meta.ini

[bigfella67]

This is something I haven't been able to find an answer to.  

 

What do you do when you have to mods that have a meta.ini file?  Can these be combined and one be overwritten?  Or are they simply incompatible?

 

The two mods I'm looking at are Live Another Life, and EstrusChaurus+

 

Have not installed Estrus as I do not want to screw anything up.

Using Mod Organizer here, and pretty much every single one of my mods folders has their own 'meta.ini' file. There doesn't seem to be any conflict though. I'm not sure they're even at all necessary, or serve any kind of meaningful purpose.

You are both correct and wrong. Lets have a look into a meta.ini file.

[General]
modid=53271                      // That is the Nexus Mod ID, can be found in the URL 
version=1.30.0.0                // The Version the Mod has
newestVersion=1.30.0.0          // Newest Version that is aviable, updates when checking for  Updates
category="1,"                   // Mod Categories so you can filter mods 
// File name of the installation file
installationFile=1_Animated Dragon Wings (all-in-one) new2-53271-1-30.7z    
ignoredVersion=                 // If you don't want the red incicator when a new Version is there 
notes=                          // These you write youself in the "Information" Window
nexusDescription=" JUST THE NEXUS PAGE, VERY LONG SO I CUT IT OUT "
lastNexusQuery=                  // No idea 
endorsed=0                      // 0=not; 1= endorsed

It is Information for MO. You can overwrite it if you dont care for that.

in short: if you don't use MO, as the overwrite prompt states, then you can not only ignore and/or overwrite the Meta.iNi, you can as well delete it.

 

P.s.: lastNexusQuery= will hold a date and time, from the last time you used MO to check for updates.
