    Black Book Browser  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
    Version: 4.2.0
    by: sirinsidiator [More]
    A windows program to browse and extract files from the ESO game data archives (only works for the new format introduced in Update 5.3). May or may not contain bugs. Use this program at your own risk.

    Simply start bbb.exe, click the big blue plus button on the bottom left and select the game install directory (containing the depot, game and vo_* folders).
    The arrow keys can be used to quickly navigate file trees and search results, space can be used to toggle checkboxes in the extract dialog, ctrl+1/2/3 switches tabs in the main navigation and ctrl+f also goes to the search tab.

    Short History:
    v1 - An unreleased node.js program called "esoextract" written between the last beta and early access in 2014.
    v2 - Still unreleased, but switched to nwjs in 2017 for better ease of use.
    v3 - Rewrote it in TypeScript and implemented a proper UI. First public release under the name "Black Book Browser" in 2020.
    v4 - Rewrote pretty much everything again using ionic-svelte and tauri, after v3 was broken beyond repair and could no longer extract files from eso.mnf starting with live version 9.3.9 and pts version 10.0.1.

    The source code can be found on GitHub.
    v4.2.0
    - added button to open the target folder to the extraction dialog
    - added ignore pattern option to the extraction dialog
    - added license information and released source code on GitHub
    - added simple hex viewer for files without a preview
    - updated patreon icon

    v4.1.0
    - added preview for .ttf and .otf files
    - added export texture list button to archive and folder info

    v4.0.0
    - switched to tauri as runtime and ionic-svelte as UI framework
    - implemented new layout and design
    - optimized performance in all parts of the app
    - fixed some (valid) dds files not being supported for preview
    - updated patron list

    v3.1.1
    - fixed compatibility with game update 39

    v3.1.0
    - added file search
    - added file list display and save button to archives and folders
    - added button to save texture preview as png
    - improved extract dialog path input to allow direct modification
    - improved layout
    - updated patron list
    - updated dependencies

    v3.0.1
    - added tooltip to "Add Game" button to explain which folder to select
    - changed filenames for unmapped files without an id to use hex notation for the offset
    - fixed some files not getting decompressed correctly (or rather not at all)
    - fixed extracting a single file without preserving the parent folders
    - updated dependencies

    v3.0.0 - initial release

    Help
    I want to clarify, before I used this program exclusively and everything was fine, but recently I formatted the disk and decided to install again. The result, goes to start and immediately close the program.
    3.1.1 and older versions open, newer ones don't work, before that version 4.0.0 worked fine.


    P.S Many thanks for updating the program.(no sarcasm)

    Did you check the eso.mnf file? The /esoui/art/icon folder is located in there. It's more than 250MB in 30k files, so they probably didn't want to weight down the game.mnf with something that rarely changes.
    Thank you so much! It works! I was confused that it not displayed in search results.
    Search results only include already loaded mnf files, because it takes a while to open eso.mnf and I was too lazy to make additional UI to choose which archives to include on the search screen.

    No longer works
    Hello! I'm assuming this isn't supported anymore, but I prefer this over other datamining tools and I'd love if a fix could be made.
    As of this recent PTS cycle, trying to scan the depot\eso.mnf of the PTS results in the following error:

    "The value of "offset" is out of range. It must be > = 0 and < = 26961360. Received 285217326"

    I understand if this isn't in your to-do list, but I'd really appreciate being able to use this great tool still!
