Select a type of compression to use for creating the omod. If you enter a website here, mod users will be able to visit your website from within obmm. If you enter an e-mail address here, mod users will be able to send you e-mail from within obmm. obmm will warn you if you attempt to create a mod with this field left blank. This cannot be changed once the mod is generated. '1', '1.0' and '1.0.0' are all valid)Įnter the mod authors name here. If you enter something in an incorrect format, it will get reset to 1.0. It must be in a specific format 'xx.xx.xx', where xx is any integer. This is the mod version, and by default is also a part of the file name, although you can remove it if you like. This is the name of the mod, and becomes a part of the file name. If you miss out the build version or major version, they will not be displayed either in obmm or in the file name. If you don't want the version appended to the end of the name, uncheck the appropriate checkbox. You are free to change the filename once the file has been generated. Either way, authors can give end-users the best of both worlds.When an omod is generated, it will have the filename '. If you create your mod and package it as an OMOD and then use OBMM to convert it back to an archive, it will preserve all your OMOD settings which will allow end-users to quickly re-create the OMOD exactly as you had it (and make their own changes if they want) or they can simply extract it like any other archive and manually install it. I believe I have a solution for this and I call it OMOD-Ready™. Many people state how they use it but I rarely see OMOD versions being uploaded simple because authors do not want to 'force' people to use OBMM, authors do not want to support multiple uploads or authors simply do not know enough about creating OMODs. Oblivion Mod Manager (by Timeslip) is a brilliant tool for anyone using or creating mods for Oblivion. Provide tutorials such as how to create OMODs, manipulate images, file organization, etc.
