tes3cmd safety

[BadCompany]

So i did a reinstall after finally commin back to morrowind. Anyway I see that there is now tes3cmd for cleaning mods, and i was wonderin if there's anything in my load list that jumps out as "dont clean". Any help would be much appreciated!

Just use escog if you want to check out for self and remember escog only remove dirty GMST's not clean a mod, but I guess that would be better than nothing I suppose.

This link takes you to both mlox and tes3cmd - http://code.google.com/p/mlox/downloads/list

[BadCompany]

Okay, I tried using the batch file below (by RMWChaos)

:START

REM *********************************************************************************
REM ***** "Drag-and-Droppable" TES3CMD Cleaning Batch / CMD File *****
REM ***** by: RMWChaos ver. 2011.05.22-02.33 *****
REM ***** original concept by: Pinkertonius *****
REM *********************************************************************************
REM *
REM * TO SETUP ...
REM *
REM * 1. Download TES3CMD v0.37o from:
REM * http://mlox.googlecode.com/files/tes3cmd-0.37o-2010.08.20.7z
REM *
REM * 2. Unzip TES3CMD to your "\Morrowind\Data Files" directory
REM *
REM * 3. Create a new "T3Clean.txt" file in the same directory
REM *
REM * 4. Copy the entire contents of this code into the text file and save it
REM *
REM * 5. Rename the text file with a ".bat" or ".cmd" extension (either works)
REM *
REM * 6. *OPTIONAL* Create a SHORTCUT to the batch file on your desktop
REM *
REM *********************************************************************************
REM *
REM * The cleaned plugin will take the place of the old 'dirty' plugin and the old
REM * plugin will be backed up to "\Data Files\tes3cmd\backups" by default.
REM *
REM * A log file called "<plugin.name>-cleaned.log" will also be created in the
REM * same "\Data Files\tes3cmd\backups" folder by default.
REM *
REM *********************************************************************************
REM *
REM * Tribunal.esm and Bloodmoon.esm will use a different cleaning method so as not
REM * to remove required GMSTs, and tes3cmd may ignore (not clean) other mods
REM * based on its own internal code.
REM *
REM *********************************************************************************

REM *********************************************************************************
REM ***** MOD CLEANING STEPS *****
REM *********************************************************************************
REM *
REM * First, make sure the mod master dependencies are already located in the
REM * "\Data Files" folder, or THE MOD WILL NOT BE CLEANED !!
REM *
REM * TO RUN ...
REM * Drag ESP/M files onto the shortcut, .bat, or .cmd file to clean mods.
REM *
REM * CLEANING ORDER ...
REM * 1. Official masters (i.e. Tribunal.esm and Bloodmoon.esm)
REM * 2. Mod masters (e.g. GIANTS.esm, etc.)
REM * 3. Mod plugins that are a Master to another Plugin
REM * 4. Mod plugins relying on Official Masters, Mod Masters, or Plugin Masters
REM * 5. All other plugins without master dependencies
REM *
REM * DO NOT CLEAN MOD "CONTROL FILES" ...
REM * Files such as "GIANTS Ultimate Control File.esp" intentionally contain
REM * records duplicated from their mod master, and should not be cleaned.
REM *
REM *********************************************************************************


REM *********************************************************************************

Now I put the .bat and .exe in C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Morrowind\Data Files, yet when i drag an esp/esm on the .bat the cmd prompt reads:

I fixed it! For some reason i had to manually create the tes3cmd\backups folders in my data files

If you're running Vista or Windows 7, it helps to install your games somewhere besides the Program Files directory.

[Leonardo]

If you're running Vista or Windows 7, it helps to install your games somewhere besides the Program Files directory.

Yes it's recommended to do that especially if you're using Vista since it's a lot tougher to solve if you have an issue, but you need to turn off UAC in both Vista, Windows7 if you want to have Morrowind installed in any C:\Program Files(x86) related folders due to the UAC restrictions. You also need to have tes3cmd.exe in the Data Files folder to make it work properly, but if you use Yacoby's WMSA then you can skip the bat file since he had implemented a tes3cmd UI on the mods tab in WMSA.
