Mods can hook lua scripts to specific indexes to fire post-deployment, allowing for advanced editing of files within a sandbox
-flagall argument allows a user to enable or disable all mods in their modlist at once
Media files can be copied using the SEQCOPY step. Files are copied using a sequential file name. Allows for new music to be added to FATE.
Mods can now replace an indexed file by declaring it with an 'override'. Any patches targetting the index will be applied to the existing file instead.
Mods can now declare dependencies and provide valid version ranges. Versioning is handled in a semantic-ish format.

Initial upload
Now supports FATE Expansions - the most popular FATE mod on the Nexus! Make sure to download the Patcher Core edition from the files menu!
Fate Patcher Core is a utility that provides easy mod management to FATE! By utilizing a versatile instruction system, mods are able to control where files are moved and what gets changed, improving the ease-of-installation of FATE mods. Key benefits of using FPX Core:
Easy integration with mod managers
Increased compatibility between mods
Mod removal without reinstallation
More avenues for modding capabilities
Installation: Extract and place the contents of the zip file in your FATE game directory. Create a folder named "mods" and place any compatible mods in this folder. Run the included fpxrun.bat file. When fpxcmd is completed, your mods will have been tracked and deployed.
Removal: To clear all mods, you can follow a variety of steps:
Remove all mods from the /mods folder, then deploy
Flag all mods as disabled, then deploy
Use the -remove argument (this flags all mods as disabled, then immediately deploys)
FPX Core will remove any tracked changes to your game and effectively revert it to its 'master' state.
If you wish to uninstall FPX Core at this time, do so by deleting the application and any associated files.
Support for Vortex: This vortex extension will allow you to use Vortex with FATE; mods will be deployed to the /mods directory that fpx core expects. Manually place fpxcmd.exe in your game's directory, and after deploying mods in Vortex, launch the tool from the tool menu. Work to better integrate the two utilities is ongoing.

Read the readme and fpxcmd_readme files! They go into more depth on how to use fpxcmd's more specific features and how it works.
The functional source is available on github. The compiled project is available here using a c++ wrapper around the source lua; if lua and the LFS library are installed on your system, you can run fpxcmd directly from the lua interpreter as well.
