Overview:
Project Infinity is a mod manager for games based on the Infinity engine. Project Infinity aims to provide the same functionality BWS did, but without the need for constant 24/7 maintenance of the tool itself, for the cost of a few additional user actions.
Project Infinity offers a graphical interface that allows you to create and manage modded installations in a way that is much easier and more convenient than the command-line programs used to install mods one by one. It allows you to select multiple mods and components you want to install at once and offers several ways to choose the installation order.
Supported Games:
- every Infinity Engine game and version
Origin of the project:
The idea of Project Infinity comes from my 'mod template generator', but the project uses knowledge and experience from various other projects, like WeiDU, BWP, and BWS.
