if someone wants to use the kill all button of the custom enemy cap to speedrun empty missions, who cares

#

sounds like such a boring way to play and i doubt anyone is doing that

question regarding MOTD mod
this setting is a bit confusing to me, does it need to be OFF so that clients can see the message? Because it's ON by default

honest nacelle
#

if you want MOTD to kick in (only for you) while you're in someone else's lobby, uncheck the box

got it, thanks

👌

#

So this might be a tall order, but how do you make a mod that replaces certain sounds, like weapons and such?

they got resources there

I really hope someone is making a mod that adds more overclocks

Really dig the description for Lethal Tempo

#

Is there a mod for more loadout slots?

#

We could really use more of 'em

It's frequently requested but not really possible with the mod tools available right now

#

Turns out the GK2's bullets are hilariously small compared to the magazine

#

...and the barrel diameter

#

So because the model originally doesn't have any visible bullets, I had to take some... creative liberties

is there a mod that shows your team mates inventories?

No.

the garand sound mod sounds like a slap ngl

grand spade
#

i have a mode that would be visusal and voice but i cant mode is someone could make it so during drilldozzer missions to replace the drilldozzer with the bagers from avitar the last airbender that would be cool

honest nacelle
#

if it's just sfx it shouldn't be too hard

#

but visual oooooooooof

#

you need to make the model, the textures, the rigging, the animation

grand spade
#

ya did not think of that

#

just thought it would be funny to see but you are right that would be alot of work

honest nacelle
#

An Appa-themed skin for the dozer is more plausible

Quick question, what would i use to edit a mod?

#

Hey, Not sure if this is the best place but Im wondering if there is any way to get the sandbox tag removed from my save? I didnt realize it would make the save ineligible for achieves?

#

I really only used stuff like shiny fossils and some wonky mods, I didnt powerlevel or anything nutty

warm pulsar
opal pivot
#

In DRG are the texture files just Unreal Engine doing it itself, or is there some way I could access the textures files. Ex: Getting BET-C's texture file.

vivid fractal
#

iirc correctly, you can decompile the pak and access the file.

#

but im far from experienced so like, Dont listen to me if anyone else more skilled can get back to you lol

#

I'd be super curious if someone could tell me if my game is showing up in the Deep Dive list right now (Named: "Jeslis - More Bugs, More Fun.")
This is not an LFG, You don't need to join. I just want to confirm its showing up as no one has joined in ~45 minutes of sitting in the spacerig.

shell inlet
#

Modded?

stoic spruce
#

yesm

shell inlet
#

So not sandbox?

stoic spruce
#

Correct - Approved.

#

IIRC if I was sandbox, it would be labeled somewhere here, correct?

unknown.png
#

Sorry; just made another backup as I realized it has been a bit.. re-hosted/listed if you are able to confirm its showing up?

shell inlet

Thank you!

I installed the 'skibidi bop mm dada exploders' and I love it
And I think bulks deserve some attention aswell because after all they're just big exploders 👀

#

And the exploders are already loud as hell so bulks would probably be a real earrape

i got the brain fart loot bug

it works on exploders

#

Hey so if I have one of the armor and weapon skin choice expanders enabled, what do other players see as my skin when using a non-standard skin?

honest nacelle
#

no

#

afaik it's client side only

jolly hamlet
#

Right I understand, but I've selected something that is not visible to other players, so what do they see instead

#

Does it just default to the standard skin? Is it whatever previous skin I had on?

honest nacelle
#

oh wait

#

the one by bongo, yes

#

other players can see em

normal galleon
#

I'm still surprised there's still no extra loadout mods

small horizon
#

it's apparently heavily integrated into the save file so it's either hard and no one has figured out how or it isn't possible

shell inlet
#

You can edit your save file to have more than 3, but in-game it is not supported since the widgets aren't made for it.

narrow silo
#

the auto modded system is really unpog

#

having visual mods be classified as sandbox

#

and other, actual game changing mods be approved

warm pulsar
#

If only there was some kind of documentation or guide that explained the categories and approval process that was easily accessible to anyone using the mod.io platform.

small horizon
narrow silo
#

the loose cannon mod is listed as sandbox

#

but only applies visual and audio changes

small horizon
#

the system is supposed to automatically allow audio and visual mods to be verified, but something that changes is not being allowed by the system. the mod author needs to contact someone about it

