Junnari Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) I recently released a reskin mod for another standalone weapon mod, and was unable to figure how I need to compile the files inside the .rar to allow NMM to install the file. The file could be downloaded using it, but upon trying to install it the NMM only gave brief error message that there was a problem installing the mod without any further information regarding what went wrong. Could someone explain what is required from the file to be installable with NMM? Edited January 15, 2016 by Junnari Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonikone Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I am constantly amazed at how many people dont read previous ports before posting threads, or expect people to just guess what mod your having issues with.... information helps....

Demonikone Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) things that would help people resolve this issue for you 1: your Nmm Version2: the mod name and version3: have you tried installing it using NMM via the webpage?4: IS THE MOD NMM compatible?

Junnari Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 0.61.5 http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/8312/? Manual downloading functions properly as well as the new textures. Apparently not as it NMM cannot seem to install it properly.And just to clarify, I'm talking about my own mod, not someone else's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonikone Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) its a re texture and it SAYS NMM dosent install... once you HAVE the base mod, which i DO use actually in your game installed BY nmm, it tells you to download the file manually, extract the contents and copy and past them OVER THE ORIGINAL textures manually, if you cannot find the original files manually, download the original mod manually and look inside, it will show you the file structure of the textures, so you can then go INTO you data\textures folder and replace them manually SO nmm requires the CORRECT file structure to install, I think you use the same file structure MINUS the data directory, means creating new folder, naming it, then adding a new folder inside that, and name that, place textures.... archive.... basically Edited January 15, 2016 by Demonikone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junnari Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 (edited) The structure of the original mod is Data -> Tetures -> Weapons -> DhegWeap -> Parang -> the actual texture files The .rar of the reskin contains the same folders with same names and the replacement files in the Parang folder, so the structure should be correct as far as I'm aware.

Im not 100% sure but i think to make your mod nmm compatible, all you do is Remove the data portion of the file structure, and archive it, im happy to test that for you once you have uploaded the archive as i already have the parang in my inventory... even if litraly just REPLACE the textures int he original archive and delete the meshes folder and the ESP, it SHOULD work ;) also... just be sure to spell textures with an x :tongue: lol Edited January 16, 2016 by Demonikone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junnari Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 For some reason, if I remove the Data folder so that the Textures is the main folder inside the .rar, the NMM will give the following error whilst attempting to download the file: Server Unreachable: nxm://fallout4/mods/8312/files/31659 And yep, the folder is correctly named as Textures, starting to get bit tired trying to figure this out at 2 am ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robtest Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 did you use one of the fomod type programs to create the zip file ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junnari Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 No, I simply created an archive and added the folder to it using winrar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
