⚙️ How to Configure Nexus IDs

There are two ways for the mod to know which Nexus Page corresponds to which DLL.

Option A: For Players (Manual)

If a mod does not natively support the update checker, you can force it via a config file.

1. Launch the game at least once with Updates Checker installed.
2. Close the game.
3. Locate the generated file: UserData/UpdatesChecker/CustomNexusIDs.json (or similar path inside your game folder).
4. Open the file and add the mod's DLL name and its Nexus ID. Example: { "SomeMod.dll": "12345", "AnotherMod.dll": "67890" }
5. Save and restart the game.

Option B: For Developers (Automatic)

The best way to support this mod is to embed the ID directly into your plugin. Add this line to your AssemblyInfo.cs or main plugin file: [assembly: System.Reflection.AssemblyMetadata("NexusModID", "YOUR_MOD_ID")]

This allows the Update Checker to detect your mod automatically without user interaction.

❓ FAQ

Q: How often does it check for updates? A: Only at game launch. It no longer runs checks in the background while you are playing.

Q: I added a mod to the JSON file, but it's not working. A: Make sure you are using the exact name of the .dll file (case sensitive) and the correct numeric Nexus Mod ID.

Q: How do I change the language? A: Use the in-game dropdown, or select your language directly from the Mod Manager - Phone App (v2.1.0+). The language change is now instant.
