Advanced Readme

Introduction Back to top

A companion to the General Readme, this document details those features that were omitted from the aforementioned readme. They are often more specialized, advanced or complicated, and many are geared more towards mod authors than mod users. This readme is also more technical and goes into more depth on how Wrye Bash functions. It assumes the reader has previously read the General Readme.

You can toggle the visibility of the tabs in Wrye Bash's main tab bar by right-clicking the tab bar and checking or unchecking the options in the context menu displayed.

Title Bar Info Back to top

As a quick note that doesn't really belong anywhere else, Wrye Bash's title bar contains some useful information. The title is formatted as:

[Application Name] [Bash Version] [Install Type] [Game Modifier]: [Save Profile] [Version Indicator]

The square bracketed information is:

[Application Name]: Wrye Bash if Use Alternate Wrye Bash Name is disabled, otherwise this will be a name based on the game Wrye Bash is managing (e.g. Wrye Smash for Skyrim).
[Bash Version]: This is the version number for the version of Wrye Bash running. Useful when troubleshooting.
[Install Type]: If the Standalone version is running, it will read (Standalone). If the Python version is running, this part is omitted. See the Installation section for more information.
[Game Modifier]: for [Game], where [Game] is the name of the managed game, if Use Alternate Wrye Bash Name is disabled. Otherwise, this is not displayed.
[Save Profile]: This is the name of the save profile Wrye Bash is currently using. By default it is Default.
[Version Indicator]: This is only displayed when Wrye Bash is running for Oblivion. It indicates the version of Oblivion.esm currently being used. This is related to the Oblivion.esm Swapping feature.

Advanced Installation Back to top

Alternative Install Locations Back to top

Wrye Bash can be installed in any folder, and actually if you do manage multiple games the preferred way of installing Bash is to have a single installation and redirect Bash via the command line and/or ini. But in this case you must tell Bash where the game folder is. Bash checks (in this order) the -o argument, the sOblivionPath ini option and the position of the Mopy folder (namely checks if Mopy's parent folder contains a supported game exe). The first of those three methods that yields a path to a supported game exe will "win" and this game will be used. But in case those options are not set or a supported game exe (NB: only exe name is checked) is not found using them, Bash reads the windows registry to find supported games. If no games are found in the registry Bash will notify you and exit. If one game is found then Bash will use that. If however more than one games are found Bash will prompt you to choose amongst those games.

So if you have installed Bash outside of a game folder (recommended for multi-game installs), and you don't want to be prompted (or your games do not figure in the registry) you have to either launch Wrye Bash with the -o argument or set the bash.ini sOblivionPath setting.

To set the OblivionPath bash.ini option:

Open bash_default.ini in the Mopy folder and save it as bash.ini.
In the new bash.ini, enter the full path of your game's installation folder (the one that contains the game's executable) for the sOblivionPath setting.
Save the edited bash.ini.

Alternatively, you can launch Wrye Bash with the -o argument, quoting the path as the argument's parameter. Note that backslashes must be doubled as Python treats a single backslash as an escape character. For example, "Wrye Bash Launcher.pyw" -o "C:\\Games\\Oblivion\\" if you are running Wrye Bash for Oblivion.

For more settings (such as changing the Wrye Bash Installers Path), please read the Bash_Default.ini.

Python Components Back to top

If you are installing the Python version of Wrye Bash and wish to install the Python dependencies separately, the following must be installed.

Note that the 64-bit versions are required - we no longer support 32-bit operating systems.

Python 3.9.2: Versions prior to this one may work with Wrye Bash, but have not been tested. Updating is recommended for bug and security fixes.

Installation is easiest by just using pip, which comes with Python (see above). Simply run path/to/python.exe -m pip install -r requirements.txt (obviously replacing path/to/python.exe with the actual path to your python.exe).

If you want to do it manually, the rest of this section will list out each dependency and what it's used for. Using the latest version of these is recommended. If that one doesn't work, use the newest version that does work.

Required libaries:

chardet: Used to detect character encodings for reading and writing encoded Unicode strings.
python-lz4: Used to read and write LZ4 data in saves and BSAs.
pywin32: Used to interact with Windows in various ways.
PyYAML: Used to parse YAML data, e.g. LOOT masterlists.
wxPython: Used for building Wrye Bash's GUI.

Optional libaries:

PyMuPDF: The doc browser will be able to display PDFs if this is installed.

Installers Tab Back to top

The User Interface In Detail Back to top

The Installers tab is split into three main sections: on the left is the Package List, and the right is split between the Information Tabs at the top and the Comments field at the bottom. The Information Tabs and Comments sections display information specific to the currently selected package. Much of the contents of the Information Tabs depends on the install status and order of the package. The information tabs are detailed in the table below.

Information Tabs
Tab	Description
General	Shows summary info and the files to be installed, as determined by sub-package, plugin, voice filtering, etc.
Matched	Shows files which are identical to current Data directory files.
Missing	Files which are missing from the Data directory.
Mismatched	Files which are present in the data directory, but which aren't identical to the selected package's version of those files.
Conflicts	Shows which other packages will conflict the current package and for what files. Note that if a given file is mismatched, but the mismatch isn't due to other packages, then it won't appear. This report can be modified to show inactive conflicts and lower order conflicts by enabling the Show Inactive Conflicts and Show Lower Conflicts options respectively.
Underidden	Shows packages which should be overridden, but are not, due to install order errors. This can be corrected by running Anneal or Anneal All.
Dirty	Shows files which the selected package previously installed, but which now should be removed or altered due to a reconfiguration of the package. Dirty files can be cleared by running Anneal or Anneal All.
Skipped	Shows which files in the selected package were skipped by Bain.

The Comments field is provided as an area in which notes may be kept on packages. It is useful for keeping track of what packages do, what your favourite install options are, etc.

BAIN Refresh Back to top

To perform its magicks BAIN needs to know what's inside two directories: the game Data/ directory and its subdirectories and the Bash Installers folder (where the packages are). The Data directory scanning is done once per run of Wrye Bash, when the Installers tab is first opened, because walking this potentially huge directory and checking sizes and modification times does take a while. The Bash Installers folder however will be scanned whenever the installers tab regains focus after losing it (ie. you select another program's window, then switch back to Wrye Bash, or you switch to another tab then back to installers tab). This automatic scanning just checks modification times and sizes of installers inside Bash Installers folder to decide if any package changed, and should usually be very fast (although noticeable). There is a catch however: this check is almost instantaneous for packages (archives) but for biggish projects takes a while as Bash needs to scan modification times and sizes for all files inside the project. To make this (automatic) scan faster two options are provided for projects: Don't Refresh (on the project's context menu) and Auto-Refresh Projects (on the global menu). If a project is affected by these options Bash will skip over it when scanning Bash Installers directory and changes inside the project's dir have to be detected manually. However the initial refresh (on booting BAIN) will ignore those skip flags and will scan all project directories for changes (comparing their sizes and modification times with the ones it loads from Installers.dat).

However, changes in files in the Data directory will have to be manually detected after initial refresh, as in this scenario:

Install a mod from some package.
Go to the installers tab. Note the package is marked green.
Go back to the mods tab and edit the mod using xEdit or the CK/CS/etc.
Return to the installers tab. The package is still marked green instead of being marked as out of sync with the data.

This is because, as already mentioned, the refresh of the game Data directory is performed once on boot, so modifying/deleting/adding files in the game directory will not be detected afterwards, except in some few scenarios - notably, deleting a plugin from inside Bash will notify BAIN (add more actions is in the TODOs).

BAIN provides several menu items for manually refreshing for the scenarios above (and others). What you most likely need is Quick Refresh. See also Full Refresh, Refresh Data and Refresh.

Technical: This situation is a limitation of our refresh model which is basically polling the directories for changes. We should switch to an event based refresh but the code is not yet ready (see relevant issue).

Skipped Files Back to top

BAIN skips the installation of some files and directories. The types of files skipped are:

Silent skips. These are not listed on the Skipped panel on the right and are:
- thumbs.db and desktop.ini files
- the omod conversion directory (omod conversion data, fomod) if on the top level of package or subpackage
- the wizard images directory (again if on the top level of package or subpackage)
- Developer files. Any file or directory that begins with '--' and is at the top level of a package or a subpackage will be silently skipped. This is so that mod authors can include files related to a mod that are not required for it to work (eg. screenshots) in packages.
- Bash will also skip voices for plugins that are not installed from complex installers
- Specified skips. There are a few options in BAIN to skip the installation of certain file types, namely the ones on the Global Skips submenu for all installers and Skip Voices (on a per installer basis). If any such options are enabled, the file type(s) in question will be silently skipped.
Non-standard directories. Standard directories include all the game's default directories (including those only found in BSAs by default) - see BAIN-Compatible installer layout for a detailed list per game. Files skipped because of this will be listed in the Skipped panel on the right on the == Skipped (Dir) section. Installation of non-standard directories may be forced by using the Has Extra Directories option. Even if Has Extra Directories option is checked, directories that are silently skipped will still be skipped. For a complex package, any top level files (with the exception of files that contain "readme" and variations in their name) will be also considered as belonging to a skipped directory and will be listed in the '== Skipped (Dir)' section. Top level means at the subpackages level, not inside a subpackage.
Archives & executables. Executable files, apart from Script Extender plugins if the Skip **SE Plugins option is disabled, and archives in packages will be skipped. Files skipped because of this will be listed in the Skipped panel on the right on the == Skipped (Extension) section. The complete list of extensions skipped is: .001, .7z, .7z.001, .ace, .bz2, .ckm, .db, .exe, .fomod, .gz, .lzma, .manifest, .omod, .py, .pyc, .rar, .tar, .tb2, .tgz, .zip This includes BCFs (they have a .7z extension) - still BAIN will detect those.
Plugin files that are not in top level of the package/subpackage. It makes no sense to have those files in a subfolder, so those are skipped.

The Plugin Filter Back to top

The Plugin Filter can be used to select which of the installer's plugins you actually want to install. It can also be used to install plugins using a different name, see the documentation for the Rename... option for more information about this.

Double-clicking on a plugin or using the Jump to Mod option on it will take you to that plugin's position in the Mods tab.

There are several more options available in the right click context menu, see the Plugin Filter Context Menu documentation for more information.

Skipped Data subdirectories and uninstall quirks Back to top

When scanning the contents of the Data folder BAIN will skip some of its subdirectories either by default or based on Global Skips in the installer tab. The directories skipped are:

Skipped Data subdirectories	Notes
Bash	`Data/Bash` directory that may contain Bash related data
--	If you create a `Data/--` directory it will be ignored by Bash - dump your cruft there
distantlod	If Skip DistantLOD is checked
meshes\landscape\lod	If Skip LOD Meshes is checked
textures\landscapelod\generated	If Skip LOD Textures and Skip LOD Normals are both checked
docs	If Skip Docs and Skip Images are both checked
Script extender	If Skip **SE Plugins is checked (see game specific below)
screenshots	If Skip Screenshots is checked
screens	See screenshots above
ss	See screenshots above
Skipped file extensions
.001, .7z, .7z.001, .ace, .bz2, .ckm, .db, .exe, .fomod, .gz, .lzma, .manifest, .omod, .py, .pyc, .rar, .tar, .tb2, .tgz, .zip
Per game skipped Data subdirectories
Game	Skipped Data subdirectories	Script extender(s) directories
Oblivion & Nehrim: At Fate's Edge	tes4edit backups, tes4edit cache, bgsee, conscribe logs	OBSE
Fallout 3	fo3edit backups, fo3edit cache	FOSE
Fallout: New Vegas	fnvedit backups, fnvedit cache	NVSE
Skyrim	tes5edit backups, tes5edit cache	SKSE, SkyProc Patchers, Script Dragon
Enderal: Forgotten Stories	enderaledit backups, enderaledit cache	SKSE, SkyProc Patchers, Script Dragon
Fallout 4	fo4edit backups, fo4edit cache	F4SE
Skyrim: Special Edition	sseedit backups, sseedit cache	SKSE, SkyProc Patchers
Per game skipped file extensions
Skipped file extension	Games	Notes
.bsl	Skyrim, Enderal: Forgotten Stories, Skyrim: Special Edition	If Skip BSL Files is checked
.psc	Skyrim, Enderal: Forgotten Stories, Skyrim: Special Edition, Fallout 4	If Skip Script Sources is checked

Skipping of Data subdirectories has some implications vis-à-vis uninstalling those skipped files. So say you turn Skip DistantLOD on, all packages that have installed files in Data/distantlod will show as dirty (as expected). You should at this point hit Anneal All. If you don't, then restart Bash, the files will no more show as dirty (remember Bash scans the data dir on booting, and will now boot with Skip DistantLOD on, so will simply loose track of any files in the distantlod folder). If you want to uninstall those files after a restart you should turn Override Skips on for the package, so that BAIN will re-detect the skipped files for this package and be able to uninstall them.

Script Extender Plugin Installation Back to top

Script Extender (e.g. OBSE, SKSE, F4SE) plugins (.dll, .dlx extensions) may be installed through BAIN if the following conditions are met:

The package (or subpackage in the case of a Complex Bain) contains the **SE plugin file inside Data\[**SE]\Plugins\ (e.g. OBSE for Oblivion) sub-folders.
The Skip **SE Plugins option found in the Installers tab column header context menu is disabled.

When attempting to install a specific Script Extender plugin for the first time, Wrye Bash will display a warning dialogue and ask you to confirm or deny the plugin's installation. Thereafter you can uninstall and install the plugin as you like without seeing the warning. These additional requirements are due to the significant (though currently theoretical) dangers of installing executable files.

The list of allowed and disallowed Script Extender plugins can be imported and exported using the Import list of allowed/disallowed **SE plugin DLLs and Export list of allowed/disallowed **SE plugin DLLs options in Wrye Bash's Settings menu.

OMOD Conversion Data Back to top

If a mod author is building a mod that supports BAIN, manual and OMOD installs, they can use the Omod Info... option in the package context menu to create or update the OMOD config file.

If a mod author wishes to include a screenshot for use by the OMOD, they simply need to copy the screenshot saved as a JPEG to the OMOD Conversion Data folder and rename it to screenshot with no file extension.

An OMOD installation script may also be created by creating a text file named script.txt and writing the script in any text editor. Testing is still best done in OBMM though.

The OMOD config file is the only true requirement for an OMOD to be created from OMOD Conversion Data. The screenshot and installation script can be used to enhance an OMOD. Note that the info.txt file that OMODs create when exporting Conversion Data in OBMM is unnecessary, and is provided for purely informational purposes.

BAIN Conversion Files Back to top

BCFs are effectively automated archive converters, converting an existing archive or several archives into a new layout. They can be used to make BAIN-incompatible archives compatible, or make compatible archives easier to install. As they don't contain any files that are found in the existing archive(s), the only copyright/permissions that apply are those that the BCF creator stipulates, which generally makes distribution easier. BCFs are also usually much smaller, only containing new files that it adds (commonly package.txt and ini file tweaks) and a BCF.dat that tells Wrye Bash how to reorganise the archive(s).

To create a BCF:

Add all of the source archives to BAIN.
Create a new project with the contents of the source archives, and rearrange the files as you see fit.
Right-click the project and select Pack To Archive....
Name the new archive, and choose whether to use solid compression or not. Solid compression results in smaller file sizes, but also reduces performance.
Set any options on the new archive package that you wish to be set whenever the BCF is applied (such as default sub-packages or Skip... options).
Select all the source archives in the package list, then right-click them and choose Conversions->Create. Select the archive that you just created, and name the BCF.
Look over the result log to make sure it looks OK. If it looks wrong, try again, you may have gotten the sources/target wrong. If it looks right, you can find the new BCF in [Game] Mods\Bash Installers\Bain Converters. It is recommended that you copy/paste the result log into your readme for your BCF.

