Ah! I wondered why the textures weren't working... Damn, kind of wish i didnt delete all the mods i was gonna use now lol No worries! Take your time with it.
Edit: As of the 9/8/2021 Fallout76 Worlds release, it no longer automatically loads the ESM and INI file like Baka expects. Instead, find (or create) the Fallout76Custom.ini in \Users\...\Documents\My Games\Fallout 76\Fallout76Custom.ini Add (or modify) the following lines: [Archive] sResourceArchive2List = BakaFile - Main.ba2, BakaFile - Textures.ba2 Typically people using BakaFile will not have any other ba2 files here. We are unpacking all of the mods in a data folder and then having BakaFile repack them all in these two combined BakaFile archives.
So, with the above caveat, this is still working for me with Fo76. I just extract the loose files in any ba2 in the order that I want to a data folder under Baka (like "\BakaFileTool\fallout76\data", not under actual fallout install). Manual Data Folder is Enabled. Game selected is fo76 which is set correctly in paths. The latest archive 2 is set correctly in paths (via free creation kit download from Bethesda launcher, fo4 not needed). I click Select Data Folder, and select that data folder above that I maintain under Baka (not under Fallout). Then I click Create Archive, and viola, game moded, works every time. To uninstall to play nw, I delete the Baka files from fallout76 data. No ini file changes needed.
A one click button to delete the baka files would be nice to have. Anyway, thanks for the mod, please don't remove fallout76 support.
Does this still work? I get a greyed out Create Archive button. Not sure why. Fallout76 path is correct and settings look ok but I do not know what i'm doing so that doesn't help either.. I also can't seem to find a link to the Bethesda CK. Guess i'll keep digging.

Does anyone know how to add the archive2 path to the baka thing? I've never used the creation kit before so idk where it's located to path it to somewhere.
1. Install Fallout 4 (doesn't have to be on the same drive as Fallout 76) 2. Install Creation Kit through Bethesda.net Launcher (green icon on the bottom left) 3. When it asks for the path, select Fallout 4 install path (usually in .../Steam/steamapps/common) 4. Open Creation Kit through Bethesda.net Launcher at least once 5. After Creation Kit runs its setup, close Creation Kit 6. Now add the Fallout 4 and Archive 2 paths to BakaFileTool: 6.1 In “Paths”, click “Select Fallout 4 Path” and navigate to / select folder 6.2 In “Paths”, click “Select Archive2” and navigate to / select Archive2.exe (should be in .../Fallout 4/Tools/Archive2) 7. In Baka "Settings", check “Use Archive2 for Fallout 76” (required for proper textures)
Wat do you mean, sure he can, bones are same name, he'll just have to do the extremely laborious process of transforming all the spec textures into _r and _i files. And since we have no CK, he'll have to replace obtainable in game clothing with the f04 outfits, and even then if the 76 biped slots dont include hands the seams will be real rough :O
Yeah kind of. It works as an archival tool just fine, but Fallout 76 modding kind of went a different direction with people just releasing ba2 files and editing their main/custom ini to include them- which is a lot easier than what BFT was doing. I've been thinking about dropping the stuff specific to 76 and reworking the tool into a more general (Baka) Archive Tool, but have been prioritizing other mod projects in the meantime.
I tried these tools and was like okay this isn't working and adding the ba2 to the archive list worked fine almost without issue and fallout 76 was the first game I modded successfully but I deleted it and now don't want to add all the names back to the archive list as i feel it would be tedious. And modding other fallout games doesn't work very well for me for some reason :(

An update to fix this is being worked on.
Damn, kind of wish i didnt delete all the mods i was gonna use now lol
No worries! Take your time with it.
Instead, find (or create) the Fallout76Custom.ini in \Users\...\Documents\My Games\Fallout 76\Fallout76Custom.ini
Add (or modify) the following lines:
[Archive]
Typically people using BakaFile will not have any other ba2 files here. We are unpacking all of the mods in a data folder and then having BakaFile repack them all in these two combined BakaFile archives.sResourceArchive2List = BakaFile - Main.ba2, BakaFile - Textures.ba2
So, with the above caveat, this is still working for me with Fo76. I just extract the loose files in any ba2 in the order that I want to a data folder under Baka (like "\BakaFileTool\fallout76\data", not under actual fallout install). Manual Data Folder is Enabled. Game selected is fo76 which is set correctly in paths. The latest archive 2 is set correctly in paths (via free creation kit download from Bethesda launcher, fo4 not needed). I click Select Data Folder, and select that data folder above that I maintain under Baka (not under Fallout). Then I click Create Archive, and viola, game moded, works every time. To uninstall to play nw, I delete the Baka files from fallout76 data. No ini file changes needed.
A one click button to delete the baka files would be nice to have. Anyway, thanks for the mod, please don't remove fallout76 support.

2. Install Creation Kit through Bethesda.net Launcher (green icon on the bottom left)
3. When it asks for the path, select Fallout 4 install path (usually in .../Steam/steamapps/common)
4. Open Creation Kit through Bethesda.net Launcher at least once
5. After Creation Kit runs its setup, close Creation Kit
6. Now add the Fallout 4 and Archive 2 paths to BakaFileTool:
6.1 In “Paths”, click “Select Fallout 4 Path” and navigate to / select folder
6.2 In “Paths”, click “Select Archive2” and navigate to / select Archive2.exe (should be in .../Fallout 4/Tools/Archive2)
7. In Baka "Settings", check “Use Archive2 for Fallout 76” (required for proper textures)
I don't know if you need to have Fallout 4 installed, but the creation kit for it is free on steam.
I'll be able to play with custom body and Vtaw clothing? O_O
