F4 OAR Conversion Tool v0.1.0 EXPERIMENTAL

F4 OAR Conversion Tool v0.1.0 (EXPERIMENTAL)

This is an experimental companion utility, not a game plugin. Expect rough edges, UI changes, and possible conversion bugs. Keep backups of any weapon mod folders / ESPs you run through it.

What it does

Converts weapon animation setups that use Tactical Reload into Open Animation Replacer (F4) submods / config files for runtime reload replacement.

• Accepts an ESP, a subgraph text file, or both (at least one required)
• Batch queue: configure options per source folder, then process multiple folders
• Autodetects ESP in the source folder when possible (picker when multiple are found)
• Can strip Tactical Reload keywords / master dependency from the ESP when an ESP is provided
• Writes OAR submod folders and config.json for tactical reload / idle empty style replacements
• Portable Windows build (PyInstaller): no Python install required

How to use

1. Unzip anywhere
2. Run F4OARConversionTool.exe
3. Add source folder(s) to the queue, set options per entry, then convert
4. Review the generated OAR folders / ESP output before deploying into a modlist

Logs are written next to the executable under logs/.

Notes

• EXPERIMENTAL first public package from the conversion-tool workstream
• Requires a working F4 Open Animation Replacer install for the converted output to do anything in-game
• Always keep originals; treat cleaned ESPs as needing a smoke-test in FO4Edit / in-game before shipping
