NMM Installer, help needed

[DamarStiehl]

So I want a snazzy NMM installer for the next version of Mighty Magick, but XML isn't at all my strong suit. I find it a bit too complex to try and reverse-engineer someone else's installer, and the tutorials I have found thus far are either out of date, or I'm not reading them right.

 

Can anyone recommend a good tutorial or just help me put together an installer? I can give the list of all folders, files and options.

[Mattiewagg]

Could you post the options and folders you want here, and I'll see if it's too complex for me to do quickly? I could probably make it real quick for you, unless it's a monster of an installer.

[DamarStiehl]

Sure, thank you very much. It should be fairly simple.

 

Here is the list of folders, my notes in parenthesi:

 

001 Mighty Magick - Main (contains 1 ESP and 1 BSA, required module)

002 Mighty Magick - Dragonborn (contains 1 ESP and 1 BSA, optional module)

003 Mighty Magick - Enchantments Rebalance (contains 1 ESP and 1 BSA, optional module)

004 Mighty Magick - Artifacts (contains 1 ESP and 1 BSA, optional module)

005 Mighty Magick - Dragonborn Artifacts (contains 1 ESP and 1 BSA, optional module)

006 Mighty Magick - Dragon Priest Mask Meshes for Apophysis Textures (contains 20 .nif files under meshes\armor\dragonpriesthelms folder structure)

007 Mighty Magick - Dragon Priest Mask Meshes for Vanilla Textures (contains 20 .nif files under meshes\armor\dragonpriesthelms folder structure)

 

Ideally, I would like there be two pages.

 

Page 1 menu:

Checkbox for folder 001 - always checked, must be selected.

Divider

Checkboxes for folders 002 through 005 - all unchecked by default, user can select any number of them.

 

IF the user selected option 004 (Mighty Magick - Artifacts (contains 1 ESP and 1 BSA, optional module) they get Page 2 menu:

Checkboxes for options 006 and 007 - user may select only one.

 

That's it. Hope it's not too complex. Thanks for the offer of help, let me know if I need to add any additional info.

[Mattiewagg]

Okay, I'll do this today or tomorrow, since I'm sort of busy today.

[DamarStiehl]

Great. Thanks again.

[Mattiewagg]

Oh, one sec. I need the names and folder structure of all of the options. So relative to the install archive Data folder, where is every folder (say you have Textures/MMT and all of your textures are in that folder, you don't need to tell me the individual file names, just the folder. The fact you have a bsa makes stuff easier.)

 

You could have everything in a separate folder, like:

 

Archive 7z

001 Mighty Magick - Main

MightyMagick.esp

MightyMagick.bsa

 

But you have to tell me that. From what you said it seems like this is what you did, just NEED to confirm that or the installer won't work. Also, I need to know the exact names of the .esps and .bsas, as said.

 

Also where everything should end up, though I can probably guess that pretty easy so it's not necessary.

Ok, no problem, here is the list of folders, underlying subfolder structure and all files. All target locations are relative to Data folder.

Thank you! I'll extract all of them to Skyrim/Data.
