GamerPoets wrote: One thing that I'm curious about and I didn't seem to find anywhere...

Will there still be (or the potential to retain) the ability (from MO) to view individual files that are being overwritten by others mods so that you can easily skim through them (each mod) and hide particular files from each mod?

ex: 1 texture from this mod (hide), 1 mesh from that mod(hide), so on... ?

One thing that I loved about M.O. was if I installed different texture mods I didn't have to worry about loosing the pieces of one that is already installed when installing new mods that overwrite parts of them. I could click a button and have a file from any mod at any time hidden or activated.

This feature is on our to-do list and I see no reason why we would drop it but I can't give you any guarantee.
I can also not promise if it will be in the initial release or if it will be added at a later time because we haven't committed to a release-strategy here.

GamerPoets wrote: Fair enough = ) .. fingers crossed...

There has to be mod isolation like in MO. There just has to be. Please tell me that is what will be! :(

As this will be the fusion between Nexus Mod Manager and Mod Organizer.
Plus, one of the definitions for nexus is "a central or focal point", And this new mod manager being the new all-in-one mod manager by mixing in both previouly said managers, this manager is going to be the focal point now (Basically, Nexus, ties in really well with this name). :D

N.O.M.M = Nexus Official Mod Manager

Everytime I see NeMO though I think of a fish, I'm not sure I could take the mod manager seriously with a name like that :D

On another note, I'm really glad you're back working on a mod manager, Tannin, I honestly thought you'd found some unfixable bug with MO and quit!

Very excited for the future of the modding community!

that would make it sound like a real nexus owned software. well, that's for my honest opinion about the name.

Thanks and more power on this new project of Nexus!

Look, Booze, Tannin's getting paid for his work. That's because it's work.

They aren't charging for the new Manager, so why are you being such a sow about this?

I keep my opinion that Nexus Mod Organizer (NMO) is the best name. Short, carrying the site's name + utility of the app, and hopefully having the best of NMM and MO in a single software.

HadToRegister wrote: Problem with NMO if you pronounce each letter, you're one letter away from having it sound like

"Enemy", or "Enema", also, acronyms should be short and to the point, the shorter the better.

NeMO, two syllables, NMO, three syllables.

NexMod, could work

SanaRinomi wrote: Maybe NeF (Nexus Fusion).

As this will be the fusion between Nexus Mod Manager and Mod Organizer.
Plus, one of the definitions for nexus is "a central or focal point", And this new mod manager being the new all-in-one mod manager by mixing in both previouly said managers, this manager is going to be the focal point now (Basically, Nexus, ties in really well with this name). :D

It's a disappointment to know that the development team is already at work and not see the code, though. It would benefit both the team and the community to put the code up on GitHub so others can view it, comment on it, and contribute with bug reports, pull requests, etc. Given that the dev team is small (only 3 people), getting extra work out of the community would be a real help.

 

And I do mean GitHub, as opposed to other code-hosting sites. GitHub is a popular site where many developers already have accounts, so putting code there (vs. BitBucket, etc.) will maximize the opportunity for others to participate.

 

It would also be a good idea to use more open-source technologies (Java, Python, etc.) rather than a Microsoft stack (VC++, C#, etc.). The tooling, libraries, etc. around Microsoft technologies heightens the barrier of entry for the community to participate.

ssuamier wrote: Actually I disagree, go for C++ / C# / Java / Python / QML / HTML5 or whatever you feel is right. Most important is the framework not the language (I prefer Qt, GTK is great too, Java to me looks always a bit lagging behind except for Apps, but no MFC stuff please :smile: )

Whocares65 wrote: I don't think that VC++/C# adds any value to the project, but definitely creates barriers to broader participation. Of course the decision is ultimate down to the dev team (and at this point they've already picked a technology, obviously), but such choices should be made with the community in mind.

Tannin42 wrote: We use typescript (javascript superset) with electron/node for the base application with "native" modules (c++ or c#) where performance is important or for certain features.

 

Community participation is a big factor in this decision. We want the tool to be modular so users can extend / change it to fit their needs. C++ or C# as the base application would have been too big a hurdle imho, there are far more developers who have at least a base knowledge of JS and it's easier to learn, and harder to write crap code in.