Some points of interest regarding BCFs:

BCFs must end in either -BCF.7z or -BCF-*.7z (where the * is a wildcard matching any character string).
The converted archive may use 7-zip (.7z) or Zip (.zip) compression.
BCFs support an arbitrary number and level of archives embedded within an archive.
BCFs store the configuration settings of the original converted archive used when creating the BCF, allowing authors to pre-select options (see instructions above).
BCFs found to be duplicates will be moved to [Game] Mods\Bash Installers\Bain Converters\--Duplicates.
BCFs use data CRCs to verify the integrity of source archives. These use the contents of an archive, but not the name or type of the archive, so a source archive may be renamed or recompressed without affecting its ability to be used by a BCF. Wrye Bash displays the data CRCs of packages on the General Info tab for this reason.

Monitor External Installation Back to top

Wrye Bash can monitor your game's Data directory to detect any changes made by an external application or manual installation. It will take the new or changed files and create a new BAIN package that can be handled, installed, and uninstalled just like any other standard BAIN. This is very useful for mod authors or anyone that wants to keep strict control of what gets placed into their data directory.

Example usage scenarios

Creation Kit/GECK monitoring - When creating or managing content in the Creation Kit or GECK, Wrye Bash can capture any output from the CK/GECK in a BAIN package. This is useful for example when capturing FaceGen data as NPCs are managed, and it will also capture any loose files, ESP, or BSA created in the editor.
BodySlide - BodySlide is a utility used to create custom bodies and armor to fit these bodies, as well as from armors by third-parties to a custom body. Wrye Bash can capture all output from BodySlide and package it into a BAIN for easy management. These files can then be packaged and distributed, backed up, or used to build another mod.
Nexus Mod Manager / Other Mod Managers - Since Wrye Bash does not currently support the Nexus Mod Manager FOMOD XML installer format, sometimes it is necessary to use the Nexus Mod Manager to install poorly packaged mods that cannot be installed via the usual "click the checkbox" BAIN methods. The monitor external installation feature watches as NMM installs files and captures any changes to the content of Data, which can then be uninstalled by NMM and reinstalled cleanly from the newly created BAIN with Wrye Bash instead.

How to use the "Monitor External Installation" feature

Launch Wrye Bash and switch to the Installers tab.
At the top of any column (e.g. Packages), right click and select "Monitor External Installation..." from the context menu.
Wrye Bash will then begin to scan your data directory to snapshot all data contained within it before any changes are made.
Once this has completed, you will be prompted to begin your external installation.
At this point, switch to your external application and perform the installation or content creation you intend to perform. There is no time limit.
Once you have completed the task in the external application, switch back to Wrye Bash and click the OK button to proceed.
Wrye Bash will scan the data folder again to calculate what files have changed, or what new files have been placed into your game's data directory.
Once this has completed, Wrye Bash will present a dialog box with a list of files that are new or changed. You can select and deselect files to be included in the BAIN package at this point. It is advisable to exclude log files and other non-essential files from the final BAIN package.
Click OK when you are ready to build the package.
You will now be prompted for a name for your package. Enter a name and confirm.
Wrye Bash will then create the package and run a final CRC scan on the newly created BAIN package to add it to the installer manifest. This will take a few seconds depending on the speed of your computer and the size of the data being packaged.
The resulting project can be found at the bottom (highest number) of your package order on the Installer tab. You can then install, uninstall, or anneal the project as you would any other regular BAIN package, or zip it up as a BAIN archive.

Usage Notes

When naming your new BAIN package it is safest to avoid spaces in the name (e,g. use underscores between words) as the created BAIN package is written to an actual folder on your hard drive.
If you use Mod Organiser (or any mod manager that utilises a virtual installation of files instead of actually installing them into Data\), then Monitor External Installation can only be used if Wrye Bash is launched by the other Mod manager so that it will feed Wrye Bash the files it needs from the virtual folder. See this wiki article for more information on integrating Wrye Bash with Mod Organizer.
When installing mods via Nexus Mod Manager, it is recommended that you start monitoring, install the mod via NMM, then before closing NMM, complete the monitoring session. Create the BAIN package, then switch back to NMM and uninstall the mod. You can then close NMM. Switch back to Wrye Bash then install the mod from Wrye Bash. This ensures the mod is cleanly installed, all conflicts are recorded / resolved in Wrye Bash, and therefore able to be cleanly uninstalled.

	New Marker...	Creates a marker for organising your packages. The == will be added for you.
Refresh Data		Re-scans the Data directory (and all packages). Scanning of the Data directory is done once per run of Wrye Bash, when the Installers tab is first opened. If you manually alter files in the Data directory after that, you had to run this command to update BAIN to reflect the changes. However BAIN will now scan the Data directory for changes in files corresponding to the package(s) you run Quick Refresh (or Refresh) on, so in most use cases (if the files you altered belong to a particular project/package) just use Quick Refresh. What this command basically does is: rescan the game Data directory (as is done on booting BAIN). If you enabled/disabled any global skip option and this enabled/disabled new skips in the Data dir then rescanning Data will take those skips into account. See Skipped Data subdirectories for the Data directories that are skipped. run a Quick refresh on all installers (ignoring Skip refresh flags for projects, as Quick Refresh does)
Full Refresh		This does a full refresh of all data files, both the contents of the game Data directory tree and Bash Installers folder, bypassing all skip refresh flags for projects. Notably this will recalculate CRCs for all files inside Data and Bash Installers (including project directories). Running this command will likely take aeons, and you seldom need it.
Monitor External Installation...		When you absolutely cannot install a mod via BAIN, you can put BAIN into Monitor Mode using this command. It will scan the Data folder before and after you install the mod, then provide an option to create a Project from the changes it detects.
List Packages...		Displays a list of projects and archives and copies the list to your clipboard. This is useful for posting your package order on forums, eg. when troubleshooting an install.
Anneal All		Installs any missing files for active installers and corrects all install order errors.
Uninstall All Packages		Uninstalls all the packages in the package list.
Clean Data...		Removes files from the Data folder that are not from one of the following sources: Vanilla game content. Official DLC content. Wrye Bash (including the Bashed Patches and their corresponding docs in `Data/Docs`, e.g. `Bashed Patch, 0.html`). Installed BAIN packages. The files are not deleted, but moved to the `[Game] Mods\Bash Installers\Bash\Data Folder Contents [timestamp]` folder instead, where `[timestamp]` is the date and time the command was run.
Apply Embedded BCFs		Automatically apply Embedded BCFs to archives that have one. The new package will be created next to the archive that contains the BCF, and named as this archive prepended with "[Auto applied BCF] ". If a package with that name exists it will be overridden. BAIN used to try and do that automatically on refresh based on a setting (set by this column menu item), but this had many issues and was removed.
Avoid At Startup		Toggles Bash to avoid the Installers tab on startup, thus avoiding unnecessary data scanning. Unless you're spending a lot of time in the Installers tab, you should enable this.
Enabled		This enables/disables Bain itself. Preferred setting: Enabled (checked).
Auto-Anneal		Toggles the auto-anneal process on/off. Preferred setting: enabled.
Auto-Anneal/Install Wizards		Toggles whether or not to automatically install/anneal a package when finished with its wizard.
Auto-Refresh Projects		Toggles the auto-refreshing of projects on/off, for all projects. This is useful when you have many big projects and you want to minimize the lag when you switch back to the installers tab, whereupon BAIN will (behind the scenes) scan the Bash Installers folder for changed projects/packages. While scanning packages (archives) is pretty fast, scanning projects is slow, however you will miss on updates done in the project directories (you will have to manually refresh) - so it's recommended to leave this enabled. If you are concerned about a particularly big project then consider enabling the Don't Refresh flag on that particular project. Keep in mind that Projects will be anyway refreshed once on Bash restart, irrespective of this setting (except if popular demand arises).
Ignore FOMODs		If checked, then the 'smart' Install... command will ignore FOMODs and only run wizards or the manual procedure. You can still run FOMODs manually via Run FOMOD....
Validate FOMODs		If checked, then BAIN will validate FOMODs against the official XML schema and shows a warning if validation fails. You can find more information on this modding.wiki page.
Skip BethSoft Content		Toggles whether or not refreshing the Data directory will also scan Bethsoft BSAs, ESPs, and ESMs. Disabling this option will cause a significant increase in refresh time if the timestamps on the Bethsoft BSAs are changed. However, disabling this setting is the only way to allow BAIN to install Vanilla ESPs, ESMs, and BSAs. For example, DLC plugins which have been cleaned with xEdit and packed into a BAIN. Preferred setting: enabled (that is, skip installation of bethsoft content).
BSA Redirection		Oblivion, Nehrim: At Fate's Edge, Fallout 3 & Fallout: New Vegas only. Uses Quarn's BSA redirection technique to avoid bugs with the engine's BSA system. This is compatible with both OBMM and Quarn's original BSA redirection approaches.
Remove Empty Directories		If this is checked, then any empty subfolders of the Data directory will be deleted. This reduces some clutter (especially after uninstalling packages).
Show Inactive Conflicts		If checked, then the conflicts report will show conflicts with inactive as well as active installers. Usually only active conflicts are of interest, however sometimes it's useful to review all conflicting packages.
Show Lower Conflicts		If checked, then the conflicts report with show conflicts with lower order packages (or with lower ordering bsas in bsa conflicts view). If you're only interested in higher order conflicts, then uncheck this to remove some clutter from the report.
Show Active BSA Conflicts		If checked, the contents of the selected installer active BSAs are compared with the contents of other installers active BSAs and any conflicting resources (actually same name resources) found are displayed in the conflicts list. Active bsas are installed bsas that have a correspondingly named mod active in the load order.Lower and Higher conflicts has therefore a different meaning than loose file conflicts. Higher means that the corresponding active mod has a higher load oder number (loads later) so its bsa will load last and itsassets will be used. Note that this may lead to a package having its bsas appear in both Higher and Lower sections depending on how they load. If Show Lower Conflicts is not checked lower loading conflicting bsas won't be shown, again this is different than loose files, where lower installers (lower install order) won't be shown. This function still has some rough edges: we can't open the resources and check if they actually conflict or are identical, so take those "conflicts" with a grain of salt
Wizard Icon Overlay		If checked, installers with a Wizard will have a magic wand image displayed over their icons.
Global Skips
	Skip **SE Plugins	Non-Skyrim only. If this is checked, files to go in the `Data\[**SE]\Plugins` folder will not be installed.
	Skip SKSE/Script Dragon Plugins	Skyrim and Enderal: Forgotten Stories only. If this is checked, files to go in the `Data\SKSE\Plugins` or `Data\asi` folder will not be installed.
	Skip Screenshots	If checked, then files from screenshots directories (`screenshots`, `screens` and `ss`) will be skipped.
	Skip Script Sources	Skyrim, Enderal: Forgotten Stories, Skyrim: Special Edition & Fallout 4 only. If checked, loose script sources (.psc files) will be skipped.
	Skip Images	If checked, image files will be skipped.
	Skip Docs	If checked, document files will be skipped vice being swept to the `Docs` directory.
	Skip DistantLOD	Oblivion, Nehrim: At Fate's Edge, Fallout 3 & Fallout: New Vegas only. If checked, then `DistantLOD` files in packages will be ignored. Useful if you're using Tes4LodGen to generate DistantLOD files.
	Skip LOD Meshes	If checked, landscape LOD meshes will be skipped. This refers to all files installed into the following folders: `meshes\landscape\lod` — Oblivion, Nehrim: At Fate's Edge, Fallout 3 & Fallout: New Vegas `meshes\lod` — Skyrim, Enderal: Forgotten Stories, Skyrim: Special Edition & Fallout 4
	Skip LOD Textures	If checked, landscape LOD textures will be skipped. This refers to `.dds` files (except normals, see below) installed into the following folders: `textures\landscapelod\generated` — Oblivion, Nehrim: At Fate's Edge `textures\landscape\lod` — Fallout 3 & Fallout: New Vegas `textures\lod` — Skyrim, Enderal: Forgotten Stories, Skyrim: Special Edition & Fallout 4
	Skip LOD Normals	If checked, landscape LOD normals will be skipped. This refers to the following files installed into the following folders: `textures\landscapelod\generated\_fn.dds` — Oblivion, Nehrim: At Fate's Edge* `textures\landscape\lod\\normals\.dds` — Fallout 3 & Fallout: New Vegas `textures\lod\_n.dds` — Skyrim, Enderal: Forgotten Stories, Skyrim: Special Edition & Fallout 4*
	Skip BSL Files	Skyrim, Enderal: Forgotten Stories and Skyrim: Special Edition only. If checked, BSL Files will be skipped.
Global Redirects
	Rename String Translation Files	Skyrim, Enderal: Forgotten Stories, Skyrim: Special Edition & Fallout 4 only. If checked, string translation files will be renamed so that they are loaded for the language the game is currently run for, unless there are existing translation files for that language.
	Redirect Script Sources	Skyrim: Special Edition only. If checked, loose script sources (.psc files) installed to the incorrect folders (`source\scripts` and `source`) will be redirected to the correct folder (`scripts\source`). Skip Script Sources must be off.

Package Context Menu
Command			Description
File...		Open...	Opens the selected package(s) in the file system.
		Rename...	Renames the selected package(s) or marker(s). All selected items must be of the same type. For archives the extension will remain the same.
		Duplicate...	Makes a duplicate of the selected package(s).
		Hide...	Hides the package in the list, and moves it to the `[Game] Mods/Bash Mod Data/Hidden` folder.
		Delete	Deletes the selected package(s). Deleted packages are sent to the Recycling Bin.
Open at		Google...	Attempts to perform a Google search for the selected package's name.
		[Game] Nexus...	Attempts to open the selected package's page on the game's matching Nexus. This command assumes that the trailing digits in a package's name is the package ID at the site.
		TES Alliance...	Attempts to open the selected package's page on TES Alliance. This command assumes that the trailing digits in a package's name is the package ID at the site.
		Open Readme	If BAIN detects a readme in the selected package, it will be opened.
Anneal			Installs missing files and corrects install order errors. Note: If an already installed file is changed outside of Wrye Bash control, Wrye Bash will not anneal that file. Anneal is relative to other installed packages. This is because we do not want to override user changes like cleaning plugins and the like. If you do want to override the change use Install Configured instead. Note2: The change will be detected immediately in case of ini tweaks, mods or bsas, but on next Bash load for other files (like nifs etc). To detect the change without restarting (Quick) Refresh the package.
Quick Refresh			Refreshes all info for the selected package(s), also checking the files that correspond to this package inside the Data directory. It will bypass skip refresh flags on projects (see case A below). BAIN does refresh package information whenever the installer's tab regains focus, except for projects if project skipping is on, but does not scan the Data folder but once on boot. So this command is useful if: a project has been changed and it has Don't Refresh selected, or the Auto-Refresh Projects option is disabled files that correspond to a package/project have changed in the game's Data directory, but the package is still marked in sync (or out of sync) erroneously Case B) is relevant cause now Bash will recheck the files in Data that would belong to the packages that are being refreshed. This was not the case in 306, where you needed a full Refresh Data, which is now pretty much deprecated.
Move To...			Moves the selected package(s) to the specified position.
Install...			Installs the selected package, preferring a BAIN or FOMOD wizard if it exists.
Advanced Installation..	Install Configured		Fully installs the package except for files that would be overridden by later packages.
	Install Missing Files		The same as Install, except that it only installs missing files – i.e. it will not override any currently existing files.
	Install Last		Moves the package to the end of the order list and installs it.
	FOMOD Installer..	Run FOMOD...	Runs the FOMOD for this package and installs the output into the Data folder via BAIN.
		Capture FOMOD Output...	Runs the FOMOD for this package and creates a new BAIN project containing the output.
		View FOMOD...	Archives only. Opens the ModuleConfig.xml for viewing.
		Edit FOMOD...	Projects only. Opens the ModuleConfig.xml in your system's default `.xml` editor.
	Wizard Installer...	Manual Wizard...	Runs the BAIN wizard for the package, if it has one.
		Auto Wizard...	Runs the BAIN wizard for the package, if it has one, selecting the default options.
		View Wizard...	Archives Only. Opens the wizard.txt for viewing.
		Edit Wizard...	Projects Only. Opens the wizard.txt in your system's default `.txt` editor.
Uninstall			Uninstalls the package. If Auto-Anneal is active (the default) then files from earlier packages that were previously overridden will be installed as required.
Package..		Refresh	As Quick Refresh below. Refresh will however recalculate the CRCs for all selected items from scratch, which is not what you usually need (for projects especially it will take much longer than for packages, cause to calculate the CRC of a project all the individual CRCs of all the files in the project folder must be recalculated). Bash will of course recalculate CRCs for files that have their dates/sizes changed anyway, so forcing CRC recalculation with Refresh is only needed if you changed the contents of a file inside a project without changing its modification time and* its size* - that's super rare, you most probably just need Quick Refresh below.
		Export Achlist	This exports a file list of the files configured to be installed by this installer (except top level files and docs installed in Data/Docs folder). This list is used when the CK asks for a list of files to make new BSA files, for use when uploading to Bethesda.net. It will generate a `installer-name.achlist` file inside the Mod Info Exports directory in the game (exe) folder. Mod Info Exports will be created if it doesn't exist. If an achlist with the same name exists it will be overwritten. Import the ACHList Bash generated and it will then package your files into the proper archives for upload. Available only for Skyrim: Special Edition & Fallout 4.
		Pack to Archive...	Projects only. Packs the project to an archive. It defaults to .7z, but also supports .zip.
		Package For Release...	Projects only. Just like "Pack to Archive" except it doesn't archive the following: thumbs.db, desktop.ini, and any folder that begins with "--".
		List Structure...	Generates a list of the files and directories in a package. Useful for posting package structure on forums, eg. when troubleshooting an install.
		Sync From Data	Synchronize the package with files from the Data directory. This is essentially the reverse of Install... since it copies from the Data directory to the package rather than the other way around.
		Unpack To Project(s)...	Archives only. Unpack the archive to a project.
		Copy Conflicts to Project	Copies all files that conflict with the selected package into a new project. Conflicts with inactive installers and lower order packages are included as if Show Inactive Conflicts and Show Lower Conflicts options were selected. Useful for comparing conflicting resources.
BAIN Conversions		Create...	Archives only. Creates a new Bain Conversion File.
BAIN Conversions		Apply→[BCF]	[BCF] is the name of a Bain Conversion File listed in the Apply submenu. Selecting a BCF applies it to the selected package.
Has Extra Directories			BAIN only recognises a limited set of subdirectories of the Data folder (the standard game directories), and skips any unrecognised subdirectories. Checking this option will cause BAIN to install unrecognised subdirectories (Unless the files within are on the list of files which are always skipped such as .exe files, see Skipped Files) NB: extra directories will not be taken into account at all when calculating package structure. There must be at least some standard game directory or a data file (plugin, bsa/ba2, ini) in the package for BAIN to recognise its structure.
Override Skips			If this is checked, Bain will not skip over files that would normally be skipped due to a global skip option.
Skip Voices			If this is checked, Bain will skip over any voice files in the package. This is useful if the voice files are empty and/or the user prefers not to use them. If this option is used, then the user should also use Elys' Universal Silent Voice extension to prevent dialog subtitles from fading too rapidly.
Don't Refresh			When refreshing installers (when switching out and in the installers tab), this project won't be scanned for changes. The project will only get refreshed during the first refresh of BAIN on a restart, or by manually refreshing (see Quick Refresh and co)
Omod Info...			Projects only. Allows you to read/write omod configuration info.

