About this mod
This is a bash script for Linux users who manually install .esp mods and need to generate a Plugins.txt file.
- Permissions and credits
Using a mod manager is the way to go, but if you need or want to mod manually then this script may help.
For each .esm and .esp mod that you add you need to add a line to the Plugins.txt file. This file is located inside of the Data directory which also contains the .esp and .esm mod files. The Plugins.txt file should contain the vanilla Oblivion Remastered mods as well any mods that you manually add yourself. However there are two vanilla mods that should never be included in the Plugins.txt file.
This script takes care of all of this by generating a brand new Plugins.txt file that follows the above rules. Extract WritePluginsTXT.sh from the zip file and place it in the Data directory e.g. steamapps/common/Oblivion Remastered/OblivionRemastered/Content/Dev/ObvData/Data
Make the script executable so you can run it. You can do this via the command prompt with:
or by using the file manager that comes with your Linux installation. Usually it's right-click -> properties and go from there.
Then run the WritePluginsTXT.sh either by double clicking it and choosing: execute
Or use the command prompt and type:
Feel free to use and modify this script however you like. No need to ask for permission.
For convenience the entire contents of the WritePluginsTXT.sh is listed below:
