RotatePatcher 0.9Beta

by WH-Reaper

This program reads all your loaded mods, and attaches book rotate and weapon rotate scripts to all books and weapons without script using tes3cmd. Program automatically detects if you have Book rotate, Weapon rotate or both and creates new plugin files. Note: This program will only attach scripts to weapons and books which have vanilla model (or model replaced with pluginless replacer), as the attached script is dependant on the book/weapon model.

Book Rotate - Expanded.esp if you have Book rotate
Weapon Rotate - expanded.esp if you have Weapon rotate


You can also specify plugins that you do not want to check. To do this, write exact name of the mod along with it's extension to RotatePatcher_exception_list.txt. Typically, you do not want to check vanilla masters, as these are already patched by original Book rotate and Weapon rotate. Same goes for big patches like MPP (you only want to attach scripts to new books and books modified by some plugin that otherwise rewrites changes done by original Book rotate and Weapon rotate).
If you lost exception list, do not worry, the application has pre-defined built-in list that can be used

Requirements:

tes3cmd - you need to have tes3cmd in your data files folder.
Book rotate mod and Weapon rotate mod (you can have both or only one of them).

Use:

Copy RotatePatcher.exe, bookrotate.pl, bookrotate_tribunal.pl, bookrotate_bloodoom.pl, weaponrotate.pl and RotatePatcher_exception_list.txt to Data files folder and launch RotatePatcher.exe. Wait for the application to finish and exit.

If you use merged objects, you should regenerate them now and load them AFTER Book Rotate - Expanded.esp and Weapon Rotate - expanded.esp.

If you are re-generating Book Rotate - Expanded.esp and Weapon Rotate - expanded.esp, delete the old files first.

Thanks:

Huge thanks to abot for his Animated Containers Expansion Generator (aceg), which gave me this idea, for allowing me to take a peek at his code and for his numerous advices regarding perl scripts and regular expression patterns. Without him, this application could never be created. THANKS!

Thanks to john.moonsugar for creating tes3cmd, which is necessary for this application to work.
