Here's Johnny! - JohnnyJohnnyBS
In this instalment of our Mod Author Interview series, we're talking to [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/users/62429686]JohnnyJohnnyBS [/url]about his modding projects for Blade & Sorcery, including the exciting new multiplayer mod.
[b]Thank you for joining us JohnnyJohnnyBS, why don't you start by telling us a little bit about yourself?
[/b]
Thank you for allowing me to join you, I'm very excited to be here and to answer your wonderful questions.
Well, I'm not exactly the most interesting person. I'm 14 at the moment, my name is Joseph and I live in England. I've got a few years of experience now making mods and working on other things related to games and I'm just having fun here modding.
[b]Which game(s) would you say truly made you a gamer?
[/b]
That's a very hard choice, games have always been a part of my life but I believe where I really got hooked was when I got my first PC game, Minecraft. I'm sure nearly everyone knows what this game is but for anyone who doesn't, you are in a world where everything is made of blocks and your goals are to survive and build. This game is a lot of fun and it was one of the first games I discovered modding with.
Minecraft has a ton of great mods and was my first interaction with modding which was honestly great fun and inspired me a lot. I played it so much, it really was the first game I truly loved.
[b]You've been a part of the Nexus Mods community since we started hosting Blade & Sorcery mods back in December 2018, making you one of the first modders for the game. What was it about Blade & Sorcery that really captured your imagination?
[/b]
Since I first played it, Blade & Sorcery has been a great game for modding. Modders started with the ability to simply change a bunch of the values that affect how game works, but this soon evolved into adding new weapons and so much more. You can change pretty much everything about it. This really drew me in as it allowed for a lot of freedom for the modders.
The most inspiring thing for me was seeing other modders making great things, while there weren't many of us back then, they really were great people and some of the best modders I've seen. Seeing them creating great things made me want to just get in on the fun.
[b]The mainstream appeal of VR games is something people often disagree on. We've seen games like Half Life: Alyx recently which have given VR games more of a spotlight, but others feel it will always be a niche. What are your thoughts on VR gaming and it's future in the industry?
[/b]
I believe Half Life: Alyx is just the start for big, mainstream games for VR and for the entire VR industry. We've already seen smaller games that have blown up and done extremely well such as BeatSaber and Boneworks, both are these I think you can objectively say were pretty revolutionary at the time (whether or not you like them) and we've been on an upward curve for these games since. Now with Half Life: Alyx, it got a lot of positive attention, so I believe we'll see a lot more big games like that in the future and make VR much less of a niche.

[b]Looking at the mods you've shared, there is a wide variety of cool stuff. Which ones are your favourites?
[/b]
Oo... this is a hard choice as there's quite a few I've used a lot. I'd say the most fun I've had with a mod will definitely be Multiplayer, the testers and I have had loads of fun just playing around with it. Other than that, there's also all of my gun mods, I've made quite a few of these and had lots of fun using and making them.
If I have to choose one though, it would definitely be Multiplayer, even in the early stages of testing we got around 8 or so people on and just messed about, it was very buggy at the start but we could still see each other and just laugh about.
[b]What about mod from other authors, are there any that are "must-haves" for you?
[/b]
Oh my there's many but I'll try to narrow it down (These aren't in any particular order):
First of all, I can't not include [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/bladeandsorcery/mods/528]The Outer Rim by Kingo64[/url]. It's the biggest mod for the game and has provided me with a lot of fun. Whether it's messing about in Multiplayer with lightsabers or just using them solo to destroying waves and waves of enemies, this mod is amazingly well made and super fun to use.
Secondly, we have [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/bladeandsorcery/mods/9]Electrical by Oli8t[/url], this mod gives you a bunch more electricity-based powers such as being able to throw electrified punches, charge your held weapons and tons more. This mod has been around since basically the start of true modding for B&S and it's still working to this day. It's a great mod and adds a lot to what you can do with the single lightning spell in the base game at the moment.
[b]You recently uploaded "[url=https://www.nexusmods.com/bladeandsorcery/mods/1756]Johnny's Multiplayer Beta[/url]" which allows you to play Blade & Sorcery with your friends, I think you'll agree this is a big deal. Can you tell us more about the mod, how it works and what your future plans for it are?
[/b]
The mod is still very much a work in progress, I still want to improve it and make it more like the multiplayer experience people would expect. It currently works by every player (client) sending the position of their items, head and hands to the server. The server will then send all of the received data to the other players which will interpret that by putting a banana head in the head place, a ball in the hand places and items where the items are.
I am currently waiting for U8 to come out to do any further development on enemy syncing and full player models but I have been working on quite a large security update which will prevent people from exploiting the way everything works and "cheating". I'm not gonna go into details on how this works as it could help bypass it but there is some basic encryption on the packets sent from client to server and server to client now which wasn't included before.

[b]Is there a story behind the floating banana head you're using in the beta version?
[/b]
Haha the bananas, yes there is sort of. Originally we had floating balls for the heads as well. This worked but you couldn't see the orientation of it very well and it sort of depersonalised them. One of my friends ([url=https://www.nexusmods.com/bladeandsorcery/users/31388535]ButtersAndSorcery[/url]) was working on a game at the time and he had this banana character in it called Carl, he suggested that we put him in the mod. He quickly chopped Carl's head off into a new object and sent it over to me. We thought it was great for a temporary head model until we get proper player models and it adds a bit of character to everyone in our opinion.
[b]With Blade & Sorcery still in active development and Update 8 getting closer by the day, what are you most excited about for the future of the game?
[/b]
Whilst I'm super excited for U8 and the features it will bring and just how great it looks. What I'm really looking forward to is the modding that will come from it. The update is going to add a proper magic framework to use and that should allow the community to make some great spells. Hopefully, we'll even see a bit of a boom in modding when U8 comes out and attract some new modders with fresh ideas for cool mods.
For the general future of the game, I'm really excited to see where WarpFrog takes it. We've seen in previous updates that modding will continue to be expanded, allowing us to make even more types of mod and making the whole process easier. I can't wait to see how the game turns out let's say, a year.

[b]For a new modder who would like to try their hand at making a mod for Blade & Sorcery, do you have any advice on where to start?
[/b]
I would recommend joining the [url=https://discord.gg/bladeandsorcery]official Blade & Sorcery Discord server[/url], the community there is great and there's a lot of modders who will help you out with getting started. There's a modding-howto channel as well which has a bunch of resources for new users to quickly learn the basics.
[b]Is there anything else you'd like to say to the Nexus Mods community?
[/b]
I'd like to say thank you! Thank you for downloading mods, making mods and just generally being there. Nexus is a great tool for me and other modders to use for sharing our mods, getting bug reports and doing just about anything related to the release of mods. So thank you.

Stay Home. Make Mods. - Final Week Wrap-up
Our Stay Home. Make Mods. event has now come to close, I hope you all enjoyed it as much as we did. In Week 4 (27th April - 3rd May) we saw [b]310[/b] entries - a new high! There were also new records set in the number of authors taking part ([b]246[/b]) and the number of different games we saw mods from ([b]69[/b]). Thank you all! We'd love to hear your thoughts on this event so please check out the survey towards the bottom of this article.
This was a very strong week for Bethesda titles, with Skyrim and Skyrim Special Edition making up the largest shares. Overall however, Bannerlord still comes out on top with 17.4% of the 1,221 entries across the entire event.
[size=4][b]Highlights[/b] [/size]
Here are my "stand out" mods for the final week of the event, the list of winners can be found at the bottom of the article.
[url=https://www.nexusmods.com/mountandblade2bannerlord/mods/1136]Responsive Soldiers[/url] - [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/mountandblade2bannerlord/users/28632470]Kahchow[/url] - Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord
[img]https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/3174/images/headers/1136_1588141005.jpg[/img]
[quote]Makes your troops verbally respond when given orders. No more awkward silent charges![/quote]Do you find it a little awkward that your armies follow your commands silently in Bannerlord? Well look no further than this mod. Your units will now respond to move orders and the command to charge for a far more immersive combat experience.
[url=https://www.nexusmods.com/starwarsjedifallenorder/mods/111]Darth Maul - Shadow Hunter - [/url][url=https://www.nexusmods.com/starwarsjedifallenorder/users/86430143]AlexPo21[/url] - Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order[img]https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/3061/images/headers/111_1588222742.jpg[/img]
[quote]This mod reshapes and textures Cal's head and eyes to look like Darth Maul (horns included).[/quote] When this mod popped up as an entry, I initially thought it was for [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/starwarsbattlefront22017]Star Wars Battlefront II (2017)[/url]. So I was really impressed when I realised it was actually for the recent Jedi: Fallen Order title. This is a great recreation of one of the coolest characters from the prequel trilogy and a fitting mod for Star Wars Day (yesterday).