#

it's the only one i know of with this issue

narrow silo
#

and then mods like dig faster (makes playing the game much faster, which in then affects progression) is approved

small horizon
#

the devs approved that manually then

#

the only stuff that's automatically checked by the game is visual/audio stuff

weak maple
#

Its like the reduced ragdoll duration mods. Those are visual only but the setting inside to reduce the duration is inside an “ENE_” prefixed file which stands for Enemy. These files also control the enemys Hp, etc… so the mod didnt get automatically verified because it touched those files despite being visual only changes

i subbed to some mods and did everything right but mods are not showing up in the mod manager is there any ways to solve it since it keeps telling me to log into mod.io in game

just had to deleete my mod.io folder

#

Just to double check I understand this correctly - Verified mods are ones that I can play with as normal, Approved mods are ones where I have to used LFG-modded but still get levels and stuff?

does the pickaxe next to a name means the player is modding?

Alright, that's also in the shopping list now. Thanks!

also you need blueprint mod manager or legacybp modloader for it

Whenever I'm trying to download any mod, specifically blueprint mod manager, the main mod page on drg just loads forever and nothing happens. I saw that the problem could be that I had a mod.io account before I had downloaded drg on steam. Any help would be appreciated

I haved the models somewhere I think, I was looking to get some of the crafted beer mug and foam textures and just play around with the colours to begin with

but if it's not doable then very sad times

I tried UModel and RenderDoc -- even though I didn't expect either of them to work -- I've used them in the past for other modding projects like with Killing Floor 2 for example

but I had no luck there. Only thing uModel could export was the beer labels, which I already had

@peak crypt Try these:

  1. unsub to all mods on modio site and delete account
  2. launch game with -disablemodding in launch options
  3. exit to desktop and delete -disablemodding from launch options
  4. go to "C:\Users\YourUser\AppData\Local" delete modio folder
  5. go to "C:\Users\Public" delete modio folder
  6. (Check "C:\ProgramData" and see if there's a modio folder, if there is - then delete it)
  7. launch the game

what's a good modlist to play solo

because I haven't actually played any actual modded (except some cosmetic mods) and i want to try it

so far Ive got starship troopers, and some ammo mods

I would love a mod that's similar to upgradable Doretta, that lets you add 1 equipment feature to the top of the MULE. I could easily see this being doable. Turret, bright light, azureweild sheild regenerator, Gunner shield. Could be cool!

"Approved" means it's approved for progression? As in, I don't need to create another save to use them on?

#

Wait, some of these change weapon stats. No way that's cool for progression, I assume.

The only ones you can't use on your normal save are sandbox.

Most of the buffs for approved mods are only small tweaks. The bad shit crazy ones are all sandbox.

Hello guys! Rock and stone!

#

Questions about modding are landing here?

#

Well, I'll ask the question

#

In my all sessions (230 or like that) was one unique mission. The uniqueness was in size of this mission. Cave was huge, i mean, HUGE. There was about 2 or 3 kilometers from the start to last room, and there also were all events that were possible: Cargo crate, lost rucksack, Tyrant, machine event, BET-C, error cube, commressed gold and other things i forgot.
The question is: is it possible to make mod that generates THAT HUGE caves every time you go on a mission (or even make it as yellow mission modificator)?
There also was fine bug: drop pod landed that far that even Mule werent able to reach it in 5 minutes.
Hopefully our driller made a way and Mule changed his direction to our tunnel.

#

So, I understand that modders are not fairies and my wish to see mod inspired by my question will never come true, but I at least want to know: is that thing possible to be made? And is it possible to make that as yellow type modifation (such as "Low gravity" or "Gold Rush")

clear valley
#

is there any mod for a blue hair color to match scouts blue?

#

Everyone has a color to match their theme except poor ol scout

winged urchin
honest nacelle
#

If you do make one, please make it adjustable 😂 I like long but not absurdly long lol

winged urchin
#

Lmao I'll try, but that feature escalates it from a hex mod (open a file and change some numbers, maybe letters too if you're feeling adventurous) to a blueprint mod (actually use brain to create stuff in Unreal Engine), so gets harder. That said, I'm finally learning BP modding, so this could definitely go on the list... after I finish Cave Leech Clusterfuck 2.0: The ReFuckening

@green cloak what's cvo cryo cannon like?

