[Enhancement] MO currently prioritizes FOMOD mod info but may need to prioritize available download info

[finalsliver]

The problem

meta.ini generated for LeanWolf's Better-Shaped Weapons for SkyrimSE generates with the Oldrim ModID.

The Mod URL is correct but this is ignored if users 'r-click' on a mod and choose 'visit on nexus', this feature seems to use the ModID field

Environment

• Mod Organizer Version: 2.1.2
• Last Mod Organizer Verison that did not exhibit the issue (if applicable): N/A
• Desktop OS/version used to run Mod Organizer: Windows 7 Pro

Details

After manually fixing this field in the meta.ini, if I were to reinstall and choose replace then the file will reset to the original Oldrim ModID.

This seems very strange to me since mo generates the URL based on your currently managed game. However the Dev builds have now included multi source game support for mods and downloads, so you might see if this still happens with those builds.

I assume this may be due to some Oldrim Mods being usable in SE?

In this case users trying to get to the above mods page will either pull up a completely different SkyrimSE mods page (as the mod ID's don't match the Oldrim ones) or pull up an error page as SSE hasn't reached that many mods to use the larger Oldrim ID.

It took me a bit of looking around to find that the meta.ini was related to the issue so some users may become rather confused.

Generally MO gets the mod ID from the nxm link via the Nexus API for that game. How was this mod ID populated?

[finalsliver]

used the download with manager button on the SkyrimSE page. installed from within MO2

[Silarn]

Okay... Well I still have no idea why it would be linking to an oldrim page. The SSE download would pull all mod data from the SSE API endpoints, especially with the current release.

The mod ID can also be adjusted in the mod details if necessary.

[Al12rs]

I tested that mod and it seems to me that the author simply packaged the mod with the old nexus id and did not update it for SSE. MO will read the mod Id from the fomod installer if there is one set. So it's not a problem on Mo's side but more of a problem with the mod. Now that we have multiple source games support we can't set Mo to use the url instead for the "Visit on Nexus" since we need to be able to calculate it dynamically.

[Silarn]

Perhaps we should prioritize the mod ID from the download if it's set
