You can inherit your Script class from any of these classes: SkyrimBaseScript, Fallout4BaseScript, FalloutNVBaseScript, Fallout3BaseScript, FalloutBaseScript.Your script can access classes and methods from these libraries (not namespaces): System.dll.Returning true from this method indicate that your script worked out correctly, false - something bad happened and mod should not be marked as installed in NMM.

Before this method is called, a new Script instance is being created, so you don't need to make OnActivate() method static. Script class contains OnActivate() method, which is called by NMM when user starts installing process.This class is absolutely essential to make script working, as well as inheriting this class from BaseScript and it's implementor classes (see below). You are creating a new class named Script.If you haven't used C# before, you can read a quick introduction into it.įirst, grab this template and place it in your mod's fomod folder as script.cs. I'm surprised how difficult such simple information is to come by.For some reason there are no information about scripting your own installer in C# for Nexus Mod Manager, but you know what? This page will teach you to do that. I knew that FOMOD archives worked with NMM and have used one, but you explained clearly what they are. Someone who actually explained exactly what I needed to hear. It's a manager used for Oblivion, and for Oblivion mods it's still working as fine as ever. Oh, and no, the OBMM is far from 'defunct'. It's become the NMM-proprietary installation info folder ever since. The NMM now in a lot of things is based on FOMM, that's why these FOMOD installation info folders are still used for it, even for games 'not' Fallout. The FOMM is an advanced version of its predecessor OBMM, yet by far not the same anymore. Just a small correction: FOMOD is a mod-manager-specific archive format for the Fallout Mod Manager, not the Oblivion Mod Manager. However, Nexus Mod Manager and Mod Organizer can also process that info.

That's installation info for a program called Oblivion Mod Manager that I believe has been defunct for some time.