[quote]A spacious canyon map with narrow bridges and a spiky pit of death. Comes with sniper enemy waves.[/quote]This new map mod for Blade & Sorcery is a spacious arena with lots of opportunities for both close quarters and long range combat. Watch your step though or you may end up skewered on the spikes below.
[url=https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/35464]A Guiding Light - Clairvoyance Reimagined[/url] - [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/users/39501725]Parapets[/url] - Skyrim Special Edition
[img]https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/1704/images/headers/35464_1588419724.png[/img]
[quote]Replaces Clairvoyance with a more convenient and immersive spell to help you find your way.[/quote]Clairvoyance is an early game spell I often forget I have while playing Skyrim. I do remember using it pretty heavily in first ever play-through on the Xbox 360, but not so much in more recent games. The replacement spell added by this mod summons a friendly Wisp to guide you, rather the the magical line of the original spell. I find this much better for immersion as it makes more sense that you summon a magic creature that knows the way, rather the just somehow being able to highlight the correct path. I can see this being very useful if you play without using the map or quest markers.

[img]https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/1155/images/headers/475_1588015529.jpg[/img]
[quote]Created with original HullPlates in mind. Should load the old Hull Plates just fine.[/quote]While quite basic as mods go, I had a quite bit of fun playing around with the original CustomHullPlates mod before the game update earlier this year caused it to stop working. It's great to see the community picking up old favourites and breathing new life into them. Next time I play Subnautica this will definitely be on my list.

Don't forget you can also earn rewards by opting your mods in to our [url=https://help.nexusmods.com/article/112-donation-points-faq]Donation Points[/url] system!
Thank you again to everyone who took part and made this event possible. I hope you all stay safe and well for the remainder of the self isolation period.
Stay Home. Make Mods.
This was a very strong week for Bethesda titles, with Skyrim and Skyrim Special Edition making up the largest shares. Overall however, Bannerlord still comes out on top with 17.4% of the 1,221 entries across the entire event.
[size=4][b]Highlights[/b] [/size]
Here are my "stand out" mods for the final week of the event, the list of winners can be found at the bottom of the article.
[url=https://www.nexusmods.com/mountandblade2bannerlord/mods/1136]Responsive Soldiers[/url] - [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/mountandblade2bannerlord/users/28632470]Kahchow[/url] - Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord
[img]https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/3174/images/headers/1136_1588141005.jpg[/img]
[quote]Makes your troops verbally respond when given orders. No more awkward silent charges![/quote]Do you find it a little awkward that your armies follow your commands silently in Bannerlord? Well look no further than this mod. Your units will now respond to move orders and the command to charge for a far more immersive combat experience.
[url=https://www.nexusmods.com/starwarsjedifallenorder/mods/111]Darth Maul - Shadow Hunter - [/url][url=https://www.nexusmods.com/starwarsjedifallenorder/users/86430143]AlexPo21[/url] - Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order[img]https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/3061/images/headers/111_1588222742.jpg[/img]
[quote]This mod reshapes and textures Cal's head and eyes to look like Darth Maul (horns included).[/quote] When this mod popped up as an entry, I initially thought it was for [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/starwarsbattlefront22017]Star Wars Battlefront II (2017)[/url]. So I was really impressed when I realised it was actually for the recent Jedi: Fallen Order title. This is a great recreation of one of the coolest characters from the prequel trilogy and a fitting mod for Star Wars Day (yesterday).
[url=https://www.nexusmods.com/bladeandsorcery/mods/1677]Canyon of Thorns - [/url][url=https://www.nexusmods.com/bladeandsorcery/users/131786]Sushin[/url] - Blade & Sorcery[img]https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/2673/images/headers/1677_1587969186.jpg[/img]
[quote]A spacious canyon map with narrow bridges and a spiky pit of death. Comes with sniper enemy waves.[/quote]This new map mod for Blade & Sorcery is a spacious arena with lots of opportunities for both close quarters and long range combat. Watch your step though or you may end up skewered on the spikes below.
[url=https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/35464]A Guiding Light - Clairvoyance Reimagined[/url] - [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/users/39501725]Parapets[/url] - Skyrim Special Edition
[img]https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/1704/images/headers/35464_1588419724.png[/img]
[quote]Replaces Clairvoyance with a more convenient and immersive spell to help you find your way.[/quote]Clairvoyance is an early game spell I often forget I have while playing Skyrim. I do remember using it pretty heavily in first ever play-through on the Xbox 360, but not so much in more recent games. The replacement spell added by this mod summons a friendly Wisp to guide you, rather the the magical line of the original spell. I find this much better for immersion as it makes more sense that you summon a magic creature that knows the way, rather the just somehow being able to highlight the correct path. I can see this being very useful if you play without using the map or quest markers.
[url=https://nexusmods.com/subnautica/mods/475]CustomHullPlates 2[/url] - [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/subnautica/users/71927478]MrPurple6411[/url] - Subnautica
[img]https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/1155/images/headers/475_1588015529.jpg[/img]
[quote]Created with original HullPlates in mind. Should load the old Hull Plates just fine.[/quote]While quite basic as mods go, I had a quite bit of fun playing around with the original CustomHullPlates mod before the game update earlier this year caused it to stop working. It's great to see the community picking up old favourites and breathing new life into them. Next time I play Subnautica this will definitely be on my list.

If the mere thought of having Dunmer shout "N'wah" in your face, or being called "scum" by the lovely Ordinators is giving you nostalgic pangs, then it's time to dust off that copy of Morrowind, grab some mods, and dive into one of the best RPGs of all time.

[quote]Today I'm pleased to announce the sixth Morrowind May Modathon Month Modding Competition, one of the biggest annual modding competitions in the gaming community, will be returning on May 1st! Celebrating Morrowind's 18th anniversary, this year's Modathon Modding Competition will once again be running throughout the entire month of May, and participating Morrowind mods will again have a chance to unlock sweet achievements, win prizes, and compete with their fellow modders to become the ultimate modding champions of 2020!
Last year was one of the biggest years in the history of Morrowind, with over 1000 mods released in 2019, and 240 of those released for the 2019 Modathon, and this year we're hoping to beat that record! We have over 70 achievements for modders to unlock, for everything from building an epic dungeon, to fixing Morrowind's animations, replacing the game's graphics, and of course there's a ton of hidden achievements and much more for you to discover! Unlock as many as you can!
Participation is simple, any Morrowind mod released in May can be entered into the competition, just remember to include a tagline "Part of the May Modathon Month" near the top of your mod's description, or use the Modathon 2020 tag to enter your mod as part of the competition. You'll be automatically entered to potentially win one of our weekly random-drawing prizes, and of course unlock achievements!
Mod your way to fame and glory in the biggest modding event of the year, and help celebrate one of the greatest games ever made! The best games never die, so get out there, have fun, and build a ton of mods to make this great game even better than ever before!
The competition runs from May 1st through to June 1st, and you can find out more about how to participate, along with a complete list of achievements, [url=https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/8650243-morrowind-may-modathon-month-2020-celebrating-18-years-of-morrowind//]over on the official announcement thread[/url]!

Stay tuned for the first [b]Morrowind Summer Modjam[/b] coming soon:

[quote]Coming this summer, we're hosting the first Morrowind Summer Modjam, a 48-hour modding competition where modders have just one weekend to come up with, design, and release the best mod they can before time runs out! The Summer Modjam starts the weekend of July 11th-12th, with random-drawing prizes and badges that participating modders can unlock, and much more! We'll be revealing more information about the Modjam as July gets closer, so stay tuned!

If that sounds more like your, uh, jam - then keep your eyes peeled for the announcement later this summer.
But for now, we hope that all of you are staying safe, that you enjoyed our last ([url=https://www.nexusmods.com/news/14248]still ongoing[/url]) "Stay Home. Make Mods." event, and that you'll enjoy this year's Morrowind Modathon as much as in the last few years.
Best of luck to all participants and happy modding!

[quote]Coming this summer, we're hosting the first Morrowind Summer Modjam, a 48-hour modding competition where modders have just one weekend to come up with, design, and release the best mod they can before time runs out! The Summer Modjam starts the weekend of July 11th-12th, with random-drawing prizes and badges that participating modders can unlock, and much more! We'll be revealing more information about the Modjam as July gets closer, so stay tuned!

