[tropic light]

found it thanks

[ember pulsar]

And yet none are supported for drg

Mod io was chosen to allow for mods on all platforms

And look where we are

[maiden heath]

Darktide OST is now Verified and thank Karl.

Boppin' soundtrack, but get earrape during Core Events

[jagged osprey]

more players not working 😦

the one day when my friends are actl online

[south kayak]

I'm assuming y'all have gotten questions like this a lot, but I've gotten into trying out mods and I was curious if anyone knew what this one was

It looks very entertaining

[serene flame]

Hi ppl, I wonder why we still do not have a mod that shows timers for flaregun. Is it possible to do?

[heady sleet]

where do i get mods?

[acoustic wolf]

So I am currently using the "Sprint by Default, Hold to Walk" mod and it appears to work normally until I swap to Gunner. Literally every other class it works fine with, but as soon as I swap to gunner, it stops working, I have to change to a deferent character, and then I have to disable and reenable the mod to get it working again. ANyone else had this happen?

[quasi raft]

Why did this get deleted??
#modio-feed message

[hexed ravine]

are you using the second wind perk on your gunner?

[acoustic wolf]

Nope, just field medic as I haven't promoted it yet

The bug comes into affect in the space rig before I even start up a mission

[hexed ravine]

second wind is a passive perk though? also if you start a mission as gunner does it persist into the mission?

[acoustic wolf]

I am not running second wind

Yes

and if I swap back to engineer and then go into a mission, it also persists

[hexed ravine]

hm

[acoustic wolf]

it is only fixed from what I can tell by disabling and reenabling the mod

and never with gunner

[hexed ravine]

do you use other mods as well?

if so, try having it be the only enabled mod. otherwise the only other thing i can think of is verifying your files

[acoustic wolf]

That's the mods I have active

[hexed ravine]

if you cant get it working, youll have to ask the mod author. thats an annoying bug to have so i hope you can fix it quickly

[dapper lotus]

oh no

I have competition

[verbal heron]

anyone know a mod for reducing lag with lithophage spikes and infectors?

[ember pulsar]

MCR

Yes but its private i believe

There shouldn't be more than like 10 lobbys with it at any given time

[ripe breach]

Guys i tried deleting modio folders and am still waiting endlessly what should i do now?

[dense locust]

Can someone please tell me how I can get player input to work in Unreal? Like for running or shooting. And no not using the key for it.

[ember pulsar]

Didnt quite understand the question tbh

[cunning kiln]

ayo lads how can i tell if a mod is clientside or not?

i only want those so i can still play with normal players

[dusty holly]

only verified mods are not impacting other players

[cunning kiln]

so if its got verified tag it's clientside, thanks

[dusty holly]

pretty much

[heady sleet]

someday we will get an update to Instant Second Wind + Sprint by Default

[west harness]

it would be fucking awesome if i didn't need to constantly reinstall mods one at a time

i know this isn't really a fault of DRG modders and that it's either something about my pc or about modio

[versed bough]

What are some essential mods i can use that doesnt mess up the multiplayer mode of the game

[hexed ravine]

idk that i would say anything is really "essential", but personally i like customizable ally outlines, combined resources, and sprint by default

simpleqol is nice if you want a separate key for hoverboots/dash or better sentry management

[versed bough]

Okay maybe i mean QoL mods that dont mess up the Multiplayer experience

[hexed ravine]

all the ones ive mentioned are verified, which would be what youre looking for

[hexed ravine]

most mods you want are probably gonna be here https://mod.io/g/drg?tags-in=Verified,QoL

[peak perch]

ammo percentage indicator, build inspector and damage text are very good
cosmetic restriction remover is pretty popular
weapon/cosmetic presets is very useful

[left cave]

anyone know of a mod that unlocks all the stuff or increases xp and money?

[plain relic]

Hi, one of my mods (weapon hit crosshair) seems to disable itself once every week or so, despite unchecking "auto disable outdated mods".

Any idea what may cause that?

[vestal aspen]

Sandbox utilities

[strong epoch]

are there any mods for extended missions where i can mine like 2000 morkite or kill 20 dreads etc

[vestal aspen]

MCR

I mean mcr also adds a billion other things but that is one of the features

[strong epoch]

can you send a link

i only see mcr better flares and resupply pods

[vestal aspen]

Massive content revise

[strong epoch]

thank you sir

i’m new to content mods so do i just install and enable it?

and it won’t hinder my vanilla save if i disable it ?

[vestal aspen]

It won't impact your save, but you won't be able to join vanilla lobbies or get achievements while it's enabled

[strong epoch]

ah that’s fine by me thank you again

[strong epoch]

dumb question but if i make progress with this mod and go from like level 14-24 on my gunner will it save when i go back to vanilla

[vestal aspen]

Yes

[dreamy kiln]

How exactly do I make a "Class icon replacement" mod? Where do I look?

I want to make Something similar to this, but with my own icons
https://mod.io/g/drg/m/class-icons-default

[shut helm]

petition for elf characters /hj

[hexed ravine]

from what i know, you would make an unreal project and then recreate the folder path that the icons are in. the only other thing is making sure theyre named the same as the files you want to replace. you can start here https://mod.io/g/drg/r/drg-basic-modding-guide but if you need more help you can always ask in the modding server

[dreamy kiln]

Tried looking into that shortly after posting my message. Yeah, there's no way I can figure that out lmao

[hexed ravine]

for some reason i also thought that you could manage to do it through hex modding, but i couldnt find anything about it. its not too too difficult to setup but it does take some time

[oblique palm]

Hey guys, my dumbass accidently progressed on another slot instead of my main save, is there any way i could make my current progress save into a main save because my ass is 20 player lvl away from my main save 😭😭

[dusk bough]

Can i get some help? im trying to file transfer from steam to xbox (pc) and the xbox (pc) does not want to accept the file from steam. from watching tutorials it should want to change the file type after I rename it to what the previous file name was from the orginal xbox file name but it is not formating it from the .sav file to the normal one. Each time i try to do this and boot up the xbox pc version it just deletes the file i put in and makes a new one with a new save of the game. any help on this would be great

[shell inlet]

Have to have file extensions shown in file explorer so that you can change the file types. Can open up control panel to access file explorer settings.

[dusk bough]

imma kiss you

thank you so much

[ember pulsar]

🤨

[elfin nimbus]

[crimson thunder]

hello ive came here to ask if anyone have the same issue with this mod and how do i fix it??

[fleet prism]

go into your mod folder for drg and delete the mod thats causing issues. it should re-download it when you reboot the game

[crimson thunder]

but theres no music pack mod here

[acoustic shale]

can someone help me with a glitch i have?

hello?

[acoustic shale]

yo bro can you help me with a glitch

[wicked yew]

Hey guys, can you help me please? I can't turn the mods on cuz I have this message about mod.io

Everything was fine yesterday but today all mods are disabled and I see this screen

Is this my problem or is the site malfunctioning?

[wicked yew]

Sorry to bother, that was steam issue

[heady sleet]

hmm interesting... have you tried going on the site directly?

[hexed ravine]

you actually have to look here C:\Users\Public for your mod.io folder

[wicked yew]

Thanks, but I've already solved my problem. I've run the game with "offline" status on steam

[heady sleet]

makes sense

[strong epoch]

average bulk infestation

[hazy shell]

#drg-memes-no-talk message
Might I get the name of the mod?

[thorn cliff]

does anyone know any good mods for increasing game performance?

I have the mod that gets rid of particles

[shell inlet]

massive content revise

[shut shore]

on modded difficulties like haz 6. do you still get rewards? and if you do does it scale more than the 133% bonus haz 5 gives?

[vestal aspen]

Yes, seconds depends on the mod

[peak perch]

as long as you don't mind having everything else that mod adds

[fathom field]

Does anyone know why some mods just keep disabling themselves? It's very annoying.

I just don't get why these for example.

Wow now that I look at it, like half my mods disabled themselves.

[vestal aspen]

Untick "autodisable outdated mods"

[hexed ravine]

if a mod has a dependency that gets updated it will disable that mod. i.e. mod hub gets updated, so simpleqol gets disabled

[neat gate]

hey im running into an issue with more players balanced. over four players cant join, does anyone know if the latest patch broke the mod

[shell inlet]

needs modhub to change count

[strong epoch]

anyone know if there’s a mod that changes the the colors of the breach cutters projectile i can’t seem to find one

[dusty holly]

can't say I've ever seen one

[strong epoch]

maaann thank you tho

[green saffron]

Say, could someone send me the laser pointer ping sound effect please ?

[dusty holly]

hold on

[green saffron]

thanks a lot o7

[dusty holly]

[green saffron]

are there variations to it in the gamefiles ? I see that one is named 03

[dusty holly]

I would need to check in more details

hold on

[green saffron]

no pressure but it'd be appreciated !

[dusty holly]

it's the only one I seem to find

if there are others, I don't know where they are

[green saffron]

interesting ! maybe the game just pitch shifts it

thanks a lot once again !!

