Hello everyone, and thank you for your patience. Here is the program to patch mods for Pandora +. I am working on the video and PDF for advanced use and hope to have them ready soon. I am currently working on the alignment of some animations I created, along with other projects. Additionally, I will leave you with some observations to keep in mind.
When running FNIS and finishing with FNIS XXXXL, the program does not reactivate. This happens because we found a mod causing incompatibility. To address this, you can follow these steps:"
Pressing this button will initiate a search for mods that have files that could cause loading issues. This process takes a few moments, so please be patient. In my case, it takes about 250 seconds due to having around 4844 mod folders. This process is performed only once and whenever you deem it necessary.After completion, the names of mods requiring a patch will appear on the side. You can select all mods that appear or only those you believe need to be patched. This will be explained more clearly in the PDF or video (not finished yet).
When this is finished, press 'refresh,' and when you start the program again, they will be ready to continue with the process. Press all three buttons in order. When you press the first button, the program will prepare the package to start. It will take about 10 seconds and open FNIS. While all this is happening, the program freezes to prevent random button presses that could cause issues.
The program has several tricks, which I hope to explain well in the PDF and video. But first, I thank you for helping make the program possible. If you know of mods that are not compatible, I would be glad to know their names. I will analyze them and see if I can create a patch for them.
- I'm currently working on some modifications to the mod. The first change is that it will replace screen freezing with normal use of locked buttons. There will no longer be frozen screens during regular use. Done. The problem of double \meshes, which is generated on some PCs. Done. There will also be an option to change the program's color.Done.
Alright guys, here is the video on how to install PandoraForge Patch, along with its common usage.
Here is the second video that explains how to patch mods and use advanced modes in case of issues.
For Zaz specifically, with the Zaz behaviors patch installed, I've found that I only needed to keep meshes\actors\character\Behaviors\mt_behavior.hkx file from FNIS for the furniture to work in game. Pandora's output overwrote everything else. I'm able to do this with a file specific overwrite rule in Vortex for the Pandora output.
I'm glossing over a lot preparation that needs to happen with that statement, but mainly I'm wondering if you've identified any other specific files that need to be retained from FNIS output for other animation types to function?
Edit: Zaz patch provided here is not necessary if you retain mt_behavior.hkx from FNIS output. I have 100% Pandora output with just this single file from FNIS to achieve working Zaz furniture. The blending process from this, if I'm fully understanding it, results in mostly FNIS animation output blended with a small bit of Pandora animations (would be only 4 HKX files based on my current setup) plus the meshes\animationdatasinglefile.txt.
FOUND THE SOLUTION, It was a error from Windows itself. Follow instructions at the end of this page https://forums.nexusmods.com/topic/8855473-fnis-error5-invalid-namespace/
frankly, it's nice of you to try to solve problems and I thank you very much for that. but switching to Pandora poses too many problems, too many procedures for an idiot like me on vortex. I'd rather stay on Nemesis and see how these different tools evolve later.
Thanks for your work. Unfortunately for me I'm running Nolvus, it's a great pack and I'm hooked lol, but it's configuration is different and your mod can't find FNIS as it's not located in the standard stock game folder but in the Nolvus instance folder instead. I run in to this issue with other mods like Ruddy88 ESLify for example. SSEDIT works fine but when I try to add extensions they never work. I have a very minimal understanding of modding so I could be wrong about why your mod isn't finding FNIS but that seems to be the issue as far as I can tell. If anyone could suggest a workaround I'd greatly appreciate it.
This is amazing! Thank you for sharing this mod! I can't seem to get it to work properly on my steam deck, but still endorsed because this is definitely very much needed for Pandora users right now! Me personally I was trying to make a parch for Pama's Prison alternative but it didn't work for me, so I will just have to wait for Pandora to add more ZAZ support in the future, but I just wanted to say I appreciate you sharing this! 💖
Question. I always get an error on the last step 3 item PAND PLUS Overwrite\Pandora_Engine\ActiveMods.txt The next item after this is always Error al intentar copiar archivos: [WinError 2] The next line is always “Error al intentar copiar archivos: [WinError 2]. Solution. By the way, we have confirmed that the file is in that location.
