Is there a check and assume that there is to see if a file exists and if it does do not over write it?

In Sola tp2 Weimer uses this:

ACTION_IF NOT FILE_EXISTS ~override/action.ids~ THEN BEGIN
COPY ~solarom/ids/action.ids~ ~override/action.ids~
END

Would assume this is still a feature in newer versions, it is still in documentation:

ACTION_IF Predicate THEN BEGIN TP2 Action list END [ ELSE BEGIN TP2 Action list END ]

Though it looks like FILE_EXISTS_IN_GAME might be better predicate (says override and biffs searched)

Apparently zero content file is same as file does not exist (true for either predicate). Good!

Here's a situation where ANOME25D.BCS doesn't exist in TOB, but some mod might have introduced it... so if it's there, we just want to ADD our code, but if it's not there we'll CREATE it.


ACTION_IF
FILE_EXISTS ~override\anome25d.bcs~
THEN BEGIN
EXTEND_BOTTOM ~anome25d.bcs~ ~kelseytob\V2Scripts\j#ano25d.baf~
END
ELSE BEGIN
COMPILE ~KelseyToB\V2Scripts\J#Ano25D.baf~
END

Someone read my mind because my next question was along the same lines. Thanks B)