[dusty holly]

no problem

[thin cape]

Does anyone remember a mod that allowed you to take large objects back to the space rig? I swear I saw someone mention it in one of the reddit posts but after trying to search for it myself Im half convinced I saw it in a dream or smth

[jade rain]

Give a link to a mod in which you can paint drills from a driller, please

[torn barn]

yo im new to modding drg and was wondering if it would be better for me to use mod.io or not as ive heard it is having some problems recently

[vestal aspen]

Don't exactly have a choice

I mean you can put mods in manually but then you'll be sandboxed no matter what

[torn barn]

ahh ok

[vital tusk]

can anyone tell me how to do hazard 1x32?

ncm it works now

[heady solar]

question is the grey room like place a specific mod or what? i trying to get something like it for some personal testing but im either too stupid or its just not named anything close to shooting gallery/shooting range etc..

omg its just part of sandbox utilities welp that helps it

[shell inlet]

Take me home

[thin cape]

thx

[modest gulch]

goodmorning

is there a way to mod the game privately without having to upload to mod io

and yes i currently know nothing about modding drg

[vestal aspen]

If you have the mod files on your computer you can just put them in manually

It is described in this guide in section 2.4.3

https://mod.io/g/drg/r/drg-basic-modding-guide

You might as well give the rest of it a read (wink)

[vestal aspen]

So yes

[modest gulch]

okeeee

thanks

[plain relic]

thanks a lot for your answer, this is probably what happened to me earlier this week.

[cursive cloud]

Can someone explain to me what the modded haz’s are cuz I’m OOTL but interested

Like what is Haz 6 and 1x64?

[fleet prism]

Theyre what it says on the tin. Hazard 6 is a step up from hazard 5 and 1x64 is hazard 1 but tikes 64. Iirc it doesnt effect damage but its enemy count

[cursive cloud]

That second one always got me curious cuz I figured 1x64 was just a roundabout way of saying haz 64 lmao

Would there be a way to customize haz’ with mods, like if I just wanted haz 4 with more enemies, for example

[fleet prism]

Uhh ik something like that exists i just dont remember its name

I want to say MCR has it but im not 100% sure

[visual relic]

is using the spawn menu frowned upon?

[mystic jetty]

Haz 1x64 is haz 1 but with 64 as much enemy spawns, haz 6 is just a run-of-the-mill haz UP like 4 to 5
There's a big mod called 'Swarm Control' that has a much of presets, like Starship troopers and Oops All Bulks

[sonic ravine]

which mission control mod is the best

[cursive cloud]

Vanilla cuz he’s already perfect

[hazy knoll]

Does anyone have the game freezing and using 100% of ram randomly (I have 32gb) when you play on modded with more players ? Happened to me a lot of times this month for no reason
Never had that before (reinstall and all pilots updated don't do anything)

[hexed ravine]

custom difficulty also lets you do that. ive not used swarm control so idk how different the two are

[hexed ravine]

wdym?

[vestal aspen]

U36

[brisk island]

Anyone knows how to change the position of Live Mission Stat Tracker?

Saw a video of someone have it center-up of the screen

[worn frost]

probs nobody is gonna do it nor the modding server but
make me a kurukuru caretaker mod, approved

[unborn quiver]

Anyone elses more players balanced mod not working?

Once we get a fourth it wont let my friends join me from steam

[hexed ravine]

@unborn quiver

[unborn quiver]

Ah, thank you

[ember pulsar]

Why approved tho

[somber beacon]

do not uninstall the better sentry guns mod without disabling it first i almost ruined my save

[unborn quiver]

Whar

[open summit]

IM BEGGIN YALL, PLEASE MAKE SPLATOON MODS. THE SPLATOON COMMUNITY REQUESTS HELP FROM YALL

[hexed ravine]

i use this bc i wanted a more distinct weakpoint sound https://mod.io/g/drg/m/splatoon-weakspot-hitsound

[open summit]

Yea I’ve been using that one for a while, it’s he only one I could find

[hexed ravine]

figured as much. what sort of thing(s) do you want to see for a splatoon mod?

[open summit]

Decorations, voice lines, music, small fry somewhere, etc

[upper warren]

Hey! I stream DRG from time to time and a few of my viewers have been asking me to get the Twitch integration mod. I don't know much about modding, so how can i get started?

[hexed ravine]

there is a channel for it in the modding discord where you can find info about how to set it up and ask questions if you need help.
for getting started with mods in general, go to the modding tab in the esc menu and connect your steam with mod.io. it should walk you through that pretty easily. from there you can subscribe to mods on mod.io and manage which ones are enabled in-game

the invite link is in #fan-communities

[upper warren]

awesome! thanks a ton ❤️

[dense locust]

In DRG there are a few particles that use the UE Niagara Particle system which UAssetGUI does not fully support. Does anyone know if the new DwarfSDK has these uncooked files?

[ember pulsar]

Yeah it has them but they are not really usable

[static sedge]

Supp guys is the hazard 6 x2 save and worthy? and do my m8 need to instal it too and can people join normaly?

[ember pulsar]

Sure, you can use them but trying to edit them will be troublesome

[shell inlet]

It does not. Particles and a number of other things cannot be recreated.

[ember pulsar]

I believe you can still reference them tho

[shell inlet]

Yes but those are cooked, not uncooked. Niagara is not in the project at all.

[dense locust]

Is there any way I can edit them without the use of UAssetGUI of course

[heady sleet]

any mods for changing character pitch or do i gotta go file mining

[ember pulsar]

There is one to normalise them thats for sure

If you want everyone to sound like engi its what you need i guess

[heady sleet]

that one im aware of

[ember pulsar]

Well there are no mod to actually change pitch mid game as far as i am aware of

But it should be easy to change pitches yourself

[ripe frost]

Uh oh

[plush estuary]

anyone know how to restore beard physics while mods are enabled?

[honest marlin]

is there a mod for detailed killcount? the base killcound counts both dreadnoughts and swarmers as one

[smoky pine]

I'm trying to get some kind of numerical values for the velocity of the PGL's grenades and overclocks. Does anybody know how I could get those?

[neon cairn]

Either using modding tools to look into upgrades and the PRJ file or using another tools for dumping / viewing the velocity at runtime. And it wouldn't be too hard to make a mod that separately displays it whenever you fire that particular projectile.

[slim iris]

Does anyone know if area of effect mods do anything on plasma burster missiles for the hurricane

[nova hatch]

is there any mods which lets you have 5x speed on your grapple

[valid flame]

I don't know if this is the right place to request this, but I'd like to humbly ask if someone could change the mundane chit-chat audio on the space rig for Oktoberfest to this song. I was really hoping for some polka or something and was kinda disappointed
https://youtu.be/8_UnANdDqJc?si=-9a2LlPZTYu_1r80

[tight swift]

my game is crashing when I open the weapon terminal

and then it crashes again immediately upon restart and when I open the game the third time i have to reinstall all my mods

and it does this even if I have no mods enabled

how can I fix this?

just to note that the game won't crash if I don't have the mods installed

also is there a way to complete the install of a mod without enabling it?

[hexed ravine]

not that im aware of. can you send ur mod list tho? its prob happening bc of a specific mod

[tight swift]

I finally found where drg stores error logs and it turns out it was truly to load the mcr flares despite me disabling them, so unsubscribing from the mod fixed the issue

[hexed ravine]

ah, interesting

[neon cairn]

PBM uses base hurricane projectile and its own missile asset. They have damage components that are used for dealing each of 10 potential hits.

[lusty sage]

Does anyone know how @fringe siren does what they do with a moded game? I'd like to host my own if possible

[bitter fractal]

can anybody explain to me how you create a sandbox save?

[vestal aspen]

if you enable any sandbox mod it will prompt you to create a sandbox save

[bitter fractal]

gotcha, thanks. was thinking i should create one prior

[slow trail]

Hi everyone, i have a question to ask: me and some of my friends wanted to make a drg mod with italian dubbing but instead of translating everything from zero we wanted to use the in game italian subtitles. is there any way I can get the italian subtitles as plain text?

[dusty holly]

The italian translation can be found on the crowdin project for the game. Link is in the pinned message in #babelfish-lounge.

[slow trail]

perfect! thank you so much 🙂

[shell inlet]

Over 1500 total custom ragdolls, no frame loss for the most part.

[ember pulsar]

But what if nuke "accidentally" explodes in them

Outright crash or just powerpoint mode

[shell inlet]

Nothing.

[brisk island]

How?

[shell inlet]

Uh, scripting?

[serene narwhal]

Who here is familiar with modding drg? I'd like to know is there any mods which where you can disable certain regions of area from lobby list? I'm already fed up with russian lobbies being showed up in vanilla lobbys.

[gritty lance]

i've got a question

wth does this dependency stuff mean

[peak perch]

means you need another mod enabled for this one to work

[gritty lance]

k

[grim pewter]

Guys i have a problem with mods, days ago i installed several mods from mod.io then i decided to remove some of them and delete others but they neither added nor deleted, at that point i tried several times to log out and log back in to uninstall and re install the game to delete mods from folders but nothing to now i deleted my account from mood.io but i still see the mods in game and if i delete them they keep re installing as if there is still some link not synchronized

[covert kraken]

I'm getting the same crash other people have.

Do I have to re-install my game?

testing it now. Seeing if it still crashes

Nvm deleting my mods folder fixed it

[hexed ravine]

• did you unsubscribe from them on mod.io?
• look here: C:\Users\Public for your mod.io folder and delete them from there

[timber quest]

is there an easy way to increase max ragdolls or is this the type of thing that overrides the death animations directly? I'd assume enemies that are killed and turned to ash wouldn't create a ragdoll, and what is the timeout for despawns of ragdolls?

