DevModManager Dependency Checker v0.2.71

What It Does

Scans Starfield plugins (.esm/.esp) and discovers all asset dependencies:

  • Meshes, Materials, Textures (with PC & Xbox paths)
  • Scripts (Papyrus .psc/.pex with automatic import resolution)
  • Terrain (.btd files, overlay masks, and source TIF files)
  • Interface Icons (Inventory/ShipBuilder/Workshop + source TIF files)
  • Voice Assets (PC & Xbox, dev & runtime)
  • Particles, Animations, Morphs, and more

Outputs:

  • .achlist - JSON array of PC file paths (for Achievement-safe mod managers)
  • _deps.csv - Detailed spreadsheet with file paths, asset types, and discovery sources

Downloads

  • dmmdeps.zip (~186 KB) - Requires .NET 8 Runtime
  • dmmdeps-fat.zip (~10 MB) - Includes .NET 8, no dependencies

Basic Usage

dmmdeps.exe "C:\Path\To\YourMod.esm"

Creates YourMod.achlist and YourMod_deps.csv in the same folder.

Command-Line Options

dmmdeps.exe <pluginPath> [options]

Options:
  --gameroot <path>     Override game root (parent of Data folder)
  --xboxdata <path>     Override Xbox Data root (default from CreationKit.ini)
  --tifroot <path>      Override TIF source root (default ..\..\Source\TGATextures)
  --scriptsroot <path>  Override Scripts folder (default Data\Scripts)
  --test                Write .achlist.test instead of .achlist
  --quiet               Suppress skipped-file messages
  --silent              Suppress all output except start/completion
  --smartclobber        Seed candidates from existing .achlist (captures manual overrides like Data\Interface\mapicons.swf which would not otherwise be detectable.)

Examples

Auto-detect everything:

dmmdeps.exe "C:\Games\Starfield\Data\MyMod.esm"

Custom development setup:

dmmdeps.exe "G:\ModDev\MyMod.esm" --gameroot "C:\Games\Starfield" --tifroot "G:\Source\TGATextures"

CI/CD pipeline (silent mode):

dmmdeps.exe MyMod.esm --silent

Performance

Sub-second execution for ~5000 files. No directory walking - deterministic asset discovery based on plugin content.

Complementary PowerShell Script

While the rest of DMM is under development in C#, a complementary PowerShell script is available to automate mod backups and archive management for producing Windows and Xbox .ba2 archives:
