Lemurion Posted May 13 Posted May 13 It's not a big thing, but I really wish all modders would remember to put the mod's name into the filename for download. For example, two of the mods I downloaded recently had the following filenames: Main, and Loose Files (in both cases plus a series of numbers). I have almost 1100 mods in my backup folder, some going back years. Now most modders do name their files appropriately, so I can tell the mod they go to, but some don't. Please remember the poor people using the mods and include the name in the file so we know what mod the files go to. 1
IsharaMeradin Posted May 23 Posted May 23 While that would be nice, if those files came from a mod on the Nexus, that series of numbers can help you determine what mod it came from. The Nexus file name structure is as follows (brackets used to further separate the descriptive text): [Name the author gave the file]-[mod ID# as seen in the mod's URL]-[version # where any decimals are replaced with hyphens]-[file ID# used to locate the file on the Nexus server].[extension file was uploaded as] That explained, there are times where it gets confusing as the author included a version number in the file name itself. One can load up any mod page for the associated game and change the mod ID# in the url to then access the mod page that the mod file in question came from.