If that sounds more like your, uh, jam - then keep your eyes peeled for the announcement later this summer.
But for now, we hope that all of you are staying safe, that you enjoyed our last ([url=https://www.nexusmods.com/news/14248]still ongoing[/url]) "Stay Home. Make Mods." event, and that you'll enjoy this year's Morrowind Modathon as much as in the last few years.
Best of luck to all participants and happy modding!
Stay Home. Make Mods. - Week 3 Wrap-up
We're now three quarters of the way through our Stay Home. Make Mods. event and I'm happy to see so many mod authors have been sharing their content. In Week 3 (20th - 26th April) we had [b]259 [/b]entries from [b]230 [/b]author across [b]48 [/b]games. Overall we saw 1301 mods shared in total, which is the highest since we started this event. Keep adding the "Stay Home. Make Mods." tag to your mods for you chance to win in this, our final week.
Once again, Bannerlord dominated making up just under a quarter of the entries. Monster Hunter World and Stardew Valley also continued to eat into the share for the Bethesda titles, so it'll be interesting to see how things turn out for the last week of the event.
[size=4][b]Highlights[/b] [/size]
I've selected a few of my personal highlights from the entries into Week 3, the list of winners can be found at the bottom of the article.
[url=https://nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/68714]FNV Mod Limit Fix[/url] - [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/users/87803783]iranrmrf[/url] Fallout New Vegas
[img]https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/130/images/headers/68714_1587582703.png[/img]
[quote]This plugin fixes the Fallout New Vegas mod limit bug. It allows a maximum of 255 plugins to be loaded. It can also cause an increase in fps, remove game stutter and allow for faster loading times especially when using a large number of mods.[/quote]While this may sound like a fairly simple fix, it's actually a huge deal for the Fallout New Vegas community. The game was released with a strange quirk that was never officially addressed during it's development cycle and caused some mods to stop working or mod assets to fail to load at around 120 mods. This fix will allow you to mod New Vegas more extensively than ever before and comes with a nice little performance boost to boot! You can also check out the versions of this fix for [url=https://nexusmods.com/fallout3/mods/24056]Fallout 3[/url] and [url=https://nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/50066]Oblivion[/url] which use the same engine.

[img]https://i.imgur.com/R2hkGKf.jpg[/img]
[quote]Do you like swinging around with a grappling hook? Well, then you need Argan Industries' lastest invention, the Bond Wire! Attach to any surface and swing like a mad man. Instructions in the detailed description.[/quote] This is actually the second mod by Ebediam to be featured in our wrap up posts. It's pretty impressive how they can create such interesting mods so fast! While this mod is described as a grappling hook I prefer to think of it as a Spiderman web slinger (watch the video to see what I mean). This looks like a lot of fun provided you don't get motion sick easily and aren't afraid of heights.

[quote]An underground hot spring farm cave with waterfalls, lush vegetation, and patches to plant crops.[/quote]This Stardew Valley mod adds a cozy cave with natural hot springs for your farmer to relax in after a hard day. It also includes patches for planting crops and lush vegetation.

[img]https://i.imgur.com/BdZPGGU.jpg[/img]
[quote]This mod makes combat more realistic. Armored units are more resistant to damage. Each weapon type has different effect vs armor. All units defend themselves more, units with shields actually use the shields. All projectile now cause damage based on their velocity. Velocity of arrows, bolts and javelins is now historically accurate. Longer battles.[/quote]I'm still really bad at playing Bannerlord, but it's great to see mods like this popping up for when I "git gud". This mod makes units behave more intelligently and provides a better level of challenge which may lead to longer and more intense battles.

[quote]Firefight Zombie, the zombies are strong brutes and have only melee weapons. You have to be strategic and manage your displacements to stay close enough to deal important damage but not to close to be overwhelmed by the horde.[/quote]Halo Reach is already a pretty great game, so adding a zombie mode will just make it even better. How long can you hold out against waves of bloodthirsty Brutes and Hunters?

What's new in Vortex 1.2?
Since we last checked in [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/news/14168]back in November[/url], Tannin and Nagev have been hard at work fixing bugs and adding new features to Vortex based on your feedback. We've just released Vortex 1.2 into the wild for you all to enjoy, so here's a round-up of what's new.
[size=4]Updates for modders[/size]
[b]Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord support[/b]
The wait is finally over! Bannerlord is here and it's great. We were lucky enough to get access to the Bannerlord beta (thanks TaleWorlds!) a short time before the Early Access release and created a basic Vortex extension for it. In v1.2 we've further refined it to include a fully featured load order tab where you can reorder, sort and toggle all your installed modules. Vortex will now also open the game in single player by default, instead of opening the launcher.

[img]https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/2295/images/26/26-1587552652-955578048.jpeg[/img]
[b]Halo: The Master Chief Collection Support
[/b]
You can now install your mods for Halo: The Master Chief Collection through Vortex. All mods packaged relative to the root game folder will be automatically compatible, we have been reaching out to authors ahead of this release to ask them to ensure their mods are packed in a Vortex friendly way. Map mods will show an icon indicating which Halo title they're intended for and you can group your mods by this property. We've also added a shortcut to Assembly to the dashboard for those who use the map patches. Let us know what you think!

[b]Wolcen: Lord of Mayhem support
[/b]
Another new addition to our lineup is support for Wolcen. With Vortex you can install and manage the priority of conflicting XMLs, Vortex will then merge them in order and deploy the combined file to your game.
[img]https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/2295/images/26/26-1587567422-587316573.jpeg[/img]
[b]The Witcher 3 enhancements
[/b]
After "The Witcher" landed on Netflix, we saw a dramatic increase in users modding Witcher 3. The community provided some excellent feedback on areas of Vortex that could be improved for a better user experience. As a result, we've added load order management for Witcher 3 as well as closer integration with the [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/484]Witcher 3 Script Merger[/url] by AnotherSymbiote. This allows you to easily create the load order you want, take care of conflicts, and merge script changes from several mods.

[img]https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/2295/images/26/26-1587564841-1027184758.jpeg[/img]
[b]Stardew Valley enhancements
[/b]Based on the super helpful reports from the community, we've further improved Vortex support for Stardew Valley. Something that's been in the works for a while now. The most reported problem was how Vortex handled new files created by mods while the game was running. We've put a system in place that looks at new files in your mods folder and associates them with the correct mod so that they will be removed properly if the mod is disabled or uninstalled. This should prevent the harmless (but annoying) errors in the SMAPI log.
You will also be able to install and update SMAPI directly inside Vortex like any other mod, which makes keeping this vital file updated or toggling between the current and beta versions easier than ever.

[img]https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/2295/images/26/26-1587563701-86241142.jpeg[/img]
[b]Monster Hunter World enhancements
[/b]
In the recent Vortex releases, we made significant improvements to this extension already. Including detection and installation of [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterworld/mods/1982]Stracker's Loader[/url] and the ability to install and manage ReShade Presets. Version 1.2 features some additional refinements to preset detection and some handy shortcuts on the dashboard for [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterworld/mods/2645]HunterPie[/url], [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterworld/mods/43]MHW Transmog [/url]and [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterworld/mods/2556]SmartHunter Overlay[/url].

[img]https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/2295/images/26/26-1587045898-191005827.jpeg[/img]
[b]Game extension updates are now delivered much faster[/b]
It's been the case up until now that important bug fixes for game support had to wait until the next full Vortex release, we felt that this wasn't a great experience for users. In version 1.2 and above if a game extension is updated to include an important fix you'll get the update next time you restart Vortex.
[img]https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/2295/images/26/26-1587565696-910242066.jpeg[/img]
[b]Resizable Dashlets
[/b]
You can now right-click any dashlet to adjust the width and height to suit your personal tastes.The close button has also been moved into this menu to prevent it being clicked by accident.

[b]Vortex now supports over 100 games!
[/b]
On top of the new games we officially support, the awesome developers in the community have created a bunch of new game extensions including:

To help you show your appreciation to the extension authors, a new dashlet has been added to showcase new uploads and remind users to endorse the ones they have already installed. Roll on 200 games!
[line]
[size=4]Updates for developers
[/size]
[b]Simplified game detection
[/b]
We've made it easier for Vortex to find games from several of the popular game stores. The new GameStoreHelper class can easily detect games installed with Steam, GOG, Epic, UPlay, Origin or the Windows Store. The example below will check for both the Steam and Windows Store app IDs, then return the installation path for the game.
[img]https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/2295/images/26/26-1585226528-544335971.jpeg[/img]
This function can also be extended by the community to include more game sources.
Documentation (Coming soon) | [url=https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/vortex-games/blob/6b6de897cba1ecf2566d2be7844fb2b0e6059f21/game-masterchiefcollection/index.js#L137]Example[/url]
[b]Improved support for Vortex Mod Loader
[/b]
In 1.1 we released the initial version of our Vortex Mod Loader (powered by Harmony). We've since made refinements to allow the mod patches to be applied to and removed from the game assemblies as part of Vortex's deploy and purge events. Users can now expect their game to be fully reverted to its vanilla state when purging their mods. Harmony extensions can also take advantage of a load ordering page (if required). We're also working on some enhancements to the Vortex In-Game Overlay (aka VIGO) to make it even more powerful for extension developers.
[url=https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/harmony-patcher/wiki]Documentation [/url]| [url=https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/vortex-games/tree/master/game-untitledgoose]Example[/url]
[b]Mod Load Order Page[/b]
Several Vortex extensions utilise a page which allows users to adjust the priority of mods based on a load ordering system independent of file conflicts. Instead of requiring developers to build this from scratch each time, we've included a handy function as part of the context object to register a simple Load Order page for your game and offers several customisation options.

