Archive Invalidation

[hiznik]

Before you start typing, please know that I am ignorant about modding beyond using and trying to avoid conflicts with them.

 

When I installed Vortex a week or so ago the dashboard had the ToDo List Dashlet for setup which was mostly self-explanatory, but there was an item for "Archive Invalidation" (let's call it "AI") with On/Off option that I left "Off" and then closed the Dashlet. I think I may have screwed up there, because I see that a couple of mods (e.g. New Vegas Weapon Retexture Project) call for disabling AI, installing the mod, and then re-enabling AI. I have only a fuzzy notion of what AI is, something about whether or not a newer file beats an older file with the same name.

 

Now I can't find an option to On/Off the AI in the Vortex settings and it's not covered in the Vortex User Interface Dashlet Wiki. Since the Vortex Dashlet did have this option which I made disappear, how concerned should I be about this when installing a mod?

Fallout NV needs it.

 

Turn on BSA Redirection.

To turn that GETING STARTED DASHLET back on, just go to SETTINGS------>INTERFACE------>Dashlets----->ToDo List

Okay, I turned on BSA redirection.

 

The ToDo List is already toggle to On in the Interface settings but does not appear on the Dashboard. Likely Vortex thinks there's nothing left to do and so does not appear there. Well at this point I should just go ahead and see if things seem to be working okay in the game. I suppose I could re-install Vortex to regain the use of that AI toggle if it's really needed for some mod installs.

 

Thank you both for your help. Happy trails.

Don't mean to necro, but I'm having the same issue with the "ToDo" dashlet being turned on in settings but not appearing on the Dash. Also, the Starter dashlet, where it shows the thumbnail of the game and the tools for said game, are also not showing and I just have "Tools" with no option to add the thumbnail launch button that shows the game being managed and how many active mods are currently loaded. And no, I, personally, hate the mini thing at the top of the window. I dislike that update greatly and would rather have the dashlet I was using for years back.