Sub-Package Context Menu
Command	Description
Select All	Selects all the sub-packages in the list.
Deselect All	Deselects all the sub-packages in the list.
Toggle Selection	Deselects currently selected sub-packages, and selects currently deselected subpackages.
List Sub-Packages	Generates a forum-formatted list of sub-packages in the package, highlighting checked packages with `***`.

Plugin Filter Context Menu
Command	Description
Select All	Selects all the plugins in the Filter list.
Deselect All	Deselects all the plugins in the Filter list.
List Plugins	Generates a forum-formatted list of plugins in the Filter list, highlighting checked plugins with `***`.
Rename...	Rename the selected plugin. Renamed plugins are displayed in the Filter list with a `*` before their name and are displayed in the information tabs as `original name -> new name`. Renaming a plugin before installing it is preferable to renaming a BAIN-installed plugin through other means, as the former allows BAIN to keep track of it, whereas the latter does not.
Reset Name	Resets the selected plugin's name to its default name.
Reset All Names	Resets all renamed plugins to their default names.
Jump to Mod	Jumps to this plugin in the Mods tab. You can double-click on the mod to the same effect.

Mods Tab Back to top

The Plugin Details Panel Back to top

Item	Description
File Name	The filename of the selected plugin. Note that changing this does not change the filename in the Masters Lists of any dependent plugins.
Modification Time	This field is editable, by clicking in the box. After changes are made, click the Save button to commit your changes to the plugin, or Cancel to discard them. Note: For Oblivion, Nehrim: At Fate's Edge, Fallout 3 & Fallout: New Vegas this affects the load order of the selected plugin. For Skyrim, it has no effect, except that if it is changed for a plugin obtained from Steam Workshop, it will cause the plugin to be redownloaded as Steam Workshop uses modification time to detect file versions.
Author	Who made the selected plugin.
Description	Commonly used for a short description of what the selected plugin does, plus the version number and any Bash Tags the author sets.
Masters List	The Masters list shows the plugins that the currently selected plugin depends on, the load order (Mod Index) of that master in the plugin file, and the current load order of the master plugin if present and active. Plugins' entries in the Masters List may be renamed to reflect name changes of the plugins themselves. To rename a master, first allow editing from the masters list column context menu and then either left-click the plugin entry and edit it in the column display, or right-click the plugin and select Change to... then select the replacement plugin. Do not use this to change a plugin's masters to unrelated plugins, as this will cause file corruption. If editing is allowed, items that are renamed inside Bash internal dictionaries appear bolded - on clicking on the masterlist they take their renamed values and the Save and Cancel buttons are enabled. You may click on Save to save the new master list, or on Cancel to revert displaying the non renamed masters. Disallowing edits will revert the list to the original and disable Save and Cancel buttons (if no other fields are edited).
MI	Master Index of the mod. This means the actual number of the masters in succession starting with e.g. 00 Skyrim.esm, 00 Oblivion.esm, etc.
Current LO	Current load order in relation to the load order of the Active Plugins. Active Plugins should correspond with plugins.txt.
Bash Tags	This field lists any Bash Tags that are assigned to the selected plugin. Right-clicking will display a list of Bash Tags and allow you to add or remove tags by checking or unchecking them.

Color scheme for Plugin Masters (MI &Current LO) Back to top

In the table below suppose you see details for displayed_mod.esp which depends on [Oblivion.esm, displayed_mod.esm, some_other.esp, some_other2.esp] in this order. So the MIs displayed in the master list for Oblivion.esm, displayed_mod.esm, some_other.esp, some_other2.esp are 0, 1, 2, 3.

Checkbox Colour	Meaning
	Good. Matches the Master Index of the the Current load order.
	Good, but the Master Index is not in sync with the Current load order. So for instance if you have a load order with active mods (in this order) [Oblivion.esm, displayed_mod.esm, yet_some-other.esp, some_other.esp, some_other2.esp, displayed_mod.esp], some_other.esp will display in green as its current load order is 3 while its master index is 2. Note that the relative load order of masters is the same as it is in the MI list.
	The plugin loads in a different order compared to its order in the master array of displayed_mod.esp So for instance if you have a load order with active mods (in this order) [Oblivion.esm, displayed_mod.esm, some_other2.esp, some_other.esp, displayed_mod.esp], some_other.esp and some_other2.esp will display in orange as they load in different relative order than they are recorded in the master array of displayed_mod.esp. If a plugin has two masters that are siblings (one doesn't have the other as a master, so they can load in either order) and they are overriding the same record from an earlier master (e.g. both are overriding a record from the main game master file), then loading them in a different order will result in a different version of the overridden record being the "winner". But the plugin might depend on the winner being the one indicated by the order in which it references the masters. The plugin should be examined in xEdit (meaning any version) to see if it is best to alter the load order or if Sort Masters should be used to correct the issue.
	A Master that is missing. If unintended then you should check to make sure that you have not inadvertently renamed or removed the plugin.

CSV Files Back to top

Wrye Bash uses CSV files for many of its plugin data related features. CSV files are a very widely supported type of spreadsheet file, and once exported may be edited in programs like Microsoft Excel, LibreOffice Calc or even in text editors such as Notepad or Notepad++.

CSV files are used by the Import/Export... commands as this allows much easier editing of record data in large batches or in systematic manners than in the Construction Set. The data may be exported, edited in the CSV, then imported again. The following notes apply to CSV files.

Wrye Bash will ignore any lines in a CSV file for which the second column does not begin with 0x, so such lines can be used for comments.
For Sigil Stones and Spell Stats CSV exports, additional effects can be added to a stone/spell by appending effects to the end of a line, leaving one blank column between each effect. If any of the Script Effect columns are set to None then all the script effects for that effect will be ignored.
For the values of object stats such as price or weight or damage, etc., formulae may be used to work out the numerical values, but the file should contain the resulting numbers, not the formulae used.
The faction lists for actors do not need to be complete - only the actor/faction pairs added or changed need to be listed. A rank of -1 in a faction will remove an actor from that faction.
Relation lists do not need to be complete for each faction - only the added/changed main/other pairs need to be listed.

CSV files can also be used when building the Bashed Patch, for a number of options. The Bashed Patch builder will automatically detect the presence of any CSV files in the Data\Bash Patches folder and have the correct filename ending. These filename endings are:

Import Type	Required Filename Ending
Replace Form IDs	Formids.csv
Import Actors: Factions	Factions.csv
Import Names	Names.csv
Import Relations	Relations.csv
Import Spell Stats	Spells.csv
Import Stats	Stats.csv

Context Menu Commands Back to top

The tables below detail the full list of context menu commands available in the Mods tab.

Column Header Context Menu
Command		Description
Sort By		This submenu allows you to choose by which column the plugin list is sorted. This is equivalent to clicking on a column header. You can also choose to sort by Type, which will place .esms before .esps regardless of the sorting criteria, or by Selection, which places selected plugins before unselected plugins regardless of criteria.
Columns		This submenu allows you to choose which columns are visible in the mod list.
Files..	Open Folder...	Opens the Data folder in Windows Explorer.
	Unhide...	Opens a dialogue window allowing you to select which hidden plugins to unhide.
	New Plugin...	Displays a dialog that allows you to create an empty plugin with various options.
	New Bashed Patch...	Creates a new Bashed Patch plugin. Useful if you accidentally delete your current one or wish to have more than one.
	Open <file>	One or more options of this form may be here, depending on the managed game. They will open the files used by the game for controlling plugin load order in your default text editor.
Active Mods	Activate All	Activates all the plugins in the mod list. If more than 255 mods are present Bash will activate all it can from the bashed patches, then non mergeable and then mergeable mods then will display an error message. Bash will try to activate mods in their load order.
	De-activate All	Deactivates all the plugins in the mod list. Some plugins will not be deactivated (for instance Fallout 4 DLCs) as the game force loads them when present.
	Activate Selected	Activate only the mods selected in the mod list interface - warning: their masters won't be activated !
	Save Active Mods List	Saves the currently active mods to a new list.
	Edit Active Mods Lists...	Allows the deletion and renaming of active mods lists.
	[Active Mods List]	[Active Mods List] items are listed below the separator in the Active Mods submenu. Clicking a list name will apply the list, trying to activate exactly the plugins that are listed in it.
Oblivion.esm		Oblivion only. This submenu relates to Oblivion.esm Swapping.
List Mods		This outputs a BBCode-formatted load order, including version information, activation status and major load order errors. It can be useful for debugging a broken load order. If the Shift key is held when this command is selected, the CRCs of plugins will also be displayed in the output. If the Ctrl key is held, then the versions of plugins will not be shown in the output.
List Bash Tags...		This outputs a BBCode-formatted list of all the Bash Tags applied to the plugins in your load order, and where/how the Bash Tags were specified. It can be useful for figuring out which tags come from where.
Export Bash Tags...		Exports all currently applied bash tags to a CSV file. Plugins without tags will not be exported.
Import Bash Tags...		Imports applied bash tags from a CSV file. Plugins not listed in the CSV file will be left untouched.
Clear Manual Bash Tags		Removes all manually applied bash tags. Tags from plugin descriptions, LOOT masterlists and userlists and BashTags files will be left untouched.
Auto-Ghost		The game engine has a bug where it reads all the plugins in the Data folder, and this can affect performance when the number of plugins is around 300+. Auto-Ghosting adds a .ghost extension to all inactive plugins automatically to prevent the game engine reading them, and so helping to avoid the performance drop. When a ghosted plugin is activated, the .ghost extension is removed, allowing it to function as normal. Note that other utilities will not recognise ghosted plugins, so there are options available for individual plugins to control which get ghosted.
Lock Load Order		This prevents other utilities from altering the plugin load order. More accurately, it detects changes to the load order (modification times for earlier games, text files for later ones) when Wrye Bash starts or is focused (ie. on top of all other program windows) and reverses those changes.
Lock Active Plugins		This enhances Lock Load Order to make it reverse changes to the enabled/disabled status of plugins in your load order as well.
ESL-Flag Bashed Patches		Skyrim: Special Edition & Fallout 4 only. If enabled, then any built Bashed Patches will automatically be ESL-flagged, saving a load order slot.
Remove Dummy Masters...		Removes all dummy master files created using Create Dummy Masters... on a plugin.
Check mods against LOOT's dirty mod list		LOOT's masterlist contains information on dirty plugins that can be used by Wrye Bash to highlight these plugins in the mod list. Checking this setting tells Wrye Bash to use this information. Note that the detection will try to use masterlists from the user's system-wide LOOT installation, if those exist, otherwise Bash falls back to the taglists it comes bundled with.
Recalculate CRCs		Clean stale CRCs from cache. Workaround for buggy CRC updates in previous versions of Bash. Use for instance when plugins show as mismatched in BAIN when they are not.
Plugin Checker...		Launches the Plugin Checker.

