Open VortexFeedback opened 4 years ago

VortexFeedback commented 4 years ago

Vortex Version: 1.2.19 Memory: 23.97 GB System: win32 x64 (10.0.18362) Hi. As per the discussion on the forum, here is an example of a .override file. https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonage/mods/554? Currently Vortex can't handle these and thre are still a large number of DAO mods that use this format. Thanks.

Not going to lie: When you initially reported this I assumed .override was a file type used by the game. As it turns out it's an installer format for DAO Mod Manager, so these mods are effectively designed to be usable only with that manager in a fairly conscious decision by the mod author.

The format doesn't seem to be super complicated but it's still a lot of work for a few mods for one game. Can't promise this will be high priority...

Understandable. 7zip can open them. Is it just a matter of deciphering the config file?

TanninOne commented 4 years ago

Well, the config is just a xml file with the options to offer and list of files but then we have to build a UI for the user to select the options, that's by far the most amount of work

Well, I don't know if this is any help. But I can test when the time comes, if needed.
