FlareUKCS Posted June 30, 2025 Report Posted June 30, 2025 I get it its a preview so will have some issues, I am not complaining here just asking. I installed a fresh 1.21 pre 1 version, knowing it will be probably a mess, no issue there. I do want to ask why the mod folder has a new .txt file that says "This place is reserved for the base game mods only (VSSurvivalMod VSCreativeMod and VSEssentials). Do not use it for other mods, instead put other mods in the VintageStoryData/Mods folder." Mods added to the old mod folder still work, but that txt file suggests the mods will need to be moved to a new folder, just I couldn't work out if I had to make the new folder, and if its VintageStoryData/Mods or VintageStory/Data/Mods... neither folder is in the preview version, just the new .txt file. Mods placed in the mods folder still work as one would expect from a preview version, some work some half work most will have errors. Will we have to create a new mod folder, and if I assume a type... is it VintageStory/Data/Mods or as it says in the .txt file...VintageStoryData/Mods folder. I dont mind the typo, just want to clarify which it is, my worlds are forfeit as expected but I cant see which folder I should add my mods to.
Thorfinn Posted June 30, 2025 Report Posted June 30, 2025 You have to do it the same way it was in the past. Since at least 1.14, there were two Mods directories -- one in the game install, which is only for the VS mods, and the one in your data directory, where your save games are. It's just so many people put things in the game install directory, and then things get confusing when other mods get installed in your data directory, and you have to track down where the mods are that are causing problems. I'm curious to see how they plan to support multiple games. I think I would have nested things one directory deeper, so that the VS launcher in in the base, the VS game, with all its assets, is one level deeper, in parallel with, say, the Hytale game. Only core, cross-game engine functionality would be in what is currently the game directory.
