New Features

• New Nexus Mods API support. This touches almost everything concerning connections to the Nexus. Downloads, update checks, endorsements, ...
  • You must reauthenticate within the Settings Nexus tab
    • You no longer enter user credentials, instead you will see a button. Click this button and you will be redirected to Nexus where it will ask you to log in and then authenticate the request for MO2. Once this is done MO2 will automatically receive and store your API key. If you revoke this key on Nexus, you will need to click the button to revoke your local credentials and then request a new key.
  • Requests are (currently) limited to 2500 a day and 100 per hour. (They are consumed simultaneously.)
    • Your currently remaining requests as well as the count of currently queued requests are now displayed at the bottom of the Mod list. This counter may be hidden in the settings.

  • Similar to the endorse mod feature. Indicated with a push pin in the flags column.
• Added "Explore Virtual Folder" option in executables list.
  • This launches a bundled instance of Explorer++ in the game directory. This can be handy to view files in their natural habitat and copy files out of the virtual file system.
  • DO NOT try to move, delete, or create files through Explorer++. It probably won't work too well, if at all.
• Added notification plugin to check for common script extender errors like using the wrong version of files (kudos to AnyOldName3).

  • Selecting "priority..." will allow you to set a specific priority for the mod or plugin.
  • Selecting "separator..." in the mod list only will allow you to send the bottom of a section as defined by your separators.

v2.1.2

Changelog:

Changelog Mod Organizer2.1.2

Virtual File System (usvfs) changes:
- All the files that are edited inside the virtual folder will get properly edited now,
without getting copied over to overwrite. This means that plugins or masters edited
in xEdit for example will no longer show up in the overwrite folder as they did before
and the changes will instead be applied to the original file instead, like it was
supposed to do. The old behaviour can be considered a bug.
This will greatly lower the cluttering of the overwrite folder.
The overwrite folder will now only contain newly generated files that were not already
present in the virtual folder.
- Fixed a bug with relative paths that could create problems with tools such as BodySlide.
- Fixed unquoted paths handling for problems with tools such as LODGen.
- Added hook for new system function introduced by Windows Spring Creators Update which was breaking usvfs.
- Fixed some script extenders randomly not launching.
- Fixed most cases of WB folder in use error.
- Fixed usvfs not being able to map newly added files correctly.
- Fixed handling of relative paths for two hooked functions.
- Fixed handling of wildcards for search functions.
- Fixed a problem with lower priority files popping up after deleting or renaming mapped files.
- A great number of stability fixes and improvements.

- Fixed a bug that enabled the "Clear" button at the start even if there were no filters selected.

the Downloads of Mods that were uninstalled.

- Fixed incorrect plugin order handling for older games.
- Included support for script extender save files when transferring and deleting saves.
