I've been playing with this mod since the very beginning and it has never let me down. Thank you very much for creating it. All the best to you and good luck!
guys this is a very old mod made to be used ONLY with DAI Mod Manager... NOT Frosty. Still works perfectly in DAI mod manager. Old mods of this gameplay mechanics type don't work in Frosty if they are not properly converted for Frosty. You can't just drop any daimod you want into Frosty. Some textures will work fine others won't, depending on channels and formats, many other types of mods like this won't either. Don't complain if you are trying to use it in wrong manager.
can you tell me what is frosty? i wanna try mod this game but i see that mod manager is abandoned for it wich is crazy never seen it happen to any game
DAI mod manager is not "abandoned" in a sense that you cant use it, it's perfectly functional working program upgraded fully with final version. it will just not be updated any more because the game is not being updated any more. there's no need for it any more. Last game update was years ago in 2015 it's not in development any more, so the apps don't need to be updated any more either. so that is the only reason it is "abandoned" you can use it normally.
frosty mod manager is a different mod manger. newer, it can do some things DAI mod manager can't, especially with hair and some scripts and advanced bundle editing this is why it is still being developed. it can also edit meshes and shapes better than DAI editor. But many of the great mods here are older and have been done for DAI Mod manager only.
They use different file formats. DAI manager imports .daimod files, and frosty imports .fbmod files.
The trick is newest Frosty lets you import some of these older .daimod files but not all will work so it's risky. They have different encryptions and for textures they use different normals. so some people think you can drop any .daimods into Frosty but you can't. Some mods will work fine some will crash your game. For a .daimod to be fully functional in frosty it has to be converted for frosty with right tools.
Generally mods like this that change gameplay mechanic will not work cross managers.
to be safe you can use either DAI Mod manager and use only daimods, or use only Frost Manager and use only .fbmods, OR you can use both managers at the same time like I, and many other do. :)
@Gungrave yes it does what are you talking about? I did last full playtrhough in february/march this year last time using tones of mods in both DAI mod manager and Frosty simultaneously and it all worked fine.
@Gungrave I wanted to test your theory so I downloaded DAI mod manager again (version 1.0.0.59. from discord) since I have a new PC, I added and merged 35 different dai mods without problem and started a game and it all works. so please don't spread false info, DAI mod manager works just fine confirmed. it might be that some individual mods don't work if they are outdated.
hey, just wanted to say thank you for the useful information. i've never modded inquisition before but wanted to give it a shot and ended up here first.
I think the DAI Mod Manager from Nexus doesn't work anymore. Whenever you use the .exe of the mod manager, an error occours. I downloaded the mod manager from here https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/daitools/latest-version-announcement-t1068.html and it worked fine. For People new to modding, i recommend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzqlRtSIsC8 as a tutorial.
the version on discord is the final one and functioning one.. this one in the link was alpha... get it on discord... the final version is 1.0.0.59 (FULL, not alpha...)
Guys is it okay to have the main game file and the DLC files at the same time? Cause I'll be using Frosty and DAIMM together and DAIMM requires to merge everything together and merging and unmerging is a pain.
I don't think it's a necessary mod. The duration of the war table missions continues in real time when we are not in the game. Also, I don't think there will be a problem with the completion of the war table missions if we take them regularly while playing the game. This mod seems like a cheat to me and will probably cause bugs in the game.
Thank u 4 this mod. I get that the game is like a historical artifact from ancient times and I am not sure how games worked back then, but an irl time-gating mechanic in a single player game is kind of silly 2 me..
I have a slew of mods installed b4 I installed this one (in frosted manager) and had little problems with the installation, but I do want to just notify that my games settings, as in gameplay, interface, audio, graphics etc were reset to default upon launching my game. It's not a major issue but if u play on mkb and hv custom keybinds, they will get reset. Ur subtitles will also hv 2 be turned back on Expect a jumpscare if u adjusted the audio and volume settings If u using ECC and specifically a modded hairstyle, it's likely broken bc ur mesh setting needs 2 be set back 2 ultra.
Just thought I would post this in case others has similar problem and can't figure it out

Thank you all for your comments and endorsements!
Have fun playing!
But I hardly deserve so much praise for this little mod.
I am nontheless thankful for your kind words.
Good luck to you too!

If you want smth for War Table for Frosty manager try this newer mod instead:
Shorter War Table Missions (Frosty and DAIMod)

these are instructions if you want to use combination of both:

like I said previously. SOME daimods will work in frosty, other will not and will break your game because they need to be converted.
