   why doesent work? is my first time I create a .bs2 archive of textures with related dummy plugin
   
   I just pick a random mod with .DDS loose files of textures and archive for test all textures using Archive2 from CK
   
   next I renamed your Dummy with the exact same name of the .bs2 name and doesent work (textures not loaded)
   
   wath Im wrong? :/

      I find the error (a modder in Discord help me)...
      
      need to be renamed properly the files:
      

      
      
      • modname - Textures.bs2 (the archive)
        
      • modname.esp (the dummy renamed)

      The engine will basically automatically load up to 8 ba2 files from the 1 esp. Continuing from your example >>
      
      modname - Interface.ba2
      modname - Main.ba2
      modname - Materials.ba2
      modname - Meshes.ba2
      modname - Misc.ba2
      modname - Sounds.ba2
      modname - Textures.ba2
      modname - Voices.ba2

   Does this work for Skyrim? because I think the internal .esp format is different.

   I once did this myself but, I forgot how. Can you leave instruction on how to do it ourselves?

   found it!

   this is very useful when you don't want to have another mod dependency. just rename dummy.esp with the mod and replace it
