The rules.bob files contain the commands that BOB uses to process files and to make mod packs.

Currently there is this rule in working_data root:

[Pack]

               <Files> = -*.pack
               PackFile = <retail>/data/mod.pack
               PackType = mod

This means it packs everything except packs to mod.pack.

If this rule is moved to a subdirectory and add the BasePath property then the contents f that folder can be redirected to another mod pack:

[Pack]

               BasePath = /
               PackFile = <retail>/data/another_mod.pack
               PackType = mod

The <Files> filter is not necessary here because probably no one has a pack file in a subdirectory.

The <Files> filter can be used for refining what goes where.

[Pack]

               <Files> = *.dds, -*_normal.dds, text_files/*.txt
               BasePath = /
               PackFile = <retail>/data/another_mod.pack
               PackType = mod
