The reason for this
I play a game called Fallout 4, I've found with 12G+ of loose textures, Meshes and Materials it cough's and fats when looking around ingame.
I have Consolidated all the loose files and created a couple of BA2 archives (about 9Gb in 2 files) and loaded them into an empty ESP.
I have found my load time is quicker and there is no more Jittering when looking around and game runs smooth.
My ModGrinder Mod concept.....
I'm not a programmer but can make basic BAT files and I can edit others scripts.
I'd use ModOrganizer 2 to organize my mods i.e. Load order
it generates a file modlist.txt
e.g. content order is listed in reverse order to the visual order in the programs page.

I want to make a batch file that calls the Modlist.txt and moves the loose files (*.esp and *.BA2) and any subfolders in order {bottom to top} to the "ModGrinder" Mod folder then if a *.BA2 file exists it expands (external app) the compressed file. Then deleting the *.BA2
It will work it's way up the list till they are all moved to this "Grinder folder" folder.
Grinder folder should only contain *.esp and a bunch of folders
the Batch file then calls the BA2 archive program to compress the /textures folder and all contents in Type1 format then delete the /texture folder
the Batch file then calls the BA2 archive program to compress the other folder and all contents in Type2 format then deletes all sub folders
Caveats:
Need to Backup the Modlist.txt and change all the "+" in front of the mods to "-" so you know when they have been compressed "relates to mod on or off" only the plus ones get compressed.
There are more things but I think I've rambled on enough for now
Sorry is this a Little left field question but I'm not deep into the coding community and I thought you might have an idea on how I can get some interest doing this or pointing me to a forum in the internetverse or someone that may be able to assist me. (or write it for me

The process is easy just tedious when done by hand.
Any assistance would be appreciated.
