OBMM multiple pages

[Themisive]

I use three different Oblivion installs for different purposes, this means in effect that ALL the OBMM shorctuts must be triplicated, as often I want to alter the files that are open on a specific programme, to make sure I have the correct files enabled or disabled it means having at least two OBMM windows open at any one time.

 

Unfortunately should I already have a window open, and I try to open a second I get a message telling me that I am not allowed to have more than one instance of OBMM open at any one time. This particularly apples to instances of the OBMM file shortcuts, here I want to make sure that the load order is the same on each of two installs and the only way I can make sure of this is bu haveing one window open as a reference and working on a second.

 

As this can also apply to the various BSA extractor shortcuts (though not with the same frequency I admit), I have been wondering is there any way I can alter this, say through a config file or such, as the problem is really getting annoying.

 

Anyone got any ideas?

That's a built in feature and it's not enough to change the app name. Although a good protection measure it was not thought that special case of multiple game installs, it seems. Should exist an option to allow multiple instances and the warning about the dangers, yet it's something to ask the authors to implement since OBMM is not supplied with the source code, at least not with the default installer.

 

PS: Should be noted what you ask is not that simple, to allow several game's installations the register must be dynamically changed, by itself that is enough to lead me to think it not being so easy task, at least not the kind that should be done directly on the binary code (like changing headers to fool the process manager).

If I remember correctly, OBMM doesn't have anything in the registry. So if you are using the multiple Oblivion setup We discussed a while back, you should be able to copy the same OBMM from one to another when swapping Oblivions.

THREAD IS BROUGHT BACK FROM THE DEAD!

 

Ok so I have the same issue...and now its messed something up so that when I open it up it only shows some of the ESM/ESP's

 

I have one install with Nehrim. When I open OBMM in that folder it ONLY shows the esm/esp files specific to Nehrim (the other ones in that folder are not shown at all). Any way to get OBMM to see the files (oblivion and shivering isle esp/esm's)? like a "recheck files" option or something?
