Dragon Age support for NMM, DA2 support incoming, site splits and top file browsing

  • Comment
As we (continue to) ramp up towards our centralisation of the site databases we’ve started work this week on “splitting up” sites that currently host more than one game. Each game for Dragon Age, Neverwinter, The Witcher and Mount & Blade will be split into separate Nexus sites and while they’ll keep the same colour scheme I’ll change the background image to make it more obvious which site you’re currently browsing.

Typically the Nexus sites aren’t as easy to navigate if more than one game is hosted on the same site; it makes it harder to find mods for the specific games while muddying the waters by making multiple games all vie for the same top files, files of the month votes and so on, so it makes sense to separate the sites. Our plans to centralise the sites will eliminate this problem, but this task not only makes the current sites more usable but also eliminates a task we’d have had to have performed later anyway.

Hopefully that’ll be done relatively soon, but there’ll obviously be some (hopefully only momentary) downtime during the actual splits of the sites as the databases are reworked.

On the NMM front we’ve recently plugged several more bugs in the software and have also implemented support for Dragon Age. We’ve updated Dragon Age Nexus to support the “Download with manager” functionality but this functionality will only work with Dragon Age 1 (and not Dragon Age 2) for the moment. We hope to have DA2 support implemented quite quickly after we’ve split the sites and have some feedback on DA1 support.

We’ll release the Dragon Age support officially in version 0.45.0 of NMM when the site split is completed but we’d love it if you could download this version early and let us know if it works well for you. We’ve tested it with zipped up loose files, straight .dazip files and .dazip files within .7z or .rar archives (so archives within archives) and initial testing suggests it’s working well, but we’d love it if you could help us out, download this latest version manually and let us know yourself. This release simply adds Dragon Age support so it’s not really “cutting/bleeding edge”, and if all goes well this exact file is the one we’ll push to the update server for everyone to get in a week or so.

Lastly a few people requested the ability to be able to go past the top 25 and top 100 file lists to see the top 26-50, 51-75, 76-100 lists and so on. We’ve added this functionality to the hot files now and you can use the “forward” and “back” links to go backwards and forwards through both the lists. So if your file is 101 in the list, and ergo just missed out, it no longer misses out.

    so any files that contain the "Chargenmorphcfg" that you had to compile and manually install in the correct files, and blah, you no longer have to worry about? NMM will handle all of it for you now? Because I have to reinstall my DA game, it would be a dream come true if I don't have figure out how to re-hand install all the mods again into the right files!

    Seriously. I forgot how to since I haven't played DA in a while... if I don't have to manually install mods anymore and NMM will do it all for me... I don't know what I'll do with myself. Scream for joy.... maybe Since only one Chargenmorphcfg can be a primary in the folder at the same time as another... and NMM can sort it out since its an amazing program with Skyrim... it would be amazing.... a breath of fresh air, a serious relief! Anyone know?


     
    Sorry, NMM doesn't do this for you.  But Terra_Ex's outstanding utility "CharGenMorph Compiler" does!  (And for DA2 as well.

    So I had to reinstall Dragon Age 1&2. I come back to the Nexus for some must have mods and find that the games/mods are across 2 pages now. Thank you so much for splitting up the Dragon Age sites, you have made my day.

    I may have run into an issue with DA mods in NMM. DAO Modmanager allowed you to configure override files but NMM doesn't seem to have that functionality from what I can tell making some mod features unusable... http://dragonage.nexusmods.com/mods/2084/? for example.  Will it cause any problems to use both mod managers? I know other games have issues trying to use multiple mod manangers.


     
    The short answer is:  You can use both just fine.
     
    The longer answer is:  Neither one will "know" about the mods you've installed with the other, except to the extent that both can read the various directories ("\override", "\addins", etc.) where the mods are placed when they're "installed".  But that doesn't mean that they can deal with removing ones the other added, and so one of the chief benefits of using a Manager is lost when you use two of them.
     
    Remember, unlike the Morrowind/Oblivion/Skyrim style of mods, DAO/DA2 doesn't have a "load order". So what would be "conflicting mods" for other games simply becomes "one works and the other doesn't" for DA.