#

i havent played with CVO yet

honest nacelle
#

cryo in general got a nerf from 3x damage to 2.5x

small horizon
#

oh wait was it you that mentioned it?

honest nacelle
#

nah not me who mentioned it

small horizon
#

ah i was worried i pinged the wrong person

honest nacelle
#

cryo cannon freezes slower, radiance got basically halved

#

but it's still good

green cloak
#

Thanks, didn't notice your ping

honest nacelle
#

that's how strong cryo is 😂

green cloak
#

It's good, not broken

small horizon
#

a lot of these changes are the things I've been wanting for cryo for a while

I'd argue CVO flamer is broken lol

Granted, I only tried it out solo

i mean yeah i dunno if i'd have touched base ammo after tuning down t4 ammo but i like the ideas here

it's like saying 40/60 nitra resup needs a nerf

fading orchid
#

well thats different

#

the light hacks mod was in sandbox

#

because it was overpowered

#

light hacks simply shouldnt be allowed on an approved save, let alone a verified mod

#

you shouldnt be able to do this lol

honest nacelle
#

light hacks?

fading orchid
#

yeah

#

i forget what it was called

honest nacelle
#

you mean... Let There Be Light?

but the description was literally just "Light Hax."

i dont remembrer

honest nacelle

then that ain't it

warm pulsar

#

if you're concerned about it, maybe talk to arcticecho about it on the modding discord or something

ah loan beat me to it

id rather let the author know because its an awesome mod

#

it doesnt deserve to get reported for something thats probably an oversight

#

idk how to find someone to dm them

#

can anyone send me a link to their account.?

#

or smth

honest nacelle
#

orrrrrrrrr just comment on the mod.io page

winged urchin
#

But also not sure it really needs the nerf - sure he could set an arbitrary cap on it, but I don't think super visibility is progression breaking

small horizon
#

you can always search their name and find a message they sent and dm from there

winged urchin
#

Tbh not sure why Let There Be Light is in sandbox

#

Oh if you're having trouble finding him I can just let him know

#

The darkness is a major balence mechanic in DRG, a lot of gameplay elements are based on it

make exploders flashbang you

Oh god CLC with flashbang leeches

i was going to make a half life 1 weapon sound replacement mod but its too much work

small horizon
#

there's a suggestion channel in the modding discord, you can always throw it in there and see who is interested

fading orchid
#

worth a shot

shell inlet
#

It's because we needed more sandwich storage, so we no longer accept suggestions.

winged urchin
#

Lmao yeah I put all my audio mod ideas there, I'm too busy drinking working on other mods to learn audio for now

small horizon
#

it's like suggestions here: it's basically useless but there's a .1% chance someone will see it and do it

#

which is better than 0

fading orchid
#

still worth a shot

#

ill probably do it at some point

#

its just so much work for such a small mod

winged urchin
#

You'd be surprised, I read all the suggestions and have a list of ones to revisit when I have the time and requisite skills

#

I've already made a few off of there iirc

Guys, how do you solve problem with switching CVO? Like, when I want to go on server without mods or without CVO, I have to switch it off manually cuz some modifications on weapon got switched off by themself. How to solve it?

#

@winged urchin Thanks again

winged urchin
#

Ronk n stonk!

honest nacelle
#

I just live with it tbh

#

Or disabled cvo, change that one load out you gonna use, then join the unmodded server

#

Only other easy way is probs have two save files 😂

small horizon
#

I think that That Goddamn Scout made a separate save file

#

But that would probably hurt to do if you're not like... done with getting everything in vanilla lol

#

oh maple said that

#

im fool

#

i reed gud

restive plover
#

Well, if i'll use two different configurations (A for CVO and B for default), then after switching CVO off:
A)I choose B configuration, everything in B is fine, but after enabling CVO back in A configuration is total mess;
B)Reversed situation, A config is ok, but B messed up;
C)Everything messed up whenever mod switching on and off;
D)Everything works nice and clear (dont belkieve in that option though).
What do you think about it?

Question. How is audio modding? Difficult at all? I've made audio mods for games like Blade and Sorcery like voicepacks and audio mods for Left 4 Dead 2 but wanted to be sure what I'd be getting into if I was to do it

small horizon
#

overall i'd say it's pretty accessible tho, and there's a good guide on the modding discord

tall vortex
#

It doesn't sound...Too bad. But I would need to look up a guide to know what I'm properly digging into. If its as simple as setting the audio files in the right place and making it connect, I'd say I could probably make a few audio mods

you can def do it, i wouldn't worry. there's a good guide in the modding discord (link in #fan-communities) and a text version of the same guide on drg.mod.io

did anyone had an issue where DRG didn't download any mods despite being logged in though the steam browser with a steam account linked?