Plugin Context Menu
Command		Description
File..	Duplicate...	Creates a duplicate of the selected plugin in the Data folder.
	Hide...	Moves the selected plugin to the `[Game] Mods/Bash Mod Data/Hidden` subdirectory. If the plugin's author is defined and there is a Bash Mod Data/Hidden subdirectory of the same name, the plugin will be placed there. If not and the plugin's group is defined and there is a Bash Mod Data/Hidden subdirectory of the same name, the plugin will be placed there instead. Otherwise it will be placed inside Bash Mod Data/Hidden.
	Redate...	Change the modification time of the selected plugin. If more than one plugin is selected, then all the plugins will have their modification times altered, with the first in the list being set to the specified time and the rest at one minute intervals from that time.
	Delete	Deletes the selected plugin(s) and any backups of them, but not snapshots. Deleted plugins are sent to the Recycling Bin.
	Backup	Creates a backup of the selected plugin in `[Game] Mods\Bash Mod Data\Backups`. On first run, the backed-up plugin has `f` appended to its file extension, giving e.g. `.espf`.
	Revert To Backup...	Reverts the selected plugin to the last backup made of it.
	Revert To First Backup...	Reverts the selected plugin to the first backup made of it.
	Snapshot...	Creates a snapshot copy of the selected plugin in `Bash\Snapshots`. Snapshot filenames are appended with `-n` where n is a number between 01 and 99. Eg. the first snapshot of `Plugin.esp` is `Plugin-01.esp`. The number is incremented each time the plugin has a snapshot taken. Additionally, if there is a version line in the plugin's description field, then the snapshot number will be appended to the version number in the same manner.
	Revert To Snapshot...	Reverts the selected plugin to a selected snapshot.
Groups	Export Group	Exports the selected plugin's groups to a CSV file as plugin name/groups pairs.
	Import Group	This will set the groups for selected mods as specified in a csv file (as created by the Export Groups command). If selected mods are not assigned a group in the file nothing happens.
	Edit Groups...	Add: add a new group to existing groups. Group names can be in Unicode.
		Rename: rename selected group. Mods that belong to it will have the group renamed.
		Remove: delete selected group. Deleting a group removes it from mods that belong to it.
		Refresh: pick up assigned groups and add them to the existing ones. Use it after importing groups from a file to update available groups.
		Sync: sync the list of available groups to the assigned ones - in other words delete unassigned groups.
		Default: reset the list of available groups to the default ones. This won't delete non default assigned groups. It's a feature. Use Refresh to pick up your groups and add them to the defaults.
	Groups Menu	Set a group for the selected plugin(s). Groups that are assigned to the selected plugins appear checked. They provide no automatic functionality, other than to place hidden plugins in group folders provided those folders already exist. Use them to group plugins together so you can disable or enable them at once, etc. Note to old timers: BALO has been removed taking BALO groups for the ride - those of you who remember them, shed a tear goodbye.
Rating		A purely cosmetic feature, this allows you to assign different rating values to plugins.
Move To...		Moves the selected plugin(s) to the specified position. Note that the way this works with inactive plugins may seem a bit counter-intuitive. Since inactive plugins do not have indices, it will be moved to occupy the selected position, but since it's inactive, the next active plugin after it is the one that actually receives the position. In practical terms, this means you will often end up moving an inactive plugin to one spot before the one you wanted and adjusting its position via drag and drop or via `Ctrl+Arrow Keys` will be necessary.
Order By Name		Set the load order of the selected plugins starting at the lowest ordered mod, sorting them alphabetically.
Details...		Displays a list of the records in the selected plugin, similar to the Details view in the Construction Set.
List Masters...		Outputs a list of the selected plugin's masters.
List Dependent...		Displays and copies to the clipboard a list of mods that have the currently selected mod as master. Active mods are prefixed with their load order while merged, imported and inactive mods are prefixed with `++`, `**` and `__` respectively.
Readme...		Attempts to open the selected plugin's associated readme in the Doc Browser.
List Bash Tags...		Outputs a BBCode-formatted list of all the Bash Tags applied to the selected plugin, and where/how the Bash Tags was specified. It can be useful for debugging a broken load order.
Create LOOT Entry...		Creates LOOT masterlist entries based on the tags you have applied to the selected plugin(s). Also tries to figure out the URL that the plugin came from based on the BAIN package it was installed from.
Copy Mod Info...		Outputs a report on the selected plugins(s) with the info from the currently displayed columns.
Jump to Installer		Jump to the installer of the selected mod, if the Installers tab is displayed and enabled and the plugin has an installer. You can Alt-Click on the mod to the same effect.
Disallow Ghosting		Don't ghost the selected plugins when they are inactive, even if Auto-Ghost is enabled. Will unghost the selected plugins if enabled.
Ghost/Unghost		Manually ghost/unghost selected plugins (active ones can't be ghosted). Ghosting a plugin will clear its Disallow Ghosting flag (if set). This will survive autoGhost till next restart. If you want your changes to persist, mark the plugin as disallow ghosting.
Allow Ghosting		Displayed if multiple plugins are selected. Unchecks Disallow Ghosting for the selected plugins.
Invert Ghosting		Displayed if multiple plugins are selected. Toggles the status of Disallow Ghosting for the selected plugins.
Mark Mergeable...		Not available for Skyrim: Special Edition & Fallout 4. Scans the selected plugin(s) to determine if they are mergeable or not. Wrye Bash does this automatically, but this command reports why mods are unmergeable.
Check ESL Qualifications		Skyrim: Special Edition & Fallout 4 only. Checks if the selected plugin(s) can be ESL-flagged using Add ESL Flag. Wrye Bash does this automatically, but this command reports why mods can't be ESL-flagged.
Rebuild Patch...		Rebuild the selected Bashed Patch using the Python patcher.
List Patch Config...		Displays a summary of how the selected Bashed Patch is configured.
Export Patch Config...		Exports the configuration of the selected Bashed Patch to a file.
Export	Cell Block Info...	Oblivion & Nehrim: At Fate's Edge only. Exports a list of cell block Editor IDs and their coordinates in the selected plugin to a CSV file.
	Editor Ids...	For advanced mod authors only. Exports the Editor IDs of the records in the selected plugin to a CSV file.
	Factions...	For advanced mod authors only. Exports the factions defined for actors in the selected plugin to a CSV file, which can be imported to a plugin or used in the Bashed Patch's Import Actors: Factions option.
	Names...	Exports the names of the objects in the selected plugin to a CSV file. All the records displayed in the Construction Set's Objects Window are supported - cells and dialogue are not. As well as being useful for the usual large-scale changes, this command is useful for translators. The CSV file can also be used in the Bashed Patch's Import Names option.
	NPC Levels...	For advanced mod authors only. Exports NPC level info from the selected plugin to a CSV file. Only NPCs which are dynamically levelled (ie. offset from the player's level) will be exported.
	Map Markers...	Oblivion & Nehrim: At Fate's Edge only. Exports information about the map marker data in the plugin.
	Prices...	Exports the prices of objects in the selected plugin to a CSV file.
	Relations...	For advanced mod authors only. Exports the faction relationships in the selected plugin to a CSV file. This does not export race relationships. The CSV file can also be used in the Bashed Patch's Import Relations option.
	Ingredients...	Exports alchemy ingredient record data from the selected plugin to a CSV file.
	Scripts...	Exports the scripts in the selected plugin to a series of text files. The scripts may then be edited in the text files and re-imported. Warning: Do not change the first three lines of each text file exported when editing unless you know what you're doing.
	Sigil Stones...	Exports the stats of sigil stones from the selected plugin to a CSV file.
	Spells...	Exports spell stats in the selected plugin to a CSV file. The CSV file can also be used in the Bashed Patch's Import Stats option. There are two modes of export, Basic and Detailed. The spell stats exported in Basic mode are as follows. Form ID Editor ID Name Cost Level type Spell type In Detailed mode, all Basic stats are exported as well as a variety of flags and all the spell effects.
	Stats...	Exports stats for the following record types in the selected plugin to a CSV file. The CSV file can also be used in the Bashed Patch's Import Stats option. Ammunition Apparatus Armor Book Clothing Ingredient Key Light Misc. Item Sigil Stone Soulgem Weapon
Import	Editor Ids...	For advanced mod authors only. Imports the Editor IDs for records in the selected plugin from a CSV file. As well as updating the Editor IDs of records themselves, this also updates any Editor IDs referenced in normal (non quest stage or dialogue) scripts to reflect the changes. Note: You may have to recompile any altered scripts in the Construction Set. If you wish to update script references after the Editor IDs were changed, edit the CSV file and add another column after the eid column and give the old Editor IDs in the new column. E.g. `MISC Oblivion.esm 0x0123456 newEid oldEid`
	Factions...	For advanced mod authors only. Applies to the selected plugin the factions defined for actors in a CSV file previously exported using Wrye Bash.
	Names...	Imports names for objects from a CSV file (or other mod) into the selected plugin. Only records that already exist in the plugin will have their names changed, no records will be added.
	NPC Levels...	For advanced mod authors only. Imports NPC level info from a CSV file into the selected plugin. This does not affect Creature levels or leveled lists, nor does it affect the levels of NPCs in existing saves, for which Update NPC Levels must be used. As well as the format exported by Export NPC Levels, an older format is supported: The first column is the Form ID. This must not have been edited. The second column is the Editor ID, which is ignored on import. The next three columns are the levelling info. The last four columns are the original NPC levels from the game's master file. If the NPCs are mod-added, these will be blank. These columns are ignored on import.
	Map Markers...	Oblivion & Nehrim: At Fate's Edge only. Imports map marker data from a CSV file into the selected plugin.
	Prices...	Imports the prices of objects from a CSV file (or other mod) into the selected plugin.
	Relations...	For advanced mod authors only. Imports faction relationships from a CSV file into the selected plugin.
	Ingredients...	Imports alchemy ingredient record data from a CSV file into the selected plugin.
	Scripts...	Imports scripts from a series of text files into the selected plugin. Note: You must recompile any altered or new scripts in the Construction Set.
	Sigil Stones...	Imports the stats of sigil stones from a CSV file into the selected plugin.
	Spells...	Imports spell stats from a CSV file into the selected plugin. Only records that exist in the plugin will have their spell stats change, no records will be added. The spell stats supported are those exported by Export Spell Stats..., and importing uses the same Basic and Detailed mode distinctions.
	Stats...	Imports stats from a CSV file into the selected plugin. Only records that exist in the plugin will have their stats change, no records will be added. The object stats supported are those exported by Export Stats....
	Face...	This command relates to Face Importing.
	FormIDs...	For advanced mod authors only. It is useful if you want to replace the records in one master with equivalent records in another master. This command replaces the Form IDs in a plugin according to a CSV file that acts as a Form ID mapper. An example of such a file is `Data\Bash Patches\TI to Cobl_Formids.csv`. The instructions below detail how to create a Form ID mapper. Use Export Editor Ids on both the plugin containing the Form IDs to be replaced and the plugin containing the replacement Form IDs. Combine the two CSV files produced into a CSV file with the following columns: Record type. This is ignored by Wrye Bash, but can be useful for reference. Old Mod. This supplies the first two digits in the old Form ID. Old Object. This supplies the rest of the old Form ID. Old Eid. The Editor ID for the old object. New Eid. The Editor ID for the new object. New Mod This supplies the first two digits in the new Form ID. New Object. This supplies the rest of the new Form ID. Note that if either of the new or old sides of a row are empty, the row will be skipped. Also, the new object does not have to be of the same type as the old object, but they should be compatible. Save the new CSV file so that its filename ends with Formids.csv. If you've completely swapped from one base plugin to another, you may wish to remove the old dependency. This can be done using TES4Edit's Clean Masters command or TES4Gecko's Edit Master List command. The former only removes totally unused masters while the latter can remove used masters with the appropriate cleanup, and is not an automated procedure. Note: You can also use TES4Edit to change the Form IDs using its Batch Change Referencing Records command together with the CSV file created. TES4Edit will also change the definition of a Form ID, rather than just any references to it, unlike Wrye Bash.
Mod Cleaning	Don't check against LOOT's dirty mod list	Overrides the setting in the column header context menu for the specific plugin(s) selected.
	Scan for Deleted Records	Scans the selected plugin(s) for deleted records (i.e. deleted references, deleted base records and, for games that have them, deleted navmeshes), outputting counts and FormIDs of the found records. This will skip the game master (since it cannot contain deleted records) and plugins with the `.esu` extension, since those use deleted records on purpose to mark a record existing in one version of the plugin but not in the other one.
	Remove World Orphans	Some plugins have a mild form of corruption where exterior cells of new worldspaces in an esp master of the plugin are included in the plugin even if they are not edited, but the parent worldspace is not included, creating "orphaned" cells. This command removes these "orphans".
	Nvidia Fog Fix	Oblivion & Nehrim: At Fate's Edge only. Systems with Nvidia graphics cards can suffer a black screen bug when interior cell fog distances are set to 0. This command scans the selected plugin(s) and sets any zero-valued fog distances to 0.001. It is advised that mod authors use this on their mods before release.
Copy To Esm/Esp		Creates a .esp copy of a .esm or vice versa.
Add/Remove ESM Flag		The distinction between esp and esm plugins is not dependent on their file extensions, but on a bit in the file. This command toggles this bit so that .esp files behave as .esm files and vice versa. It is useful for creating and editing plugins with .esp files as masters, which cannot be done in the Construction Set otherwise. Esm files cannot be edited in the Construction Set as esp files, so this command is disabled for them. NB: the file extension won't change and this is used by Bash so do not mess with it. Warning: Make sure to toggle any plugins back before playing the game, otherwise savegames will get confused, possibly causing bugs and corruption. To toggle the masters back use the same command on the plugin which should now be named Remove ESM Flag.
Add/Remove ESL Flag		Skyrim: Special Edition & Fallout 4 only. Toggles the ESL flag on the selected plugin, either turning it into an ESL if it does not yet have the flag set or turning it back into an ESP if it does have the flag set. This is only possible if the mod is ESL-capable - see the Check ESL Qualifications option for more information.
Add/Remove ESM Flag To/From Masters		This works as Add/Remove ESM Flag does, but toggles a plugin's masters rather than the plugin itself. The load order of plugins will change to reflect their new status but since the modification time won't change they will revert back to their original positions for modification time based load orders. Be sure to backup your load order for Skyrim and newer games.
Create Dummy Masters...		Creates an empty plugin for each missing master a mod has. This is useful for allowing TES4Edit to open a 'Filter' patch without having all of the required masters. These dummy plugins can later be removed using the Remove Dummy Masters command.
Decompile All		Oblivion only. Undoes the effect of a Compile All performed in the Construction Set. It will not do anything to the game's master file.
Version 0.8		Oblivion only. Resets the file version number of the selected plugin so that it can be edited in an older version of the Construction Set, which is required when making certain changes due to bugs in the latest Construction Set. Warning: It is possible that this may cause data loss.

Plugin Masters List Column Header Context Menu
Command		Description
Sort By		This submenu allows you to choose by which column the masters list is sorted. This is equivalent to clicking on a column header.
Allow Editing		Allow (or disallow) editing of the masters list. Enables (or disables) the items' context menu entries.
Clear Renames		Clears the internal renames dictionary, meaning that maters that were previously renamed will no longer be automatically renamed in future plugins' master lists.

Plugin Masters List Items Context Menu
Command		Description
Change to...		Rename a master by selecting the desired replacement plugin from the Data folder. It will add the plugin to the internal renames dictionary of Wrye Bash and bold it on any master list that it appears in. Hit Save to edit the selected file permanently. Equivalent to left clicking the selected master for a second time, just allows you to select the plugin from the Data directory instead of entering the name manually. Note that you should only do this if the new name is a new version of the same plugin. Replacing a plugin with an unrelated plugin will cause file corruption.
Jump to Master		Jumps to the specified master on the Mods tab. You can double-click on the master to the same effect.

Advanced Bashed Patch Back to top

You can have multiple Bashed Patches, though one is generally enough per save profile or character. The only requirement for Wrye Bash recognising a plugin as a Bashed Patch is that its Author field is set to BASHED PATCH, so you can name a Bashed Patch whatever you want.

Viewing & Editing The Bashed Patch Back to top

As the Bashed Patch commonly has .esp files as masters, viewing and editing it can be more complicated than for the average plugin. If you wish to view its contents, it is easiest to use TES4Edit, which can also be used to edit most types of data in plugins. To edit it using the Construction Set or Creation Kit (required when editing scripts), you'll need to first use the Add ESM Flag To Masters command on it. Be sure to use Remove ESM Flag From Masters before attempting to play the game.

Bash Tags Back to top

Wrye Bash uses a tagging system to determine what mods can and should have which records available for importing into the Bashed Patch. These Bash Tags are specified by mod authors in the header descriptions of their plugins, are applied using data from LOOT's masterlist and userlist files, and are read from text files in the [GAME]\Data\BashTags folder. In increasing priority the Bash Tags sources are:

Description in the header of the plugin (can be edited in WB)
taglist.yaml (LOOT) - Only if no LOOT masterlist was found on the user's computer
masterlist.yaml (LOOT)
userlist.yaml (LOOT)
[GAME]\Data\BashTags\[PLUGIN NAME].txt
Tags that were manually set in Wrye Bash

Bash includes a LOOT masterlist parser. It will try and parse the masterlist and userlist files, if it finds them in the %LOCALAPPDATA%\LOOT\GAME directory. If that fails (e.g. if the files are not there) it will fallback to a Mopy\taglists\GAME\taglist.yaml file bundled with Bash, keep it there. For userlist and masterlist relative priority and role see the LOOT docs.

For each plugin, Wrye Bash will read the file [GAME]\Data\BashTags\[PLUGIN NAME].txt, if it exists. Tags specified in this file will override ones in the description and the LOOT masterlist. These files are intended for people besides the mod author to share plugin suggestions. For example, a guide creator could create files with fitting Bash Tags and package the BashTags folder as an archive, distribute the archive as a download with the guide, and users can then simply install the archive with BAIN to get the right Bash Tags.

