makeuswhoie Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 when i loaded up vortex today it informed me that there was an update for the Hogwarts Legacy extension, so i updated. when i updated, a window popped up saying that file changes occurred and asking me if i wanted to save the changes (delete 325 files) and like an idiot i clicked yes. so i went into the directories and all my mods in the staging folder had their main folders present but with all the files they contained deleted. why did Vortex suddenly remove all the files within my mods from their folders like this from a simple extension update? anyway, i pulled up my Vortex downloads folder and dragged and dropped all the mods i was actually using into the bottom of the mods page in Vortex, thus reinjecting all of them into the mods staging folder with all their data present. but now when i deploy, it's dumping all the enabled mods into the game's main directory, not the paks/~mods folder like before. so can anyone tell meA) why updating the extension led me down this path and how to avoid this with future extension updates, andB) how to fix my deployment function (in settings-mods there's a deployment field but it just determines deployment method, not deployment path, so from what i can see there's no obvious way to set where the mods are dropping on deployment. and how did this path even get changed in the first place??) SOLVED: I was using some extension that can't even be found on Nexus anymore. uninstalled this extension, installed the Vortex one and deployment is working again.
showler Posted March 23, 2023 Posted March 23, 2023 Extensions are supported by their authors primarily, unless it is one built by the Vortex team itself. Support for that extension should be done here: https://www.nexusmods.com/site/mods/520?tab=posts