[shell inlet]

No, no, correct, none.

[timber quest]

interesting, I think a mod that adds increased ragdolls would be cool, probably destroy frames with the SHADOWS! mod

[shell inlet]

My ragdolls cast no shadows.

[sonic ravine]

best qol mod?

[shell inlet]

Probably "simple qol".

[timber quest]

there's a mod called SHADOWS! that adds dynamic shadows to all entites in the game

[shell inlet]

It doesn't add shadows to other things, just adds shadow casting to some light sources which then works with other things by default.

[timber quest]

it drains FPS when you have like 6 or more light sources, my FPS drops from around 110 to 45 with 4 Scout flares in 1 room

[shell inlet]

I don't think that has much to do with the lights themselves.

[timber quest]

it has to do with how the lights cast shadows and they're all dynamic lights, so the shadows created are all updating in real time and casting multiples of the shadows even if not rendered

[shell inlet]

Yes, but it should not lower performance that drastically.

[timber quest]

it shouldn't but it does, the mod author even acknowledges as an issue with how the mod is coded

[shell inlet]

They used on tick, so makes sense.

[timber quest]

yup, it gets nasty fast, I'm on an overclocked 2070 Super and as I said, my FPS can go from 110 to 45 by shooting 4 scout flares

[shell inlet]

Yep, the better your potential FPS the worse your FPS.

[grim pewter]

@hexed ravine yes ofcourse i did both

[timber quest]

but your mod looks cool, I look forward to trying it out, wish ya the best of luck in the mean time

[shell inlet]

It is on the Massive Content Revise test branch atm. I will eventually make it a standalone mod but for now it is not.

[timber quest]

fair enough

[nova palm]

If it says [modded] next to my name on the top right of my screen when in the hub, does that effect who can join my lobby?

[nova palm]

When I see other players modding, they don't have this, and I don't really get people joining my lobbies. I'm wondering how it is possible

[hexed ravine]

if you only have "verified" mods it wont show up. if you have "approved" mods, it'll show this tag. "sandbox" mods have a tag on the side of the screen and the [modded] tag iirc.
when you have the tag, it means that your lobby gets marked as modded and it should only show in the server list if they check the option to show modded lobbies. its a bit uncommon to get people to join a modded lobby unless you announce it somewhere like #lfg-modded-steam
approved mods can be either required or optional. required mods means everyone in the lobby must have it and optional means only the host needs it. this might be why you dont see the modded tag for others. the other reason would be because of a third-party mod loader

[ember pulsar]

Huh

1500 physics calculations cause no lag?

Kinda sus

[steep trellis]

So how much time/effort would it be to to download all the modding tools and learn my way around just to change a couple lines of an existing mod for personal use?

As someone with no modding background, it looks very intimidating

[ember pulsar]

Depends on mod and mod author

You will still have to ask for files most of the time

[steep trellis]

Is that for courtesy or is it it just not possible to alter the stuff off modio?

[timid vector]

tell me about it, i need 7 more people for properly testing karl haz 3, 4 and 5, but its hard getting people willing to do so

[limber pond]

how do you make a lobby without the making a modded lobby when you have mods, but you can use the mods that wont make it a modded lobby

[hexed ravine]

@limber pond ^
if youre talking about bypassing the modded filter, youre not gonna get an answer here

[limber pond]

i didnt mean it like that i think ill try to disable the mods that are not cosmetic

[hexed ravine]

ppl do ask abt it which is why i mentioned, but yeah, mostly things that are not cosmetic will mark your lobby as modded

[robust briar]

is there like a place explaining how mods as a whole work after 300hrs im actually taking a look at them for the first time

[hexed ravine]

there are some guides on mod.io but i think most of them are more for making mods. you can also join the modding discord if you want to ask more questions, since youll probably get answers faster there. invite link is in #fan-communities

[wild path]

So today I discovered why I couldn't mod drg anymore. So there's this mod called "and traversal for all" which breaks everything mod related.

[maiden lynx]

How can I reset keybinds on SimpleQOL? Esc and backspace do nothing, so as disabling and enabling the mod.

[vestal aspen]

rightclick on the bind

[maiden lynx]

ohh thanks I'm dumb

[grim pewter]

Hi, I am here to ask for some help regarding a bug I have with mods. I have already opened a tiket on the mod.io server but they can't help me, I have also asked for help on your discord but even there no one knows how to help me that's why I thought maybe by writing directly to you I could get direct contact.
The main problem is that when I try to delete a mod by unsubscribing from the mod.io broswer interface on steam it keeps staying in the game even if I delete it in the files folder (I have tried both in FSD/Saved and C:\Users\Public\mod.io ) each time they re-download, same thing to install new ones I subscribe to the mod but it never gets installed. So to now I am stuck with unwanted mods that not even some of them work, on mod.io I unsubscribed from all mods.

Please help me I've been trying for days to fix this I'm going crazy

[heady sleet]

is there a sandbox infinite ammo mod?

i can only find a mod that doubles ammo

[vestal aspen]

Sandbox utilities let's you resupply at will

[vestal aspen]

Try launching the game with -disablemodding launch setting and then without

[heady sleet]

thanks ill try that

[wild path]

Maybe a mod is conflicting with others?

[grave sparrow]

Does anyone play with 4+ players? I only found one of them and was literally just one, so the mission had 5 dwarfs

[urban compass]

yep. most of the hosts I encountered with that tend to be in CN/HK/JP.

[grave sparrow]

Hmmmmm interesting, most of the time i dont see, unfortunately on BR server i almost dont see ppl using mods

[kindred cedar]

Hello miners!

Im a modder (not a bad one i swear) and im the creator of first custom DRG mode, ARENA!

Its a mode where 3 brave dwarfs fight on one big arena (obviously) against ALL the BOSSES in the game (swarms in the meantime too) at ONCE! On this gamemode you can instantly revive your fellow teammates and you can instantly take resupplies, for fast and intense gameplay. There are two stages of the battle, the warm up stage where you fight 4-5 bosses at once, and then the main stage, pure hell. I already hosted around 50 games of ARENA and almost everyone was saying that it was A TON of fun. So if you’d like to play too just send me a message, and ill send you my steam invite code so you can join the ARENA (Europe).

[One game of this mode takes usually between 30 min - 1,5 hour]

Rock and stone!

Why does it come out as a link

[dusty holly]

because you don't have embed perm

[shell heron]

randomly all were red after playing a misison

[ember pulsar]

Thats fine

Just restart or if it persists delete mod.io folder

[long notch]

how do i mod drg?

[steep trellis]

Press escape while in game, and check the modding tab

It'll be at the top, and from there you can get mods from mod.io through the steam browser, which will open automatically when you hit manage mods

[worldly nimbus]

are you able to mod your game and then play with someone who dosest have mods or has diffret mods

[last axle]

yes...if said mods are verified.

[fleet prism]

Verified mods are clientside so they wont effect other players, approved and sandbox will though

[jaunty plinth]

Could anybody recommend some kind of mod to upgrade autocannon animations, in my opinion they ae a little bit raw

[dusty holly]

No, as this is considered cheating and is against the rules.

[steel storm]

So there's no way to get my progres on pc? My friend told me that save editing is allowed if used for that. Sorry for the mix-up(idk if that's the correct word, English is not my first language)

You can do what you want with your save but talking about cheats in the discord is not allowed, simple as.

[steel storm]

Oh ok, thx for the clarification.

[dusty holly]

[steel storm]

So, technically, I can get my ps progress on PC ? Or am I misunderstanding and will get banned for that?

[dusty holly]

You won't get banned for it

[steel storm]

Ok, thx for helping and sorry for taking up your time.

[dusty holly]

No worries

[topaz spindle]

would this work for xbox as well?

like, moving my drg progress on xbox to PC

Hello! Sorry to add onto someone elses question with my own, but I tried following the steps outlined and got some errors. The files in my Steam folder look a bit different than that shown in the images. Can I get some quick help?

[shell inlet]

No .sav at the end?

[ember loom]

hey, i hope this is the right place to ask regarding this but I have my DRG modded, only cosmetic verified mods so its all client side, but when a friend joins my lobby neither I nor them have the mods enabled and cant enable them

[alpine sleet]

Hi, I bought the game and downloaded 20 mods. The next time I went to download more. But I noticed that it doesn't work. I also can’t delete existing mods. Please help me with this problem.

[mild oracle]

I still standby my old statement of:
"Audio mods make the weapons feel as if they do more dmg"

[ember pulsar]

Delete mod.io folder

And what do you mean by not working

Hello everyone, i have a question:¿What mods are compatible with more players balanced(8 players at the same time)? Im looking for mods to increase the numbers of enemies or more difficulty.

[cursive cloud]

Are fanmade OCs a thing? I haven’t really delved into it but I def can’t seem to find any videos covering modded OCs. Surely they exist?