[b]Other Changes
[/b]
[list]
[*]Registrations with the API will generate an error if they're not inside the context.once() function when loading the extension rather than silently failing.
[*]Vortex has been updated to run on Electron v8 (from v4) and includes the bug fixes, security enhancements and performance improvements that come with it.

Vortex will now also open the game in single player by default, instead of opening the launcher.

[b]Halo: The Master Chief Collection Support
[/b]
You can now install your mods for Halo: The Master Chief Collection through Vortex. All mods packaged relative to the root game folder will be automatically compatible, we have been reaching out to authors ahead of this release to ask them to ensure their mods are packed in a Vortex friendly way. Map mods will show an icon indicating which Halo title they're intended for and you can group your mods by this property. We've also added a shortcut to Assembly to the dashboard for those who use the map patches. Let us know what you think!

[b]Wolcen: Lord of Mayhem support
[/b]
Another new addition to our lineup is support for Wolcen. With Vortex you can install and manage the priority of conflicting XMLs, Vortex will then merge them in order and deploy the combined file to your game.

[b]The Witcher 3 enhancements
[/b]
After "The Witcher" landed on Netflix, we saw a dramatic increase in users modding Witcher 3. The community provided some excellent feedback on areas of Vortex that could be improved for a better user experience. As a result, we've added load order management for Witcher 3 as well as closer integration with the [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/witcher3/mods/484]Witcher 3 Script Merger[/url] by AnotherSymbiote. This allows you to easily create the load order you want, take care of conflicts, and merge script changes from several mods.

[b]Stardew Valley enhancements
[/b]Based on the super helpful reports from the community, we've further improved Vortex support for Stardew Valley. Something that's been in the works for a while now. The most reported problem was how Vortex handled new files created by mods while the game was running. We've put a system in place that looks at new files in your mods folder and associates them with the correct mod so that they will be removed properly if the mod is disabled or uninstalled. This should prevent the harmless (but annoying) errors in the SMAPI log.
You will also be able to install and update SMAPI directly inside Vortex like any other mod, which makes keeping this vital file updated or toggling between the current and beta versions easier than ever.

[img]https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/2295/images/26/26-1587563701-86241142.jpeg[/img]
[b]Monster Hunter World enhancements
[/b]
In the recent Vortex releases, we made significant improvements to this extension already. Including detection and installation of [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterworld/mods/1982]Stracker's Loader[/url] and the ability to install and manage ReShade Presets. Version 1.2 features some additional refinements to preset detection and some handy shortcuts on the dashboard for [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterworld/mods/2645]HunterPie[/url], [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterworld/mods/43]MHW Transmog [/url]and [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterworld/mods/2556]SmartHunter Overlay[/url].

[b]Game extension updates are now delivered much faster[/b]
It's been the case up until now that important bug fixes for game support had to wait until the next full Vortex release, we felt that this wasn't a great experience for users. In version 1.2 and above if a game extension is updated to include an important fix you'll get the update next time you restart Vortex.

[b]Resizable Dashlets

You can now right-click any dashlet to adjust the width and height to suit your personal tastes.The close button has also been moved into this menu to prevent it being clicked by accident.

[b]Vortex now supports over 100 games!
[/b]
On top of the new games we officially support, the awesome developers in the community have created a bunch of new game extensions including:

To help you show your appreciation to the extension authors, a new dashlet has been added to showcase new uploads and remind users to endorse the ones they have already installed. Roll on 200 games!
[line]
[size=4]Updates for developers
[/size]
[b]Simplified game detection
[/b]
We've made it easier for Vortex to find games from several of the popular game stores. The new GameStoreHelper class can easily detect games installed with Steam, GOG, Epic, UPlay, Origin or the Windows Store. The example below will check for both the Steam and Windows Store app IDs, then return the installation path for the game.
[img]https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/2295/images/26/26-1585226528-544335971.jpeg[/img]
This function can also be extended by the community to include more game sources.

[b]Improved support for Vortex Mod Loader
[/b]
In 1.1 we released the initial version of our Vortex Mod Loader (powered by Harmony). We've since made refinements to allow the mod patches to be applied to and removed from the game assemblies as part of Vortex's deploy and purge events. Users can now expect their game to be fully reverted to its vanilla state when purging their mods. Harmony extensions can also take advantage of a load ordering page (if required). We're also working on some enhancements to the Vortex In-Game Overlay (aka VIGO) to make it even more powerful for extension developers.
[url=https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/harmony-patcher/wiki]Documentation [/url]| [url=https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/vortex-games/tree/master/game-untitledgoose]Example[/url]
[b]Mod Load Order Page[/b]
Several Vortex extensions utilise a page which allows users to adjust the priority of mods based on a load ordering system independent of file conflicts. Instead of requiring developers to build this from scratch each time, we've included a handy function as part of the context object to register a simple Load Order page for your game and offers several customisation options.

[b]Other Changes
[/b]
[list]
[*]Registrations with the API will generate an error if they're not inside the context.once() function when loading the extension rather than silently failing.
[*]Vortex has been updated to run on Electron v8 (from v4) and includes the bug fixes, security enhancements and performance improvements that come with it.

Stay Home. Make Mods. - Week 2 Wrap-up
As we come to the end of the second week (13th - 19th April) of Stay Home. Make Mods. I'm excited to see that 234 of our mod authors have submitted 303 mods across 57 games, up 30 from Week 1. That accounts for ~23% of the 1287 mods shared in total. Make sure you keep tagging your mods until 4th May to be in with a chance to win a prize.
Bannerlord and Skyrim SE dominated again this week with 21% and 14% of the entries respectively. It's nice to see more mods from Fallout New Vegas and Stardew Valley, along with the first entries from The Sims 4, Halo Wars 2, My Summer Car and more.
[size=4][b]Highlights[/b] [/size]
This week I've asked my fellow Community Manager and good friend BigBizkit to pick out a few highlights from Week 2 to share with you all.
BigBizkit: Thanks, Picky <3! Hi all, I hope you're all staying safe for one, and also enjoying our event so far. We're thrilled to see how well it's been received! This week we've again had some amazing mods for Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord which really help to improve the experience. On that note: Picky and I have just recently started our Bannerlord careers, but with both of us being complete Mount & Blade newbies, so far we've pretty much had our butts handed to us... but we'll get there eventually! Anyway, without further ado here are my personal highlights of this week:

[quote]Improves some in-game loot mechanics, such as making lords drop their gear when executed or being able to configure the gear dropped by soldiers in battle. It also allows you to loot dead allies, too![/quote]Better loot is definitely one of the things I'll need to get anywhere in Bannerlord! What I especially love about this mod is how configurable it is. You can boost your loot drops just a little bit, or go all out. Everything can be fine-tuned and tweaked to your liking.

Being able to sort units, easily upgrade them etc. is a time saver that takes away from some of the tedium of an otherwise enticing game!

Stay Home. Make Mods. - Week 1 Wrap-up
Week 1 of Stay Home. Make Mods. concluded on Sunday 12th April and I want to say a huge thank you to all the authors - old and new - who shared mods with the community through this period. We had a whopping [b]273[/b] mods from [b]216[/b] authors across [b]48[/b] games. That was less than 25% of the 1206 mods uploaded during the week, so don't forget to add the "Stay Home. Make Mods." tag to your mods to enter them.
We saw the biggest collections of entries from Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord (18.5%) and Skyrim Special Edition (17.4%) followed by Fallout 4, Skyrim, Monster Hunter: World and Stardew Valley. It's great to see that mod authors for a wide range of games are getting involved.
[size=4][b]Highlights[/b] [/size]
Before I reveal the winners, I'd like to showcase some of the mods you may have missed during Week 1 of the event.
[url=https://nexusmods.com/mountandblade2bannerlord/mods/344]Xorberax's Cut Through Everyone[/url] - [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/mountandblade2bannerlord/users/75222188]Xorberax[/url] - Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

[quote]Allows weapons to cut through multiple units, while considering armor and weapon types.[/quote]If you've been playing Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord this week, there's a very good chance you're already using this mod. "Cut Through Everyone" was the most popular entry by far, with almost twice as many downloads as the next closest mod. It also racked up over 700 endorsements which shows that the community really love this mod!

