Armor Packer - CarlosLeyvaAyala/MH-Rise-Modding-Scripts GitHub Wiki

Easily pack your MH Rise armor mods for distribution.

This program generates a batch file that in turn runs 7-zip to compress some directory containing all the armors (and armor options) so it can be distributed as a Fluffy file with toggeable options.

"What for?"

"... can't you manually do that anyway? Mi mi mi mi mi"

Yeah... the question I always get when I release my personal tools to others.

The idea of this IS PRECISELY NOT TO DO SOMETHING I COULD DO BY HAND.

By letting a program do it I (and you, if you use this) get these benefits:

• Faster packaging by just double clicking some batch file.
• Reduced chance for errors when packaging my files.
  To this date no one has complained I misplaced option files in my mods.
• I always work with a flat directory structure then let this program to deal with all the mess of compressing files so they endup being installed at natives\STM\player\mod\x\plxxx.
• I can concentrate on what I really care about: making mods. Distributing them is boring and I don't want to spend too much time dealing with all logistics related to that.

tl;dr: make the computers work on the boring, repetitive and error prone tasks; that's what they were invented for.
