Vortex support for Final Fantasy XII

[tommalmm]

If anyone is interested, I made a Final Fantasy XII game extension for Vortex mod manager. It lets you easily add/remove/install/uninstall mods. It also takes care of backups, so you can easily remove any mod or even get back to vanilla game within a few seconds.

It supports mod installers, so mods that have multiple installation options are possible (I used it in my Generous Montblanc/Job reset and Old Friends mods).

It requires the mods to be updated for it to support them, but it's not something hard (basically change one directory name).
We've discussed other options and this one simply won (other options would lead to many issues). I've already updated all my mods.

The "Download with mod manager" button is not yet available on mod pages, but it will be at some point (it's something that has to be enabled per game by Nexus admins).

Vortex is very easy to use and has very nice tools for resolving mod conflicts (per mod or per file if needed), so with mods overwriting the same files, it is possible to easily choose which one takes precedence. The extension will also ask for permissions if it cannot write to required files, etc, so that's one less problem for a user.

It's still an early version and needs some testing, but already works pretty well.

The extension is available here:
