About
mlox is designed to help people manage large collections of plugins for popular Elder Scrolls games from Bethesda Softworks.
The program sorts plugins based on a very simple set of ordering rules that comprise a partial order over the set of plugins using a standard topological sort.
It also provides advice on plugin conflicts, missing pre-requisites, and general information of interest based on the user’s particular set of plugins.
Features
- Creates an optimal load order.
- Warns about missing pre-requisites.
- Warns about plugin conflicts.
- Gives useful, but often overlooked information about installed mods.
- Customizable via a rules file.
- runs on Windows or Linux
- can check someone else’s load list from a file:
mlox.py -wf Morrowind.ini
mlox.py -wf someones_load_order_posting.txt
or just paste the list of plugins into the Active plugins pane of the GUI. (mlox understands output of Wrye Mash and Reorder Mods++)
Note: mlox does not tell you if you have missing Meshes or Textures, it is only a load order tool, and does not report problems with resources!
Downloading
The latest stable version of mlox can be found here, and the source code can be found on github.
Unpack the mlox application archive in your Morrowind directory. You should see an mlox directory in the same directory as Morrowind.exe.
If Mlox does not run you may need the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (vcredist_x86.exe).
