BSA creation

[Tonycubed2]

Is this the right forum for BSA questions? I looked at the choices and this seemed the best.

Are there any tutorials on making a BSA file for skyring? Trying ot make it easier to distribute my one mod.

In the CK, click File -> Create Archive.

The CK will automatically look for the files you used and add them to the list.Sometimes, it will not add some of the files, so it is advised that you do it manually. Just drag the files you want from your folders to the list.

Ok, tried that with mix results. It does indeed create a bsa file with all the scripts. But even though the sounds I added to the game are listed as being part of the export to bsa, they do not make it into the bsa. It matters not if I drag and drop them to the windows, either way they do not get packed...

This may be of interest and I believe relevant to the problem you're experiencing. The article mentions how scripts do not get added and how, if they are added into a BSA they do not work.

Modified vanilla scripts in BSAs do not work.

Lilith, thanks for the info. In my case, it does not apply , but good stuff to know.

There is a way, there are several mods out that add sounds to skyrim and do so with a bsa file. I belive one of them is posted at tes. Maybe I can email the author..

update: tried again with the kit. This time it DID save the wav files. Flaky software.

Flaky indeed, and FYI, it appears as though that BSA issue has been fixed in the 1.4.27 beta patch. Stealth mode even, because it's not in the change log
