wabbajack VS rtx-remix

As far as I know, downloading and installing each mod is the main method for the modding-openmw lists.

There is a tool to try to automate game modlist installs called Wabbajack [1]. It was briefly discussed on the openmw forums [2]. I'm not sure if anyone has tried further to get the modding-openmw lists working with it. I have never used Wabbajack, so I don't know too much other than it exists. It still seems to have extra requirements according to the post, including a premium NexusMods account if you don't want to manually download everything.

Just as I typed all the above I saw a mention of portmod [3] in the modding-openmw guide about mod managers. Seems it's like Gentoo's portage, but for game mods. I see it has some meta packages for modding-openmw in their ebuild-like repository [4], but I don't think any of the big lists have been updated in awhile. Also, there again seems to be issues with it auto downloading from NexusMods mentioned in the issue tracker. Nevertheless, it looks to be an interesting project.

There haven't been a need to mess around with mod load order since at least 2019.

Wabbajack is the name of an installer to simplify installing mods, in these days of a modded skyrim install having potentially hundreds of mods totalling more gigs than the entire primary game install.

All previous releases are readily available on the Wabbajack Github Releases page: https://github.com/wabbajack-tools/wabbajack/releases

To do that: download https://github.com/wabbajack-tools/wabbajack/releases/download/2.5.3.28/2.5.3.28.zip. Unzip to a folder called 2.5.3.28 inside your directory where wabbjack.exe is located. Run 2.5.3.28\wabbajack.exe

You can also check out Wabbajack which is used with this modding guide. This should hopefully set you on the right path. Pre-Skyrim modding typically uses 3rd party modding software that is more in-depth and configurable than MCM to the detriment of being accessible to those less inclined to spend time setting up mods.

Nice. I think the code is at https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/rtx-remix for those interested.

I had played with version 0.0.1 trying to get it to work with https://www.freeallegiance.org/, but ran into issues. I'm glad to see they are improving the documentation. I'll have to try it out again.

You might want to check out what Nvidia is doing with RTX Remix -

This only works with games using certain versions of DirectX. Portal RTX was made with Remix. https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/rtx-remix/

Porsche Unleashed is also one of my favorites and there hasn’t been anything like it since then. I wish someone would work on a RTX Remix mod for it in the future.

Shown is RTX Remix v0.2. Still not the full release so we still have to just "wait and see" until then. Pretty impressive what it's able to do without modifying any of the original code.

As for the modder who has access to jack shit, my brother in christ, RTX Remix, the custom DXVK wrapper it comes with and the Bridge are all open fucking source and are on GitHub for anyone to look into, compile, improve, do with as they wish.

The Github issue I opened is here: https://github.com/NVIDIAGameWorks/rtx-remix/issues/159 just for reference. You can see some issues I was having. Some of the problems were due to incorrect settings, I'm sure.
