  • Can now set the download folder both during compilation and installation.
  • Any config files pointing to the download folder are remapped.

  • Refuse to run if MO2 is on the system installed in non-portable mode (otherwise broken installs may result)
  • Config files that don't otherwise match a rule are inlined into the modlist

Version 0.8.1 - 8/29/2019

  • Fixed a bug that was causing VFS temp folders not to be cleaned
  • 7zip Extraction code now shows a progress bar
  • Told 7zip not to ask for permission before overwriting a file (should fix the hanging installer problem)
  • Fixed several places where we were using long-path incompatible file routines
  • Changed the work queue from FIFO to LIFO which results in depth-first work instead of breadth-first TLDR: We now fully analyze a single archive before moving on to the next.

Version 0.8 - 8/26/2019

  • Mod folders that contain ESMs with names matching the Skyrim core ESMs are assumed to be cleaned versions of the core game mods, and will be patched from the ESMs found in the game folder. Note: if you have also cleaned the files in the Skyrim folder, this will result in a broken install. The ESMs in the game folder should be the original ESMs, the cleaned ESMs should go into their own mod. These files currently only include:
    • Update.esm
    • Dragonborn.esm
    • HearthFires.esm
    • Dawnguard.esm
  • ModOrganizer.ini is now interpreted and included as part of the install. As part of the install users will be asked to point to their game folder, and then all the references to the MO2 folder or Game folder in ModOrganizer.ini will be remapped to the new locations.
  • Progress bars were added to several install/hashing and compilation instructions
  • 7zip routines were rewritten to use subprocesses instead of a C# library. This will result in slower indexing and installation but should have full compatability with all usable archive formats. It should also reduce total memory usage during extraction.
  • Added the ability to endorse all used mods at the completion of an install
  • Custom LOOT rules are now included in a special folder in MO2 after install. Users can use this to quickly import new LOOT rules.
  • Moved the VFS cache from using BSON to a custom binary encoding. Much faster read/write times and greatly reduced memory usage. Note: This means that modlist authors will have to re-index their archives with this version. This is automatic but the first compilation will take quite some time while the cache reindexes.