[loud flame]

Issue: unsubbed to mods, wont go away, subbed to other mods, wont show up. deleted unwanted mod files, still wont go, verified game files, still wont go. What happened? Edit: Fixed it. (steam discussion post above helped)

[honest anchor]

why is it that after launching normal after safe mode EVERY FUYCKING MOD ACTIVATES AT ONCE!?!??! several mods i have conflict! why cant it load the mbut not activate them?

im trying to diagnose which mode fucks up my audio and cant becuase on activation it fucks it up so i cant figure which it is!

and the fuck up persists even when deactivated

[honest anchor]

had to unsubscribe to all my mods, but found it after only 5 tries of reinstalling mods WOOT

[ember pulsar]

Yes they do

Or did at least

Engine update killed quite a bunch of good ones

Like custom vanilla overhaul

Oh well

[true wyvern]

hypothetically if I wanted to make an unmarked modded lobby for the purpose of a little bit of trolling friends, how would one do so? if this is a forbidden subject I said nothing 😶

[shadow wind]

im having an issue where the wardrobe, equipment terminal and accesorie shop are showing the forge background. i have fast forging mod but am not sure that's the cause of the issue

[ember pulsar]

Console

[bronze mulch]

guys , i got a quick question , if anyone could help with a referrence

is there a mod to change or mute the sound of bugs killed ?

like the sound that happens when you kill a bug

[ember pulsar]

Yeah there is

[vestal aspen]

@timid vector what the hell is karl hazard

[timid vector]

dont worry about it

[indigo matrix]

Anyone know if theres a mod to help with framerate whenever we're lithofoaming/driller sludge pump?

[pallid dragon]

Are there any mods that add content like weapons, missions, or interesting enemy types

[pallid dragon]

Probably would find that in one of the particle effect mods

[fleet prism]

missions and enemy types youd have custom hazards, and massive content revise/whatever its called, the shorthand name is MCR, which has custom missions and enemies. afaik there are none that add guns(?), karl mod would be closest which lets you equip any gun and equipment on any dwarf

[vestal aspen]

You're looking at mcr and wrath of hoxxes

[pallid dragon]

Neat

[pallid dragon]

Thank you

[ember pulsar]

MCR

Just because it is drg 3 basically

Bane went over drg 2 straight to 3

Better fps, better gameplay, better content, better everything

Even crashes feel better

If they still exist

[timid vector]

theres only the vanilla crash of too complex cave carvings

but yeah MCR and WOH are great, i wish more people would play in modded lobbies

[green kayak]

hey did someone tried to install drg-mod-integration

[ember pulsar]

What is woh

[timid vector]

wrath of hoxxes

[plain tendon]

are there client side only mods?

or does everyone have to run the same UI mods?

[ember pulsar]

Verified = client side

Also some approved mods have optional tag which means they will be run by host only

[nova hatch]

how do i use the custom mission cheats from the sandbox mod

[valid raven]

So ive had an issue a couple times where all my mods would have to redownload and reinstall and another issue where all my mods would be disabled. im wondering if theres a way to stop this from happening or what causes it.

[cursive cloud]

question about client side modding

if I want to get a mod that helps with a UI concern, like say, the one that has the weapon cooldown around the retical, can I run this on servers with other hosts or does it have to be a server that I am hosting in order for mods to run

thats entirely graphical so i would assume it would stay?

[dusty holly]

If it's verified, you can use it anywhere without troubles.
I suggest you read this to clear things up : https://mod.io/g/drg/r/mod-guidelines-and-status-categories

[cursive cloud]

appreciate it

very new to all this

[fresh olive]

how would i make a mod that replaced mission control voice lines with my own>

[tender coral]

theres a guide on the modding discord on how to do so

[ember pulsar]

With template as well i believe

[plush cloak]

Can someone with modding experience in the game tell me if it's possible to make a mod that filters lobbies with 4 or more dwarves in it out of the server browser? It sounds silly, but there are a lot of modded lobbies floating around that don't use approved mods so the regular filter doesn't stop you from seeing those lobbies. I don't want to play in modded player count lobbies and with how many of those lobbies there are, it's beginning to be a little tedious glancing over to make sure there aren't 4 dwarf icons already.

I'm kind of assuming it'd be feasible and (maybe?) not too difficult, just would like someone with an idea of how modding works in drg to weigh in before I dig too far into things

[fresh olive]

where can i find that?

also is anyone else havimg trouble downloading mods? thjey keep saying packet is invalid, or just dont download.

[fleet prism]

#fan-communities

[long geyser]

what haz6x2 so most ppl play

cuz theres 60 nitra, diversity, and plus

and tbh i have no clue which to do or what they really do

aside from 60 nitra thats simple enough

[rustic hazel]

Regarding the Drilldozer, there's two possible colors for her health bars:
White – 100% health
Red – Between 99% and 1% health

I would love a mod that shows different colors; maybe a traffic light system:
White – 100% health
Green – 99-66% health
Yellow – 65-33% health
Red – 32-1% health

IDK how to create mods 😭 I wish I did though!

[vestal flume]

please tell me theres already a mod that replaces the no ammo voicelines with "i need more boolets"
i would 100% do it because its a simple audio replacement mod; but i would have to wait hours just to install unreal engine

[ember pulsar]

Yeah its possible

But it will be better integrated into some other mod than being separate

[plush cloak]

Like take an existing mod and add that in or what do you mean by that?

Also thanks for confirming

[ancient meteor]

i honestly do not uderstand your question

[long geyser]

nvm

but the question was cuz in custom difficulty there are multiple types of haz6x2s

like 60 nitra esupply, diversity, and plus

at least for the premade difficulties

[ember pulsar]

I mean it would most likely require creating separate lobby browser

Outside of modhub and stuff

So far rancor's rig hud would be the best candidate for addition of 5+ player lobby browsing

[plush cloak]

ah I see what you mean. I do want to clarify I'd be making it to hide lobbies that have 4 or more players in them. i.e. a lobby that is being modded by the host outside of the official mod support like the one i'm hovering over here. Not looking to really modify the ui at all, just force hide lobbies that already have four dwarves like this one

not sure if that makes things easier or harder for me X)

[flat ermine]

is anyone else having a problem with mod.io not showing every subscribed mod?

the list ingame and the list on the site have drastically different mod counts

and even filtering for subscribed mods on the site, it actually doesn't think im subscribed to all of them

i know for a fact i have this installed, but mod.io says im not subscribed

[valid raven]

posting this again because i havent gotten an answer but ive had an issue a couple times where all my mods would have to redownload and reinstall and another issue where all my mods would be disabled. im wondering if theres a way to stop this from happening or what causes it.

[shell inlet]

Exit the game with the escape menu otherwise that will happen regularly

[swift pike]

even when exiting with the escape menu, mod.io would do that for me if i left too swiftly for it's liking

[flat ermine]

Is there a mod out there that adds a more visible indicator for grappling hook recharge?

To the crosshair perhaps

[valid raven]

i see, thank you

[lament remnant]

I wish for the mod that changes the boomerang model into your current pickaxe build

love to see my obnoxiously lit up pickaxe fly through the screen

[ancient pond]

Nuuuu the mod for removing all particles is goneeee. Mah framessss

[ember pulsar]

fx.MaxCPUParticlesPerEmitter=1 fx.MaxNiagaraCPUParticlesPerEmitter=1 fx.MaxNiagaraGPUParticlesSpawnPerFrame=1

0 will render some things like lithofoam invisible

So choose your poison i guess

Oh also i trust you will figure out where to put those lines

[ancient pond]

I will just look at where to put those lines online. Im sure it'll be fine

[lament remnant]

is there a mod out there that lets you decide which foliage to turn off?

I kinda want azure wield to have it's purple grass but I don't want to be practically blind when moving into fungus bog tunnel caves

[ember pulsar]

Yeah there is mod made by nerd but i dont remember the name

Clutter be gone or smth

However i remember there was talk about azure being too easy without foliage

So he might have had changed it

[quaint flare]

hey, why dont my mods work on multiplayer, they are only sound replacement stuff

[ember pulsar]

Because only verified mods work on other servers

Host whatever you want

Its just people rarely join modded lobbies

you can put -disablemodding in the launch options or go through your mods in the modding screen

oh damn how the hell do i have all these mods

thank you

is this like a normal thing in drg lol

being able to equip anything as a scout

to be clear im asking about custom difficulty mod

[stark cobalt]

hi, i hope this is the right channel for this. i'm new to UE and to modding so this might be a dumb question but i noticed FObjectiveMissionIcon GetSecondaryObjectiveIcon(); in headers and was wondering how would I go about fetching missions and having their secondary objectives displayed so I don't have to manually look through all the missions every time and know ahead of time if there's a secondary obj i need.
i would appreciate any pointers into the right direction since i don't want to invest a lot of time into learning unreal while i assume my goal is fairly simple :) thank you in advance and apologies if i missed something ❤️

[vestal aspen]

Simple qol, rancor's rig hud or the doublexp.net website oughta have what you need

[heady sleet]

this was certainly an eventful night

[runic wedge]

I want to create a custom model for vanilla weapon. Is it possible? Do I need any special programming skills? Are there any guides or instructions that can help?

[cursive cloud]

are there any mods that make the UI/hud less cluttered?

got so much on my screen lmao

[civic zodiac]

is there a channel/server for asking if people wanna play more players balanced?

