darktide-mod-loader's Introduction
Contains a small set of basic functionality required for loading other mods. It also handles initial setup and contains a mod_load_order.txt file for mod management.
Game updates will automatically disable all mods. Re-run "toggle_darktide_mods.bat" to enable them again.
This mod does not need to be added to your mod_load_order.txt file.
Installation:
1. Copy the Darktide Mod Loader files to your game directory and overwrite existing.
2. Run the "toggle_darktide_mods.bat" script in your game folder.
3. Copy the Darktide Mod Framework files to your "mods" directory (<game folder>/mods) and overwrite existing.
3. Install other mods by downloading them from the Nexus site (https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide) then adding them to "<game folder>/mods/mod_load_order.txt" with a text editor.
Disable mods:
* Disable individual mods by removing their name from your mods/mod_load_order.txt file.
* Run the "toggle_darktide_mods.bat" script at your game folder and choose to unpatch the bundle database to disable all mod loading.
Uninstallation:
1. Run the "toggle_darktide_mods.bat" script at your game folder and choose to unpatch the bundle database.
2. Delete the mods and tools folders from your game directory.
3. Delete the "mod_loader" file from <game folder>/binaries.
4. Delete the "9ba626afa44a3aa3.patch_999" file from <game folder>/bundle.
Updating the mod loader:
1. Run the "toggle_darktide_mods.bat" script at your game folder and choose to unpatch the bundle database.
2. Copy the Darktide Mod Loader files to your game directory and overwrite existing (except for mod_load_order.txt, if you wish to preserve your mod list).
3. Run "toggle_darktide_mods.bat" at your game folder to re-enable mods.
Updating any other mod:
1. Delete the mod's directory from your mods folder.
2. Extract the updated mod to your mods folder. All settings will remain intact.
Troubleshooting:
* Make sure your game folder, mods folder, and mod_load_order.txt look like the images on this page: <https://www.nexusmods.com/warhammer40kdarktide/mods/19>
* Make sure your mods have their dependencies listed above them in the load order.
* Remove all mods from the load order (or add '--' before each line).
* If all else fails, re-verify your game files and start the mod installation from the beginning.
Creating mods:
1. Download the latest Darktide Mod Builder release: <https://github.com/Darktide-Mod-Framework/Darktide-Mod-Builder/releases>.
2. Add the unzipped folder to your environment path: <https://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000549.htm>.
3. Run create_mod.bat or "dmb create <mod name>" in the mods folder. This generates a mod folder with the same name.
4. Add the new mod name to your mod_load_order.txt.
5. Reload mods or restart the game.