See if you can find creative ways to combine Ice and Lightning to take down multiple enemies at once! In related news, Blade & Sorcery hit 5 million downloads this month and earned a spot on the [url=https://nexusmods.com]Nexus Mods homepage[/url], overtaking Witcher 2.

[quote]Brought some existing mods together and modified a couples of other values which i personally used for better experience.[/quote] The archery mechanics of Kingdom Come Deliverance were one of my personal pet-peeves - especially coming from being a Skyrim stealth archer - so any mod intended to improve on that is always welcome.

[quote]Play as Moe Syzlak and save Springfield from the mafia who are poisoning Springfield's beer supply with nuclear waste[/quote] The Simpsons: Hit & Run has a special significance to me, as it was one of my favourite games on the PlayStation 2 when I was younger. Seeing the first mods for it being shared on Nexus Mods during the event did get me a little excited, especially when it's a fully fleshed out level with custom voiced characters and a new story!

Stay Home. Make Mods.
We saw the biggest collections of entries from Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord (18.5%) and Skyrim Special Edition (17.4%) followed by Fallout 4, Skyrim, Monster Hunter: World and Stardew Valley. It's great to see that mod authors for a wide range of games are getting involved.
[size=4][b]Highlights[/b] [/size]
Before I reveal the winners, I'd like to showcase some of the mods you may have missed during Week 1 of the event.
[url=https://nexusmods.com/mountandblade2bannerlord/mods/344]Xorberax's Cut Through Everyone[/url] - [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/mountandblade2bannerlord/users/75222188]Xorberax[/url] - Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord

[quote]Allows weapons to cut through multiple units, while considering armor and weapon types.[/quote]If you've been playing Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord this week, there's a very good chance you're already using this mod. "Cut Through Everyone" was the most popular entry by far, with almost twice as many downloads as the next closest mod. It also racked up over 700 endorsements which shows that the community really love this mod!

See if you can find creative ways to combine Ice and Lightning to take down multiple enemies at once! In related news, Blade & Sorcery hit 5 million downloads this month and earned a spot on the [url=https://nexusmods.com]Nexus Mods homepage[/url], overtaking Witcher 2.

[quote]Brought some existing mods together and modified a couples of other values which i personally used for better experience.[/quote] The archery mechanics of Kingdom Come Deliverance were one of my personal pet-peeves - especially coming from being a Skyrim stealth archer - so any mod intended to improve on that is always welcome.

[quote]Play as Moe Syzlak and save Springfield from the mafia who are poisoning Springfield's beer supply with nuclear waste[/quote] The Simpsons: Hit & Run has a special significance to me, as it was one of my favourite games on the PlayStation 2 when I was younger. Seeing the first mods for it being shared on Nexus Mods during the event did get me a little excited, especially when it's a fully fleshed out level with custom voiced characters and a new story!

Monster Hunter: World - Major Update and Interview with Stracker
Ever since the PC release of Monster Hunter: World in August of 2018, we have been amazed to see all the mods and utilities that have been created and released by the Monster Hunter community. This is especially true since the release of the [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1118010/Monster_Hunter_World_Iceborne/]Iceborne DLC[/url] in January of this year, when the number for [url=https://steamcharts.com/app/582010]peak current players on Steam surpassed 280,000[/url] - and that spike in interest was of course also reflected in the amount of new mods being released!
[center][youtube]jPsjaVWMYfI[/youtube][/center]
Today, [b]12th March[/b], Monster Hunter: World is receiving another [url=https://steamcommunity.com/games/582010/announcements/detail/1692724456739431460]major title update[/url] adding new, free content and bringing the PC version further up to date with the consoles. To celebrate this and to shine the spotlight on one of the most vibrant modding communities on our site, we are talking to [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterworld/users/3313485?tab=user+files&BH=0]Stracker[/url], the author of [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterworld/mods/1982]Stracker's Loader[/url] - an essential tool for Monster Hunter: World modding.
[b]BigBizkit: Thanks for joining us today, Stracker![/b]
Stracker: No worries! Thanks for having me.
[b]Monster Hunter: World came out on PC in August 2018 and not only has it become Capcom’s best selling game of all time, it is now one of the biggest games on our site in terms of mods and downloads. In your opinion, what is it about Monster Hunter: World that draws in players and modders alike?[/b]
I think the main draw for players is the gameplay and the world design, fighting the monsters is just very interesting and fun in general. The monsters themselves are just very well designed, both in the way they interact with the world and environment, and in the way you have to fight them. The weapons you fight them with are also all very fun in their own right, I have played and enjoyed playing with all 14 weapon types! I obviously still have my favourites in lance and swag axe though :D
I think that for a modding community to emerge, you need people playing, and you need them playing for a long time. The game pushes that through the variety of ways you can customize your character. Making different builds, making your character look good, both keep the game interesting and give you goals to work towards once you reach endgame. It's also worth noting the element of mastery: the game can get quite challenging and the satisfaction of getting better at handling monsters and your weapons is also an important factor in keeping us hooked.
[center][youtube]-0l0B7NDTAU[/youtube][youtube]pCXYCE5UtXk[/youtube][/center]
[b]You are the creator of [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterworld/mods/1982]Stracker’s Loader[/url] - a tool that is required for nearly all Monster Hunter: World modding. Can you explain what it actually does and why you set out to create it in the first place?[/b]
This one is fairly technical: The game engine that MHW is based on manages its files through big archive 'chunk' files, but through what I imagine must have initially been a debugging/testing feature, it will also read files directly from the 'nativePC' folder first if they are present. This is really useful for modding as it allows us to skip having to rebuild a chunk file every time we want to mod something. In a gambit to combat online cheating, Capcom made an update to that functionality with the release of Iceborne which restricts what type of files are loaded from that folder, only allowing some purely visual modifications. The loader lifts that restriction, and allows the game to load any type of file from that folder again. It also does so seamlessly once installed: the game will be automatically modded when launched, without needing to launch another piece of software or through a different exe file.
The main reason I made this mod is convenience : While it would have been possible to make even non-visual mods through building those 'chunk' files, it would be pretty annoying for mod users and especially modders, requiring a lot more steps to install and/or test mods. I wanted to streamline the process for everyone, myself in particular, and it was an area of modding I was already familiar with from the Quest Loader, so I set out to make the loader.
[b]The modding community for Monster Hunter: World is going strong and we have seen a vast variety of mods ranging from useful utilities such as [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterworld/mods/2645]HunterPie[/url] and [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterworld/mods/2556]SmartHunter[/url], to quality of life mods, graphical improvements, as well as [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterworld/mods/12]more humorous mods[/url]. On that note: what are some of your favourite MHW mods?[/b]
I am personally most fond of mods that integrate and mesh well with the existing game, and improve upon it in discreet ways. Quality of Life mods like [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterworld/mods/112]Souvenir's Light Pillar[/url] or [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterworld/mods/188]Extra NPCs in gathering hubs[/url], or subtle visual changes like [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterworld/mods/2036]Blood efx[/url] are good examples. Beyond that I like mods which give me more Monster Hunter: new content, new quests. The [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterworld/mods/1880]Christmas Modpack[/url] for example was impressive on so many levels! Shoutout to [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterworld/mods/43]transmog mods[/url] as well, without those I'd have a lot less variety in making a cool looking character!
[b]With the release of the Iceborne DLC in January of this year, we have seen a massive surge of MHW players on Steam, as well as many new mods being uploaded. What did you think about all the new content provided by the DLC in particular and have you been using any new mods?[/b]
Iceborne has been phenomenal, content wise. Nearly all of the new monsters were just more of what I loved in the vanilla game, the new areas fit very well within the game, and I have enjoyed the weapon changes they made a lot. I had high expectations of the expansion, and they absolutely were matched. There hasn't been any major new mod I'm interested for Iceborne so far, but I have a few QoL tweaks installed, like the [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterworld/mods/1986]Guilding Lands Gathering Indicator[/url], or my own loader plugins.
[center][img]https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/110/images/93729/93729-1583766067-1861871603.jpeg[/img][/center]
[b]For the base game, Capcom had added various updates including [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FHsXDgZV12k]an entire questline featuring Geralt from The Witcher 3[/url]. Iceborne has so far received and will be receiving a similar treatment in the future with many different free mini-DLCs being scheduled for every month until at least June. Today, 12th March, a major update is being released and PC players will get to fight Stygian Zinogre, explore the new Guilding Lands Tundra region, as well as play the Safi'jiiva siege only console players got to enjoy thus far. What are your thoughts on this new update and Capcom’s update roadmap for the future?[/b]
Having impatiently bought the console version of Iceborne when it released, I have already played with the new monsters coming, and both are a treat to fight ! The tundra region completes the guiding lands nicely as well, with the near entire monster roster being huntable in there now. My only gripe would be that the new Safi'jiva weapons are a bit too powerful and kind of overcentralizing, but I'm sure the community will find a way around that one.
I'm not not sure what to expect of the stuff Capcom has in store next though, though I'm definitely curious to see what the 'fan-favorite' monster coming in April is, and to finally be on the same schedule as console releases!
[b]How did you personally get into Monster Hunter: World and what motivated you to explore the modding side of it on top of that?[/b]
I came to Monster Hunter as a fan of the Dark Souls series, at a glance it looked like i'd be right at home with big monsters and technical, commitment-based gameplay. I tried a couple times to get into the series with previous entries, but couldn't get past the clunkiness of the old games. I was pretty intrigued to see how I would like the streamlined and modernised Monster Hunter: World and it hooked me big time!
While I did very quickly install some QoL mods, I didn't actually start modding myself until pretty late into the game, during the wait for Iceborne. Reading a discussion about how Legiana and Rathian (and several others) actually had the same animating skeletons beneath, I wanted to see if I could make Rathian do a "Legiana flip". This led me into quite a rabbit hole in the game's modding research community, where I started helping with stuff I felt interested in, usually through analysis of game files and/or code, and making tools to work with them.
[i][center]Did you know? A Monster Hunter movie is being made that is due for release in September 2020![/center][/i]
[center][youtube]t4_2iZz7e6M[/youtube][/center]
[b]How did you learn how to mod Monster Hunter: World and are there any other mod authors in the community that you found/find inspiring?[/b]
I initially leveraged my general programming and computer knowledge, as well as some research into some hacking techniques, to dig directly into the game's code and slowly map out notable sections of it. The fact that I arrived pretty late into the base game's scene meant there was already quite a lot of resources I could use as reference points, which made things quite a bit easier. I used this knowledge both to understand how the game reads some of the files and understand their format, as well as knowing where exactly to insert custom code so I can modify the game in a way I want.
[url=https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterworld/users/50474981?tab=user+files]Fandirus' custom monsters[/url] (especially the [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterworld/mods/1533]stories mod[/url]) are without a doubt the most impressive mods I know of, and what inspired me to make the first quest loader. I hope to see more mods like those in the future!
[b]What other games do you like to play and do you have any hobbies outside of modding and gaming?[/b]
While I generally have a pretty broad taste in gaming, I do gravitate towards challenging Action-RPGs. I'm a huge fan of the Dark souls series, and regularly come back to Path of Exile, for example. Outside of gaming, it's hard to pinpoint anything in particular. I started doing some tabletop roleplaying recently, I like reading a bit of Fantasy/SF, and I do like to spend some time furthering my developer skills when I'm inspired in one way or another.
[b]Is there anything else you would like to say to the community?[/b]
Ah man I never quite know how to answer that kind of question. Enjoy the game, enjoy the mods, and don't use cheat-y mods with randoms online, I guess!

