[RELz] tes3cmd, a small tool for modifying TES3 plugins : III - Morrowind

» Mon Aug 23, 2010 8:44 pm

The construction set allows you to apply the search and replace to all cells at once, if you deselect the option that says to apply to the current cell. Or did you mean something else?

HA! I did not know that. Well... you learn something new every day

That will certainly save me some time

Would be be possible to be able to batch change all helmets from full to open face? I sometimes play as Sabregirls pharlan race and they are beasts but still have a humanoid face so it's irritating not being able to wear full helms.

Possibly, but I'm not familiar with the procedure as I've never tried that. If you could tell me the manual procedure, I might be able to tell you how to do it, or if it's possible.

Good evening!

I've got a minor (but annoying) problem in my current game. SOME mod has added an autocalced spell, and now every NPC is casting it. It's nothing like the Brittlewind issue, it's not really doing anything, but it IS wrong (and annoying). Could I get TES3CMD to parse through all my mods and spit out a list of all the spells (or ideally all the AUTOCALCED spells)? That would help me narrow the search considerably.

Rochndil, who THOUGHT he had found (and eliminated) the problem...but was wrong.

This invocation would probably do what you are looking for:

tes3cmd dump -t spel -m autocalc *.esm *.esp

-t means only dump records of type SPEL
-m means match the given pattern

» Mon Aug 23, 2010 1:16 pm

Thanks!

tes3cmd dump -t spel -m autocalc *.esm *.esp

There's only one problem. It keeps barfing over the filespec, possibly because of format? Not sure, but if I specify a single filename, it works fine. But when I try to use any type of wildcard matching, it spits out:

Error opening "?.esm" for input (Invalid argument)
Error opening "*.esm" for input (Invalid argument)
Error opening "*.esp" for input (Invalid argument)

* would be correct for Windoze, referring to a string of indefinite length, but something isn't happy. Using 0.36, just downloaded a copy off the page. Do I need the SVN version?

Rochndil, so close, and yet so far...

Full helms replace head and and open helms only replace hair. At least I think that's right, but I can't check because steam is dumb and doesn't include the CS.

Greetings!

Full helms replace head and and open helms only replace hair. At least I think that's right, but I can't check because steam is dumb and doesn't include the CS.

Not to wander TOO far off-topic, but if you look over in the CS forum, there was a thread there about installing the CS for the steam version.

Rochndil, solving problems and getting closer to having things RIGHT...

Sorry, I thought Windows supported wildcard expansion. I guess you'll have to run the command separately for each of your plugins. Unless someone can tell us how to easily do wildcard expansion in Windows shell?

I understand the difference between open and full helms. What I don't understand is what you want to do. Maybe if you could explain how you would do the procedure for a single case, and what the expected result would be?

Windows does support it in most places, but I don't think there (at least, not that deep in a command, as the only parameter of CD it definitely does). A batch script using a for loop would probably work just fine, though.

I guess I don't quite understand what you are asking. Pharlans are beast race but have humanoid faces so anatomically speaking they should be able to wear full helms but can't being classified as a beast race. I want to be able to load all my plugins and change all helms to use the hair slot instead of the head slot so I can equip them on my pharlan instead of loading all of my plugins and changing every helm by hand.

tes3cmd isn't really quite set up to do something like that right now. But maybe in the next release I can make it easier to make patch plugins for this sort of thing. Right now, you could do it with the "modify" subcommand, add a small bit of custom perl code, and build up a patch by processing each of your plugins one at a time. I don't expect that anyone else but me would be able to figure that out though.

Good afternoon!

While I never did get the wildcard matching working, I think I DID find the source of the problem. At least, I found another source, there may yet be more. I wish more modders would think about inter-mod compatibility when creating their mods, that would save me a LOT of trouble.

Rochndil, remodding mods to try to get everyone to play nice together...

This is to announce a pre-release of a new overhauled version of tes3cmd (0.37)

Download tes3cmd-0.37-2010.07.01.7z from:
http://code.google.com/p/mlox/downloads/list

The highlights:
- tes3cmd is now tes3cmd.exe, you do not need to install Perl separately. Just run tes3cmd.exe by itself.
- tes3cmd will now do wildcard matching in filespecs (a/k/a globbing). [for Rochndil]
- slightly safer backup method when plugins are modified.
- most of the commands are overhauled and somewhat ... uh ... whizzier, underneath.
- new commands:
* clean: remove Evil GMSTs, junk cells, spurious AMBI/WHGT and more. [for tetchy]
* dump: prints records in special format ... for future features.
* modify: perform arbitrary batch manipulation of records. now more powerful.
* objdelete: delete items from cells.
* print: was the old dump command, now slightly leaner and faster.
* recover: repair corrupted files reporting "bad form" errors.