Wrye Bash has the ability to create these files through its GUI too - right click on a plugin's Bash Tags field in the Mods Tab sidebar and click Copy to BashTags to create or rewrite the matching file, placing all currently active Bash Tags in there.

The format for these files is simple - each line can specify one or more tags to be added or removed, in which case a minus should be prepended to the tag, separated by commas.

Note: BashTags files must be in UTF-8 encoding (ASCII is fine, since it is backwards-compatible).

An example to demonstrate their syntax follows:

# Everything after a '#' is a comment
# Every line that is not a comment
# or empty will add or remove tags
# from the plugin

Delev, Relev # This line will add two
             # new tags to the plugin...

-C.Water     # ...while this line removes
             # a tag from the plugin

# Addition and removal can also be
# done in one line:
C.Location, -C.LockList

# The result of this file would be:
# Added: C.Location, Delev, Relev
# Removed: C.LockList, C.Water

Bash Tags may also be set manually, by right-clicking a plugin's Bash Tags field in the Mods Tab sidebar and checking or unchecking tags in the list displayed. If you wish to revert to automatic tagging, choose Automatic in the right-click list. If you are a mod author, you may wish to use Copy to Description for your mod's plugins before releasing it to ensure that users have the tags applied automatically.

Note: A Bash Tag should only be applied when it is important that the plugin's change to whatever the Tag relates to is preserved. If a change your plugin makes is not important to the functioning of your mod, do not add a Bash Tag for it. Doing otherwise negates the purpose of the Bash Tag system.

Note: Not all record types or bash tags are available/supported for each game.

Merge Filtering Back to top

Merge filtering is an advanced option that allows records in a merged mod to be selectively filtered according to the current load order. For example, a patch mod could be created to rebalance weapons from several different weapon-adding mods. This feature would allow the patch to be used even if you didn't use all the mods, and the Bashed Patch would just apply the bits for the mods you do use. This saves the need for a separate patch plugin for each mod.

Merge filtering has requisite conditions that must be fulfilled for a plugin to take advantage of it, and some limitations. These conditions and limitations are:

The plugin must be mergeable and tagged with Filter.
The plugin must not be active at the time the patch is built. Note that if the user doesn't have all the plugin's masters installed, it will have to remain deactivated at all times.
Filtering is done according to the currently active plugins: it is therefore very important that all the desired plugins are active when the Bashed Patch is built.
Filtering is mostly limited to the top level, ie. if the plugin a record is from is missing, the record will be skipped. However, if a record references another record, and the latter's plugin is missing, the former will not be skipped, and the Bashed Patch will end up dependent on the latter's plugin being installed.
There are a few exceptions to the above limitation. The following table lists subrecords that contain lists of FormIDs. Any entries in such lists that do not map back to a loaded mods are simply filtered out by the Bashed Patch when performing merge filtering:

Item Interchange Mode Back to top

Item Interchange Mode is a 'hack' (a horribly inelegant and inconsistent implementation of a feature that nonetheless works) to support Vacuity's Item Interchange mod.

Activation of the mode for a plugin relies on the following conditions:

The plugin is tagged with IIM.
The plugin is being merged into the Bashed Patch.
The plugin is tagged with Filter.

Item Interchange Mode has the following effects:

Prevents the records in the plugin from being merged into the Bashed Patch, apart from leveled list records, which are merged in.
Prevents all the patch components except from the Leveled Lists and Import Inventory from even looking at the plugin.
Causes Import Inventory to ignore all changes in the plugin except inventory changes.

Tweak Options In Detail Back to top

Each Tweak... section has a table below that details the options found within it.

Unless a table explicitly lists the games for which each of its tweaks is available, they are only available for Oblivion.

Tweak Actors
Tweak	Description	Available For
As Intended: Boars	Adds the Bethesda Boar Resistances spells to all boars (found by the UOP team, based off of a mod made by Tejon).	Oblivion
As Intended: Imps	Adds the Bethesda Imp Resistances spells to imps (found by the UOP team, based off of a mod made by Tejon). May choose to apply to all imps, only full size imps, or only implings.	Oblivion
Irresponsible Creatures	Sets responsibility to 0 for all/specified creatures - so they can't report you for crimes.	Oblivion, Nehrim: At Fate's Edge, Fallout 3 & Fallout: New Vegas
Mayu's Animation Overhaul Skeleton Tweaker	Sets NPC skeletons paths to match that required for MAO to work. Requires Mayu's Animation Overhaul or it will almost certainly cause CTDs.	Oblivion
No Bloody Creatures	Nulls the blood records of all creatures; acts like 'Mart's Monster Mod - No Blood.esp' except it is universal and doesn't work with MMM (MMM uses a different system - it won't cause any harm if used with MMM, it will just have pretty much no effect).	Oblivion & Nehrim: At Fate's Edge
Opposite Gender Anims: Female	Enables or disables the 'Opposite Gender Anims' flag for all female NPCs. Similar to the 'Feminine Females' mod, but applies to your whole load order. If you're using this, you probably want Force Behavior Graph Gender: Female as well.	Skyrim, Enderal: Forgotten Stories & Skyrim: Special Edition
Opposite Gender Anims: Male	Enables or disables the 'Opposite Gender Anims' flag for all male NPCs. Similar to the 'Feminine Females' mod, but applies to your whole load order. If you're using this, you probably want Force Behavior Graph Gender: Male as well.	Skyrim, Enderal: Forgotten Stories & Skyrim: Special Edition
Quiet Feet	Removes all/some 'foot' sounds from creatures; on some computers can have a significant performance boost.	Oblivion, Nehrim: At Fate's Edge, Fallout 3 & Fallout: New Vegas
Real Walk for female NPCs	Changes all female NPCs to use Mur Zuk's Real Walk. Requires Mur Zuk's Real Walk animation file.	Oblivion
Redguard FGTS Nuller	Sets Redguard NPC FGTS subrecords to null; for use with Better Redguards.	Oblivion
Sexy Walk for female NPCs	Changes all female NPCs to use Mur Zuk's Sexy Walk. Requires Mur Zuk's Sexy Walk animation file.	Oblivion
VadersApp's Oblivion Real Bodies Skeleton Tweaker	Changes all (modded and vanilla) NPCs to use diverse skeletons for different look. Not compatible with MAO. Requires VadersApp's Oblivion Real Bodies.	Oblivion
Vanilla Beast Skeleton Tweaker	Sets any NPCs using the vanilla non-beast skeleton path (skeleton.nif) to use the beast skeleton patch (skeletonbeast.nif). This avoids bugs when a mod changes the race of an NPC to a beast race without setting the skeleton path to the beast path, in which case the tail will appear to extend forever and weird stuff like that.	Oblivion & Nehrim: At Fate's Edge

Tweak Assorted
Tweak	Description	Available For
All Armor Playable	Modifies non-playable armors to make them playable, unless the armor satisfies at least one of the following conditions (all checks are case-insensitive): It is unnamed. It is scripted. — Oblivion, Fallout 3 & Fallout New Vegas only.

Its (FULL) Name or (EDID) Editor ID subrecord contains "mark", except as part of "markynaz".	All but Fallout 4
All Clothing Playable	Modifies non-playable clothes to make them playable. The same conditions described above for `All Armor Playable` apply here too.	Oblivion & Nehrim: At Fate's Edge
All Guns Use Iron Sights Animation	Makes more guns use the iron sights animation. You can choose whether to tweak all guns, only energy weapons, or only conventional weapons.	Fallout 3 & Fallout: New Vegas
Armor Shows Amulets	Modifies playable armors to show amulets.	Oblivion & Nehrim: At Fate's Edge
Armor Shows Rings	Modifies playable armors to show rings.	Oblivion & Nehrim: At Fate's Edge
Bow Reach Fix	Some of the bows in Oblivion (and a few in user mods) have a reach of zero. Due to a bug in the Oblivion engine, if these bows are equipped by an NPC, the game will crash. This tweak changes bows with zero reach to have reach of 1.	Oblivion & Nehrim: At Fate's Edge
Clothing Shows Amulets	Modifies playable clothing to show amulets.	Oblivion & Nehrim: At Fate's Edge
Clothing Shows Rings	Modifies playable clothing to show rings.	Oblivion & Nehrim: At Fate's Edge

Faction Crime Gold Multiplier Fix	Fix factions with unset Crime Gold Multiplier to have a Crime Gold Multiplier of 1.0.	Oblivion & Nehrim: At Fate's Edge
Harvest Chance	Sets the harvest chance of all flora to the desired chance.	All but Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout 4
Magic: Script Effect Icon Changer	Changes the Script Effect icon to one of several choices, or to a custom icon.	Oblivion
Magic: Script Effect Silencer	Script Effects will be silenced and have no graphics.	Oblivion & Nehrim: At Fate's Edge
Magic: Summoning Absorption Fix	Adds the "No Absorb/Reflect" flag to all summoning spells. The absence of that flag can make summoning spells fail if you have any sources of spell absorption, e.g. perks or spells.	Skyrim, Enderal: Forgotten Stories & Skyrim: Special Edition
Mark All Water As Damaging	Adds the "Causes Damage" flag to every type of water in the game. Useful if you use needs mods (e.g. iNeed, RND, etc.) that make use of this flag, since it avoids the need to patch every type of water manually.	Skyrim, Enderal: Forgotten Stories & Skyrim: Special Edition
No Description Loading Screens	Removes the description from loading screens.	Oblivion, Nehrim: At Fate's Edge, Fallout 3 & Fallout: New Vegas
No Light Fade Value Fix	Sets the fade values on all lights to a default of 1.0 if not already set.	All but Fallout 4
No Light Flicker	Turns off flickering effects for lights. May help on machines with low end graphic cards.	All but Fallout 4
Number of Uses For Pre-enchanted Weapons and Staves	The charge amount and cast cost will be edited so that all enchanted weapons and staffs have the amount of uses specified. Cost will be rounded up to 1 (unless set to unlimited) so number of uses may not exactly match for all weapons.	Oblivion & Nehrim: At Fate's Edge
Nvidia Fog Fix	Ensures that cells have at least one non-zero fog value. For avoiding the Nvidia fog-related black screen. This feature is based on Quarn's Nvidia Black Screen Fix.	Oblivion, Nehrim: At Fate's Edge, Fallout 3 & Fallout: New Vegas
Reweigh: Ammunition	Reweighs ammunition (e.g. arrows, bullets, etc.) to a maximum weight. Note: In Skyrim: Special Edition, arrow weight is only used if you have the Survival Mode creation installed.	Oblivion, Nehrim: At Fate's Edge, Fallout: New Vegas & Skyrim: Special Edition
Reweigh: Books	Reweighs books to a maximum weight.	All but Fallout 4
Reweigh: Ingestibles (Minimum)	Reweighs ingestibles (potions and drinks, as well as food in newer games than Oblivion) to a minimum weight.	All but Fallout 4
Reweigh: Ingredients	Reweighs ingredients to a maximum weight. This does not affect ingredients with script effects or ones with OBME effects.	All but Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout 4
Reweigh: Potions (Maximum)	Reweighs potions to a maximum weight. This does not affect potions with script effects, ones with OBME effects or with current weight >= 1.0. Thus it should not affect alcoholic beverages or scripted "potions" like HTS water skins. Note that this is similar to, but not the same as, the Reweigh Potions command for savegames, which reweighs user created potions rather than mod created potions.	All but Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout 4
Reweigh: Staffs/Staves	Reweighs staves to a maximum weight.	All but Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout 4
Right Hand Rings	Makes rings behave more consistently by making all rings prefer to be on the right hand. With this tweak activated, rings will only equip to the left hand if the right hand has a ring, but the left hand does not. You can use this to make one ring permanently equipped - just equip it to the left hand and it will stay on until you specifically unequip it.	Oblivion & Nehrim: At Fate's Edge
Set Sound Attenuation Levels	The sound attenuation levels will be set to tweak%*current level, thereby increasing (or decreasing) the sound volume (lower attenuation = higher volume). Does not affect Nirnroots (see below).	All but Fallout 4
Set Sound Attenuation Levels: Nirnroots Only	The sound attenuation levels will be set to tweak%*current level, thereby increasing (or decreasing) the sound volume (lower attenuation = higher volume). This one only affects Nirnroots (see above).	Oblivion, Skyrim & Skyrim: Special Edition
Set Sound Attenuation Levels: Vynroots Only	Same as Set Sound Attenutation Levels: Nirnroots Only, but for games set in the Vyn universe.	Nehrim: At Fate's Edge & Enderal: Forgotten Stories
Skyrim-style Weapons	Sets all one handed weapons as blades, two handed weapons as blunt.	Oblivion & Nehrim: At Fate's Edge
Uniform Groundcover	Eliminates the random variation in groundcover (grass, vines, shrubs, etc). Tall groundcover will still be taller than short groundcover, but there will be less variation in size. May help on lower end machines.	All but Fallout 4

Tweak Clothes
Tweak	Description	Available For
Gloves Show Rings	Prevents gloves from hiding rings.	Oblivion & Nehrim: At Fate's Edge
Max Weight Amulets	Sets the maximum weight of amulets in the game. Amulets with higher weights will have their weight set to this value.	Oblivion & Nehrim: At Fate's Edge
Max Weight Hoods	Sets the maximum weight of hoods in the game. Hoods with higher weights will have their weight set to this value.	Oblivion & Nehrim: At Fate's Edge
Max Weight Rings	Sets the maximum weight of rings in the game. Rings with higher weights will have their weight set to this value.	Oblivion & Nehrim: At Fate's Edge
Robes Show Amulets	Forces all robes to show amulets.	Oblivion & Nehrim: At Fate's Edge
Robes Show Pants	Allows you to wear pants/skirts/greaves with robes. This is useful for armor and enchantment. Not recommended because graphics clipping is common.	Oblivion & Nehrim: At Fate's Edge
Unlimited Amulets	Allows you to wear an unlimited number of amulets. Not recommended because it is unbalancing and it prevents amulets from displaying (i.e., they won't appear around your or NPC's necks). Note also that this will affect any and all clothes that are flagged as amulets, whether they really are amulets or not (e.g. many capes from Hemingwey's Capes are affected).	Oblivion & Nehrim: At Fate's Edge
Unlimited Rings	Allows you to wear an unlimited number of rings. Not recommended because it is unbalancing and it prevents rings from displaying (i.e., they won't appear on your or NPC's fingers). Note also that this will affect any and all clothes that are flagged as rings, whether they really are rings or not.	Oblivion & Nehrim: At Fate's Edge

Note regarding Tweak Names: Almost all the Sort: tweaks will skip records whose (FULL) Name starts with one of the following characters: +, -, =, ., (, ), [, ], <, >. The reason for this is because items with names that start with such characters are almost always special, mod-added items that should not be touched by these tweaks. Exceptions will be noted in the description of the tweak.

Tweak Names

Tweak Description Available For

Append Ammunition Weight Appends the ammunition weight of (AMMO) Ammunition records to the end of their name. Weight is formatted using exactly two decimal places, i.e. 0.1 will be shown as 0.10, while 0.001 will be shown as 0.00.
For Fallout 3, this tweak does nothing unless you have FO3 Wanderers Edition (FWE) installed. If you do have it installed, it uses the FWE ammo weight to rename.
For Skyrim: Special Edition, arrow weight is only used if you have the Survival Mode creation installed.
You can also specify a custom format. It must contain a single %s specifier, which will be replaced by the ammunition weight. For example, the custom format %s would rename ammunition called BB with a weight of 0.01 to BB 0.01. Oblivion, Nehrim: At Fate's Edge, Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas & Skyrim: Special Edition

Body Part Codes

This determines what codes will be used for tweaking armor and clothes covering various body parts. What types of items the code letters are assigned to varies from game to game. They are assigned in the following order:

Game	Body Part Codes
Oblivion & Nehrim: At Fate's Edge	10 categories of items: Amulets Rings (left or right ring) Gloves Helmets (head or hair) Tail items Robes (upper and lower body) Chest Pants/Greaves Boots/Shoes Shields For example, the value `ARGHTCCPBS` will assign A to amulets, R to rings, G to gloves, etc.
Fallout 3 & Fallout: New Vegas	7 categories of items: Head (head, hair, headband or hair) Body Gloves (left or right hand) Pipboy Backpack Fancy (necklace, eyeglasses, nose ring, earrings, mask, coker or mouth object) Accessory (body addon 1, 2 or 3) For example, the value `HAGPBFE` will assign H to head armor, A to body armor, G to gloves, etc.
Skyrim, Enderal: Forgotten Stories and Skyrim: Special Edition	7 categories of items: Head (head, hair, circlet, long hair or ears) Body Arms (hands or forearms) Legs (feet or calves) Amulets Rings Shields For example, the value `HAGBMRS` will assign H to helmets, A to armor and clothing, G to gloves, etc.