[glad oracle]

#lfg-modded-steam

[heady sleet]

I thought about creating a pvp mod for drg

To make drg smth like quake

[stark cobalt]

Yeah I've seen RH and I'm kinda going off from its example but they haven't implemented the secondary objective icon and I'm having a tough time finding out in which way I need to write the c++ to fetch the icon as a callable property in UE4

I added the image box, i added it to the hud as a variable, and now I need to link it to the game's secondary getter, but idk how🤔🤔

[dapper marten]

So I'm having an odd issue with my game and i don't know if it's mod related or not. Worst part is, it's not every game, so I can't just go through my mods and disable one by one.
Ultimately what happens is that the game freezes for a minute or two but the game actually keeps going, aka joined players don't notice and I still get attacked and downed etc etc.
However: Before the freezing there are signs that the dwarfs stop saying their lines and once the freezing stops the game will play all "missed" voice lines at once.

I tried looking through the comments on mods but didn't find anyone complaining about something similar, so i'm not quite sure if it actually isn't a vanilla isue

[tender coral]

i once had an issue like that, but it was because my disk was failing. check if in those moments you have any unusual hardware activity

not just disk, anything

[ember pulsar]

Possible, there are a couple out there

Real issue is animations

[oblique palm]

Hey is more player mod bugging?

Because its not letting more ppl join, it only saids multiplayer session ended

[pulsar sand]

saw a youtube video of a detonator blowing up and it had the sound effect meme of -lord have mercy im about to buss- .. and i really want that as a mod. i only can find the kek sound mod for them

yes

surprisingly named space rig hotkeys

how do i uninstall mods

i cant uninstall my unused mods

i tried deleting it in the system files and unsubscribing in modio

[acoustic shale]

is anyone online here maybe?

[vapid atlas]

?

[fluid nest]

uhh every time I restart my game it crashes and I’ve got to reinstall every single mod (only some of them are out of date; those mods are Bulldog classic, M1000 Classic, Spaghetti Western Bulldog SFX, the KARL remodel for the CoilGun and the beer selector.
Anyone got any ideas?

[shell inlet]

-DisableModding launch parameter and then turn on disable outdated mods

[torpid cobalt]

the game feels unplayable without the googly glyphids mod

[ember pulsar]

Indeed, very unplayable

Vanilla is so bad that 50+% of players remain on it

[magic condor]

Technically not modding, but I figure here would be the best place to ask
Is there a folder where all the voicelines and/or sound effects can be found

[vestal aspen]

FSD/Content/Audio, but you'll need a program called "umodel" to extract packed audio files

You should check the Basic Modding Guide sections 2.1 and 2.2

[prime turtle]

Is there any way to auto reload cancel? Surprised there isn’t a mod for it or something?

[ember pulsar]

If someone were to make it

Just theoretically speaking ofc

But the author of mod like this will most likely receive a lot of so called "cheat mod" accusations

Brighter objects are a good example

But you can use simple qol to do reload cancel easier

[bleak dagger]

you can still join games with approved mods iirc they just wont be active

[warped parrot]

what is the mod that allows you to view a cave in a spectator-like pov?

[swift pike]

miracle's camera mode is purely spectator view, better spectator has a camera noclip option

[warped parrot]

sorry, could you explain the difference?

[swift pike]

better spectator is for when you're dead, miracles camera lets you join a mission as a "spectator"

[warped parrot]

ahh okok thanks

[swift pike]

actually sandbox utilities also has a freecam mode when you press period, but seems like mira cam has more options for the camera itself

[warped parrot]

im tryin got use sandbox utitilies, how do i access the mod menu during the mission?

like the sandbox utitlies thing

hit whatever your modhub hotkey is, then go to the sandbox utilities menu

i think it's n or h by default

Iirc it spawned in the space rig

[wet sierra]

yeah the rabbits are smaller in the event i think ill double check

[shell inlet]

And the 500 freaking Data cells

How do you actually play on difficulties like 6x2 and such? I have the custom difficulty mod installed but I don't really understand it, and all of the other difficulty mods I've found are out of date

[swift pike]

open modhub, click on custom difficulty, then there's a github with a bunch of presets

copy and paste the whole json into custom difficulty then

[proper wedge]

This link?

are there any mods that move or add an ammo counter closer to the middle of the screen, itd help me relaod cancel to see the ammo count in the middle of a fire fight

a sort of racecar hud where everything closer to it would also work

i've heard it uses custom difficulty but i cant find that code anywhere

it doesnt seem to be on the mod's difficulty presets github page

Reforged and Wrath of Hoxxes

First one is poorly balanced in your favour, second one is poorly balanced in bug's favour

So choose your poison i guess

[lilac fable]

i shall take both and witness chaos unfold

Hey I got a weapon sound replacement mod but im not sure if it's working

Or if I need host for it to work

The damage numbers mod I have works

I just don't know if the weapon sounds mod is client side

[fleet prism]

Is it a verified mod?

As in does it have the tag

[mortal sundial]

hey y'all, I got a question. Is there a way I can change the override position of mods? For example, I have the weapon sound overhaul pack, but I want to replace the leadstorm sound with a seperate mod that makes it a GAU-8 avenger. But it keeps making the weapon sound pack the most important, is there a way I can change that?

[ember pulsar]

No

[mortal sundial]

thas a shame

[ember pulsar]

Indeed

[mortal sundial]

hopefully that becomes a feature eventually

[lilac fable]

tried out mcr decontamination, was really fun lol. did the lowest scaling on haz 4 solo, was definitely a breath of fresh air

gonna try out a large aquarq mission so i can try out the HULE next

[teal mantle]

Pls give me a basic intro to additional content mods (not difficulty mods), since I thought about recent news for while and lost faith in GSG entirely.

(Note, I don't give a damn about new overclock mods, they replace current ones instead of adding new.

I know doing new OCs is probably borderline impossible, but I don't care)

[graceful plume]

whats the name of the haz1x64 mod

i cant find it on modio

[tender coral]

https://mod.io/g/drg/m/custom-difficulty, use the configuration file found in https://github.com/LemonjamesD/DRGCustomDifficulties/blob/main/haz1x64.json

[graceful plume]

oh tysm

[forest sluice]

does client side mods change regular multiplayer with people who dont have the mods?

[quasi raft]

@forest sluice Sometimes, depends on what it is

[forest sluice]

i got 3 which is live missions stat tracker, better explosion range inditcator for drillers c4 and platform placement preview for engineer

[graceful plume]

hollow bough worst biome

[quasi raft]

I don't believe any of those affect clients

[bold totem]

Are there any mods that add new guns?

[ember pulsar]

Technically MCR

[brisk canopy]

I’ve got a question. I’m using the google translated dwarves mod, and i’ve seen when others use it they have working subtitles, but the subtitles in-game show up as something similar to

[Generic_Salute_19]

Is there a way to fix this?

[brisk canopy]

Nevermind, got it to work by restarting the game and enabling the mod again

[thick monolith]

Any recommended QOL mods?
I got a weapon sounds mod, the color palette unlock mod, and a damage numbers mod

Anything else?

I could really do for a headlamp mod, as it's basically useless

[fluid nest]

Anyone have some nice cosmetic mods that you’d recommend?

[thick monolith]

you can check the description too

it has some extra FPS mods

like remove flares, decals, simple azure weald, and simple hollow bough

[heady sleet]

hi

i made a friend buy the game and he likes it but he feels the creature design is boring... any mod to make them look scarier?

[trail python]

hi! since i installed mods i have been having this issue where hair/beards/similar wobbly elements jitter rapidly and constantly. is there a known fix?

[hollow silo]

is this the place to suggest mod ideas?

[floral escarp]

how do i convert a copy of my save into a sandbox save?

[ember pulsar]

No

[ember pulsar]

Also no

[ember pulsar]

Just install sandbox mod and it will suggest to create sandbox save

[trail python]

is there a known cause?

[shadow wind]

something rly wierd just happened

5 people were able to join in a lobby but i(the host) didnt have any mods for more player support

[sharp moon]

so anyone here have the upgraded doretta mod

[fleet prism]

If its unmodded its a bug, afaik its caused by 2 people joining at the same time, its not intended but its fairly rare to have it happeb

[shadow wind]

cool

[ember pulsar]

Just modding system overall iirc

[maiden canyon]

Is the issue with the engineer's icon not changing still a thing?

[serene abyss]

anyone recommend a certain mod?

[ember pulsar]

Shouldn't be

[sharp moon]

upgraded Doretta it gives Doretta turrets deposit slots and pipes

[floral escarp]

So how does progress work in a approved mod?

Like for example, i want to use a couple mods that buff my character and their equipment and i do a bunch of solo content and i come across some cargo crates and open them up

What happens to progress when said mods get turned off when i want to do multiplayer?

[swift pike]

nothing except for achievements

you can't get achievements with approved mods enabled

it's using the same save

[floral escarp]

Ah okay thanks

[harsh wolf]

whats a mod that removes the lower part of the bulldog?

[small horizon]

mod.io's search is kinda bad
https://mod.io/g/drg/m/pingtotext

[last steeple]

appreciate it

[sharp fractal]

Is there a mod that changes the color of the ice effects on the cryo cannon?

[distant raven]

Is there a mod for wider than 120 degree FOV? I thought there was but i just looked and couldn't find it.

[narrow pawn]

I was scrolling through mods and saw one for that https://mod.io/g/drg/m/more-fov

you prolly found it already 🥸

[ember pulsar]

Or you can just change it in config

[trail python]

okay so with the hair jitter issue im a bit curious, does everyone using mods have that issue?

