It must have been hard to discontinue the Nexus mod organizer in its current form, but this was the only way that it could be modernized.

 

Thanks for taking the route that's healthiest for the users and their games, even if it is a lot of work.

OnyxSix wrote: If this doesn't end up having MO's virtual file system(Not a butchered, broken version, the exact vfs that MO has) then this will go unused by me no matter how many bells and whistles you strap to it.

Might be fine for a good chunk of people, and that's ok, but it won't be for me. I'd honestly rather stick to an alpha version of Mod Organizer than use a mod manager without that VFS again, it was just too good of a feature to go back to not using.


Yes I'm aware my opinion isn't worth the dirt on most people's boots but I'm sharing it either way, just to get it out there into the void.

I wish you all the best regardless, hope it turns out well.

Arthmoor wrote: And conversely, many people won't touch it if the VFS is a core feature that can't be turned off. Which is why it should be offered as an extension module for those who want it. That keeps everyone happy.

rdunlap wrote: I am one of the hardcore MO users for years. My only takeaway from NMM is hours and hours of reinstalling trashed games. That said I am going to simply wait and see. Tannin has consistently produced a great Mod tool and has even mentioned a virtual system "Option" or extension. I would like to see community input taken into consideration and given the track record for both Tannin and Robin I feel sure we will.

That said remember, Tannin produced a great product as a hobby, now as a paid project he will have MUCH more in the way of options and help so it can only get better.

MrJoseCuervo wrote: Exactly NMM has cost me hours destroying my games to the point where reinstall was the only option.

Anyone against the VFS is simply ignorant.

rdunlap wrote: no my point is that Options are great and having been a Tannin follower for a long while I trust him to produce a solution we All can live with.

Or we use Wrye Bash and don't have these problems. The world isn't just NMM and MO you know.

Making how it installs mods user choice via addon's is good, but at the least give the base program a choice of a "virtual" install (symlinks/hardlinks/vfs) and a straight to the Data folder install would probably make the most people happy (even if "virtual" is the default).

 

Making all folder locations user defineable during install and not requiring them to be manually moved after install via witchcraft and luck is very high on my list. I have lots of hard drive space but I install nothing but the bare minimum on my boot drive. It should be easy and in my opinion the default choice to install all files into the directory you install the application. Have it default to a folder off the root of the drive that game that is being installed to instead of Program Files if necessary.

 

That being said both NMM and MO are excellent programs in their own right (I haven't used Wrye much so can't comment on it) so I am excited to see what piece of art comes from a collaboration of the creators of both.

[baronaatista]

I'm excited for this, big congratulations both to Nexus and Tannin. I have no doubt the new NMM will be the go-to Mod Manager moving forward.

 

My one question is - will it solve the issue that MO had with OBSE? I don't know the technical details at all, I just know that was my major roadblock in modding Oblivion.