You can specify a custom value as well. It is specified as a string that must have the same length as the number of codes. See the examples in the table up above.

All but Fallout 4

Proper English Text: Dwarfs -> Dwarves Renames any instances of Dwarfs to Dwarves (case-insensitive, but preserves case).

Note: If both this tweak and Lore Friendly Text: Dwarven -> Dwemer are active, that tweak will take preference. All but Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas & Fallout 4

Proper English Text: Staffs -> Staves Renames any instances of Staffs to Staves (case-insensitive, but preserves case). All but Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas & Fallout 4

Rename Bottle Caps Changes the (FULL) Name of bottle caps (Caps001 [MISC:0000000F]) to something else. You may choose a custom name. Fallout 3 & Fallout: New Vegas

Rename Gold Changes the (FULL) Name of gold (Gold001 [MISC:0000000F]) to something else. You may choose a custom name. Oblivion, Nehrim: At Fate's Edge, Skyrim & Skyrim: Special Edition

Skyrim-style Text: Security -> Lockpicking Renames any instances of Security to Lockpicking, except in books because of the huge number of false positives (case-insensitive, but preserves case). Oblivion & Nehrim: At Fate's Edge

Sort: Armor Tweaks names of armors to make them sort more easily in the inventory. The tweak options specify the format used to change armor names. They prepend two letters and optionally the armor rating to the armor name. The first letter is one of the ones from the Body Part Codes tweak, the second one is an L if the armor is light and an H if the armor is heavy.

You can specify a custom value as well. It must contain a single %s format specifier, which will be replaced by the two letters mentioned above. It may contain a single %02d format specifier, which will be replaced with the armor rating. For example, the custom format [%s: %02d] would rename an armor called Leather Boots with an armor rating of 2 to [BL: 02] Leather Boots. Oblivion & Nehrim: At Fate's Edge

Sort: Armor/Clothes Same as the Sort: Armor and Sort: Clothes tweaks combined. In newer games, there is no real distinction between the two anymore.

For Fallout 3 & Fallout: New Vegas, the second letter can also be P, which indicates power armor.
For Fallout: New Vegas, it can also be M, which indicates medium armor.
For Skyrim, Enderal: Forgotten Stories & Skyrim: Special Edition, it can also be C, which indicates clothing. All but Oblivion, Nehrim: At Fate's Edge & Fallout 4

Sort: Clothes Tweaks names of clothes to make them sort more easily in the inventory. Works similarly to the Sort: Armor tweak, but the second letter does not exist (since there are no light or heavy clothes) and there is no way to display armor rating (since clothes do not have armor rating).

You can specify a custom value as well. It must contain a single %s format specifier, which will be replaced by the two letters mentioned above. For example, the custom format %s* would rename a piece of clothing called Grey Trousers to P* Grey Trousers. Oblivion & Nehrim: At Fate's Edge

Sort: Ingestibles

Tweaks names of ingestibles (potions and drinks, as well as food in newer games than Oblivion) to make them sort more easily in the inventory. This tweak behaves quite differently, depending on the game:

Oblivion & Nehrim: At Fate's Edge:
Always prepends a . if the ingestible is marked as food, regardless of the chosen format. For example, a drink called Beer would be renamed to .Beer.

Poisons (potions with only harmful effects) will have two letters prepended: an X and a letter corresponding to the primary effect's school (see the table in the Sort: Spells entry.). For example, using the format %s: , a poison called called Poison of Weakness with a primary effect from the school of Destruction would be renamed to XD: Poison of Weakness.

Potions (all ALCH records that don't fall into the two categories above) will only have the primary effect letter prepended. For example, using the format from above, a potion called Potion of Regeneration with an effect from the school of Restoration would be renamed to R: Potion of Regeneration.

Fallout 3 & Fallout: New Vegas: Every ingestible will have a single letter prepended, based on its (ETYP) Equipment Type and whether or not the Food Item flag is set in (ENIT) Effect Data:

Condition	Code
Equipment Type is Chems (10)	C
Equipment Type is Stimpak (11)	S
Equipment Type is Food (12), Food Item flag is set	F
Equipment Type is Food (12), Food Item flag is not set (Other, includes e.g. skill magazines)	O
Equipment Type is Alcohol (13)	A
None of the previous conditions hold (Unknown, probably a special mod item)	U

For example, using the format #%s , an item called Radroach Meat with an Equipment Type of Food (12) and the Food Item flag set would be renamed to #F Radroach Meat.

You can specify a custom value as well. It must contain a single %s format specifier, which will be replaced by the letter codes detailed above, and may contain any other characters. See the examples listed above.

Oblivion, Nehrim: At Fate's Edge, Fallout 3 & Fallout: New Vegas

Sort: Notes/Scrolls Tweaks names of notes and scrolls to make them sort more easily in the inventory. Each note/scroll will have a ~ or a . as prepended (note that the ~ will not display in the inventory). Formats that start with a ~ will prepend the ~ to enchanted scrolls and the . to notes. Formats that start with a . function in reverse. You can also choose to include a letter denoting the magic school that the first effect on the scroll belongs to (see the table in the Sort: Spells entry.)

You can specify a custom value as well. It must start with either ~ or ., as described above, and may contain a single %s specifier, which will be replaced by a letter matching the primary effect's school. For example, the custom format ~<%s> would rename an enchanted scroll called Fireball to ~<D> Fireball and a regular note called Handwritten Note to .Handwritten Note. Oblivion & Nehrim: At Fate's Edge

Sort: Scrolls Tweaks names of scrolls to make them sort more easily in the inventory. Each scroll will have a letter denoting the magic school that the first effect on the scroll belongs to prepended (see the table in the Sort: Spells entry.).

You can specify a custom value as well. It must contain a single %s specifier, which will be replaced by a letter matching the primary effect's school. For example, the custom format @%s would rename a scroll called Fireball to @D Fireball. Skyrim, Enderal: Forgotten Stories, Skyrim: Special Edition

Sort: Spells

Tweaks names of spells to make them sort more easily in the menu. Each spell can have a letter denoting its primary school and/or the spell level prepended.

The primary school is the magic school to which the first effect of the record belongs:

School	Code
Alteration	A
Conjuration	C
Destruction	D
Illusion	I
Mysticism - Oblivion & Nehrim: At Fate's Edge only	M
Restoration	R
Unknown	U

The spell level is a simple integer representing how proficient you have to be in the associated school to cast the spell:

Spell Level	Meaning
0	Novice
1	Apprentice
2	Adept/Journeyman
3	Expert
4	Master

You can specify a custom value as well. It may contain a single %s specifier, a single %02d specifier, both, or neither. For example, the custom format %s|%02d would rename a spell called Fireball from the school of Destruction with a level of 2 to D|02 Fireball.

All but Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout 4

Sort: Weapons/Ammunition

Tweaks names of weapons and ammunition to make them sort more easily in the inventory.

For (WEAP) Weapon records, a single letter indicating the weapon type is prepended.
For Oblivion & Nehrim: At Fate's Edge, the (DATA) Type is used:

(DATA) Type	Code
Blade One Hand (0)	C
Blade Two Hand (1)	D
Blunt One Hand (2)	E
Blunt Two Hand (3)	F
Staff (4)	G
Bow (5)	B
Other (any other value)	O

For Skyrim, Enderal: Forgotten Stories & Skyrim: Special Edition, the (DATA) Animation Type is used:

(DATA) Animation Type	Code
Hand To Hand Melee (0)	H
One Hand Sword (1)	S
One Hand Dagger (2)	D
One Hand Axe (3)	X
One Hand Mace (4)	M
Two Hand Sword (5)	G
Two Hand Axe (6)	W
Bow (7)	B
Staff (8)	T
Crossbow (9)	C
Other (any other value)	O

For (AMMO) Ammunition records, an A is used instead. In either case, you can also choose to include the damage dealt by the weapon/ammunition.

Note: This tweak does not ignore records starting with the special characters outlined in the note above.

You can specify a custom value as well. It must contain a single %s specifier and may contain a single %02d specifier. For example, the custom format W%s%02d would rename a weapon called Elven Bow with a damage of 14 to WB14 Elven Bow.

All but Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas and Fallout 4

Sort: Weapons

Similar to Sort: Weapons/Ammunition. Does not support ammunition (since AMMO records do not have damage in these games) and uses a different set of codes based on the (ETYP) Equipment Type:

Equipment Type	Code
Big Guns (0)	B
Energy Weapons (1)	E
Small Guns (2)	S
Melee Weapons (3)	M
Unarmed Weapons (4)	U
Thrown Weapons (5)	T
Mine (6)	L
Other (any other value)	O

You can specify a custom value as well. It must contain a single %s specifier and may contain a single %02d specifier. For example, the custom format %s%02d$ would rename a weapon called BB Gun with a damage of 10 to S10$ BB Gun.

Fallout 3 & Fallout: New Vegas

Note regarding Tweak Settings: In some cases for newer games the following Tweaks may become a permanent part of your saves, and so should be set prior to starting a new game.
Trying to change settings in a continued game by rebuilding your Bashed Patch may fail for games newer than Oblivion & Nehrim: At Fate's Edge, because the setting will be loaded from your save file (which the game loads last, after the Bashed Patch).
For example, World: Timescale, once changed, is known to become permanently baked in your save game for Skyrim, Enderal: Forgotten Stories & Skyrim: Special Edition. It can be set once, but thereafter is part of your saves, and can only be changed by console command or by starting a new game.

Leveled Lists Back to top

The leveled list patcher is slightly odd in comparison to the others: it's effectively an Import... patcher, but its options are decided automatically by default.

First, a bit of background. When different plugins alter the same leveled list, only the last loaded plugin's changes get applied. This tends not to be what is wanted. The leveled list patcher circumvents the issue by instead merging all the changes made to leveled lists and having this merged set of changes applied.

The leveled list merging is dictated by related Bash Tags, and functions as follows.

The load order of plugins is still important to the result of the leveled list patcher. It decides what plugins' effects override others.
Untagged plugins can only add new entries to leveled lists. If such a plugin adds an entry that already exists, it will be ignored. Furthermore, even if another plugin has already marked that entry as removed, it will not be re-added.
Delev tagged plugins can remove entries from leveled lists. Any items present in such a plugin's masters but not in the plugin itself will be removed.
Relev tagged plugins can relevel an existing entry (ie. change its levels and/or counts in the list), and can also override previous deletions of entries from leveled lists. However, it does not prevent a later-loading Delev tagged plugin from then removing an entry again.
Delev and Relev tagged mods simply combines the effects of the Delev and Relev Bash Tags.
In addition to the above, if the Remove Empty Sublists checkbox is ticked, the leveled list patcher will remove any empty sublists from leveled lists. These would otherwise cause the leveled list to select nothing if such a sublist was picked in-game. However, the patcher cannot distinguish between leveled lists that are empty by mistake and ones that get filled at runtime, so this option is only safe to enable if you know your load order does not contain any mods with 'leveled list injectors'.

It's best to simply ensure that your plugins have the correct tags and leave this section on automatic. To add plugins to or remove plugins from the list, uncheck the Automatic checkbox, and use the Add or Remove buttons. The latter will remove the currently selected plugin.

To manually override the Delev/Relev Bash Tags for a plugin, right-click it in the section list and check or uncheck the relevant options as desired. To return to the automatic setting, select the Auto option in the right-click menu.

Saves Tab Back to top

Overview Back to top

The Saves tab allows you to manage many aspects related to your game's saves. Save files are found in the My Games\[Game]\Saves directory and have the file extension .ess. When you quicksave or autosave, the game backs up the previous quick/autosave by replacing the file extension with .bak. This backup may be restored by restoring its original file extension.

If you have Pluggy and/or the game's Script Extender installed, each of your save files will have a corresponding cosave containing the Pluggy/OBSE/SKSE-specific data. These cosaves have file extensions .pluggy, .obse, .skse for Pluggy, OBSE and SKSE respectively.

The Saves tab is divided into two sections: the main panel lists your save files and displays some of their details in its columns. The Save Details panel on the right displays some more information relating to the currently selected save file. It comprises of the following sections:

Section	Description
File Name	This is the filename of the save. Changing it here will rename the save file.
Player Info	These three lines give the player character's name, their level, days have passed in-game, hours played and current location.
O/P Flags	These two flags appear to the right of the player info, and indicate the presence of cosave files: O is for OBSE cosaves, and P is for Pluggy cosaves.
Screenshot	The screenshot embedded in the save file, taken at the moment of saving.
Masters List	The Masters list shows the plugins that the currently selected save file depends on, the load order (Mod Index) of that master in the save file, and the current load order of the master plugin if present and active. Masters in the list can be renamed if the corresponding plugin has been renamed. To rename a master, first allow editing from the masters list column context menu and then either left-click it and edit it in the column display, or right-click it and select Change to... to select the desired replacement plugin from the Data directory. Note that you should only do this if the new name is a new version of the same mod. Replacing a mod with an unrelated mod will cause file corruption. If editing is allowed, items that are renamed inside Bash internal dictionaries appear bolded - on clicking on the masterlist they take their renamed values and the Save and Cancel buttons are enabled. You may click on Save to save the new master list, or on Cancel to revert displaying the non renamed masters. Disallowing edits will revert the list to the original and disable Save and Cancel buttons (if no other fields are edited). Note that currently renaming the master in the OBSE/SKSE cosave is NOT supported (except for very old OBSE versions). If the save has a cosave this will most probably corrupt the cosave. See the related issue (help wanted). Masters can also be disabled (again if editing is allowed) if they have been removed and are preventing your save from loading, as may sometimes happen, by right-clicking them and selecting Disable. Note that logical errors may still occur that prevent the removal of the plugin dependency, but this will let the game try to remove the dependency.
MI	Master Index of the save game. This means the actual number of the masters in succession starting with e.g. 00 Skyrim.esm, or 00 Oblivion.esm, etc.
Current LO	Current load order in relation to the load order of the Active Plugins. Active Plugins should correspond with plugins.txt.
Notes	This section can be used to keep notes on the save file.

Color scheme for Save Game Files Back to top

Checkbox Colour	Meaning
	Excellent. Exactly synced with the current load order.
	Good. Compatible with the current load order. However, the current load order includes some plugins that are not used by this save game. You can use Activate Masters to sync active plugins to this save.
	Good, but not in sync with the current active mods. You can use Activate Masters to sync active plugins to this save.
	Some plugins have changed order. The game and the TESCS/GECK/CK will adjust for this when loaded. However, if some of the plugins that you use made conflicting changes to the same item, a different plugin may now dominate because of the reordering. You can use Reorder Masters to sync load order to this save.
	A master is missing. You should check to make sure that you have not inadvertently renamed or removed the plugin.

Color scheme for Save Game Masters (MI & Current LO) Back to top

Checkbox Colour	Meaning
	Good. Matches the Master Index of the save game at the time it was saved.
	Good, but the Master Index is not in sync with the Current load order.
	Some plugins have changed order. The plugin still exists in the Data folder but a plugin was added or removed before of after this plugin.
	A plugin is missing. If unintended then you should check to make sure that you have not inadvertently renamed or removed the plugin.

Save Profiles Back to top

Save profiles are like player accounts, in that they consist of a load order plus a set of save files. They can be used to allow safe and easy switching between different characters than may use different combinations of mods, or between different stages of the same character's life (where different mods have been used in each stage). They can also associate different versions of Oblivion.esm with different save profiles, using Oblivion.esm Swapping.

