Stalker 2 Configuration FIle Merge Tool
A tool for merging configuration files in mod packs for the Stalker 2.
This tool automatically detects conflicted .cfg files in mod packs and creates a single .pak archive with merged .cfg files inside. If multiple files changes same line in configuration file, changes from the last file sorted by name will be used.
Known issues
Merge doesn’t work if one of the mod configuration files is in correct folder inside pak archive, and the other is in the pak archive root. I don’t think that mods with config file in root are working at all so this might not be an issue. If you have an example of such mod, please post it in the comments section.If you have CLR: Assert failure error, update your OS.
If you have CLR: Assert failure error, update your OS.
Mods that are removing or adding new lines can merge incorrectly.
