Automated mod installation Tool [OSX/WIN10]
Posted: 19 Apr 2019, 03:56
Hi guys!
My friends would like to get into playing Morrowind, but hate the idea of jumping through a 50-200 step process to bring the new car smell to Vvardenfell on every install.
I started work on a python script (eventually to be wrapped in a gui) that fetches the files from each linked page, downloads them to a local folder, and extracts them to a dummy folder structure. That could then be drag-n-drop merged with the morrowind install directory.
I thought this might be a neat thing to have to help get my friends to give morrowind a try, especially after seeing the beautiful 0.45 screenshots a forum user posted with all of those mods. Would you guys be okay with this sort of thing existing? Is there already something similar/better/should be merged with?
I also think putting in an auto-updater for the OSX launcher would be a fun project to work on, using SVN or similar.