To create or modify save profiles, use the Edit Profiles... command in the Profile submenu of the column header context menu. You can create a new save profile using Add, delete the selected existing save profile using Remove and rename the selected save profile using Rename. The central text field can be used to store notes on the selected save profile.

To select a save profile, select it from the list visible in the Profile submenu of the column header context menu.

To assign save files to a save profile, use the Move To or Copy To submenus in the save file context menu. This will also assign any related cosave files.

Face Import Back to top

Faces may be imported from saves to saves or plugins, or from plugins to saves. This allows you to preserve a character's appearance should you wish to restart a character, to roleplay as a particular character, or to turn your character into an NPC that may be encountered during playing, among other uses.

To import a face to a save:

Select the Import Face... command in a save file's context menu.
Choose the source save or plugin in the file dialogue that is displayed.
Choose the actor whose face you want to import. Click on a face in the list to display its details. If an image is associated with the face, it will be displayed.
- If you chose a source plugin, the plugin's NPCs will be listed.
- If you chose a source save, the player character will be at the top of the list, possibly followed by some clones of the player that the game uses for various purposes and some other NPCs.
Use the checkboxes to select additional characteristics to import.
- The Race Import is incomplete. It will change the physical appearance and identification of the character, but not the racial powers.
- Use the Stats Import with care. In-game stats are a combination of base stats, magical modifiers and scripted modifications. This command only affects the base stats. As such, the in-game effect may be negative or bizarrely high. In addition, such alteration of stats often confuses releveling mods, and such a mod may require temporary removal so that stats are imported to a save which does not have it active. Such mods can be reinstalled once the stats have been imported.
Click the Import button to finish.

To import a face to a plugin:

Create a new plugin using the New Mod command from the File menu of the plugin context menu in the Mods tab.
Right-click the new plugin and select Import Face....
Choose the source save in the file dialogue that is displayed.

Some notes on the usage of Face Import:

Face Import does not check for unique Editor IDs. The Construction Set will inform you of any duplicates and auto-rename them, though you will probably want to rename them manually as DUPLICATE0000 is not very informative.
If you want to associate an image with a face, save the image to Data\Docs\Images\[EditorID].jpg, where [EditorID] is the Editor ID of the face. The size of the image box is 250x210 pixels. Wrye Bash will scale down any image supplied to fit the box.
To tweak the stats of an existing character, try importing them to a plugin, editing them there and then importing the character back into your save file.
Normally when importing a face to a plugin, only eyes and hair from Oblivion.esm or the destination plugin will be imported. However, the following steps can be used to import eyes and hairs that come from other mods.
- Convert the source cosmetic ESP to an ESM, using the Copy to Esm command in the plugin context menu in the Mods tab.
- Open the destination plugin in the Construction Set, also loading the converted source cosmetic ESM.
- Save the plugin in the Construction Set.
- In Wrye Bash's Mods tab, select the converted source cosmetic ESM in the destination plugin's Masters List and use the Change to... command to select the source cosmetic ESP.
- Now import the face as normal. The eyes/hair should also be imported.

Context Menu Commands Back to top

Column Header Context Menu
Command		Description
Sort By		This submenu allows you to choose by which column the save list is sorted. This is equivalent to clicking on a column header.
Columns		This submenu allows you to choose which columns are visible in the save list.
Files..	Open Folder...	Opens the saves folder in Windows Explorer.
Files..	Unhide...	Opens a dialogue window allowing you to select which hidden save files to unhide.
Profile	Edit Profiles...	This submenu allows the creation, editing and removal of save profiles.
Profile	[Profile]	[Profile] is the name of a save profile, which are listed below the separator in the Profile submenu. Clicking a save profile will activate it.
Oblivion.esm		Oblivion only. This submenu relates to Oblivion.esm Swapping. It allows you to swap the active version of Oblivion.esm.

Save Context Menu
Command		Description
File..	Rename...	Rename the selected save file.
	Duplicate...	Creates a duplicate of the selected save file in the saves folder.
	Hide...	Moves the selected save file to the `My Games\[Game]\ Saves\[optional profile dir\]Bash\Hidden` directory.
	Delete	Deletes the selected save(s) and any associated backups. Deleted saves are sent to the Recycling Bin.
	Backup	Creates a backup of the selected save file in `[Game] Mods\Bash Mod Data\Backups`. On first run, the backed-up save file has `f` appended to its file extension, giving `.essf` or `.fosf`.
	Revert to Backup...	Reverts the selected save file to the last backup made of it.
	Revert to First Backup...	Reverts the selected save file to the first backup made of it.
Move To		This submenu allows you to specify a save profile to move the selected save(s) to from the active save profile.
Copy To		This submenu allows you to specify a save profile to copy the selected save(s) to, so that it is present in both the active and specified save profiles.
Activate Masters		Activates exactly the plugins present in the selected savegame's masters.
Reorder Masters		Reorders plugins in the load order to match the order of the selected savegame's masters.
List Masters...		Lists savegame masters in load order and copies the list to the clipboard. Version numbers are displayed if detected.
Diff Masters...		If two savegames are selected, then this will compare the masters of the new save to those of the older save. If one savegame is selected, then this will compare the currently active plugins to the masters of the selected savegame. The comparison details masters that have been removed and added in the newer save since the older save, or removed and added in the load order since the selected save.
Statistics		Oblivion & Nehrim: At Fate's Edge only. This produces a set of various technical statistics for the selected savegame. The following information is produced: Array sizes. These arrays are for each of the major sections in the save file. Created items. These are items created in-game, through scripting or some sort of crafting skill (e.g. alchemy, spellmaking). FormIDs. This is a breakdown of the FormID table in the savegame, sorted by source plugin. The FormID table maps savegame reference numbers to the FormID of the referenced record. If a reference is made to a record from a mod that is no longer loaded, the FormID is replaced with a 0. Record details. This gives a breakdown of the different types of records stored in the save file. The type is given as a number and as text (e.g. `48 Cell`), and then the number of records referenced from each plugin is given below. New ObjectRef Bases. These are objects that belong to the savegame, for example arrows dropped on the ground in-game. They generally are created and destroyed by the game as required, though bad scripting techniques can cause some of them to stick around. The "Base" of an objectRef is the BaseID of the object (e.g., the FormID of a steel arrow from Oblivion.esm). The ObjectRef refers to these indirectly through an "iref". Usually this will map back to a FormID, but if the original mod has been removed from the load order, then the FormID is set to zero. If this has happened, then a count of such "Null Bases" will be shown. After the "Null Base" count (if present) is a list of New ObjectRef Bases where the count is over 100 (e.g. if there are over 100 new arrows lying around). Shown is the count, the iref and the base FormID. FormIDs beginning with FF are references to an object defined by the savegame. Otherwise, the FormID will map back to a mod. The first two digits are the modindex, and can be matched to a mod through the "MI" column in the list of savegame masters.
Dump .**se Contents		This is similar to Statistics above, but reports statistics for the `.**se` cosave file (e.g. `.obse` for Oblivion or `.skse` for Skyrim) associated with the selected save.
Dump .pluggy Contents		Oblivion & Nehrim: At Fate's Edge only. Behaves like Dump .**se Contents, but for the Pluggy cosave associated with the selected save.
Delete Spells...		Oblivion & Nehrim: At Fate's Edge only. This allows you to delete unused spells from your spell list in the selected save. Warning: This cannot be undone. Most spells may be repurchased or recreated, but quest and other special spells can most likely only be readded using the console.
Rename Player...		Oblivion & Nehrim: At Fate's Edge only. Renames the player's character in the selected save.
Set Number of Uses for Weapon Enchantments...		Oblivion & Nehrim: At Fate's Edge only. Allows you to set the number of casts available to any enchanted weapon you created in-game, or that has otherwise been recorded in your savegame.
Import Face...		Oblivion & Nehrim: At Fate's Edge only. Relates to Face Importing. This command allows you to import a face for the save file's player character (and possibly some NPCs) from another save file or from an NPC in a mod.
Rename Enchanted...		Oblivion & Nehrim: At Fate's Edge only. Allows you to rename any enchanted items that you have created in-game for the selected save.
Rename Potions...		Oblivion & Nehrim: At Fate's Edge only. Allows you to rename any potions that you have created in-game for the selected save.
Rename Spells...		Oblivion & Nehrim: At Fate's Edge only. Allows you to rename any spells that you have created in-game for the selected save.
Reweigh Potions...		Oblivion & Nehrim: At Fate's Edge only. Potions created in-game are given a weight that is somewhat arbitrarily selected and potentially high. This command may be used to set all created potions to have a specific weight. Potions created after the use of this command with new names, new effects or new durations will not be affected.
Update NPC Levels...		Oblivion & Nehrim: At Fate's Edge only. Updates the level information for NPCs stored in the selected savegame to reflect the active load order's NPC level settings. This is required because although NPC levels are set via plugins, once an NPC is encountered its level is stored in the save file, which overrides the plugin levels.
Export Screenshot...		Allows you to save the image used as the save file's screenshot as a JPEG.
Re-number Save(s)...		Allows the re-numbering of the selected save file(s). If more than one file is selected, the first will be renumbered to the given number and the others will be numbered in increments of one from the given number. The save name must be of the form `<Save (case insensitive)> <some digits><optional text>.<save extension>`.
Remove Bloat...		Oblivion & Nehrim: At Fate's Edge only. This is an experimental command. It is recommended that saves are backed up before using it on them. It attempts to determine how much bloating there is in the selected save file and then optionally remove it. If the command reports a large number of created objects, there could be a problem with one of your mods, and such mods should be removed or updated. There are two common types of bloat: Excess created objects can occur through the use of scripting by a mod to duplicate existing objects in-game and a failure by the mod to clean up the duplicates after their use. Null references are caused when objects from a mod that is removed are present in the game world. These objects then get replaced with null references when the game is next saved with the mod missing.
Repair Abomb		Oblivion & Nehrim: At Fate's Edge only. Abomb Animation Slowing is a slowing of animations that typically occurs around 225 hours into the game, though it may occur earlier or later. This is an engine bug, and this command avoids its effects by resetting a related counter (TesClass Abomb counter is reset to 0x41000000).
Repair Hair		Oblivion & Nehrim: At Fate's Edge only. Oblivion has a bug that will cause a crash if your PC's hair comes from a mod that has been removed and you then run showRaceMenu. This command resets your hair to the default for that race and gender, so you can then use showRaceMenu to select a new hair again if you wish.

Save Masters List Column Header Context Menu
Command		Description
Sort By		This submenu allows you to choose by which column the masters list is sorted. This is equivalent to clicking on a column header.
Allow Editing		Allow (or disallow) editing of the masters list. Enables (or disables) the items' context menu entries.
Clear Renames		Clears the internal renames dictionary, meaning that maters that were previously renamed will no longer be automatically renamed in future plugins' master lists.

Save Masters List Items Context Menu
Command		Description
Change to...		Rename a master by selecting the desired replacement plugin from the Data folder. It will add the plugin to the internal renames dictionary of Wrye Bash and bold it on any master list that it appears in. Hit Save to edit the selected file permanently. Equivalent to left clicking the selected master for a second time, just allows you to select the plugin from the Data directory instead of entering the name manually. Note that you should only do this if the new name is a new version of the same plugin. Replacing a plugin with an unrelated plugin will cause file corruption. Note also that as of 307, the master will be renamed in the xSE cosave as well. As of the time of writing, all third party xSE plugins that store plugin names into the cosaves that we're aware of are supported.
Disable		Oblivion, Nehrim: At Fate's Edge, Fallout 3 & Fallout: New Vegas only. If you want to remove a plugin from active use, you can usually just start playing without the plugin loaded. However, this won't work if the plugin is an esm. You can get around this by right clicking on the name and selecting Disable. This will rename the master to a non-existent esp. Note that you still may run into logical errors which prevent the esm from being removed. But at least this way the game will try to run without the master.
Jump to Master		Jumps to the specified master on the Mods tab. You can double-click on the master to the same effect.

Screenshots Tab Back to top

Overview Back to top

The Screenshots tab allows you to preview any screenshots taken in-game using the built-in Print Screen functionality. These screenshots are saved as bitmap files (.bmp). Selecting a screenshot from the list on the left will display it on the right. Screenshots can be converted from bitmaps into a few other formats using context menu commands.

Change screenshots directory (Oblivion) Back to top

By default, Oblivion stores its screenshots in Oblivion's root folder but allows you to change the default directory via an ini setting. You can change the ini setting by directly editing Oblivion.ini or by using the "Next Shot" column menu item in the Screenshots tab. For instance Oblivion Reloaded uses Oblivion\Screenshots. To change the screenshots directory to Oblivion\Screenshots by editing the Oblivion.ini find the following line under the [Display] heading:

SScreenShotBaseName=ScreenShot

and add the path to the Oblivion\Screenshots folder, i.e.:

SScreenShotBaseName=C:\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\ScreenShots\Screenshot

Alternatively hit "Next Shot" and supply the path as in:

C:\Bethesda Softworks\Oblivion\ScreenShots\Screenshot0

where 0 is the (optional) Screenshot base number (it will set the iScreenShotIndex ini setting). A relative path will also work (as in Screenshots\Screenshot). Bash will go ahead and edit the ini for you. You may also create an ini tweak to readily switch directories.

IMPORTANT: The base filename "Screenshot" (or any other base name you like) must be included in the path or Oblivion's native screenshots will not work - that is pressing the Prt Scr key will do nothing.

Context Menu Commands Back to top

Column Header Context Menu
Command		Description
Sort By		This submenu allows you to choose by which column the screenshot list is sorted. This is equivalent to clicking on a column header.
Columns		This submenu allows you to choose which columns are visible in the screenshot list.
Files..	Open	Open the screenshot directory in Windows Explorer.
Next Shot		Set any or all of the base name and number of the next screenshot as well as the screenshot directory.
JPEG Quality		Set the quality of JPEGs created during conversion.

Screenshot List Context Menu
Command		Description
File..	Open...	Opens the selected file(s) in the associated program(s).
	Rename...	Renames the selected file(s). If multiple files are selected, they will be numbered sequentially. If a file already exists with the same name as a file's resulting name, that file will not be renamed. The extension will remain the same and specifying a non-image extension will make the rename operation fail - in short, leave the extension alone. Empty filenames will also abort the rename.
	Delete	Deletes the selected screenshot(s). Deleted screenshots are sent to the Recycling Bin.
Convert		Converts the selected files to one of the following formats: JPEG, PNG, BMP, TIFF. If a file of the conversion format already exists with the same name as a file to be converted, the conversion will not take place for that file.

Advanced Launchers Back to top

Hiding Launchers Back to top

toolbar hide launcher — The Hide option in the right-click menu for launchers.

You can hide specific launcher icons, preventing them from being displayed, by right-clicking them and selecting Hide... or by inserting a semicolon before their path in the bash.ini.

For example, sPhotoshopPath=;C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop 7.0\Photoshop.exe.

You can hide some of the toggle buttons using the bShowTes4... options in the Tool Options in the bash.ini.

You can unhide launchers hidden through the right-click option using the Settings menu. See the Settings Menu for more information.

Custom Launchers Back to top

Custom launcher buttons may be added by putting a shortcut to the application you wish to have a launcher for in the Mopy\Apps directory. Wrye Bash will then use the following information from the shortcut:

Icon
Working directory
Command line arguments
Comments

If you want to have a custom icon for a launcher, place a PNG image with the same name as the shortcut, appending the icon size, in the same folder. For example:

Notepadpp.lnk
Notepadpp24.png

Note: 24x24 icons taken from shortcuts do not work well, so if you are using this size, be sure to include a custom icon. Icon size displayed can be adjusted in the bash.ini or the Settings menu.

The status bar page can be used to tweak the status bar at the bottom of the screen in various ways.

Status Bar Options
Option	Function
Show App Version	If enabled, the versions of applications will be shown in their launchers' tooltips on the status bar.
Icon Size	Choose between 16x16, 24x24, or 32x32 status bar icons.
Visible/Hidden Buttons	Allows you to manage which buttons will be shown on the status bar. To change a button's state, select it and use the left/right arrows to move it between the two lists.

