📋 About This Mod
NOTICE
There is a new Rust port program XIMOD Architect by plplecuyer,
which is direct successor of my FOMOD Creation Tool.
I recommend using it, as it seems more refined, has richer functionality and supported by the developer.
With this support of FOMOD Creation Tool is discontinued and it will no longer receive updates.
I would still keep it available to public here as legacy and fallback option.
Thanks to all who used my Tool and promoted it with their mod making, also thanks to all who participated in language translation.
Description
Recently i made two FOMOD installations, one i made manually from scratch, another one with one of a program from out here with some manual editing. And both times it took several hours to make work with NMM. It just a little bit less time then i spend on making mod itself! Ridiculous! I wasn't satisfied with functionality that provides that program and, of course, i didn't want to spend hours on making stupid .xml manually... so i decided to make my own fomod creation tool with blackjack and hookers steps and conditions! That's right, with FOMOD Creation Tool it's possible to make multi-step installations with conditions. I tried to not overload interface with controls, but it's harder to do than say. I'll not post here wall of text about how exactly to use the program, you may find this information in ReadMe file, or right in the program.
Functionality
As far as i know right now the program cover 99% of fomod specification. There is a long-long list of what was added and removed in the changelog tab.
