ModCompanionApp
A companion app for various Fo76 mods.
Simple file changes listener to detect any new content in the file and execute mod specific logic.
At the moment it’s being used by ItemExtractorMod
Purpose:
Listens for the itemsmod.ini file creation/changes, that was created/modified by SFE and executes mod specific logic outside of the game itself.
For instance, this allows ItemExtractorMod to fix issues with append functionality, e.g. each time you’re extracting items from the game, this tool detects changes – copies file to a new location and merges previous & current item dumps into a single file (or multiple, depends on settings). Also allows you to anonymize data (encode your account/character names, item id’s).
Requirements:
Java 1.8
Usage:
Download archive
Unzip to any location you like
Start the app
Specify path to Fallout 76 Data folder, e.g. E:\BethesdaGames\Fallout76\Data (for Game Pass edition path may be different)
Update mod settings, if required
Click “Start” to start listening to the file changes
Note, if file is already created – this app won’t do anything until file will be updated.
You may launch this app at any moment (before game or already being in game).
Upon application work, there will be created couple directories(in the same directory, where application was started):
– output – holds few more directories, specific for each mod and holds inside mod specific output
– settings – application and mod settings, e.g. path to fo76 data
– logs – verbose logs of companion application
