Tech Support on vortex game profiles

[toxsickcity]

Hi all,

 

This is a question specifically for tannin,

 

I want to know if the profiles are pretty straightforward,

Eg:

oblivion has a folder rHEtoOZBM

 

there are two files inside. load order and plugins txt files

 

I tried in file explorer creating another folder beside rHEtoOZBM and named it

rHEtoOZBv adding the same two text files

 

I wanted it to appear in vortex but did not, so I think there is a file which keep track of the profiles vortex creates

 

I want to know in case of a system rebuild or other purpose where the vortex becomes broken.

 

Can I expect so long as the same files exist in the mod directory,

if I was to copy and paste the two text files above to a new profile it creates and overwrite the text files in that profile would vortex be able to use it?

or are there other settings/options somewhere that I need to be careful of?

 

cheers

Shaun

Profiles need to be created inside Vortex. And no, you should not edit/replace the files there, vortex profiles are designed in such a way that they are the least amount of surprise.

So you can continue to work with the original plugins.txt and loadorder.txt files and Vortex will import those to the active profile as necessary. Otherwise every other tool would have to explicitly support Vortex profiles, that would be insane.