@dense shadow what's problem?

dense shadow
#

well the mods aren't appearing like (I think) they should

I think I've done everything necessary

gaunt locust

check "Steam\steamapps\common\Deep Rock Galactic\FSD\Content\Paks" see if there's any mod .pak folder and delete it (not FSD-WindowsNoEditor)

yea there's only one other file which is the mod I'm working on

gaunt locust

oh wait i see it in your list

#

hm...

#

not sure what the issue is then

#

sorry for the ping

dense shadow
#

yea it should work fine, but it just doesn't for some reason

#

maybe it has to do something with me merging my mod.io account with my other mod.io account created by accident when I logged-in with my Steam acc once

shell inlet
#

It only works in mission and if you aren't using instant mission land

small horizon
#

they're having a larger issue of the mods not appearing at all

dense shadow
#

ok so after leaving it for 10 minutes the mods still aren't appearing so I don't think it's a slow load process or anything like that

small horizon
#

i know this is annoying but maybe try these steps:

#

it usually helps people restore mods appearing

dense shadow
#

oh damn I guess my mod has to go bye bye for a sec there

#

do I really have to delete my account?

small horizon
#

you can move your mod somewhere safe for now

#

if you don't want to delete account, maybe try all the steps above but without deleting the account and see if it does anything for you

#

so just unsubbing from all mods for step 1

#

then the rest

it worked without deleting my acc!!!

Hey folks. Re-installed my game today on steam and when it loaded my main save had been completely wiped. My previous accounts modded file is there under "Sandbox" but my "Main Save" has been wiped clean.

I looked into the "Saves" folder but all of the profiles were created today as of 10/06/21

does it give you any non-sandbox saves?

Curious question: Does the need of updating mods (for a modder) arise every hotfix? Or when are they no longer compatible?

#

Also, does this mean a modder has to constantly update his mods for all eternity?

scarlet obsidian
#

Yeah is it this particular mod support update hotfix that will require everyone to update their mod, or is it every hotfix. Because if it's the latter that's gonna be a real pain Oof

#

When I reactivated all my mods they do seem to work

compact cloak
#

It's every hotfix. But if I was a modder I would just wait till hotfixing periods are over.

#

Keep in mind, you can still enable a mod that's tagged with a different game version. It's not like we're barring you entirely from playing with out-of-date mods.

scarlet obsidian
#

But if I was a modder I would just wait till hotfixing periods are over.
This can sometimes be weeks/months, thats a long time to go without a mod for something 😦 but yeah if it still works the only pain on the user side is just re-enabling it upon every boot

Re: on updating mods to latest version through Mod.io. The in-game version is 1.34.61210; Mod.io doesn't allow you to pick that version, only the 61234 or 59609.

edgy wharf

We just released a hotfix - the new version is 61234

Alright then, I thought it was a desync between Mod.io and DRG versioning or something.

I just marked my mods as updated for the latest version, but the in-game modding menu still shows them as "Old Version" etc.

Yeah, just did that and got everything working.

Okay. So no problem then! Happy to hear.

#

While a lot of things - like downloading and installing can be done from in game - some things just need a full reboot of the game to update. Otherwise we would have to send a ton of checks to mod.io all the time - which should influence performance a whole lot. Don't think anyone is interested in that 🙂

Modders who tagged their mods yesterday with the version that was live - do not have to re-tag today.

Also you can still use mods that hasn't been tagged by its author with the current game version - this is mostly to prevent people from crashing if they have mods enabled and we release a bigger update / update that changes some stuff around.

Probably been asked before, but is there a way to lower the volume of audio mods, they are much louder than the rest of the game and they don't seem to be controlled by the volume bars in-game

I believe that would depend on how the mod was created - if created correctly, the volume sliders should change the volume of the sounds. Nothing you can really do from the user side of things other than complain to the mod maker.

