aurora184 Posted November 27, 2025 Report Posted November 27, 2025 (edited) Finally made the switch over to linux, and was hoping that my mods would work from my windows installation. Copied over everything from AppData to ~/.var/app/at.vintagestory.VintageStory/config/VintagestoryData/ However mods don't seem to work after doing this. Would they need to be recompiled? I thought a big purpose of C# was to allow dynamically loaded libraries to run on any system as its managed. Edited November 27, 2025 by aurora184
aurora184 Posted November 27, 2025 Author Report Posted November 27, 2025 (edited) So I said I copied everything. Well, the mod directory can be specified in several of the config files. Open all the JSON files at the path below, then change your AppData location to the location of where your mods reside (should be the same path, with an appended "Mods" at the end). ~/.var/app/at.vintagestory.VintageStory/config/VintagestoryData/ Edited November 27, 2025 by aurora184
Micah Holmes Posted November 28, 2025 Report Posted November 28, 2025 (edited) Go into your home folder then .config. You may need to show al files to see .config. Inside the config you should see Vintage Story data folder. Go inside there and look for folder "Mods". Always drop mods inside their. Your main Vintage story folder (game) will be in your Home->.local (hidden by default)->Share->VintageStory. Dont mess around in here but good to know where this section is for mod building.

For Flatpak, the VintagestoryData folder is inside .var/app/, not .config. On 11/26/2025 at 8:54 PM, aurora184 said: However mods don't seem to work after doing this. What's probably going on is that you copied your clientsettings.json file. Inside that file is the path that the game loads mods from. If you copied it from windows, it's trying to look up your Windows AppData folder on your C drive, which doesn't exist. I would just back up the clientSettings.json file and delete it. The game will regenerate a fresh one for the correct platform. You'll have to sign in again and tweak your settings however you had them, but that's probably the easiest fix.

Micah Holmes Posted November 28, 2025 Report Posted November 28, 2025 @aurora184 where you able to resolve your issue?
aurora184 Posted November 29, 2025 Author Report Posted November 29, 2025 Yeah, my second post and Diffs describe how to get it up and working. If i was better with sed, I'd provide an easy script to replace everything.
