If you have anything else you think should be added to this tutorial, please post it here.
This tutorial is quite long and since English isn't my first language I might have made a couple mistakes. So I would appreciate if Grammar Nazis could give in to their dark desires and use the forum topic I created just for that instead of cluttering the Comments section.
I wish I had found your tutorial when I was working on my TESV SE mod: MultipleEnchantments. It would have made publishing it SO much easier!
As for your use of the English language (or to be more precise, the American dialect of the English language), it could be used as an example of "how it should be done".
Be careful, the [img] code doesn't resize your image, so you'll have to select your image with the right size from the get go.
Without seeing your image and how it's displayed on your page, it's hard for me to give you a better suggestion.
My guess is it's cut at the end because your image is too wide and since the [img] tag doesn't resize your image, it cuts it when it reaches its limit.
How do you get the "DOWNLOAD WITH MANAGER" button to work?
I've uploaded a mod but when clicking "DOWNLOAD WITH MANAGER" I just get an empty dialogue box instead of the requirements list, and it doesn't download.
If I modify the file to not display requirements, the "DOWNLOAD WITH MANAGER" button is missing altogether.
The mod installs fine when downloading manually...
Is there some special file or structure that Nexus requires in the ZIP file for this to work properly?
When you upload your file, there's a checkbox "Set the new file as the main NMM file". It should be the only thing needed to display the Download with Manager button.
As for what that button should do, it should do it by itself. Maybe the problem is with your installation of NMM. Are you having problem doing this for another mod? Does anyone you know could try to download it for you?
If all else fail, contact support from the Nexus, there might be something else in play.
Sorry I can't help you more with that, it should just work...
What do you mean? I don't understand the question...
If you're talking about the page with the Hot Files and the News, you actually need to receive a lot of endorsements in a short period of time. But that's another topic and this is not the focus of this guide.
Hi, really nice guide, I was just wondering, is there an easy way how to figure out which scripts does the mod use? Because while some of the names are quite obvious, I also noticed that compiling scripts creates loads of TIF_XXXX files, so I wonder if I have to search them by name from CK and match them with those in the scripts folder, or if I only need the ones with the quest names in them. Thanks!
Ah ok, this is a nice trick - I was about to start comparing the scripts with those on my other PC without the mod, this makes it much easier. Thanks a lot!

Maybe they simply put the youtube tags on the same line in their description. That's what appears to me the most logical way to do it.
If you're more versed in HTML, you could check the structure behind with "Inspect Element". This could help you figure out how they did it.

A mod has all its scripts packed in the Script folder. It needs them all otherwise it won't work as intended.
If you're creating a mod, all you can do is sort the Script folder by Modified Date and copy all new script you created.