Modder to Developer - muppetpuppet
Today we have a special treat. We caught up with Tomas Sala, a.k.a. the esteemed Skyrim modder muppetpuppet, about his upcoming game release and his history in modding. For those unfamiliar with his work, muppetpuppet created one of the first "new world" mods for Skyrim back in 2012 - Moonpath to Elsweyr.
[b][b]Thank you for joining us for this interview Tomas (aka [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/users/3232189]muppetpuppet[/url]). [/b]So, going back to the very start, when and how did you first get into gaming?[/b]
I actually started straight out of art school in 2001, we started a studio in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. But at that time there was no self-publishing, I think Steam wasn't live yet and iPhones would be years away. So we rolled into educational and advertising work for hire, making games for anyone and everyone, it took many years to progress into entertainment games properly eventually creating PSVR exclusives for Playstation as games for the Wii, Switch and mobile.
[b]How long have you been working in the gaming industry and what roles have you taken up during that time?[/b]
I've been working there since 2001 and have always been a multirole person. I'm a 3D artist by trade, but I'm more than handy with a scripting language and nowadays C#. I've also been creative director and game designer over the years. I think that diversity is now coming into its own with The Falconeer.
[b]
Tomas is the sole developer of the upcoming game "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1135260/The_Falconeer/]The Falconeer[/url]". From the screenshots and gameplay videos, it looks fantastic. For our readers who've not heard of the game, how would you describe it?[/b]
Well, it's a throwback to the games I loved as a kid, [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freelancer_(video_game)]Freelancer[/url], [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars:_TIE_Fighter]Tie Fighter[/url] even [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crimson_Skies_(video_game)]Crimson Skies[/url], and - of course - a good dose of open-world love inherited from Skyrim thrown in. So basically, you are a pilot or rider of a giant Falcon and you serve as a mounted warrior for your faction, doing air -combat missions as well as open-world exploration. Someone online described it as "what would happen if Gandalf had ridden into Mordor on a giant eagle..... but with lasers", which is a fair description. The actual combat gameplay is very WWI-WWII style close up dogfighting but with giant falcons, dragons and other fantastical creatures.
[center][youtube]3viT_KoZ538[/youtube][/center]
[b]It's not just the game itself you created. I've been reading the [url=https://www.thefalconeer.com/world/]extensive lore and set-dressing[/url] you've meticulously written to create a cohesive world for your story to unfold in. What can you tell us about the setting of The Falconeer?[/b]
Well, I love lore-heavy worlds, for me, it makes exploring an open world so much better if the setting makes sense and has depth. The world of the Falconeer is called the Ursee and it's a bleak yet beautiful icy ocean world. Mankind has always had a hard time surviving on it, and societies have been founded and collapsing for millennia, leaving the seafloor scattered with wrecks and ancient relics. One major faction steering these societies are the Mancer Order, an organisation that has access to a wide array of technologies hidden away in their massive vaults. They manipulate and organise the other factions by doling out these technologies through permits and grants. If a king has the Mancer's favour he'll get steam engines, if he loses it, he might find his competitor suddenly has machine guns. The Mancer order doesn't involve themselves with the daily politics of factions such as the empire in which most of the game takes place, they have a hidden agenda with a long term goal. Part of the different campaigns you'll participate in, inside this world, is to figure the true goal and history of the Mancer Order, and with it the Ursee.
[b]In a [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0VJAaZpkfM]video by Digital Foundry[/url] covering The Falconeer, they mentioned that the entire game is created without using any conventional textures, is that true? If so, what made you choose this approach to game design?[/b]
Indeed, it's better described as no pre-made textures. So I don't work with a painting or material editor or even something like photoshop to create the material expression of my world. Rather I use procedural tricks and fairly abstracted shaders to do the heavy lifting. So, for instance, the snow on objects is a [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perlin_noise]Perlin noise[/url] I generate in the game, and I then also use that for lava and water foam. The same goes for the colouring of the world, It's all done with gradients based on lighting and atmospheric parameters and values. It basically means I can create models and paint them fairly simple and have the game itself add a lot of detail and environmental colouring.
I've had comments saying this must be because I'm lazy, and I certainly like an efficient art pipeline. But it isn't 100% the case - the effort I put in to create certain effects would be many times less if I'd simply use a texture. Take the clouds, creating those without textures was a crazy endeavour iterated over months. The same goes for the ocean another very advanced effect, stuff that certainly wouldn't have been possible a generation or so ago.
The reason I do it is mostly twofold. One, it forces me to adhere to a very strict esthetic, and it keeps everything I make very, very compatible and unified. Giving the game a very clean and stark look while having radically different objects, buildings, vehicles and so forth in it. I both love how that looks and how "together" it makes everything feel. Secondly, it forces me to find novel and original solutions to visual designs, I cannot use "out of the box" clouds, water or lighting, so I have to take a different path to get there. Both the journey of that as well as the end result are usually novel and interesting, which is what appeals to me.
[b]The Falconeer uses Unity at its core. What did you consider when choosing the engine for your game?[/b]
I've used Unity through my work, so I was familiar with it, which is a huge boon because knowing what you are capable off is quite a good thing to have, especially alone. You don't always want to dive off the deep end. That said I'm quite attracted by Unreal's blueprints and after the Falconeer is done, I aim to dive into that for a bit as well.

