vfstool

OpenMW's virtual file system from the command line: find any file your load order provides, see why it wins, lock the result, and collapse it into one folder.

Indexed from vfstool. Project metadata is published by the project's own site; AsHyAmS indexes that claim.

  2. 2.1.0 stablecurrent 2026-10-23

    vfstool finds OpenMW's own configuration again, as the Rust program did.

    Publisher's notes

    Fixed

    • With neither --config nor OPENMW_CONFIG, vfstool reads the openmw.cfg in the folder OpenMW keeps its own in on this platform: Documents\My Games\OpenMW on Windows, wherever Documents was moved, Library/Preferences/openmw on macOS, and the XDG config folder elsewhere. Its ?userconfig? and ?userdata? are OpenMW's own folders. Needs jess 0.2.1 or later; the standalone downloads carry it.

  3. 2.0.1 stable 2026-10-23

    vfstool ships as a program again: `jess install org.dreamweave.vfstool`, or a download that runs without jess for Windows, macOS and Linux.

    Publisher's notes

    Added

    • The release carries vfstool as an application: vfstool.jsw, the package and everything it runs packed into one file, which jess install org.dreamweave.vfstool installs onto your PATH.
    • A standalone vfstool for Windows x86_64, macOS x86_64 and ARM64, and Linux x86_64: jess carrying vfstool, zipped, needing nothing installed.

    Fixed

    • vfstool help, --help and -h print the commands and options instead of a note about the test suite, and running vfstool with no command points at them.

    Known issues

    • vfstool doesn't look for openmw.cfg in OpenMW's default location: name it, or the folder holding it, with --config or OPENMW_CONFIG.

  4. 2.0.0 stablebreaking notes 2026-10-21

    vfstool is a Jess package, written in Luau; the Rust program continues on the rust branch at 1.0.1.

    Publisher's notes

    Breaking changes

    • The tool is the Jess package org.dreamweave.vfstool, run through jess rather than as a downloaded binary. The Rust program stays at 1.0.1 on its GitHub releases, crates.io and this repository's rust branch, and is no longer developed on main.

    Publisher's notes

    Changed

    • vfstool_lib and vfstool are 1.0.1; l3i 1.1.0 comes from crates.io. No command, option or Luau function changed.
    • Requires dream-path 1.1 and dream_archive 1.1, their first MIT OR Apache-2.0 releases; the GPL releases up to 1.0.0 are no longer admitted.

  6. 1.0.0 stablebreaking notes 2026-09-29

    First stable release: the commands, their options, their reports and their exit codes are now under semver.

    Publisher's notes

    Breaking changes

    • remaining --replacements-only has no short form: its -r is gone, so -r means --use-relative everywhere.

    Added

    • --version prints the version.
    • The global options, -c and -r, also work after the command: vfstool find-file x -c openmw.

    Changed

    • A command line that does not parse exits with 8, invalid input, instead of clap's 2, which find-file -p uses for a file only an archive has. Help and --version still exit with 0.
    • No command or option was removed or renamed since 0.10.4. Built on vfstool_lib 1.0.0: looking up a path that is already normalized allocates nothing.

    Fixed

    • collapse into one of the cfg's own data directories leaves that directory's loose files where they are. It deleted each one before linking it, then failed.
    • extract into the folder a loose file already lives in leaves the file there. It deleted the file, then failed to copy it.
    • run without --copy no longer empties a file in data-local that the tool rewrote in place: capturing copied the file onto itself, which truncated it to nothing.
    • Ctrl+C during run no longer leaves the merged folder behind: vfstool outlives the command it stopped, captures nothing, removes the folder and exits with 9.
    • run whose output is read by something that stops early, such as head, finishes capturing and removes the merged folder; it panicked with exit code 101 partway through the list of captured files and left the folder behind.
    • run passes the command's arguments and the {} folder byte for byte: an argument that is not UTF-8 was refused with exit code 2, and a merged folder whose name is not UTF-8 reached the command with U+FFFD in its path, a folder that does not exist.
    • run replaces {} with the merged folder's absolute path, so a relative MERGED_DIR still names it from the command's --working-dir.
    • run refuses a MERGED_DIR that is a file or a symbolic link with exit code 8, as it does a folder with files in it. A file stopped it with Not a directory and exit code 9, and a symbolic link to an empty folder was replaced by a folder of its own and then deleted.
    • run names a command it cannot start: failed to start 'COMMAND': No such file or directory, where it printed only the reason.
    • On Linux and macOS, find and remaining list a file from a Morrowind BSA by its name, ex_door.nif, instead of its whole path inside the archive, meshes\x\ex_door.nif, and sort it by that name.
    • archives -f toml and archive-list -f toml write their list under archives and entries, since TOML has no top-level lists. They stopped with unsupported array type and exit code 9. JSON and YAML are unchanged.
    • diff with a data directory spelled in another case compares its files; on Linux it read the folder as typed, found nothing, and could name the wrong one as higher_priority.
    • conflicts and shadowed -l without -r spell each loose file's path as it is on disk, Textures/Tx_Wood_01.dds, instead of joining the source with the lowercase key, a path that does not exist on Linux.
    • contributions numbers sources as explain, duplicates and archives do, and lists an empty or missing data directory with zeros; it left such a directory out and numbered every later source one lower. conflicts lists such a directory too.
    • Messages are colored only on a terminal, and not when NO_COLOR is set: ANSI codes were written into pipes, files and logs too.
    • On Linux and macOS, every report writes a file or folder name that is not UTF-8 with U+FFFD in place of its invalid bytes, instead of stopping with path contains invalid UTF-8 characters and exit code 9, and drift reads a lock of such a name back without drift.

  13. 0.9.0 stable 2026-04-29

    Reports on the providers behind every file, validation, locks, a dry-run collapse, and running tools on the merged VFS.

    Publisher's notes

    Added

    • explain shows one file's winner and every provider it overrides; duplicates lists every file with more than one provider, optionally only those matching a regular expression.
    • conflicts, shadowed, contributions and diff report which data directories and archives override which, which are hidden entirely, and what each one contributes.
    • archives lists the loaded archives and how many of their files win; archive-list lists one archive's files, chosen by path, file name or --source-index.
    • validate reports missing data= directories, fallback archives, content files and groundcover files, and with --full, archives that cannot be read.
    • lock writes a manifest of every winning file with its BLAKE3 hash; drift compares the VFS against one, and with --fail-on-drift exits with 4 when they differ.
    • collapse --dry-run prints the plan instead of writing files.
    • run dumps the merged VFS into a scratch folder, runs a program on it, and copies what the program created or changed into data-local or --output.
    • find-file --only_physical matches loose files only, and exits with 2 for a file only an archive has.
    • Documented exit codes: 1 not found, 2 only in an archive, 4 drift, 5 validation issues, 6 bad regular expression, 7 openmw.cfg not loaded, 8 invalid input, 9 runtime failure.

    Changed

    • find matches against the VFS path, like textures/tx_wood_01.dds, instead of the file's path on disk, and uses the expression as written, so \. matches a dot.
    • BSA and BA2 archives are read through dream_archive.
    • JSON output is compact.
    • vfstool is licensed GPL-3.0-only instead of GPL-3.0-or-later.

    Fixed

    • find-file exits with 1 when the file is not in the VFS, and find with 6 on a bad expression; both exited with 0.
