Search number 10519195120 this is the unique number of any post done by me, for ease of searching

Introduction
This script was designed to enable plug-ins to a game. Examples of plug-ins can be found here http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Oblivion:Official_Plug-ins they are for Oblivion. What a plug-in is is something that is added to a game after it is released. These include but are not limited to Plug-ins, add-on, Expansion packs, map packs, Item packs, side quests, houses, main quest extensions, Enemy packs, Bug Fixes, post-publish Cheat codes, Graphic re-dues/enhancement, New characters, armor packs, weapon packs, skill packs, and ultimate combat pack( Shield of Ages, Thor's Hammer, Zeus' lightning bolt, etc.)
All a pack is is something that has extra of something that was original not included.
Features
- Allows you to make expansion packs or any of above easily.
- Allows you to easily install or de-install above.
Screenshots
Not necessary as it would prove nothing.
How to Use
Insert this script it the materials section. Then fill out the activation/deactivation files, the files to change, and if you have a custom main menu change mine to fit yours. Then place the old file folder in the game folder. Then make the changes to the game you wanted to make. More en-depth instructions in script.

Demo
Download both the files play the game then add the Gamenew folder to the project and in the main menu hit Add add-ons option. Remember to download both

FAQ

Q: How many files can I change at a time?
A: As many as you want.

Q: Why do I need to edit this script for each add-on?
A: I have not figured out how to make it so you can have as many add-ons you want in one
in an easy to use package and the script is incompatible with its self.

Q:What do you mean it is incompatible with its self?
A:The script will only run the bottom script and will never run the top script if you have 2 scripts for this.

Q: What types of files can I change?
A: You can change maps, databases, scripts, graphics, or any other file.

Q: My script's wont run after they were transferred to the new game whats wrong?
A: Check to see that all conditions are met in the script by the new game.

Q: I did that and they still wont run now what?
A: You have run in to the biggest bug of the script. The scripts wont always apply to a saved game.

Q: I think I might use this script but I don't know what files to change what do I do?
A: Have the script change out the data/scripts.rvdata then you can change this script later and it will run with two applications.

Please post any bugs, recommendations, change requests, complements, or incompatibility issues bellow.

Tutorial for having multiple add-ons to 1 game.

Spoiler:

Everything inclosed in this spoiler tag is for having more than one add-on for a game.
Step 1
Find the section of script that starts with Installs the game data and looks like this

Spoiler:

CODE

#==============================================================================
       #title edit done Initial script fiber
       #=============================================================================
       # Installs the game data
       def install_new
          if  File.exists?(ACTIVATION_FILE)
            for i in 0...ORIGINAL_FILES_REMOVE_FROM.size
            File.rename(ORIGINAL_FILES_REMOVE_FROM[i], ORIGINAL_FILES_REMOVE_TO[i])
          end
          for i in 0...ADDON_FILES_REMOVE_FROM.size
            File.rename(ADDON_FILES_REMOVE_FROM[i], ADDON_FILES_REMOVE_TO[i])
          end
           File.rename(ACTIVATION_FILE, DEACTIVATION_FILE)
            else
          
         end
       end
       # removes game data.
       def remove_old
         if  File.exists?(DEACTIVATION_FILE)
          for i in 0...ADDON_FILES_REMOVE_TO.size
            File.rename(ADDON_FILES_REMOVE_TO[i], ADDON_FILES_REMOVE_FROM[i])
          end
            for i in 0...ORIGINAL_FILES_REMOVE_TO.size
            File.rename(ORIGINAL_FILES_REMOVE_TO[i], ORIGINAL_FILES_REMOVE_FROM[i])
          end
           File.rename(DEACTIVATION_FILE, ACTIVATION_FILE)
            else
          
         end
       end

step 2
Copy this section of script

Spoiler:

CODE

   if  File.exists?(ACTIVATION_FILE)
            for i in 0...ORIGINAL_FILES_REMOVE_FROM.size
            File.rename(ORIGINAL_FILES_REMOVE_FROM[i], ORIGINAL_FILES_REMOVE_TO[i])
          end
          for i in 0...ADDON_FILES_REMOVE_FROM.size
            File.rename(ADDON_FILES_REMOVE_FROM[i], ADDON_FILES_REMOVE_TO[i])
          end
           File.rename(ACTIVATION_FILE, DEACTIVATION_FILE)
            else
          
         end

and paste it here (here marked with ><)

Spoiler:

