This is a compilation of BCFs used by Wrye Bash to turn downloaded mods into installers that are compatible with Wrye Bash's BAIN installation method. All of the BAIN installers created from these BCFs are also scripted to make installation easier.

If you are wondering what, if any, benefits you get from using BAIN, this topic created by Psymon on the Bethsoft forums provide a detailed explanation:

At the moment, I have BCFs for the following mods:
"DarkUId Darn" by Gothic251
"Dragon Captions Resource Pack (DCRP)" by The Dragon Captions Team
"Oscuro's Oblivion Overhaul v1.34b5" by Oscuro, Dev_akm and the OOO team (v1.33 required to install v1.34b5)
"Vvardenfell Imports v1.1" by Themythofstrider
"Vvardenfell Imports Addon v1.1" by Themythofstrider


If I don't have a BCF you are looking for, you can also try one of the following collections:
Gabba's compilation
#"Realistic Physics and Force Package v1.0" by Bandit462
#"Harvest Containers vv0.99.1?" by XmirroR and the Harvest Team.

Lojack's compilation:
#"Unofficial Shivering Isles patch v1.4.0" by Quarn and Kivan
#"Unofficial Official Mods patches v15" by Quarn and Kivan
#"SM Plugin Refurbish v1.30" by Strategy Master

Metallicow's BAIN Archive maker

Wrye's compilation of "BAINified" mods:

#"DarNified UI v1.3.2" by DarN
#"Operation Optimization v1.1.1" by Quarn

If you distribute BCFs or BAINified mods and aren't listed here, please inform me.


Requirements
=========
-Wrye Bash (without it, you wouldn't be able to use BAIN to begin with)


Install
=======
Most BCFs are installed using this template:

1. All installation instructions assume that you have run Wrye Bash at least once, that you have clicked on the "Installers" tab at least once, that you know how to use BAIN archives and that Wrye Bash is working properly. If that is not the case, don't ask me for help. Instead, ask the creaters of Wrye Bash for help (Wrye Bash's TESNexus page should provide some methods of contacting the creaters).

2. Download the file(s) required by the BCF converter (files required are listed in the readme for the BCF conversion file). DO NOT AT ANY POINT RENAME ANY OF THE DOWNLOADS! MAKE SURE YOU DOWNLOAD EXACTLY THE RIGHT FILES!

3. Navigate to Wrye Bash's mod installers directory (usually C:/Program Files/Bethesda Softworks/Oblivion Mods/Bash Installers). Copy/Move the archive for the mod to be converted into the "Bash Installers" folder. Copy the BCF conversion file downloaded from here into "Bash Installers/Bain Converters".

4. Open Wrye Bash and switch to the "Installers" tab. Right-click on the mod to be converted, point at "Conversions", point at "Apply" then click on the BCF conversion file listed. Choose a name for the new BAIN archive (a default is provided).

5. Once the conversion is finished, delete the pre-conversion mod archive and install the new BAIN archive according to the readme included.
