file directory change... a easy way?

[DsoS]

anyone know if there is a way to change file directory of custom meshes easily? currently my file directory is meshes/malamath/ (same for sounds, icons, textures, etc) I would like to change it to /meshes/dsos/malamath

I really don't want to have to go to each of my custom items in the CS and have to redo all the locations, as you know its a pain the first time around, especially with 30+ custom items.

Only 30 items?!! That is a walk in the park.

I have heard of a utility that will mass change the paths in NIF's but I never used it so I don't know what its called. I am sure somebody will know.

[InsanitySorrow]

For the NIFs you can use Texture Replacer, never used it so I'm unsure how easy it is to use. Not sure what can be done about the CS though.

[DsoS]

kk ill check it out and see what I can do.

Its actually well over 30 items.

*full set of recolored glass armor

*all glass weapons recolored

*a recolored Knights of whatever Staff from SI

*one of each of Meo's Ayleid Clutter (bowls, plates, cups, vases, forks, etc)

*Vypers extended Ayleid Tile Sets

*Several things from DaMage

*19 Icons that IS did for me (Thanks a bunch) (Found the problem, the dds plugin thingy was corrupted, I reinstalled it and it started working again )

*recolored welkynd stone cluster

*a big circle garden thingy from one of the cities

*several recolored traps

*and the countless other things I can't think of.

Doing it manually may be your only option, I'm not sure there's a batch way of doing such a broad variety of custom items. Your list actually seems small, yeah it's a bit of a hassle, but that's just modding for ya. Sometimes you just have to do some mind numbingly repetitive stuff to get to the polished finish you desire. Good Luck

I figured there wasn't a batch program, was hoping that like Gecko or one of the others could make it a bit easier.

anyway thank you for all the replies and help.

It happens to me everytime I use custom resources as well. It's a bother, indeed. If you have many, though, I'd say to change the path as soon you want to use them. Doing it all in the end can be rather tiresome.

The only thing I wish the CS had regarding new meshes, would be that the browser does not return back to the "Meshes" folders each time. I'd love if it would stay at the previously opened folder. That way you wouldn't have to open the same folders again...and again...and again!

[DsoS]

well I already placed the Resources into my custom location, but I've decided I want to use dsos as a folder name and have my mods in that folder...

meshes/dsos/malamath

meshes/dsos/SoCO

meshes/dsos/CHoTW

then the same with textures, sounds, etc.

I think I found a way to do it, but just have to do a few things before I try it.

[DsoS]

I asked this while back and found another way other than the CS to do this, so I'm just posting this link to my tutorial for anyone who needs it and doesn't know the tutorial module exist.
