USAGE

This is a command-line tool. You may use the provided .bat files to use it, or a terminal such as cmd or Powershell.

• FIRST, You must copy oo2core_9_win64.dll from any of the games next to Bakery.CLI.exe. This file is copyrighted & commercial material, it cannot be provided.

Some batch (.bat) scripts are included which can be used by dropping files or folders into them.

• Unpacking: Drop .cak files into Unpack.bat to extract them into an <name>.extracted folder next to the original cak files.
• Listing Files: Drop .cak files into ListFiles.bat to create a text file listing all files in that cak file.
• Baking: Drop any folder into Bake_XX.bat to create a ready to use .cak file for the target game.

A hook is provided for K26 enabling support for custom cake files in a mods folder. Extract the contents of SimpleCakeHook.zip to the game directory. (The loader used is Ultimate ASI Loader.
