Dark0ne Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 I resent being pestered to give you money when so many basic issues with the Nexus and its mod manager remain unresolved. Quoting for the irony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splashblue Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 What irony is that? It seems like you're operating under the expectation that you should be paid for providing a functionally incomplete product that only works when it feels like it.

It seems like you're operating under the expectation that you should be paid for providing a functionally incomplete product that only works when it feels like it. And you're operating under the expectation that a free service should work as well as a paid for one. There-in lies the irony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splashblue Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Funny thing, that. The mod managers that came before have more and better functionality than NMM, and none of them ever pestered me for money at any point. So when the free services work better than the paid ones, what can you possibly be basing your argument on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark0ne Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 Which begs the question; why are you using NMM if you find it inferior to other products already out there? Indeed, we released NMM as open source so that you could help us with the development of it. Care to help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splashblue Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Very artful dodge, but I'll humor you. I'm using NMM for two reasons: 1) Because I bought into the program early, and found out the hard way that NMM and the old managers don't play nice with one another. Migrating back to the old managers at this point would be more of a hassle than it's worth, so it's something I have planned for my next wipe/reinstall cycle. 2) Skyrim doesn't have a stand-alone mod manager that I'm comfortable with. I would help your development if I could, but I'm afraid that writing scripts for New Vegas is about the limit of my programming abilities. I'm sure you'll be able to find a sarcastic remark to make about that, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark0ne Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 So really, you came on here to complain about the Premium link, money from which goes directly in to (a) paying for all the servers you download from and (b) paying for the people we have working on NMM full-time, because you don't think NMM is worth paying for, but you use it because the alternatives would take time to go back to or there aren't any you're comfortable with. The irony being that if more people paid to become Premium, we'd have more people working on it, and ergo NMM would be better with more features. Is that about right?

splashblue Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Wait, wait, wait. Hold on a second. How much money and how many people do you have to throw at a program that can't even accomplish what timeslip managed with a small team of contributors for next to nothing before red flags pop up? I was actually going to admit that you had me beat, until I saw that part. If you want people to support your servers, that's one thing, but it sounds like NMM is turning into a bottomless resource sink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgiegril Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 I feel like I'm interrupting a private argument. Sorry for that.:confused: I just wanted to say that the new update is quite a positive improvement on what I already considered to be a great tool. I definitely notice the faster download speed, and I appreciate the extra US server. Good work!And Thanks!:biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginnyfizz Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Mine is working fine, the downloads had got really quite bad on the previous version but now it is better, downloading basically at the usual speed of my internet connection. One thing that I do find a pain is the difficulty sometimes in logging in to NMM, as happened to me recently when I reinstalled on my new rig. I know fine that I was using the correct password and username that I use on the Nexus sites and I even typed them on a text document and pasted them, but I literally had to uninstall and reinstall about half a dozen times before it would have it. But oddly enough, it did not happen after the updates to NMM that have happened since my reinstall. I do have a dynamic IP and whether that causes problems I don't know (some random "improvement" that BT seem to have foisted on me, my IP address was always constant until recently when GW2 has been demanding that I authenticate self due to logging in from a different IP), but yet another reason to kick the online requirement into touch. Maybe NMM doesn't always recognise me either, although I can always log into Nexus without issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