[b]Some Unity games allow mods (or can be modded with tools like Harmony), will The Falconeer have any scope for user-created content? [/b]
It's something under consideration, but modding and even game development are very distinct from enabling the creation of mods for your game. So basically because I'm working by myself it's quite a daunting task, but it is very much on my mind. It's also one of the few aspects I'd consider having external help with, as it's just such a specialisation to create adequate tooling and an open framework from the ground up for your game.
[b]In terms of modding, your biggest achievement has to be [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/9782]Moonpath to Elsweyr[/url]. When you released it in 2012, it was one of the only true "new world" mods. That must have been quite an undertaking, considering the Creation Kit had only been out for just over a week at the time. What can you remember about the process of putting it all together?[/b]
Well, I remember getting into a bit of a creative frenzy after diving into a few tutorials. At my work, we had just wrapped up a kid-friendly RPG for a local dutch theme park ("[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raveleijn]Raveleijn[/url]"), so there was lots of curiosity on how the big games did certain things.
I think there was already a group of people trying to use the existing NIF tools and update them for Skyrim. Being a 3D artist grasping some of the odd quirks and oddities of that format and the tools seemed less of an issue. And within a very short while I had some [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/10312]trees and foliage[/url] imported. I think those were the palm trees and other greeneries uncommon to Skyrim.
[center][img]https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/2295/images/26/26-1581947917-582928013.jpeg[/img] [img]https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/2295/images/26/26-1581947923-1718214276.jpeg[/img][/center]
From there I just went crazy, first with adjusting some of the material properties of default Skyrim objects, such as turning the snow into green moss (just fiddling got pretty good results fast). I think I then set about exploring the library of atmospheric fog and light FX and tweaking those to create a tropical vibe.
So initially I released a player home really quick, it's actually a really simple and manageable mod type to start with. What then happened is that the community just jumped on board and started offering voice acting, pointing out bugs and even assisting with my horrible spelling. That in itself was a ridiculous driver to continue, the player base (and other modders) was always waiting at the Moonpath Nexus page, ready with more feedback, more requests and more general helpfulness.
I think up to that point I had never had such a direct audience engagement, and it was a complete trip that burned away every free hour I had for about six months until most of what is now the Moonpath was there.
[b]I noticed that both The Falconeer and Moonpath to Elsweyr feature airships, would you say that's something a staple in your creative works? [/b]
I think the need to fly away and escape has a very literal form in much of the art and games I create, so I'd say that's something that's just a part of me. I'm also a huge fan of tall ships and historic sailing ships in general, so visually I'm always drawn to ships and airships.
[b]For Skyrim Special Edition, you entrusted the development of Moonpath to Elsweyr to [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/users/1240951]Illiani[/url] was this a difficult decision for you?[/b]
No not at all, there was a point where I realized I needed to focus on other things and long before Special Edition, I opened up the Moonpath and all its assets to any modder that wanted to use them. The [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/24587]Dev Aveza[/url] already showed what sharing things could lead to (I think it might actually still use my base airship model underneath all their epic expanding they did to it).
So no the community was part of creating the Moonpath and happy to see other modders take it onwards to new places. And improving it in many places I might add.
[b]How do you feel modding Skyrim helped (or hindered!) your career as a game developer?[/b]
It has been an incredible boon because the direct contact with the community is a unique perspective which is hard to get when doing a more classical game dev project.
I've also met plenty of people in the industry that played the Moonpath and it's opened many cool conversations over the years. I even met some people from Bethesda who knew it (I guess they kept close tabs on the modding scene in the early days).
[b]If you were to work on an Elder Scrolls title with everything you know now, is there anything you'd do differently?[/b]
I have nothing but admiration for how Skyrim was made. I've made my own educated guesses on why certain choices were made and understand the lineage of the creation kit, and I think it delivered an unparalleled game world and modding environment. I wouldn't presume to be able to improve on that. I do really like the more "out there" aspects of the TES lore and would love to see that remain centre stage in a new iteration.
[center][img]https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/2295/images/26/26-1581951105-1941102210.jpeg[/img][/center]
[b]Important question - when do you expect we can get our hands on The Falconeer?[/b]
Hahaha. Definitely later this year, working as hard as I can. ;) It'll be playable at [url=https://east.paxsite.com/]PAX East[/url] (Feb 27 - Mar 1) for those wanting a gameplay taste.
[b]Do you have any final words of wisdom for aspiring game devs in the Nexus Mods community? [/b]
I think for those who want to use modding as a stepping stone it's good to keep realizing how much a part of the wider game industry modding has become. It's part of game development. And there might be moments where people showing off their mods can get apologetic because it's "just" a mod and they fear people might still see it as something derivative or adapted from something original.
But I've never met anyone in the games industry who isn't a huge fan of mods. Mods are such creative original works of art by themselves. So if you make something don't be afraid to show it to any game developer or artist you might meet, good chance they love mods, are gamers themselves or have even modded in the past.
[b]Thank you for joining us Tomas, we wish you the best of luck with the release![/b]

We're looking for a Front End Developer
If you love gaming and have front end development experience, we may have a job for you!
As part of our ongoing projects to improve and revitalise our website, we're looking for a junior-mid level front end developer to join our team. You'll have a major part in shaping the look and feel of our user experience across all of our services with your work being used by millions of users worldwide. This position is based in our offices in Exeter in the UK, it is not a remote working position and we cannot sponsor VISA applications so you will need a right to work in the UK or EU.
We'd rather recruit from within the community if we can and we've been very lucky thus far finding staff who know and use Nexus Mods. The full job description is below.
[b][size=4]Description[/size][/b]
We are looking for a junior-mid level front end developer to join our website development team at our offices in Exeter, UK for our main website, Nexus Mods.
Your role will be to work alongside our senior front end developer and dedicated designer to deliver high quality, responsive front ends using the latest frameworks and standards. You will become an important part of a team where every perspective is welcomed.
If you like implementing cool new features and making sleek user interfaces and want to showcase your work to a large and engaging audience then this is the job for you!
We are looking for someone who is keen to learn and flexible in their approach to problem-solving. You will need production experience working with HTML/CSS/JS (with at least one front end framework e.g. Vue, React, Angular) and working knowledge of version control.
Our ideal candidate is somebody who can work as part of a team, taking direction but also being able to use their initiative and bring a fresh perspective to our work. Experience is helpful, but having the right attitude to self-development is more important than having used our exact tech stack before.
You will need to either be a UK citizen or have a right to work in the UK in order to be eligible for this role, as we cannot provide visas at this time.

Screenshot Competition: Winners and Prizes
[url=https://www.nexusmods.com/news/14173]A few weeks ago[/url], we asked you to submit your best Red Dead Redemption 2 shots in our screenshot competition in which we are giving away three Steam gift cards. The turnout has been great and our jury had an absolute blast looking through [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/images/?BH=0]over 250 stunning entries[/url].
Without further ado, here are our top 3 picks:
[size=4][b]The Winners[/b][/size]
[b]1st place goes to...
[/b]
"Desert Beauty" by [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/users/18420914?tab=user+images]Raz3d[/url] - Congratulations! The prize of a [b]£50 Steam Gift Card[/b] is yours to claim!
[url=https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/images/505][img]https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/110/images/93729/93729-1578322564-1725039219.png[/img][/url]
This image is simply stunning. From the colours and the motive to the composition itself it is a work of art. Red Dead Redemption 2 is a beautiful game that lends itself to amazing landscape shots, but what Raz3d has pulled of here is exceptional. A #1 spot well deserved!
[b]2nd place goes to...[/b]
"Alone" by [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/users/19859644]jabmasta[/url] - Congratulations on a great screenshot and on winning a [b]£25 Steam Gift Card[/b]!
[url=https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/images/315][img]https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/110/images/93729/93729-1578649229-692374004.png[/img][/url]
This aptly named shot illustrates loneliness quite well with our protagonist striking the perfect pose to complement the composition. While many amazing screenshots focus on landscape and nature, this one is about conveying an emotion in a town setting.
[b]3rd place goes to...
[/b]
"Riding into the Sunset" by [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/users/34290035]itaberless[/url] - Congratulations to you, as well. A [b]£10 Steam Gift Card[/b] is yours to claim!
[url=https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/images/265][img]https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/110/images/93729/93729-1578649233-1447861893.png[/img][/url]
An excellent screenshot that must have been tricky to pull off. The sun hitting the tree in just the right angle gives the shot a unique feel with a perfect balance between light and dark colours. Well done!
And with that being said: thank you to everyone who participated! Believe us when we say that it was no easy task picking only three screenshots from the [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/images/?BH=0]many, many amazing entries[/url] we received.
We hope to see you again in our next event. Until then, stay tuned!

