It is also possible to make install scripts to investigate if the user’s FO3 install is compatible with your mod (does the user have FOSE installed?), update the Fallout3.ini, or even get a nice GUI, presenting the install options for the user. Making sure that your mod is ready to be used with FOMM will help users install the mod correctly.
This allow you to keep a mean and clean data folder, with a much more efficient and stable game as a result.įor mod authors there are a number of advantages.

With the Package Manager, these mods can be installed and uninstalled with a mouse click. Other mods need to change Fallout3.ini settings which is easy to forget when uninstalling. The only way to uninstall these mods is to delete every single file they added. Some mods override the in-game textures and meshes (these are often called replacers). Why use the Package Manager?įor mod users the main advantage of the Package Manager is ease of install and uninstall. FOMM will be installed to the fomm folder in your Fallout 3 folder, and FOMOD files will be placed in the Fallout 3/fomm/mods folder. The default location is C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Fallout 3. You will need to know the location of your Fallout 3 folder. Before you start, make sure that you have installed the latest version of FOMM, at time of writing 0.9.15. The first part of the series centers on the basics, and is written with the mod user in mind.

From 0.9.9 the help button in fomm will link there instead of to the local readme if an internet connection is available.This is the first in a series of tutorials on how to use the Package Manager and the FOMOD format in Fallout Mod Manager (FOMM).

(ini tweaks being the obvious addition)Įdit: I've made the copy of the manual visible and editable by non-members, even if you don't have a sourceforge account. :mellow: I'll get that fixed and add some more options later on.
#Fallout mod manager fallout 3 Patch#
The only two options atm are to disable g4wl or to repack the textures bsa I had to remove the strip-stuff-from-fallout3.esm part because it seems that since the 1.1 patch modifying fallout3.esm with tessnip completely breaks fallout. There's no button inside fomm for the install tweaker yet run fomm with the '-install-tweaker' command line option. A corrupted settings.xml no longer crashes fomm, the bsa browser has a folder view instead of always displaying everything flat, and there's that new install tweaker utility that I was talking about in there for testing. it wont overwrite the file or any other conflicting files in that folder, but will still prompt for everything else.Ĭheville Thompson Posts: 3404 Joined: Sun 2:33 pmĠ.9.8 is up on sourceforge. No to folder does what you would expect i.e. It will then prompt again for textures\a.dds. If you click 'yes to folder' fomm will overwrite meshes\b.nif, but will also overwrite meshes\c.nif without prompting.
If you click 'yes to all' fomm will overwrite all other files without further prompting. Say the first prompt that comes up is for 'meshes\b.nif', then if you click 'yes' then meshes\b.nif will be overwritten, but fomm will still prompt you about the other two files. If you activate one and then the other, all three files will conflict. 'textures\a.dds', 'meshes\b.nif' and 'meshes\c.nif'. Say you have 2 fomods, both containing the same 3 identical files. Yes to folder causes fomm to overwrite any other files in the same folder without prompting, but will still prompt for anything else.

I couldn't find any info while searching the readme. I was thinking that perhaps it took the file that you were going to replace and put it into a folder somewhere so that you had a backup in case of a mistakenly replaced file. This might be a really stupid question but, what does the replace fomod option "Yes to Folder" or "No to Folder" do. I didn't have a lot of settings and preferences to worry about so deleting this file was easy for me.Īnyway, just stating for the record that (on Vista 圆4) my preferences file has gone "corrupt"somehow. This might help some people get it running again without reinstalling it entirely. I went into the fomm folder and deleted the settings file (which will regenerate) and everything was working again. I recently had troubles starting up FOMM after doing a bit of moving things around in my mods list.