There's still a bit of testing that needs to be done. Consider 0.37 an "alpha" release. Caveat downloador. It may be a little broken in spots, but hopefully it's mostly not.
I'll have better documentation on the wiki soon, but it's somewhat self-documenting on the command-line: "tes3cmd help", except in cases where the docs lie.

Feedback welcomed and appreciated.

Brief Installation instructions: Just extract tes3cmd.exe from the .7z archive and put it somewhere (either in your %PATH% or in "Data Files", for example). To run it, do: Start -> Run -> cmd.exe to get a command prompt. "cd" to your Data Files directory, and try "tes3cmd help" to get a little help documentation.

Two questions.

1. How do I get tes3cmd to recognise spaces or do I need to rename the files to not have space? Because when I run files with spaces I get:

C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Morrowind\Data Files>tes3cmd clean Rise of House Telvanni.esm
CLEANING: Rise ...
Error, "Rise" name does not end in .esm/.esp/.ess

2. How do I stop tes3cmd from changing the name of the file? I get this error:

C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Morrowind\Data Files>tes3cmd clean zoops_book.esp
CLEANING: zoops_book.esp ...
Loading Master: morrowind.esm
Cleaned redundant WHGT from CELL: Vivec, Jobasha's Rare Books

C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Morrowind\Data Files>tes3cmd clean Rise of House Telvanni.esm
CLEANING: Rise ...
Error, "Rise" name does not end in .esm/.esp/.ess

My suggestion would be to try quotes:

tes3cmd clean "Rise of House Telvanni.esm"

Windows also has some rudimentary command line completion, so if you type the first part of the filename, then hit the TAB key, it should autocomplete with quotes, but make sure Windows guessed the correct completion.

2. How do I stop tes3cmd from changing the name of the file? I get this error:

C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Morrowind\Data Files>tes3cmd clean zoops_book.esp
CLEANING: zoops_book.esp ...
Loading Master: morrowind.esm
Cleaned redundant WHGT from CELL: Vivec, Jobasha's Rare Books
Error renaming "zoops_book.esp.tmp" to ".\Clean_zoops_book.esp" (Permission denied)

Permissions problems are due to the the security features on "Program Files" implemented since Vista. One solution would be to install the game outside of "Program Files" so that you have permission by default. You may also be able to disable UAC, although that sort of makes your system less secure, still some people do this. There's probably other ways to get around it, such as running as administrator, but maybe someone familiar with Windows can say.

I have just completed my first test of tes3cmd v0.37 (2010.07.01), and the results are mixed. Here's what I did:
Just like wheatthin, I performed my tests on http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1100327-relz-pozzos-rise-of-house-telvanni-v14/, simply because I know that mod in and out. I took Rise of House Telvanni.esm, converted it to an .esp file with http://wryemusings.com/#WryeMash (latest version), and renamed that file to "TES3cmd Test (RoHT).esp". I opened it in the Construction Set and saved right away. Then, I closed the Construction Set and opened "TES3cmd Test (RoHT).esp" with the http://planetelderscrolls.gamespy.com/View.php?view=other.detail&id=52 (latest version). The following Cells from Morrowind.esm, Tribunal.esm, and Bloodmoon.esm contained dirty AMBI and WHGT entries [using the spoiler tag to keep the post shorter):

Curiously, this Cell did not contain dirty AMBI or WHGT settings:
Mournhold, Plaza Brindisi Dorom
I suspect that to be a consequence of the Cell being set to behave like an exterior Cell.

Then I opened up the Command shell (cmd) and ran "TES3cmd Test (RoHT).esp" through tes3cmd. I'm using Windows XP. Here's tes3cmd's output:

Error renaming "TES3cmd Test (RoHT).esp.tmp" to ".\Clean_TES3cmd Test (RoHT).esp

So I manually renamed "TES3cmd Test (RoHT).esp.tmp" to "Clean TES3cmd Test (RoHT).esp" and opened it in the Enchanted Editor again. The result of tes3cmd's cleaning are somewhat mixed:
Most Cells were cleaned as intended, i.e. both AMBI and WHGT settings were removed. However, these Cells still contained dirty WHGT settings:

I've just uploaded a new version that should fix the error while renaming, and it should now clean these three cells. Had to fix the comparison between the int/float.

