Background

Boss is a fantastic tool for automatically defining your mod Load Order. However, there will always be some mods that have not yet been defined in BOSS's Master List and some that will never be defined because they are your own personal mods. In addition, the Master List is updated very frequently on the web but is updated much less frequently on Nexus.

What does the BOSS Master List Manager do?

The Boss Master List Manager (BOMM) is NOT a mod! It is a Microsoft Word document macro that..

• Automates the process of updating your local Master List from the frequently updated web list
  
• Allows you to define where you want your undefined ESPs/ESMs to be placed in the Load Order and applies these as changes to the Master List so that you will not get any undefined ESPs/ESMs
  
• Tells you when one of your undefined ESPs/ESMs has been added to the Master List and gives you the option of automatically removing it from your Definitions.
  
• Allows you to override BOSS's Load Order for selected ESPs, ESMs or BOSS Groups
  
• Automatically adds entries for Unknown mods listed in your BOSS log file
  
• Allows you to define your own special code lines (eg Bashed Patched tag suggestions)

BOMM provides full support for BOSS-F (Fallout 3) users.

Required

Microsoft Word 2010, 2007 or 2003
- It may work on earlier versions, but I am unable to test this

- BOMM is of no use unless you are using BOSS to help with your Load Order

Adding BOMM to Wrye Bash's Tool Launchers

I recently added BOMM as a custom tool launcher to BOSS and find it rather useful so I thought I would share what I did.

• Create a shortcut to the BOMM document (in my case, it is called BOMM)
  You can create a link by right-clicking on your BOMM.doc and dragging to the desktop or the BOMM folder - when you release the mouse, you are given the option of creating a shortcut.
  
• Use your favourite text editor to open the Bash.ini file in Oblivion\Mopy
  
• Find the sCustom entries near the end of the ini file and edit so it looks something like this...
  sCustom1=C:\Users\Surazal\Documents\BOMM Docs\BOMM.lnk
  sCustom1opt=
  sCustom1txt=BOMM
  
• I created a custom icon by replacing associated images (custom116.png and custom132.png) with ones of my own devising.
  
• Save the ini file and now you will see your new BOMM Tool Launcher in Wrye Bash.

I hope this was of interest and would be happy to upload my very unimaginative icons if anyone actually wants them.

I do! Please post.
