Project is not planned on being continued or supported, you may look for an alternative or continue to use the code/software here. Thank you.

Requires .NET Framework 4.8

• Can pack single-chunk GNMF BA2 archives.
• Drag & drop for files and folders to add quickly into archive.
• Allows for modification of textures on Fallout 4 PS4.
• CLI tool allows for dragging folder onto executable and getting archives packed straight away.

Q: How can we open GNMF BA2?
A: The BSA Browser tool by AlexxEG (see credits) supports opening GNMF BA2.

Q: Why only one chunk? Does that matter?
A: I have not researched multi-chunk GNMF BA2 but for authenticities sake I may try to include the option in a future release. From experience one chunk will do fine, but it can be assumed with a lot of high resolution textures multi-chunk would help.

Q: What does saving the String Table do?
A: By default this should be on, but this removes the table from the packed output. It shouldn't have any effects on mods loading, but may effect loading from archive readers. Personally I recommend keeping this on.
