Command line version of Mod Installer.

How to use

There are two required parameters - game and path:

game - defines what game is selected
path - path to the game exe file

Then there are optional parameters:

packages - list of packages which will be packed
restore - uninstall all mods and restore game files to their original state

Example:

ModInstallerCMD.exe -game=fc5 -path="e:\Far Cry 5\bin\FarCry5.exe" -packages="Remove Startup Videos.a3;Weather System.a3|Weather=7;Script Loader.a3;Languages Resistance.a3;Keybindings Faster Parachute.a3"

Prepacked files

Please read Mod Installer tutorials to know how prepacked works.

Drag drop the folder over the exe or launch it like this:

ModInstallerCMD.exe "e:\myprep_prepacked"

To unpack prepacked, drag drop myprep_prepacked.xml over the exe or launch it like this:

ModInstallerCMD.exe "e:\myprep_prepacked.xml"

Define list of packages

Example:

"Weather System.a3|Weather=1,Snow=1;Show Time.a3"

So it means that package "Weather System.a3" will be selected and its option "Summer Weather" will be "Rain and fog" and "Winter Weather" will be "Snow".
Package "Show Time.a3" will be selected too, but it doesn't have any options.
