files from within the mod folder into this app.

Or you can just drag the ModOrganizer mods folder into this app to extract the BSAs for all install mods.

Click the extract button an your done.

When manually installing mods:

When manually installing modes the best way to manage them is to have a "mods" folder where you extract all the mods you download so you can easily manage the files. If you're using that method then you can use this app to extract any or all the BSAs before copying them to your game Data folder. If you already have all your mods install then you can navigate to the data folder (ie: D:\Games\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Skyrim Special Edition\data) and drag the BSAs you want to extract into this app and click the extract button. I wouldn't recommend extracting all the base game BSA file (Skyrim - Animations.bsa etc) but you can if you like.

When working with NMM:

Currently this app doesn't have a way to work with NMM do to the way NMM handles mods. I don't plan on adding support for NMM since Vortex (the replacement for NMM) is do out soon. Vortex may make this program obsolete.  If not I may add support for Vortex once it's out.

The application is very simple to use.

To add files or folder:

Click the add files button to display a dialog box to select BSA or BA2 files to add to the list.

Click the add folder button to display a dialog box to select folders to add to the list.

Drag files or folders into the items list.

To remove items from the list:

Click remove files button to remove any selected items from the list.

Click the clear list button to clear the list.

To control how subfolders are processed:

Check the "Process Sub Folder" box to have all BSA and BA2 files in all subfolder extracted

If the "Process Sub Folder" box is unchecked only the BSA and BA2