[ember pulsar]

Yep

[umbral shoal]

A question in regards of sandbox mods.
I somewhat remember reading about restrictions for sandbox save files. Found it here now: https://mod.io/g/drg/r/mod-guidelines-and-status-categories
Does the restriction still apply? Playing on a server with active sandbox mod would flag my save as a sandbox making me unable to get achievements and join non sandbox flagged save/server games?

I joined a server with sandbox mod active, it did not prompt me with creating a sandbox save file. I felt restless and quit game before finishing mission. Save file does not seem to be flagged as sandbox save file, so.... did they changed this whole system or why I do not see it here?

[ember pulsar]

Nah it looks like you joined server without even creating sandbox save smh

[umbral shoal]

Yes, how is that so? I saw one of mods being sandbox.

[ember pulsar]

Well if you still can join vanilla lobbies, that means your save isnt sandboxed

As for how - modding integration still causes beards to twitch and caused like 50% fps drops for a whole year

As for why it was chosen - crossplatform support, which is not even used...

[ember pulsar]

So its a mess and there is no choice but to take it as it is

[noble scaffold]

Anyone got some Swarm Control recommendations

starship troopers is getting a bit old

[prime turtle]

Anyone know if there’s a way to get the original sounds for the battaries and helmet, I might make a mod that just increases their volume but I’d need the og sounds

[ember pulsar]

Yeah use fmodel or umodel

[prime turtle]

Either of those work on Linux?

[ember pulsar]

Dunno

[merry pulsar]

Can I show a mod I made here or is that not allowed?

[warm pulsar]

You could try to run them through bottles

[vernal escarp]

are mods confusing? i literally just want brighter resources and platform preview

[ember pulsar]

Wdym, for me your question is confusing

[subtle haven]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GR4A9B8pw_o simple video explainging the whole thing

[idle galleon]

i went and subscribed to a few mods but in game it only shows 2 sgg file mods

anyone know how its supposed to work

[mild zodiac]

So unsure if someone made a mod like this or not but I had a idea for a mod.

Basically it would change all sound effects of pings, enemy sounds & other sounds with more flight or fight inducing sound effects that all dwarves fear (Mactera Grabbers, Bulk Detenators, nemesis & etc.).

I can just imagine how confused & terrified some would be trying to figure out which sounds are legit & which are just to cause you panic.

Thoughts?

[ember pulsar]

Well there is a mod to just trigger bulk shouts at will

Doesnt do much at all

[sullen lodge]

how do I use the custom difficulty mod°?

[sage marsh]

Does anyone have an invite link to the mod-specific DRG server?

[ember pulsar]

#fan-communities i believe

[edgy crystal]

Hello, i am trying to make moreplayers balanced work with some friends but i cant invite the fifth friend when my other 3 friends are on the game, anyway to fix it?

[honest lance]

hey so im messing around with sandbox and, how do i use the force crate or force lost equipment icons? i'm trying to get a look at all the frameworks for the weapons

[floral escarp]

So the 50 mod limit is for multiplayer only?

Because i like playing modded drg solo but i wanted to make sure I don’t break stuff by loading a bunch of stuff in

[lilac fable]

anyone know if MCR missions change the "mission scale" value that affects cargo crate spawns

[shell inlet]

#wiki-related-chatroom message

But yes, it does, so pretty much any mission in MCR that are not baseline values will be the max chance afaik since they are quite literally double to dectuple the baseline of 100 which is turned into a float for chance as a key of 1.00 in the chance curve.

This does not equate a 100% chance, the max occurs at key 2.00 for most things and no longer increases.

This is pretty much 400 Morkite, 8 Eggs, 20 Aquarqs, 4 Mini Mules and anything above.

[lilac fable]

i see, so maximum 15% on pretty much every mission that's longer. gotcha

was wondering if i could grind cargo crates in less total missions with mcr and i suppose that's true lol

was also wondering bc my friends and i did a 16 mule mission and ran into a machine event, cargo crate, and lost pack, so was wondering if we got lucky or if the odds were higher

ty for the answer, also decontamination is super fun

[elfin jacinth]

Quick question: are there any mods which replace all the spiders with less scary creatures? My friend says the game looks good and he'd play it but he has arachnophobia. Any advices welcome.

[ember pulsar]

There were some projects like that

But they ultimately failed

[echo grove]

Googly eyes glyphids mod make the glyphids a bit sillier

also where are all the sounds of the bulk detonator at the game files there's this specific one I can't seem to find unless it's another one which I think it is

[vestal aspen]

https://mod.io/g/drg/m/arachnophobia-mod there's this but idk how well it works, never played with it

[soft moth]

Hello miner, i want to mod my game (i have installed some mod before) but when i clicked subscribe nothing happend, where can be problem?

[echo grove]

check the modding config in your mod window at the space rig, you probably haven't enabled them

[soft moth]

How can i enable not-instaled mods (sorry if i didnt specify it in my previous massage) problems is that it doesnt want to instal, mybe mod.io or my pc have some problems

[echo grove]

Either disable mods not compatible with the game's version or restart the game if the mods couldn't be installed

[echo grove]

with mods not compatible I meant that there's a box usually activated that automatically disables mods that aren't updated to the latest version btw

[soft moth]

Ok thx

[noble lantern]

Hey is anyone here fluent with the shout framework? im working on a mod that replaces MC with someone else

[ember pulsar]

Can give you creator's tag if you want to say his guide is not good enough

[karmic berry]

can you guys teach me how to mod

it's very important

[ember pulsar]

It will be basically impossible to make tbh but you are welcome to try #fan-communities has link to server with guides

Oh btw, 2 best modders tried to make melee weapons and results were pretty bland, as for model swap, animations will break as well as hitboxes, thats why there are no size changing models for dwarfs

So i would recommend just going down the voice line replacement path since it technically fits the purpose

[rigid canopy]

Quick question, is there any similar mods to display events

[viscid jungle]

Dose anyone know if there is a mod that lets you track the duration of iron will? Would be super nice

I don't mean the 13(?) second duration I mean how much time you have left in it

[fleet prism]

They exist, this one is awaiting verification https://mod.io/g/drg/m/iron-will-duration

Only thing you can do in the meantime is wait for a mod.io mod to have the spare time to look at it

[viscid jungle]

Oh sweet

Thanks for the help

[ember pulsar]

Modder forgot to even place aimed for verified tag

So it will take forever until he decides to do it

[rigid canopy]

https://mod.io/g/drg/m/displayevents

This is the mod Im talking about, this has stopped working in S4
Is there a similar one or an updated one??

[vestal aspen]

It works fine for me in s4

You need to uncheck "auto-disable outdated mods"

[heady sleet]

is there a mod that changes the coil gun ammo count to what it actually is?

I hate that it's a big arbitrary number

[ember pulsar]

Yes there is

[rigid canopy]

Yo thanks so much

[slender grotto]

I have read the Blueprints guide made by buckminsterfullerene , now I have somewhat better understanding of how modding using blueprints work, but I still dont know how to integrate Mod Hub menu into my mod (I wonder if there is a tutorial for that that I have missed) and just making blueprints on my own, I still dont think I can construct my own Blueprint 🫥
I need to make a blueprint that toggles a particle on or off depending on if its checked or unchecked in Mod Hub menu

[sharp mortar]

would anyone be so kind to tell me if the drg mods are saved in a file on my computer somewhere, and if so location?

[shell inlet]

C:\Users\Public\mod.io\2475\mods

[sharp mortar]

is it ok to manually nuke the foilders in the "mods" file?

the game is telling me that I have mods and I cannot join peoples games even tho I do not have them on, just want to nuke them all together

...sigh ok, well it just tries to re-download them if you nuke the foilder

[shell inlet]

probaby have them in your paks folder then

[sharp mortar]

umm what, where is that one at? Thankyou for the help btw

[shell inlet]

E:\Steam\steamapps\common\Deep Rock Galactic\FSD\Content\Paks

substitute with your install directory

should only have FSD-WindowsNoEditor.pak in it

[sharp mortar]

So by removing the files in the "C:\Users\Public\mod.io\2475\mods" area and the "FSD-WindowsNoEditor.pak" file it should nuke all the mods showing up in the game in the Mods area correct?

[shell inlet]

you want FSD-WindowsNoEditor.pak as it is the game

[echo grove]

I'm trying to extract the sound files for the Bulk Detonator but uhh there's two of them that don't seem to get extracted properly for some reason? (growl sounds) Does anyone know how to extract them because literally almost any other file works but these ones just won't and I need them 😭

[jagged lake]

Hello modding community

I'm pretty experienced at this point but I want to look for a group to take me under their wing for haz6x2

I don't wanna rush in solo

Where can I find it

[ember pulsar]

On modding server

In modhub section

[unique ruin]

hello all, how hard is to make new dreadnaughts

i was thinking about a machtera dreadnought

[dusty holly]

You're gonna need a new model, new animations and lot of coding.
Good luck.

[unique ruin]

also how hard would it be to make new mission types

i have some ideas on how to make a new rival mission and a new bug mission

if anyone is interested in trying to make something like this please hit me up

i have no moding experience in regards to deep rock but i am a game designer

[dusty holly]

for modding, you'll probably get more ressources and help from the modding discord in #fan-communities

[pearl tide]

got a little problem joining a friends modded game, it says that there's "hidden mods" installed, any help?