CODE

     def install_new
        if  File.exists?(ACTIVATION_FILE)
          for i in 0...ORIGINAL_FILES_REMOVE_FROM.size
          File.rename(ORIGINAL_FILES_REMOVE_FROM[i], ORIGINAL_FILES_REMOVE_TO[i])
        end
        for i in 0...ADDON_FILES_REMOVE_FROM.size
          File.rename(ADDON_FILES_REMOVE_FROM[i], ADDON_FILES_REMOVE_TO[i])
        end
         File.rename(ACTIVATION_FILE, DEACTIVATION_FILE)
          else
        
       end
     ><
     end

It should look like this now

          end
          for i in 0...ADDON_FILES_REMOVE_FROM.size
            File.rename(ADDON_FILES_REMOVE_FROM[i], ADDON_FILES_REMOVE_TO[i])

           File.rename(ACTIVATION_FILE, DEACTIVATION_FILE)
            else
          
         end
         if  File.exists?(ACTIVATION_FILE)
            for i in 0...ORIGINAL_FILES_REMOVE_FROM.size
            File.rename(ORIGINAL_FILES_REMOVE_FROM[i], ORIGINAL_FILES_REMOVE_TO[i])
          end
          for i in 0...ADDON_FILES_REMOVE_FROM.size
            File.rename(ADDON_FILES_REMOVE_FROM[i], ADDON_FILES_REMOVE_TO[i])
          end
           File.rename(ACTIVATION_FILE, DEACTIVATION_FILE)

       end
       # removes game data.
       def remove_old

          for i in 0...ADDON_FILES_REMOVE_TO.size
            File.rename(ADDON_FILES_REMOVE_TO[i], ADDON_FILES_REMOVE_FROM[i])
          end
            for i in 0...ORIGINAL_FILES_REMOVE_TO.size

Finally copy these things in the set up area

Spoiler:

CODE

ACTIVATION_FILE =
DEACTIVATION_FILE =
ORIGINAL_FILES_REMOVE_FROM = [0]#dont touch
ORIGINAL_FILES_REMOVE_FROM =
ORIGINAL_FILES_REMOVE_TO = [0]#dont touch
ORIGINAL_FILES_REMOVE_TO =
ADDON_FILES_REMOVE_FROM = [0]#dont touch
ADDON_FILES_REMOVE_FROM =
ADDON_FILES_REMOVE_TO = [0]#dont touch
ADDON_FILES_REMOVE_TO =

paste those in any place in the initialization arrays set up like the normal
then change those files like this
at each XX add the number you had earlier (add-on number) like this(I know it says 'dont touch' but that is so you don't forget later)

Spoiler:

CODE

ACTIVATION_FILE_XX =
   DEACTIVATION_FILE_XX =
   ORIGINAL_FILES_REMOVE_FROM_XX = [0]#dont touch
   ORIGINAL_FILES_REMOVE_FROM_XX =
   ORIGINAL_FILES_REMOVE_TO_XX = [0]#dont touch
   ORIGINAL_FILES_REMOVE_TO_XX =
   ADDON_FILES_REMOVE_FROM_XX = [0]#dont touch
   ADDON_FILES_REMOVE_FROM_XX =
   ADDON_FILES_REMOVE_TO_XX = [0]#dont touch
   ADDON_FILES_REMOVE_TO_XX =

Your code should look like this how(assuming that this is your second update)

This looks really useful!
I've been wondering for a while now how to do this...

[neosky]

Dude if this works like how i think it does, AWESOME!!!!! Totaly going to use this.

[???nOBodY???]

This is pretty neat... I can honestly say I failed at trying to do something similar. The farthest I got was renaming the scripts file, then reloading it, and watching errors pop up or something, lol. *snatches the script while talking*

[Safebox]

Yay, an expansion pack script exists

I can make optional additions to my games now!

[rgangsta]

Neat-o! I could definitely use this! Nice script!

[jesse120]

I have added a tutorial for multiple add-ons at the bottom of the Topic.

P.S. I have noticed that not everyone downloads both files above. You must download BOTH for the demo to work right because 1 is the game and the other is the add-on for the game.

[neosky]

Do you have to do this everytime you make a new addon? I'm not exatcly sure what your getting at with it? Do you keep adding those snippets when making more, or do you just add it once and then your able to keep adding more all you want? If so, then probably just eaiser to make a script update.

[robbieagray]

This would be really useful in me game for future expansions (should probably try out demo/tutorial first). Could really add some interesting features into my game.

[jesse120]

Neosky
Unfortunately you have to add a new snippet for each separate add-on you want to have. So if you were working on a game like Oblivion (see link) you would need to do the snippet 9 times to give you a total of 10 and then each update would have a different activation folder file check.