Backups Back to top

The backups page can be used to manage backups of various Wrye Bash-related files.

A full list of everything that Wrye Bash will back up follows:

Your bash.ini, if present.
The Wrye Bash-specific documents in Data\Docs, like Bashed Patch, 0.html and Bashed Patch, 0.txt.
The Mods, Installer, and Converter meta-data stored in [Game] Mods.
Any user profiles you have created.
Your application and UI settings.
Your people from the People tab.
Any translation files you have.
All files in the Data\Bash Patches directory.
All files in the Data\BashTags directory.
All INI Tweaks.

Note that this does not include the actual packages from the Installers tab, only the state of those packages (i.e. which of them were installed)! If you want to fully back up your installation, make a manual backup of the packages in addition to Wrye Bash's backups.

Backup Buttons
Button	Function
Save Data	Normally, Wrye Bash saves its internal data files to disk only on closing. You can use this to force a save right now.
New Backup...	Backs up all the parts of Wrye Bash that can be changed by the user to a location of your choosing. See the list above for a rundown of what this will back up.
Restore...	Restores the selected backup. This will force a restart of Wrye Bash to ensure the new settings take effect. We extract the backup in a temporary folder, then we check that the backup is for the current game and that the settings are not from a newer WB version. Then we restart WB and apply the settings. Note that if you have a bash.ini this will be copied in the Mopy folder to a file named `bash(YEAR-MONTH-DAY hh.mm.sec).ini` so you do not lose your precious INI settings in case something goes wrong.
Rename...	Allows you to rename the selected backup.
Delete...	Allows you to delete the selected backup. Deleted backups are sent to the recycling bin.

Confirmations Back to top

The confirmations page can be used to enable or disable popups with a 'Don't show this in the future' option.

A checked entry in the list list means that no popup will show up in that situation anymore. Unchecking it will reenable the corresponding popup.

The Drop Action dropdown is special, and allows you to change what will happen when a file is dropped onto the Installers tab:

Ask every time — Show a popup allowing you to select what to do every time a file is dropped.
Copy — Make a copy of the dropped file and move that copy into the Installers directory.
Move — Move the dropped file into the Installers directory.

The Show Internal Keys checkbox is not very important, but might be useful for debugging. It shows the internal keys that each entry in the list uses to store its state.

General Back to top

The general page acts as a sort of catch-all page for settings that don't fit on any other page or aren't numerous enough to deserve their own page.

General Options
Option	Function
Managed Game	This dropdown lists the games that Wrye Bash supports and detects as being installed. Selecting a game here and applying will relaunch this Wrye Bash installation with the `-o` argument. That means the `bash.ini` settings and status bar launchers from this installation will apply to the newly selected game as well, which might not be what you expect.
Plugin Encoding	This dropdown allows you to select the encoding that Wrye Bash assumes various plugin and save fields to be written in. If the Automatic option is selected, Wrye Bash attempts to detect the encoding automatically. If a plugin description, save location or player name is being displayed incorrectly, try selecting another encoding from this dropdown.
Show Global Menu	If checked, a global menu will be shown above the tabs. If disabled, its options will still be accessible by right-clicking the columns. If you accidentally disabled it and want it back, you can use the Settings button to open the settings menu again and reenable it.
Use Alternate Wrye Bash Name	If checked, displays a game-specific name instead of Wrye Bash in the title bar instead. See the Title Bar Info section for more information.
Restore Scroll Positions on Start	If checked, Wrye Bash will remember and restore the scroll positions on the tab you were on when you last exited WB, then restore them when you come back. This is convenient, but can take up a significant amount of time on startup.

Trusted Binaries Back to top

The trusted binaries page can be used to choose which binaries (DLLs, EXEs, etc.) you trust. BAIN will skip installing untrusted binaries from packages, and a popup will be shown whenever a new one is encountered.

To change the status of a binary, select it and click the left/right arrow buttons to move it between the trusted and untrusted lists. You can also use the Export... and Import... buttons to save and load the status of all binaries from a text file. The text file will include much more information, like the CRCs and sizes that Wrye Bash is using to identify binaries.

Miscellaneous Tools Back to top

Doc Browser Back to top

The Doc Browser allows you to quickly and easily scan through your mods' documentation. The supported document types are:

Text files (.txt and similar)
HTML files (.html or .htm)
HTML archives (.mht or .mhtml)
PDF files (.pdf)

To display the Doc Browser, double click any plugin in the main list of the Mods tab.

When you double-click a plugin, Wrye Bash will open the Doc Browser and attempt to determine which document to associate with it. If it can determine one, it will display it. Otherwise, a blank page will be displayed. To associate a document with a plugin, use the Set Doc... button in the Doc Browser. To disassociate a document with a plugin, use the Forget Doc button in the Doc Browser.

You can also rename an associated document using the Rename Doc... button to select a new name and/or location. The document will be renamed and/or moved to this location.

You can edit a document by ticking the Allow Editing checkbox. The document can then be edited in the viewing window. To finish editing, uncheck the Allow Editing checkbox again. Changes are automatically saved when you select a new plugin, close the Doc Browser or finish editing.

A document can be opened in its default external editor by clicking the Open Doc... button.

A new document can be created for a plugin by clicking the Set Doc... button and choosing a new filename. This creates a document using a blank template that you can then edit. The default template is Data\Docs\My Readme Template if it exists, or if not, Data\Docs\Bash Readme Template.txt. The latter is written in Wrye wiki text format, which will be displayed as HTML when the Doc Browser is not in edit mode.

To view a different document, select a different plugin in the list on the left of the Doc Browser or in the Mods tab.

Some notes on Doc Browser behaviour:

If a plugin is renamed in the Mods tab, then any documents associated with it will become associated to the plugin's new name.
If a plugin is copied in the Mods tab, then any documents associated with it will also become associated with the copy.
Documents can be stored in any location, though Data\Docs is the standard location.
If you delete a plugin, its documentation will not be deleted, but it will no longer be viewable through the Doc Browser.
If you hide a plugin, its documentation will still be viewable through the Doc Browser.

Plugin Checker Back to top

The Plugin Checker checks your active and merged plugins for errors, and provides warnings for any found, as well as configuration recaps and suggestions. It can be opened by clicking the Plugin Checker button in the status bar or by using the Plugin Checker menu option.

At the top of the report is the Active Plugins section, which lists your load order if you enabled it using the Plugin List toggle. After that comes a report of all problems that were detected. A full list of problems detected by the Plugin Checker follows:

Corrupted plugins
ESL-capable plugins
Incorrectly ESL-flagged plugins
Mergeable plugins
Deactivate-tagged plugins that are active
MustBeActiveIfImported-tagged plugins that are imported, but inactive
Plugins with missing masters
Plugins with delinquent masters, i.e. masters that load after their dependent plugins
Plugins with unknown header versions
For SSE and games based on it, plugins with Form Version <44
For SSE and games based on it, weapon records with Form Version <44
Cleaning information retrieved from LOOT
Deleted references
Deleted navmeshes
Deleted base records
HITMEs
Record type collisions
Probable injected collisions

Plugin Checker Controls
Control	Function
Forward/Back Arrows	The Plugin Checker report may contain links to other pages. These two buttons allow navigation between pages viewed, similar to the forward/back buttons in a web browser.
Reload	Reloads the current page. Works identically to a browser's reload button.
Plugin List	Toggles the display of the Active Plugins list.
Version Numbers	Toggles display of version numbers (where found) for the plugins in the Active Plugins list.
CRCs	Toggles display of the CRCs for the plugins in the Active Plugins list.
Load Plugins	Toggles the full loading and scanning of plugins. Much slower, but many more advanced types of problems can be found when this is enabled.
Copy Text	Copies the text of the report to the clipboard. Useful for posting on forums.
Update	Forces a refresh of the report.

Oblivion.esm Swapping Back to top

Oblivion.esm swapping is a feature that allows mod authors to switch between different versions of Oblivion.esm on the fly. This is useful as it allows mod authors to make plugins that are totally SI-independent (as the Shivering Isles patches Oblivion.esm instead of using a new plugin). It can also be used to avoid the need for a fully patched Oblivion to run a plugin, but this usage is not recommended. If you want a plugin to work on older versions of Oblivion, use the Version 0.8 command on it.

The main requirement for swapping to work is that you have the necessary copies of the different Oblivion.esm files. This is only possible if you copy and rename Oblivion.esm before installing Shivering Isles. There are three accepted versions of Oblivion.esm in addition to the latest SI one. These are determined by their file size:

247388848 bytes: this is the 1.1 version. Rename it to Oblivion_1.1.esm.
247388812 bytes: this is the GOTY version without SI. Rename it to Oblivion_GOTY non-SI.esm.
247388894 bytes: this is an uncommon variant of the 1.1 version. Rename it to Oblivion_1.1b.esm.
260961973 bytes: this is the GBRPlus patched version. Rename it to Oblivion_GBR SI.esm.

You can then swap between the different versions of Oblivion.esm using the Oblivion.esm submenu in the Mods tab column header context menu. Your currently active version will be checked, select another to swap them. You can also perform the same swapping in the Saves tab column header context menu, but in addition to the swapping this will also mark the selected version as the preferred version to use with the current Save Profile. If you then switch to another save profile and back to this one, Oblivion.esm will be swapped automatically.

Wrye Bash displays the current version of Oblivion.esm in its version indicators. The main indicator is in the title bar of the main Wrye Bash window, but there are also indicators placed after Oblivion.esm in the Mods tab plugin list, and after Oblivion.esm in the Masters tab for plugins and savegames. The three possible indicators are:

[1.1]: You are currently using the 1.1 or 1.1b version of Oblivion.esm.
[GOTY non-SI]: You are currently using the GOTY without SI installed version of Oblivion.esm.
[SI]: You are currently using the Shivering Isles-patched version of Oblivion.esm.
[GBR SI]: You are currently using the GBRPlus patched version of Oblivion.esm.

Keyboard Shortcuts Back to top

The following keyboard shortcuts can be used when a list in Wrye Bash has focus (work on almost all lists, exceptions are noted).

Shortcut	Function
`Ctrl+Numpad Plus (+)`	Auto-sizes the columns to fit what is displayable.
`Ctrl+Up Arrow (↑)`	Move the selected item(s) up (Installers, Mods).
`Ctrl+Down Arrow (↓)`	Move the selected item(s) down (Installers, Mods).
`Ctrl+A`	Selects all items.
`Ctrl+Shift+A`	Deselects all items.
`Ctrl+C`	Copies files to the clipboard (Mods, Saves, Installers, Screens).
`Ctrl+N`	New Project (Installers). New Plugin (Mods).
`Ctrl+Shift+N`	New Marker (Installers). New Bashed Patch (Mods).
`Ctrl+O`	Opens the related data directory - for instance in the Mods tab will open the Data folder, the INI Edits tab will open the INI Tweaks folder etc.
`Ctrl+Y`	Redo load order state change (Mods).
`Ctrl+Z`	Undo load order state change (Mods).
`Ctrl+Shift+Z`	Redo load order state change (Mods).
`Enter`	Open the selected file(s) (Installers, Screens).
`F2`	Rename file(s) (Saves, Installers, Screens) - see Rename menu items for details.
`Space`	Enable/disable selected plugin(s) (Mods).

Command Line Arguments Back to top

The following table lists all command-line arguments Wrye Bash understands.

Argument	Function
`-d, --debug`	DEPRECATED. This does nothing anymore. Debug printing is now always enabled. Kept around so that existing scripts and shortcuts don't fail due to an unknown CLI switch.
`-L LANGUAGE, --language=LANGUAGE`	Specify the user language overriding the system language settings.
Path Arguments	All path arguments must be absolute paths and use either forward slashes (/) or two backward slashes (\\). All of these can also be set in the ini (where you can also use relative paths) and if set in both cmd line takes precedence.
`-o OBLIVIONPATH, --oblivionPath=OBLIVIONPATH`	Specifies the game directory (the one containing the game's exe). Use this argument if Bash is located outside of the game directory and you have no ini option (or want to override the ini). Bash reads the windows registry to find supported games so this is not needed if the game entry is the only one present in the registry. See Alternative Install Locations
User Directory Arguments	These arguments allow you to specify your user directories in several ways. These are only useful if the regular procedure for getting the user directory fails. And even in that case, the user is probably better off installing win32com.
`-p PERSONALPATH, --personalPath=PERSONALPATH`	Specify the user's personal directory. (Like "C:\\Documents and Settings\\Wrye\\My Documents") If you need to set this then you probably need to set `-l` too.
`-u USERPATH, --userPath=USERPATH`	Specify the user profile path. May help if HOMEDRIVE and/or HOMEPATH are missing from the user's environment.
`-l LOCALAPPDATAPATH, --localAppDataPath=LOCALAPPDATAPATH`	Specify the user's local application data directory. If you need to set this then you probably need to set `-p` too.
Backup and Restore Arguments	These arguments allow you to do backup and restore settings operations.
`-b, --backup`	Backup all Bash settings to an archive file before the app launches. Either specify the filepath with the `-f/--filename` options or Wrye Bash will prompt the user for the backup file path.
`-r, --restore`	Restore all Bash settings from an archive file/dir before the app launches. You must specify the filepath with the `-f/--filename` options. Restoring from the command line skips all error checks that are done in Restore... menu item.
`-f FILENAME, --filename=FILENAME`	The file to use with the `-r` or `-b` options. For `-r` must be a '.7z' backup file or a dir where such a file was extracted. For `-b` must be a valid path to a '.7z' file that will be overwritten if it exists.
`-q, --quiet-quit`	Close Bash after creating or restoring backup and do not display any prompts or message dialogs.

Internationalisation Back to top

Overview Back to top

Wrye Bash has built-in support for translation into other languages, using text files that tell it which English strings in the source code should be translated, and into what. These text files are found in Mopy\bash\l10n\. New translations or updates to existing translations should be presented to the Wrye Bash team so that they may be included in future releases.

To begin translating, or to update an existing translation, use the following steps:

Ensure you are running the Python version of Wrye Bash, as the standalone version does not include the source code, which is necessary for generating the translation file. See the Installation section of the General Readme for a short overview of how to install the Python version.
Open the Settings Menu and navigate to the Appearance: Language page.
If you haven't done so yet, click the Configure Editor... button to set up an editor for editing localization files:
1. Click on Browse... and pick the editor's executable.
2. If necessary, edit the Parameters section. For example, if you're using Notepad++, you might want to add parameters like -multiInst -notabbar -nosession.
3. If your editor does not support opening Wrye Bash's .txt files (Poedit, for example, does not), try checking the Rename to .po checkbox. This will make Wrye Bash rename the localization file right before launching the chosen editor, then rename it back to .txt after you've finished editing to work around this.
4. Once you're done configuring the editor, click OK.
Click the Dump Localization... button. This generates a new version of the translation file for your locale. The new file will be named appropriately, except for the trailing "NEW", and will contain any translations already done.
Select the newly created localization and click the Rename... button. Remove the trailing "NEW", but do not change the rest of the filename. Confirm that you want to replace the existing file when prompted.
Select the now-renamed localization file again, and click the Edit... button. Your editor will be launched, allowing you to add or edit translations.
Once you are done with editing, save and close the editor. Then click the OK button on the popup in Wrye Bash.
To test a translation, make sure the matching language is selected in the Change Language dropdown and restart Wrye Bash.

Translator File Format Back to top

Below is an excerpt from a translator file.

#: bash\basher.py:10106
msgid "Active profile cannot be removed"
msgstr "Aktives Profil kann nicht entfernt werden"

#: bash\basher.py:10112
msgid "Delete profile %s and the %d save files it contains?"
msgstr "Möchten Sie das Profil %s und die %d saves, die es enthält, löschen?"

The above contains two separate translation entries. Each entry begins with the source code file and line number the string to be translated is found on.

The file line is followed by msgid and the original text string. Lastly, msgstr introduces the translated text string.

Note: It is important that the formatting characters are not removed or moved or added to. Formatting characters are those that start with a percentage sign, e.g. %s, %u, %08X, etc. If a formatting character is missing or incorrect, Wrye Bash will most likely crash.