 

There have been a lot of considerations on the tech, if you have a concrete proposal I can probably tell you why we decided against it. QML? Too obscure, there's practically no devs around that have existing knowledge. Python? quite slow and has no own UI kit so we'd be back at PyQt with QML. Java? Odd looking UIs and requires users to install a vm. from oracle. That tries to trick you into installing adware.

 

Regarding publishing the source code: If we were to release the code now, one of two things would happen: Either no one cares and so we gained nothing or we'd end up receiving tons of pull requests that conflict with each other and are incompatible because progress is fast and we have no fixed apis yet so we as the actual development team would end up spending way too much time managing the project instead of developing it.

 

We want to involve the community. But managing an open source project with an unknown number of independent contributors who each may make a single contribution or commit daily changes and who may require tutoring and up-to-date documentation of everything at all times requires completely different organization than a small team of 3 full-time devs who all have a good idea what the others are doing and work in their own corner.

 

Once we have stable extension apis you will get your chance to contribute.

ssuamier wrote: Thanks for answering personally, Tannin42. Your plan sounds good to me (I'd let in some a few more developers to the "base team" if I knew them well enough).

 

I use QML professionally and know about > 200 developers who use it too, but have not researched how many people are using it for their mobile (open source) apps (at least I'd suspected a higher number due to the age of Qt Quick / QML).

 

I have no bad experiences at all with Python (after all the modules get precompiled), but I can understand people not liking the language (and there is even a native variant named CPython). It would be nice however if you could offer a plugin for python scripts at least.

 

Javascript on the other hand requires a really good and fast engine. A lot of shopping and other large sites are at times extremely slowing down my not-so-slow computers (part of the problem is myself however) due to excessive javascript ad code (nexus alone has 19 trackers on this page). I hope the mod manager will have a much more simple architecture to avoid such problems.

 

I'd wish I had the time to contribute regulary to your project, that would be a lot of fun, but I already have another large private project.

 

Good luck on the future of your <insert favourite name here> mod manager!

ssuamier: electron uses node.js which in turn is based on googles v8. This is one of the fastest interpreters of any interpreted language. It is in most use cases several times faster than the default python interpreter (cpython). Pypy closes the gap a bit but thats not what most users use and it's not up-to-date with the language standard.

And don't get me started on the desaster around standards in python (2 vs 3).

 

 

That's good to know, a wise decision (qmlweb uses electron too as I learned recently). I agree that Python 2 vs. 3 is a mess. Have both a lot private and professional experience (most often use 2 myself). As you are planning to make the new nexus mod organizing tool plugin-capable I'm quite satisfied by what you are doing so far. Thank you for that.

 

I will be happy to test any early-release of the new nexus mod organizing tool if you need some more testers. I have a Skyrim installation with > 200 mods (close to 200 ESM/ESP) running with only minor issues. Have tons of ideas what I could test with it.

[ballju]

Do you currently have an estimate as to when the source code will be released?

GamerPoets wrote: One thing that I'm curious about and I didn't seem to find anywhere...

Will there still be (or the potential to retain) the ability (from MO) to view individual files that are being overwritten by others mods so that you can easily skim through them (each mod) and hide particular files from each mod?

ex: 1 texture from this mod (hide), 1 mesh from that mod(hide), so on... ?

One thing that I loved about M.O. was if I installed different texture mods I didn't have to worry about loosing the pieces of one that is already installed when installing new mods that overwrite parts of them. I could click a button and have a file from any mod at any time hidden or activated.

This feature is on our to-do list and I see no reason why we would drop it but I can't give you any guarantee.
I can also not promise if it will be in the initial release or if it will be added at a later time because we haven't committed to a release-strategy here.

I'd like to clarify this because I am seeing it everywhere on the internet - there is no "thirded", "fourthed" or "fifthed" - if you agree with the initial statement, it is only ever "seconded", even if you are the fiftieth person agreeing, you still only "second" the motion.

[thunderlord2200]

Will there be any support for the new skyrim thats heading out on the 28th?

 

also one of the biggest things i always wondered if you where going to start freash, i got the answer is yes, but the question is when this comes out will it be a easy upgrade.. err move over from nmm?

 

2nd quest i have is will this be able to merge mods together so it wont be over loader the load count. or will there ber some way to in-cress the amount of mods you can run? i love to have a way to merge mods together saftly and when it comes down to stuff like this i get to over whelmed.
