NVMP Launcher and Ring-a-Ding-Ding Server content mods (both downloaded and installed by Wabbajack). Discord and Epic Games account. Players must be a member of our Discord server; their Discord account is tied to their in-game player character for moderation purposes. (example: if a player is banned thru discord they will be kicked from the game automatically) We use Epic for authentication purposes.

5. Differences from other modlists: Our modlist is unique from other modlists because it is the only modlist featuring multiplayer functionality. NVMP is a vanilla-based experience; we do not attempt to 'modernize' gameplay.

Sorry for the long wait.
A couple issues why I can't approve the request for now.

1. Readme leads to the manual step installation guide. Wabbajack installation guide doesn't reference any requirements.
2. There is no Post-Install tool being run. Maybe forgot to include Kezyma's Post-Setup Tool ?
3. The "Select 'Execute with VFS'" is only in the Data tab.
   Not necessary when selected from the executables dropdown menu / button.
4. Root Builder has the incorrect settings to have 4GB Patcher properly working.
   Had to switch from Link mode to Copy mode to have it working.
   Didn't require Admin priviliges either.

Minor QoL tip for your users, have the 4GB Patcher output to a "[NoDelete]Patched Executable" folder, so they don't have to patch the Executable every time they (re)install / update the modlist.

Out of curiosity, why can't an user use Epic Games version of FNV?
Can't Stewie's EGS Patcher be used for NVMP?

I also noticed you or one of your staff are planning to rework the wabbajack install on your wiki.
Do ping me so I can take a look at asap and give your feedback on anything missing.

Hey, sorry about that. We were actually transitioning to the new wiki at that time. We had 2 wikis for a while, and that one had out-of-date instructions. I've since updated it with the current instructions

1. The link to the readme has been fixed in my modlist.json and it should now link to the correct page.

2. The post-setup tool was removed some time ago, the updated wiki no longer mentions it.

3. The 4gb patch is now listed under the executables dropdown, and the updated wiki reflects this.

4. I'm not sure why the 4gb patcher didn't work for you with link mode in Root Builder. I honestly have never had anyone else report that issue before, and I have dealt with just about every conceivable issue as tech support lead! Please see the linked video as proof of function. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxGFMnfzG3Q

5. I'm unable to change the patcher's output. It can only patch the executable of the game being managed by Mod Organizer. I have tried to include a pre-patched exe as a mod using Root Builder's structure but long story short, it does not work. I feel that its not really an issue because falloutnv.exe will remain patched even if someone updates the modlist via Wabbajack. However, there is typically little need to do so; any server content .esp updates are pushed thru the launcher itself which then replace the existing files in Mod Organizer's mods folder. We seldom add new externally-sourced mods to the modlist, such as nvse-based mods, and they are considered optional and are not critical to multiplayer functionality. Only xNVSE 6.3.4 and NVAC are considered essential.

6. The Epic version of the game is still incompatible even when downgraded, I do not know the exact technical reasons for this as I am not part of the coding team. From what I have been told our code is only setup to work with the Steam and GOG versions of the exe and there are currently no plans to add compatibility.

7. The guide video linked in the wiki is still technically out-of-date, but it will be updated tomorrow (6/27/2025).

I hope this clears up any issues and we are looking forward to hearing back from you!