I'm not sure about the EE error, still testing on that.

Latest version tes3cmd-0.37-2010.07.04.7z from
http://code.google.com/p/mlox/downloads/list

Should fix the "clean" command so it doesn't munge cells occasionally, so the problem with cells crashing EE is hopefully fixed. If anyone wants to give it a try, please give me some feedback.

Here is something you can try:

tes3cmd clean "my mod.esp"
tes3cmd diff -o ne "my mod.esp" "Clean_my mod.esp"
(you can then compare the output .diff files with a nice application like http://winmerge.org/)

Note that the "-o" option for the clean command isn't implemented yet. Will do it soon.

» Mon Aug 23, 2010 8:17 pm

Latest version tes3cmd-0.37-2010.07.06b.7z from
http://code.google.com/p/mlox/downloads/list

The "clean" command is improved some more, and I think it is getting close to being safe to use by the general public. It now has the ability to clean redundant objects from cells (objects that are exact duplicates from its masters), which may be a unique feature (are there any other tools that can do that automatically?).

Anyone who would like to help test, please do! Please be careful though, this is still an "alpha" release and it may bung up your plugins.

Edit: I just updated it once again to 6b, which should make the clean -d (remove duplicates) safe, and so its now part of the default cleaning if no other cleaning options specified.

I am currently reloading all mods since my SSD suddenly froze 2 days ago (very hot inside last couple of days) and is under RMA today. Using old Raptor drive and reloading all mods (lucky I save downloads on USB keys) until it gets replaced. I can easily reload mods very quickly since I use bash and the 7.z were also on a usb key.

I used your 7.4 revision to clean both tribunal.esm and bloodmoon.esm. I assume it is "safer" to use your tool than testool developed a long time ago. After cleaning, I need to use bash to reset master file dependencies on a lot of my mods which I find bash very useful for....however, it does affect mlox load order on some of the mods so I have to manually change the base mlox text file. I am quite willing to test the different versions if you would like me to do so...but I would need to know what you would like me to test for as I am not a mod maker.

I like the screen output of what it cleans as it is very informative but my only suggestion would be to print to a text file the results of the cleaning.

That does not sound like a good idea. I would recommend not cleaning the Bethesda masters. Also, that earlier version you used had some bugs, which are now fixed. The new version will now skip the Bethesda masters too. I recommend going back to the original versions of these files.

I assume it is "safer" to use your tool than testool developed a long time ago.

Well, I'm sorry to say but that's not a safe assumption until I announce it is ready for the general public.

After cleaning, I need to use bash to reset master file dependencies on a lot of my mods which I find bash very useful for....however, it does affect mlox load order on some of the mods so I have to manually change the base mlox text file.

You should never edit mlox_base.txt. Customizing load order can be done via mlox_user.txt, as explained in the documentation.

I like the screen output of what it cleans as it is very informative but my only suggestion would be to print to a text file the results of the cleaning.

You can have the output go to a text file by using output redirection. It looks like this:
tes3cmd clean "my plugin.esp" > output.txt

I just tested tes3cmd 0.37 2010.07.06b on two mods. The results are positive throughout: you did a great job with that version!
The first mod I tested was RoHT again. As in my previous test, I converted its .esm file to .esp and wantonly contaminated it by opening and saving it in the Construction Set. Then I ran it through tes3cmd. This time, it ran through without any error messages, and the result looks perfect. All dirty AMBI and WHGT entries have been cleaned, and every Cell is accessible with the Enchanted Editor.
Here's tes3cmd's output:

As you can see, I involuntarily tested the function to clean redundant objects too.

I don't even remember touching that container while working on RoHT.

As a second test, I had tes3cmd clean Ushindra Beach's latest WIP version. It begun its life as a Morrowind only mod and has recently gained Tribunal as its second master file, so it was extraordinarily dirty. The result was convincing as well: almost all dirty entries - including completely unchanged exterior Cells - were cleaned:

However, the completely unchanged *interior* Cell "Caldera, Guild of Mages" was left in. It was cleaned of AMBI and WHGT settings, but the Cell itself remained. :shrug: Here's a http://www.mediafire.com/?kmyocywqztg in case you'd like to check it. That's a minuscule issue, though. In addtion, the Enchanted Editor complained that the number of records was mis-reported in the file header. That's a minuscule issue too. Unless anybody finds a real issue with this version of tes3cmd, I'll keep it.

The cleaning functions are very good, and the function to clean out redundant references is the cherry on the cake. (It's unique to tes3cmd as far as I know.)
