rmm200 Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Well shoot - I swear that use to work.Current Powershell syntax is "dir -n > mods.txt".That works today - but no guarantees about tomorrow. This is Windows, after all. In the Powershell window you can also use 3 commands: (first one puts you in "legacy" mode) cmddir . /b > mods.txtexit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grovermclurg Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Any thoughts on an import function? Seems to be the way of the future, and at least in my view, is a good way to use a few dollars supporting Nexus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garethp Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I was rather surprised that there wasn't an export/import function, so I tried to make an extension to add one myself. It's very simple and just a first beta version essentially, but you can download it here: Vortex-Modlist-Backup. You download that into a folder in the plugins folder for Vortex (I have it in %AppData%\Vortex\plugins\extension-backup), and then when you go to the Modlist in Vortex there's a Modlist dropdown with a Backup and a Restore button. Backup just creates a json file in the same directory as the plugin and Restore restores that list. Unfortunately you need to be Premium members to restore, but it ottherwise works. There's some features I still want to make (such as being able to choose where to back the files up to and where to restore them from), but for now it should work for keeping a back up for a large list of mods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garethp Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Yeah, since I made that post I asked around in the Discord chat and got some advice on how to have the user pick their own save file location and how to restore from their own save file location Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a world that now has Wabbajack, it would be great if Vortex users could share not only their modlists, but their complete installs along with conflict settings and everything. Import someone else's profile config file, make sure you're Nexus Premium and let Vortex handle the entire install. To me it seems like "killer app" level functionality, sorry for the hackneyed terminology! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vyxenne Posted November 30, 2019 Share Posted November 30, 2019 Plugin list <> Mod list. Plugin lists are easy-peasy, from Loot (with load order and index) or by simply reading plugins.txt. But since many mods don't have plugins, that is not meeting the need. Like installation date/times, requests for mod lists fall on deaf (or indifferent) ears. I opened a feature request for it on GitHub and Tannin replied "There's an extension for that" and closed the case, making it impossible for me to ask the followup question after installing the extension: "How the hell do you use it?" since there are no obvious entry/activation/launch points for the extension, nor any local file containing a list of mods. So, despite the extension, I'm still not able to generate a mod list out of Vortex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
