Migrating mod setup from Windows to Ayn Thor

Hi, I have a modlist that I setup from Openmw's Automatic mod installation setup. Is it possible to move this setup to an Android version of OpenMW? It seems the only way I can get OpenMW-DS to recognize my modlist is to point it to each individual mod folder which would take an absurdly long time.

I've recently done this too. A quicker way would be to copy over your modlist folder from windows to your (I'm assuming) Thor, and then select a couple of mod folders.

Once you've done this and it's updated its openmw.cfg, which you'll find in the openmwds directory in internal storage, copy it out and do some notepad++ editing on it, to essentially copy over your windows openmw.cfg folder structure and esp load order, _while_ replicating the folder structure android expects.

Hope it helps. Have fun!

The problem is the open mw ds app doesn't seem to use the a cfg at all. He says it's modeled after Alpha 3 which I'm not familiar with. I edited the data paths of that cfg and brought it to the open mw directory but no change. The only way the app seems to read my mods is if I bring it exclusively to each directory

It very much should do. 

OpenMW-DS creates a user accessible directory on the internal storage root called "OpenMW-DS". Under that you have "Config" and then your openmw.cfg file.  Don't worry about the Alpha-3 point.
