\*\*Fallout 4 BA2 Unpacker Tool\*\*  
  
\*\*Warning\*\*:  
Unpacking your Ba2 Files, will definitely break detection of the relevant Ba2 files in, vortex and steam, steam will likely try to repair the install, and re-download the ba2's, my mod is intended for people who have copied their un-modded Fallout 4 to an alternate directory, where they intend to mod it, and somehow it does not require Steam, hmm, you MUST ensure to understand, while my other mods are somewhat SAFE, but still get flagged as dangerous, THIS MOD IS DEFINITELY DANGEROUS, you should know what you are doing, meaning it is intended to be used with a relevantly modified copy of Fallout 4...With regards to unpacking mods along side the official packs, the files will then be inseparable, you would have to sort out the individual files to reverse things. You have been WARNED!   
  
\*\*Description\*\*:  
The "Fallout 4 BA2 Unpacker" tool is designed to automate the unpacking of BA2 files in Fallout 4, facilitating a smoother game run with unpacked files. It searches for BA2 files in the ".\Data" directory, unpacks them using "bsarch.exe", and removes the BA2 files post successful  unpacking, aiding in space management and game performance. The point is no system lag from loading massive archives, so as instead it accesses specific files from the archive. With regards to testing it works fine, and I have no stutter, the idea for unpacking the paks is an old one, that I have been using since fallout 3. and why would you want to do this if you cant then change the mods after? Well its a matter of minimal stutter for the, potato PC's or normal PC's where there is already a load on the bus.  
  
\*\*Features\*\*:  
- Automatically detects and unpacks BA2 files within the ".\Data" directory.  
- Utilizes "bsarch.exe" from the ".\Tools" directory for unpacking operations.  
- Deletes successfully unpacked BA2 files to free up space.  
- Retains BA2 files if an error occurs during unpacking.  
- Generates a summary report detailing total, unpacked, and deleted BA2 files.  
  
\*\*Usage\*\*:  
1. Download and manually install bsarch.exe from "nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/64745" to the "...\Fallout 4\Tools\" directory.  
2. Place the batch script in the "...\Fallout 4\Tools\" directory.  
3. Run the batch script; it will request admin privileges.  
4. Once complete, review the summary report produced by the script for any errors and the number of files processed.  
5. Install mods of your choice as you would normally, ignore ba2 not found errors if any...  
6. Run script again to over-write game version of same files.With regards to unpacking mods along side the official packs, ins Picture this, 1 Fallout folder ObscuriumIV and one Fall.  
  
\*\*Notices\*\*:  
\* Ensure you have backup copies of your BA2 files before running the script, as it deletes BA2 files post successful unpacking.  
\* The script requires "bsarch.exe" to be placed in the "...\Fallout 4\Tools\" directory for accurate file processing.  
\* The script operates on Windows with admin privileges to ensure correct file handling and unpacking.  
\* Ensure that the directory paths align with your Fallout 4 installation, particularly if it's a custom or non-standard setup.  
\* Folders to temp remove from "Data\Textures" before run texture re-compressor are, Actors, Character Assets, Interface, Effects.

The script elevates to admin, scans a directory for BA2 files, unpacks them using 'bsarch.exe' into the same directory, deletes successfully unpacked BA2 files, and provides a summary report.