[ember pulsar]

Impossible without prior experience

You can like repaint/resize them and do other minor tweaks with moderate effort

But nothing more on beginner level

[grim crater]

Is there a reason I've been seeing more modded lobbies in the unmodded server list recently? I have approved, sandbox, and modded servers off, but I still see a bunch with custom difficulty or player number in the description when I'm just looking for vanilla. Is this how its supposed to be?

[small python]

anyone know what mod this is? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEaDxNNGoYM&t=1m14s

the epc hand thing

[ember pulsar]

Perhaps hosts just forget to change it when they turn them off

[small horizon]

https://mod.io/g/drg/m/void-power-animations-for-epc

[swift pike]

likely using the new mod loader, or abusing mod support loopholes by messing with paks

[ember pulsar]

Well, he said description so its unlikely

There are like 5 lobbies top with stuff like this at all times

And most of them are CN

[devout trellis]

how did 5 player unmoded happen

im currentlyuhosting an unmoded lobby

[small horizon]

in the default game you can rarely get 5 players if 2 players join at the perfect time

[golden tinsel]

how can i stop an ongoing mod download?

[sharp mason]

Considering getting into DRG modding, can I get qol/client sides mods without impacting what lobbies I can join?

[warm marlin]

hello, can someone send me to where i can start learning to make a mod for this game?
i haven't modded for any other game, is that an issue

[low warren]

Any mods that remove specific creatures from solo missions?

[swift pike]

custom difficulty i'd say is your best bet

there's no mods that outright remove stingtails, but you can easily do it via cd

i believe swarm control can also do it, but i've not used that

https://docs.google.com/document/d/131FqOl0FnwiAslvvDSYkV35oBQXYx2kH0oZYwEpjoBI/edit?usp=sharing if you're interested in cd, pages 7-8 detail how to add/remove enemies from pools

all you should have to do is put "ED_Spider_Stinger" in the remove brackets under disruptiveenemies

[low warren]

Ok thanks i will try it, i wanna remove septic spreaders

[swift pike]

oh lol i assumed stingtails

spreaders are "ED_Spider_Lobber"

[tender coral]

there are guides on the modding discord

[warm marlin]

thanks, just found out that existed 🙏

[grim briar]

do you guys think its possible to mod Stalker (cut enemy) into the game?

[dusty holly]

it's already modded into the game via some mods

[grim briar]

can you say what mods are you talking about? cant find anything on mod.io

[sharp moon]

anyone wanna do some upgrades Doretta missions

[small horizon]

you can just insert the stalker into the game via mods like Custom Difficulty, Twitch Integration, and (I think) Swarm Control

[twin harness]

anyone know a mod that lower your weapon view model?

[raw fox]

Hello miners I need help. I have been following the Using the Shout Framework mod tutorial to make a custom mission control. I'm stuck at the end of the guide at the packaging step ever way mentioned in the linked Blueprint mod guide gives me a different error
DRG Modding Automation Scripts gives me this error:
Fatal error: [File:D:/Build/++UE4/Sync/Engine/Source/Runtime/CoreUObject/Private/Misc/PackageName.cpp] [Line: 515] FilenameToLongPackageName failed to convert 'C:/Users/ianwa/AppData/Local/UnrealEngine/4.27/Engine/Content/BasicShapes/Cone.uasset'.

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

[ember pulsar]

Well, it says path is too long so how about changing it to be a bit shorter

And 2nd one sounds like lack of permissions

[raw fox]

do you know a way how i tried moving the file in question and it didnt do much

[ember pulsar]

Because you need to move whole folder?

Also why are you using download folder lol

[raw fox]

idk it was the one automatcally selected

[ember pulsar]

I had some packaging issues back when i began and i solved them by giving admin perms to executables

[ember pulsar]

Then change it

If tips above dont help visit modding discord

alright ty

[severe wolf]

[delicate kestrel]

i think the problem he is having is that he doesn't know how to

[fair pagoda]

Wonder how I could mod drg to change mission controls lines and sprite

[tender coral]

the modding discord may have guides about that

[fair pagoda]

I had a funni idea to replace mission control with glados

[ember pulsar]

Actually it does

[ember pulsar]

Already done tho

With 15.ai or how is that thing called

[merry pulsar]

Gsg please do smth about modding. It's so disappointing the new side loader doesn't have sandboxing so any op/cheaty thing can be used and ppl will get full rewards and xp (I wasn't allowed to mention this a while ago and I asked staff if I could talk about it now and got no response so I hope it's not against the rules)

[halcyon bobcat]

real question but why does people getting full rewards matter

[warm pulsar]

There is no one employeed by GSG at the moment to manage the modding system and there hasn't been for a while. What you have is what you're going to have for a while. If those folks want to cheat progression and ruin it for themselves, let them. Who cares?

[merry pulsar]

There's usually guidelines since there's mods to increase event changes

[merry pulsar]

I've been told who cares a lot but I really hope smth gets done

[halcyon bobcat]

right but why does it matter? they're not ruining it for anyone else

even in the really silly cases where someone gets like 4000 magnite in a single game, it's not like you can't sell it or just roll the save back

[merry pulsar]

Ik but it's the equivalent of a publicly available hack client

[merry pulsar]

Wdym?

[halcyon bobcat]

I'm asking why it matters that people can cheat 5000 minerals into their own game

[maiden abyss]

It literally does not matter. Let people play how they want to play. Nobody is forcing you to use mods you don't want to use or play in modded lobbies

[dusty holly]

The issue is that unsuspecting players might get extra stuff they don't want but there are solutions against that.

[halcyon bobcat]

in most of these cases anyways there are other sideloading methods, so cracking down on this one wouldn't solve it

[merry pulsar]

I'm asking that gsg please do smth so there isn't smth that's the equivalent of a publicly available hack especially since gsg has guidelines on place showing they don't want it

[merry pulsar]

Not anymore sadly

New side loader has no samdboxing

[dusty holly]

Wdym not anymore ? the restore save option still exist.

[halcyon bobcat]

do they actually? because mod.io has not received support in a very long time; it's the primary reason Mint is a thing at all

[warm pulsar]

There is no one employed by GSG at the moment to manage the modding system

[merry pulsar]

Yes I've uploaded a few mods and read their guidelines about modifying certain things

[merry pulsar]

Sorry may have misunderstood you

[dusty holly]

the only thing GSG cares about is people not spreading cheats on their reddit, discord and steam forums.

Beyond that, they don't care.

meant to write cheats 😂

[halcyon bobcat]

I also just don't really see the issue with people hacking a bunch of benefits into their game. it's their game, why does it matter?

[merry pulsar]

What if it's mods the equivalent of cheats?

[halcyon bobcat]

if this were PvP it'd be different but you can pretty easily leave games just like you can join them

[dusty holly]

As long as you're not advertising cheating methods, it's unimportant

[merry pulsar]

Matters because the game has a progression system for a reason and gsg has guidelines showing they don't want mods to insta grant every reward and such so I really hope they go back to sandboxing. I get you dont care but I like using mods and a lot of times the devs help them balance it on the discord but with this new change many will be very op making me not want to use certain mods so personally matters to me and I see nothing wrong with asking smth of gsg

[halcyon bobcat]

also Mint appends [Modded] to any server that you have that has an Approved/Sandbox mod, so if you're worried about that sort of thing just pay attention to the title

[halcyon bobcat]

the game progression system is routinely panned by even the testers. I don't think this is a strong argument at all

[merry pulsar]

I just wanna be able to browse and subscribe to mods that aren't op

[halcyon bobcat]

if someone says they want to use mods to get all the cosmetic cores I don't care a whit

[maiden abyss]

Trying to force everyone to play the game how YOU want them to play is not very rock n stone

[halcyon bobcat]

you can do that just fine already

[merry pulsar]

Dude I just want it to be following the gsg modding guidelines that's not "forcing" anything it'd just limiting the blatantly op stuff. There's a lot of reedom in changing values and adding new content

[manic maple]

Is there a mod out there that add numbers to the healthbars of the bugs?

[merry pulsar]

Currently yes but like I said that's gonna change now that there won't be any samdboxxing. A lot of talented ppl start modding without balancing things

[dusty holly]

why does it matter to you so much what other people do ?

[merry pulsar]

I belive one was released recently

[halcyon bobcat]

any mods that change the gameplay are already classified as Approved. basically anything that isn't balanced is already Sandbox. that won't change how people make mods

actually, scratch that, basically anything that isn't absurd is already Approved

[merry pulsar]

I'm just hoping there's sandboxing in the sideloader. I will miss the charm of ppl trying to balance stuff in unique ways and would appreciate I not get told "why do you care" so much. I'm here and typing skills clearly I care and I gave a few reasons why

[warm pulsar]

What if I told you that people were cheating the entire time mod.io was around?

[manic maple]

I just find the one, that shows the numbers of shield and health of yourself.

[halcyon bobcat]

yeah Mint is not the only sideloader at all—just the newest one

[merry pulsar]

Can you reword this please?

