Vlad254 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Like the title says. I help many people in the Steam Forums with their modding issues when I can. However, I feel many who are confused would be better informed if they could read some basic facts about Vortex. So although this would be a short guide, much of it would be me copy and pasting from the info provided once you download Vortex. I would also be using the words "according to the Vortex Team", or "according to Vortex" followed by the copied information from Vortex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmm200 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I recommend putting the copied text inside quotes. That makes it clear you are not passing off someone else's work as your own.Your attribution sounds OK to me - but then I am not a Vortex team member.

Vlad254 Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 Thnx rmm200, yes, that sounds good. and yes, I'm looking for a Vortex Team member as I could not find a way to email them. They do reply here do they not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad254 Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 I have pretty much finished the "guide" but have not published it. However I can give a member of the team access to what I have so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickysaurus Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Hi Vlad, It's great that you want to share this knowledge with people on Steam :) While I won't stop you from copying from our documentation, I would strongly advise linking back to the source page. This can become problematic if we update the documentation and your guide falls out of date. At some point in the future Vortex may have a UI refresh and that would involve a significant rewrite of our docs. I suppose a good middle ground would be to use the quotes and include a link to where it came from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where can I find the proper link? I currently have the quotations in place and have mentions throughout as to where info came from; example "taken directly from Vortex archives" or "taken directly from Vortex mod manager", something to that effect.

Vlad254 Posted January 24, 2020 Author Share Posted January 24, 2020 would I use the Github link https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/Vortex/releases/? ok, so far I have these 2 links https://www.nexusmods.com/about/vortex/? https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/Vortex/releases/ ok, I published it so that it could be viewed. Consider this a rough draft therefore wide open to suggestions: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1977191236 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
