Audiosurf 2 Vortex Extension

Description

Adds Audiosurf 2 to Vortex, so mods install and uninstall like any other game.

It also handles the awkward part. Audiosurf 2 normally needs an absolute path pasted into Steam's launch options, and a wrong one reports nothing — the game just starts unmodded. Vortex's Play button passes it for you.

Installation instructions

• []Install this extension and restart Vortex. To do it by hand, extract into

  %APPDATA%\Vortex\plugins\ so

  info.json sits in a folder of its own.[/]

  []Install the Audiosurf 2 Community Patch yourself. It is not on Nexus, so Vortex cannot fetch it.[/]

  []In Vortex, open Games and click Manage on Audiosurf 2.[/]

  []Install AS2ModFramework through Vortex.[/]

  []Press Play in Vortex.[/]

Launching from Steam instead still needs the launch option. The extension shows you the string.

Main features

• []Finds the game through Steam[/]

  []Vortex's Play button loads mods — no Steam launch option needed[/]

  []Drops loose

  .dll mods into

  BepInEx\plugins\ for you[/]

  []Tells you when the patch or the loader is missing, instead of quietly doing nothing[/]