[halcyon bobcat]

no. there's Damage Numbers/Damage Text

but there's nothing that adds numbers to the HP bars of bugs

[merry pulsar]

Oh then apologies I thought I saw one

[halcyon bobcat]

mods are not going to change their approval category. if they don't break the game they're already Approved

that isn't going to change

[manic maple]

k, i would love to see the healthvalues, so that i dont have to look for all of them in the wiki 😄

[merry pulsar]

I'm confused.. I'm saying they are changing the approval by completely ignoring all guidelines and the approval system. That's the entire reason I'm asking things

[halcyon bobcat]

but you can already play with Approved mods without your game being sandboxed

[merry pulsar]

So?

If my game is sandboxxed then it's a different save

These won't be a different save tho. It will be their main save

[halcyon bobcat]

I'm not understanding your issue then. modders are still going to stick to approval guidelines because by and large nobody is interested in "click button to instantly kill every bug"

[maiden abyss]

So? It's not your save so maybe mind your own business?

[halcyon bobcat]

I'm just confused at what the problem even is. I get that you want people to play the way you play, but it doesn't really make sense as an issue, because even GSG has tacitly admitted that mod.io is not a good system and gets basically no support

[merry pulsar]

No ppl literally are. I could give you an insanely long list that includes flight, 1 shooting, disabling any inconvenience and 100% crates and rewards

[small horizon]

People were doing that before modding support existed

[halcyon bobcat]

the amount of Sandbox mods pales in comparison to the amount of Verified/Approved ones

[merry pulsar]

Rude, unnecessary and unhelpful

[dusty holly]

The person in charge of looking at the mod support left, that's why it gets no support.

[halcyon bobcat]

yeah, but it's also pretty clear that GSG isn't super interested in getting it more support, either, which I think is justified

[maiden abyss]

It could also be argued that you trying to force your play style on everyone else is rude. I feel there should be no sandboxing system. You feel there should be a sandboxing system. Neither of us are any more right than the other

[merry pulsar]

The point still stands. Can you all please stop downplaying what I'm trying to say with comments like "why do you care" doesn't matter why I'm care I'm just making a request for gsg

[dusty holly]

They'd rather put that dev time elsewhere, for sure.
And right now, not even having someone for that surely doesn't help 😄

[maiden abyss]

We are simply having a debate and so far your only argument from what I can tell is that you want everyone to abide by the way you personally want to play the game

[merry pulsar]

I'm not forcing anything. I'm requesting smth from gsg that ppl dont break the guidelines that gsg has set in place and wants ppl to follow

[maiden abyss]

If gsg cared they would do something about it. You are not the first person to complain. I am fairly certain they don't care since it's a pve game and something that someone does doesn't effect anybody else

[halcyon bobcat]

I don't think I'm asking why you care. I'm asking why it matters more generally. GSG doesn't even want to put in the time and effort for this themselves (which, again, is justified—but doesn't help your case)

[merry pulsar]

You're ignoring everything I've said so I'm gonna try again maybe I'm not good at wording things. I'm hoping gsg gets the side loader to use their guidelines that they made to prevent cheaty stuff cuz obviously they don't want that and don't. I understand they may not care enough to do smth but I do hope they change their mind on that. Weather it affects me or not asking that their not a button you click to have the equivalent of a hack client is not an unreasonable request

[halcyon bobcat]

why you care personally is evident. why it matters is not

[dusty holly]

They're not going to - because they don't care enough for that.

For a wide range of reasons which we debated a bit earlier in here.

[merry pulsar]

And I gave you reasons why it matters

[merry pulsar]

Ah alright

[halcyon bobcat]

a lot of this is a moot point anyways—Mint tags all servers with approved mods as "[Modded]" so it's not even running into the issue that @dusty holly described earlier where people could unwittingly join servers they didn't want to play

[dusty holly]

Wasn't aware Mint was doing that btw but it's great that it does

[halcyon bobcat]

no, you gave us reasons why you want it to be changed, not why it should impact how GSG thinks of modding

[halcyon bobcat]

yeah, I would have to specifically check whether it's Approved + Sandbox or all mods in general but I do know it tags at least the former

[merry pulsar]

Ik it's not perfect or even that good but ppl tried to balance their shit with a "50% rule" and it was so cool to see them find unique ways to nerf one aspect and buff another or rework guns into new guns. Mad respect for ppl who tried hard to balance shit when they enforced the guidelines. They also talked to devs when balancing on the discord and it gave them new ideas and new balancing info

It was so cool the community did that and I'll miss it

[dusty holly]

btw for obvious reasons, I'm gonna have to delete this, hope you understand ❤️

[small horizon]

Oh I wasn't thinking. Yeah I get it

[maiden abyss]

Just play your game how you want to play it man that's one of the many beautiful things about this game.

[small horizon]

Sorry pounce

[dusty holly]

No worries, it was a good explanation, I'd just rather not having hang around.

[halcyon bobcat]

the "50% rule" has always been a rule of thumb and not at all a set guideline, and which approval person you get matters a lot to approval, because the game has no guidelines on "changing this aspect of gameplay puts it into Sandbox"

[small horizon]

People are still doing balance work in their mods.

This has not disappeared

[halcyon bobcat]

but again this issue is irrelevant to conversations about modding so

[merry pulsar]

My reasons were
-drg will be a game players have every item by doing very little from mods on their regular save
-it conflicts with the guidelines

[merry pulsar]

A lot of ppl have insanely badass modding skills but don't take the time to even check the dps or dot making some builds get hundreds of more dmg in short periods of time

[small horizon]

What mod?

[halcyon bobcat]

why is #1 an issue? everyone dislikes the progression system, it's made to artificially pad the game out

#2 is self-evidently not an issue because even GSG doesn't want to touch them anymore

[small horizon]

You keep saying this is happening but like

Where

[halcyon bobcat]

like the game is not going to get fewer sales because players can get all the OCs more easily (in fact it's more likely to get more sales)

[merry pulsar]

-that's opinionated that "everyone hates the progression system" how can you use smth so vague to justify why I think the progression system shouldn't be cheated? According to you what we think doesn't matter

-is this confirmed they won't ever touch modding again? Cuz they reply to mods and say they will mention or feature them still

[small horizon]

Like Idk. I don't think I should have even asked. What you want is anti cheat but just for modding which to me is a very fruitless thing for both the devs and for the users

[merry pulsar]

I could type you a list but I don't think you want that

[halcyon bobcat]

I don't actually know of anyone who thinks the OC grind is reasonable and rational and can be done in a short amount of time. unless you play 8 hours a day there is no way to get OCs faster than a few months

[small horizon]

The current system has been broken and fruitless enough

[merry pulsar]

I've found so many ways to 1-2 shot things sadly

[halcyon bobcat]

well, it's a PvE game. you would have to show why people cheating progression impacts other players' experiences. it's impossible, of course, because it doesn't

[merry pulsar]

It's still an opinion. I don't like it either and I like mods that make it easier but an oc event 100% time with God teir jet boots, triple shield and 1 shotting with the click of a subscription button is too far imo

[halcyon bobcat]

the only way you could argue this is by saying "well knowing that someone cheats their progression makes me mad"

[halcyon bobcat]

why does it matter how someone else plays

if they want to play like that, what's the issue

[merry pulsar]

I already answered this twice.. and said I don't appreciate this

Cmon

[halcyon bobcat]

no, and again, you explained why you don't like it, not why it matters

the progression system is extremely flawed and it's been acknowledged even by testers

[merry pulsar]

💀

[merry pulsar]

So? Doesn't mean it should be bypassed entirely

[halcyon bobcat]

let me turn it around on you—why are you holding up the progression system as a paragon of perfection

in other words why is it inviolable and sacred

"because it's in the game" is not sufficient, IMO

[merry pulsar]

I feel like you're unnecessarily being harsh or overly specific on me for no real reason other than putting down what I have to say

[halcyon bobcat]

I don't think so, but others may disagree

[merry pulsar]

I said I disliked it and support mods to make it easier

As well as a variety

[halcyon bobcat]

then why are we criticizing people who knowingly bypass the progression system?

[merry pulsar]

All awesome imo

[merry pulsar]

It's ppl who bypass the entire system in a few rounds with mods using insanely high values

[halcyon bobcat]

and why is that different from people who make it just a little bit easier for themselves

[maiden abyss]

Once again it's just a simple debate. You feel like everyone should have to abide by a progression system. We feel like people should have an option. Neither are any more right than the other. People can and should be able to play how they want

[merry pulsar]

Also wasn't aware someone asked this before me

[merry pulsar]

Yesh but my reasoning has a guideline behind it

[merry pulsar]

A little easier is expending more of the intended progression system

[halcyon bobcat]

that implies there's a point at which it becomes no longer acceptable to do so. when is that point

[merry pulsar]

Entirely bypassing is ppl playing the game less and getting more which could potentially demotivate them to play since it's easy to obtain everything

[halcyon bobcat]

okay, and so what if they demotivate themselves

they spent the money on the game

[merry pulsar]

There's guidelines to specify values and why are you even being so insanely overspecific with me? I hope I didn't do smth to offend you but it's getting kinda uncalled for

[halcyon bobcat]

anything that affects progression is Sandbox anyways

[merry pulsar]

Not anymore unfortunately

New side loader has no sandboxing

That's why I'm here.. THE ENTIRE REASON IM TALKING RN TwT