@native peak they'll either be tagged as sandbox on mod.io or be labelled sandbox in game

#

there's a column on the left side of the modding menu where your mods are

says verified, approved, sandbox depending on what it is

#

it also prompts you if you've enabled sandbox mods so you can cancel and stay on your main save

native peak
#

okay

#

so approved/verf are not sandbox

small horizon
#

yeah, verified are usually cosmetic and can be used anywhere, approved mods are more gameplay changing but can also be used on your main save

#

if you're confused about the categories, there's a pinned message in this channel that explains them

#

i cant trust the verified mods cus one of them adds flairs and doubles flare recharge which is a base gameplay mechanic

like thats not cosmetic

what? which one?

lone pasture

whats the difference between the two?

im kinda dumb

like if its gameplay changing wont that disable achievments and other such things?

small horizon

there's a pinned message in this channel that explains them in more detail but basically
Verified: cosmetic/minor, can use them anywhere and they're usually only seen by you
Approved: gameplay changes/changes that require all to download on join but they can be used with your normal save
Sandbox: big changes, can only be used in sandbox mode

mods are automatically updated by mod.io when the mod author uploads. rn, mod authors need to tag their mods for the current version. just ignore the warnings rn and reenable your mods and uncheck the box about warnings so you don't get warned again

when we get close to u35, it might be good to reenable the auto-disabling of unupdated mods

you have to download it by subscribing and launching the game rn

hey so if i had a sanbox save due to a mod that is now approved and have a shit ton of progress on it can it be turned into a regular save by staff or is there another way

warm pulsar
#

Yes, they can do it, generally when it’s sandbox as the result of a bug. No, they likely won’t in your case because doing that for everyone would defeat the entire purpose of the sandbox save being separate from the regular save. You’re more than welcome to ask though. In the future, wait for mods to achieve their appropriate category before using them for progression.

glacial oak
warm pulsar
#

Is this your main save that’s sandbox or a separate save slot? Gotta be as specific as possible.

livid willow

why do people always leave my lobbies when they find out I didn't use the mods to buff the shit out of players I used them to buff enemy spawn rates

glacial oak
#

so i continued on

warm pulsar
#

If your main save is sandbox then see pinned messages for FAQ in #bug-discussion

glacial oak
#

like my modded save has all the progress and my unmodded save is a player lvl one with nothing

warm pulsar
#

You're giving me conflicting answers. Is your main save, the one that says main in the save manager, listed as sandbox or not? Is your main save the one with or without the progress you have acquired?

glacial oak
#

bruh i meant the save i play on w progress the official main save that is unmodded is a lvl 1

warm pulsar
#

You should have specified then. There is no way for normal users to convert sandbox saves to their main save. That would defeat the entire purpose of the system.

glacial oak
plush geode
#

Using mods from the sandbox category creates that save branch that can then be used/modified without effecting your other saves for progression or bugs/corruption. Once created being able to merge it back to a standard save would defeat the purpose, protections and flexibility of the system. There should be a tag next to your name indicating if you are using your modded (approved/verified/stock) save or if you are experimenting with a sandbox save.

20 hours of progress is unfortunate but probably not difficult to replay considering how much more content there is and how much better you are than 20 hours ago.

glacial oak
raw saffron
#

how do i update my mods?

small horizon
# raw saffron how do i update my mods?

the current indicator is a result of the version tagging system on mod.io that GSG is using. mod authors need to either update their mods or apply the version tag. as of right now, it's only been a couple of hotfix updates and most mods still function just fine, and those very few that don't work don't seem to crash, they just don't work.

I suggest reenabling the mods in question you want to use and clicking the little thing in the bottom left to turn off those version warnings if it annoys you to reenable every time you launch the game. if you do turn that off, i recommend turning it back on close to U35

plush geode

Pretty sure I understand what your saying, Your "main" save that you are using is a sandbox type because of a mod change when joining a friends game. There is a warning while joining and next time you just have to switch back to your primary save in the settings window.

As Lone ranger mentioned, in the #bug-discussion pinned message there are instructions on when and how you can get a sandbox save fixed from a bug but I agree that I don't think it applies here as there was no bug causing it. But you can always follow the instructions and ask them if this situation applies. unfortunately the mod being approved now doesn't have any effect on this.

Seems like the other/simpler suggested path (also my recommendation) is to make sure no sandbox mods are enabled, switch back to the primary(non sandbox) save so that you can earn progression normally, catching up should not take much time. I'd keep the sandbox save in case you want to play around with those mods or if your friends still have those installed.

the latest update probably disabled some of your mods, forcing you to use an old save that never had any sandbox mods on it

Important note about saves: Main save should be used as that - the main save - using another Regular save as "Main" is a bad idea - ( Unless ofc you only play with sandbox mods. ) as it does not have same lvl of backup sec.
You can transfer progress from one Regular Save to the main save by restoring progress from the save to the main.