Important Security Notice
[b]What has happened?[/b]
In the very early morning of 8th November 2019 we noticed suspicious activity by a potentially malicious third party actor against our services. Using an exploit in our legacy codebase, our logs confirm that they accessed a small number of user records from the old user service.
Even though we were able to secure the endpoint as soon as we discovered the exploit, as a measure of security, we are informing all of you, as we cannot rule out that further access to other user data including email addresses, password hashes and password salts has taken place.
We immediately worked to rectify the situation and, as part of the process, brought forward our release schedule for our long-planned [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/news/14163]new user service[/url] to ensure no other potential exploits on the old user service could be used to obtain user data. This step we took is ensuring that the new passwords are not only better protected, but that any encrypted passwords that have - potentially - been obtained from the old user service are already out of date.
Further, and as is required by law, we have informed the [url=https://ico.org.uk]ICO[/url] about this incident and we are in the process of fulfilling our obligations related to the matter.
[b]What does this mean for you?[/b]
While we noticed the suspicious activity on 8th November 2019, and we have no evidence of past activity in our logs, we cannot say for certain whether the exploit had been used before, and thus cannot ascertain how many - if any - email addresses, password hashes and salts were accessed.
Recognising our obligation to all of you, however, we are strongly urging you to be vigilant of potential [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phishing]phishing[/url] and [url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Credential_stuffing]credential stuffing[/url] attacks.
[b]General Recommendations[/b]
[list]
[*]If you haven’t already, please log out and back in, in order to update your account and password and migrate to the [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/news/14163]new user service[/url]. If you’ve already used the new user service, then there is no need to change your password again.
[*]If you were using the same password you had on our old user service on other sites, please, change your password on these other sites as soon as possible.
[*]We strongly recommend using a password manager and to not reuse passwords across sites.
[*]Always use unique and strong passwords of at least 12 characters for each service you use.
[*]Consider using Two-Factor Authentication, especially if you are a mod author.

If you have seen some of the screenshots players have been sharing since its PC release, you know as much as I do that [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/images/]RDR2 is one beautiful game[/url]! The PC version has only been out for a few weeks, but already we are seeing amazing screenshots from talented people making the most of photo mode. Check out some of the best shots from our image share gallery showcasing the best of Red Dead Redemption 2:

[b]Jury Selection[/b]
We will be picking winners from the top-rated images uploaded to the contest category in the week after the closing date.

So, if you see a screenshot you particularly like, do leave an endorsement to give them a better chance at being picked!
Bonus points for originality, humour and - especially - if you are showing off your modded/altered game like in this example:

[b]Tips and tricks[/b]
First and foremost, check out our [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/images/]image share[/url] for some inspiration.
To give your screenshots a unique look, feel free to use one of the [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/mods/categories/5/]many ReShade presets available[/url] on our site.
Next, you might want to get your game set up with [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/search/?RH_ModList=nav:true,home:false,type:0,user_id:0,game_id:3024,advfilt:true,search%5Bfilename%5D:hook,include_adult:true,page_size:20,show_game_filter:false]Script Hook[/url] which will allow various fun things such as the ability to spawn items, vehicles, actors. Oh, and it also makes it possible to play as any character in the game - including animals!
Consider using [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/mods/60]Red Dead Freecam[/url] to move the camera exactly where you want it.
Lastly, you can use the [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/mods/55]Red Dead Redemption 2 Save Editor[/url] to unlock outfits, weapons, or items to enhance your character before taking a screenshot of all your fancy gear.
[b]
Install mods using our mod manager Vortex[/b]
As of a recent update, you can now use [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/site/mods/1]our mod manager Vortex[/url] to easily install and uninstall mods that might help you create the perfect screenshot!

If you have seen some of the screenshots players have been sharing since its PC release, you know as much as I do that [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/images/]RDR2 is one beautiful game[/url]! The PC version has only been out for a few weeks, but already we are seeing amazing screenshots from talented people making the most of photo mode. Check out some of the best shots from our image share gallery showcasing the best of Red Dead Redemption 2:

[b]Jury Selection[/b]
We will be picking winners from the top-rated images uploaded to the contest category in the week after the closing date. We won’t necessarily be picking the most popular images, but our final selection will reflect the overall ratings from the community to an extent. So, if you see a screenshot you particularly like, do leave an endorsement to give them a better chance at being picked!
Bonus points for originality, humour and - especially - if you are showing off your modded/altered game like in this example:

[b]Tips and tricks[/b]
First and foremost, check out our [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/images/]image share[/url] for some inspiration.
To give your screenshots a unique look, feel free to use one of the [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/mods/categories/5/]many ReShade presets available[/url] on our site.
Next, you might want to get your game set up with [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/search/?RH_ModList=nav:true,home:false,type:0,user_id:0,game_id:3024,advfilt:true,search%5Bfilename%5D:hook,include_adult:true,page_size:20,show_game_filter:false]Script Hook[/url] which will allow various fun things such as the ability to spawn items, vehicles, actors. Oh, and it also makes it possible to play as any character in the game - including animals!
Consider using [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/mods/60]Red Dead Freecam[/url] to move the camera exactly where you want it.
Lastly, you can use the [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/mods/55]Red Dead Redemption 2 Save Editor[/url] to unlock outfits, weapons, or items to enhance your character before taking a screenshot of all your fancy gear.
[b]
Install mods using our mod manager Vortex[/b]
As of a recent update, you can now use [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/site/mods/1]our mod manager Vortex[/url] to easily install and uninstall mods that might help you create the perfect screenshot!

What's new in Vortex 1.1?
It doesn't feel like it's been long since we officially launched Vortex - our new mod manager - [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/site/news/14078]back in July[/url] but that was 4 months ago! Over that time, the Vortex team have been hard at work going through all the great feedback sent in by our community and building some exciting new features to make your modding experience even better.
You can now update to the latest build (1.1.3) next time you open Vortex or manually install it from the [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/site/mods/1/?tab=files]Vortex download page[/url].
So what's new? I've prepared a roundup of the most interesting new features added to Vortex since version 1.0.0.
[b]New Games Page[/b]
In 1.0.0 Vortex had three different tabs on the games page to organise "managed", "discovered" and "supported" titles. We've revisited this design and added all games to a single scrollable page making it easier to see both your managed and other supported games in one place.
[center][img width=602,height=356]https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/2295/images/26/26-1574176363-695424069.jpeg[/img][/center]
Managed games appear at the top, discovered and supported games appear in the "unmanaged" section. Supported games will be greyscaled until they are detected. You can also hide games from this view or use the search box to find a game by name.
[b]More power to Game Extensions with Harmony[/b]
Perhaps the most exciting change in this update. Our Vortex team have been working hard on integrating the Harmony library into Vortex, which will allow much more powerful mod manager support for games powered by Unity (and other engines).
Using Harmony, modders can inject C# code and assets into the assembly of a game. This is especially useful in Unity games where they do not support mod management natively. If you have a good working knowledge of C# and JavaScript, along with knowledge of how the engine in your favourite game works, you'll be right at home creating a Vortex extension to take advantage of Harmony.
We've made a couple of mods for [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/untitledgoosegame?tab=popular+%28all+time%29]Untitled Goose Game[/url] to give you a taste of what is possible using these new features. In addition, we'll be creating more extensions and updating support for existing games to take advantage of Harmony in the coming months. You can learn more about using Harmony in Vortex [url=https://github.com/Nexus-Mods/harmony-patcher/wiki]here[/url].
[center][img width=602,height=339]https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/2295/images/26/26-1574176370-2031893407.jpeg[/img][/center]
As part of this project, you'll also be able to make use of the Vortex In-Game Overlay (VIGO, for short) in Unity games. VIGO displays information and toggleable options for your mods while the game is running.
[b]Get extensions inside Vortex[/b]
With more and more developers creating new extensions for Vortex, we've made it much easier to browse and install themes, translations and other extensions.
[center][img width=602,height=356]https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/2295/images/26/26-1574176368-1473073103.jpeg[/img][/center]
In the Extensions tab, you'll see a new "Find more" button which will open a list of the approved extensions ready to download. Anything you install this way will be kept up to date automatically, meaning you won't have to wait for the next Vortex release for any fixes or enhancements to be available.
There is already a good range of localisations, themes, addons and community created game extensions. Here are some great examples of what is currently available.
Game Extensions:

If you've created an extension and would like to include it in the extension browser, please upload it [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/site/mods/add]here[/url] and get in touch with Pickysaurus or BigBizkit.
[b]Mod and Plugin Grouping[/b]
A feature that many users in the community asked for is a way to group your mods by category, similar to the default view in Nexus Mod Manager. You can now group your mods (and plugins for Gamebryo games) by status, author, category and more. Each category can also be expanded and collapsed to help you keep things nice and tidy.
[center][img width=602,height=356]https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/2295/images/26/26-1574176365-1983086562.jpeg[/img][/center]
[b]That's not all[/b]
Vortex 1.1.3 also includes several other smaller fixes and enhancements, including new options to hide or close Vortex when starting the game, mod installers (FOMODs) are now compatible with most supported games and 11 new games have been added.
We're excited about the future of Vortex, so please keep telling us what you love and what you think could be better in the [url=https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/forum/4316-vortex-discussion/]Vortex Discussion[/url] forums, our [url=https://discord.gg/nexusmods]Discord[/url] or through Vortex itself.
You can now update to the latest build (1.1.3) next time you open Vortex or manually install it from the [url=https://www.nexusmods.com/site/mods/1/?tab=files]Vortex download page[/url].
