Since this would be considered piracy these days, has anyone bothered to reverse-engineer how Vortex handles collections, so they can just be imported straight to Mod Organizer?
Every single fucking other application has bend the knee to Nexus, and forces you to fucking download files one by one, manually clicking each and every download.
There’s gotta be a better way.
Yes, Vortex is awful. Wanna download a 100 mod collection without shilling money to Nexus, which they sure as fuck won’t give to mod creators?
Lmao you better like clicking 300 times to finish those downloads, oh and the fucking buttons keep moving to combat “automation software”.
I was wondering wtf you were talking about with this “Vortex” thing but I guess that just goes to show you how long it’s been since I used it lol
Nexus Mod Manager has been dead since gosh, 2017 or so I want to say. They kept it around for a few years and I think you can still get it from somewhere on their site but iirc they hired the guy who made Mod Organizer 1 to make Vortex, the new Nexus Mod Manager. Mod Organizer is amazing though so idk why Vortex sucks so much.
Their website says it was officially canned November 2021 which lines up with when I would have last used it (early 2021)
Guess I’ll skip Vortex if I ever feel like replaying Stardew Valley
Yeah, the old NMM got shelved because it made downloading too easy.
What’s the problem with vortex? As a modder for total war, I dream about the day total war would get a mod launcher like that.
I haven’t used vortex so not sure what additional features you’d want, but TW does have a third party mod manager that is pretty good: https://github.com/Kaedrin/warhammer-mod-manager
Kaedrin mod manager, runcher, Prop Joe’s manager and a deprecated one by a user on the modding discord. We got plenty of mod managers in development but nothing as developed as vortex.
Vortex allows for profiles, configuration during installation, easy install for central “mods”, very visible mod version, etc…
I’m sure runcher/Frodo’s new mod manager will get there, but my point is vortex got everything a user and a modder may want for that game.
Also, I’m not sure if Kaedrin is actively developing his mod manager, he doesn’t seem very active on the discord.
