Vortex wrongfully flagged mods as outdated

[troll051128]

There are no real updates for some of the mods I have repacked, but Vortex still wrongfully says there are updates available. Is there a way to get rid of the "update available" thing in mods? Do I need to reinstall all these mods just to do that?

could you give an example of vortex flagging a mod as outdated please?

That's a Meta Data problem between the Website and Vortex usually caused by modders not using proper methods of versioning their mods.

That's really unfortunate. If a user manually enters version 2.0 for a mod, and the mod page says version 2.0. It means the mod is up-to-date and verified by the user. Manually entering records seems to have no priority, and Vortex probably checks the file structure or whatever which flags it as outdated.

It grabs the meta data on the Mod Author's Mod Page, and what they entered for the version number.

When you repackaged the mod, did you name it exactly what it was?

"Apothecaria-1036-2-2-1-1587679762.7z" ?

there is an extension you can use that will cause vortex to ignore any mod that flags up as requiring an update. you can find it here; https://www.nexusmods.com/site/mods/171

No, didn't know Vortex uses metadata from filename.

That's really helpful, I'm glad an extension like this exists. I wonder why they don't ship this with Vortex?

well vortex is built to support a whole variety of user-written addons. it means the devs can concentrate on core function, and if someone creates a mod to perform a task, the devs are not side tracked.

its a simple, but brilliant system.
