That doesn't mean it won't have problems with converting other files that modders have created. In my testing I have made sure that this works when converting Skyrim.esm, Update.esm, HearthFires.esm, Dawnguard.esm, and Dragonborn.esm to an XML and back again without any differences in the resulting files. Since this toolkit is relatively new there may still be a lot of bugs. I used it so analysis of records would be a lot easier in a hex editor while developing this toolkit. You may not need to use this, but I thought I would mention it since it is available. Some records in plugin files are stored in a compressed format and this will decompress them so they are still usable in an uncompressed form. In addition to the convert command there is also a decompress command which is run as follows:Д«ethkit decompress YourMod.esp YourModDecompressed.esp

If you are converting plugins that have text that uses a particular code page for a different language, there is a '-cp' option to specify the code page which can be used as follows:Д«ethkit convert YourMod.esp YourMod.esx -cp 1252ДЄ list of code pages that can be used with this can be found at the following link: Once you have made your changes, you can convert the ESX file back to a plugin file by running the following command: You will likely want to refer to the information on UESP when making changes as the XML format is still pretty raw and some things might not seem obvious without some knowledge of the file format. The ESX file produced will be in an XML format that closely mirrors the binary file format as described at which I referenced to create this toolkit. To convert a plugin to an XML file you simply run the following in a command prompt: This is a command line tool that is run with the bethkit.exe executable. Eventually I hope to expand on the features this toolkit provides once I have stabilized the code for reading and writing plugin files. Currently this consists of converting ESM/ESP files to an XML format that can then be edited with whatever tools you like and then converted back to an ESM/ESP once your changes have been made.

This is a command line tool that will work with Bethesda plugin files for the purposes of helping to create mods. Try using an alternative web browser like Firefox if you are having problems downloading. If you are using Chrome for a web browser you may get a false positive saying this is a virus.