#

You make a copy of your main save call it something like "Supercoolothersave"

  • play on that for a while, make some progress
  • then load your main save and click "restore save" choose "Supercoolothersave"
  • The progress is now on your main save.

DRG is the only game in existence so far that i feel no need and have no desire to ever mod except for 'brighter secondary objectives', my only single mod. All the others are just cheats like "improved scout" that just ups dmg. might as well just mod all enemies out of the game all together that'll solve everything. Whats the appeal of giving the scout cheats instead of learning to play him? Just curious, i guess some just dont find it fun the thrill of improving? idk

north phoenix
#

There's plenty of other mods that aren't "cheats". I suppose there's just a lot of more casual players who just wanna hop in and play some missions, so buffing some elements of the game is a lot easier than putting a bunch of time in to get better at the game.
I personally don't use any of the mods that buff stats but whatever helps others have more fun in the game is cool by me (especially since it doesn't alter my ability to play the game and have fun).

The two scout mods listed on drg.mod.io are said to be for modded difficulties with larger bug numbers anyways

Most of the players are interested in making the particles dissappear for a performance boost.
But I would like to know, if it is possible to make some particles stay longer? Normally when killing a Swarmer some legs lie around, when head shooting a bug the jaw pieces are spread on the floor or when breaking a wall or mineral the chunks lie around. But they all only stay for roughly 0,5 seconds befor shrinking and dissapearing. Is there a possibility to extend the life time of some particles through modding? Because I haven't seen anybody try it jet.

i've been looking into the whole thing recently because i want that option, but not for it to affect other players, such that i can have it be verified. but i don't have a clue how the game works

#

are modded cosmetics that just unlock aready existing models/material sets client only is something i don't know

#

and want to find out

low maple
# tawdry sand some people have a mod that enables this. however i believe it affects more tha...

Yeah i'd love that mod. At-A-Glance isn't a factor for me because dwarves can run around completely blacked out, or neon orange. Even gold. But i want to respect those who do rely on / enjoy at a glance. If it's ever released publicly it'd need to let players without the mod instantly select [YES] "show me the colors!" or [NO] "I like what makes us US!.
That or only let it be visible when both players have that mod installed. Im actually pretty suprised that mods like pickaxe part unlocker, or the current armor color unlocker (default colors of one rig usable on another rig) don't already work like that; people without the mod can see the colors

tawdry sand
#

the reason it works like that, is because the game is using stuff it's already got, just that you were prevented from selecting it.
the backblades of a pickaxe work exactly the same as the frontblades, just you can't put them on the front side because you're prevented.
the default paint schemes of the unique weapon frameworks are material sets that exist in the game, they have to, otherwise you wouldn't be able to select other material sets.
those are inconsequential compared to armour though. glace value is a thing for some people and while i want more fashion options i want to respect people's wishes

#

like i said i don't know anything about the game, modding, or unreal. and it sounds rather daunting to mod the game such that you can have a discrepancy between your displayed models, and whatever is sent to other player's to render.
perhaps this is a feature the devs could add? this could also work to add cosmetics that don't exist in the game without replacing other models perhaps?

swift pike
#

i don't see how unrestricted armor has negative consequences personally

#

but i also play with most of the hud on dynamic so i just press ctrl to see most things

#

unless its like point extraction with tons of light i just rely on the laser pointer to identify whos who in a cave

tawdry sand
#

yeah me neither but the mod category of "verified" specifies you should not be changing things for other players. that's why you can hop in any lobby with verified mods. so even if the affect on silhouettes and colour and glance value is minimal to me or you, to some it may, and that would change other's experience, which breaks the verified category and makes it go to approved.

swift pike
#

i don't think it would work very well being approved since its purely cosmetic

#

and it doesn't affect progression

tawdry sand
#

yeah but it is changing things for other people, not just yourself. even if it doesn't affect progression

swift pike
#

i wouldn't use it if it was approved because you would get way less people and wouldnt be able to join people

tawdry sand
#

exactly, which is why it's a complicated topic, and why i would very much like it to be client only

#

but that's out of my power

any help appreciated

@median root Try these:

  1. unsub to all mods on modio site and delete account
  2. launch game with -disablemodding in launch options
  3. exit to desktop and delete -disablemodding from launch options
  4. go to "C:\Users\YourUser\AppData\Local" delete modio folder
  5. go to "C:\Users\Public" delete modio folder
  6. (Check "C:\ProgramData" and see if there's a modio folder, if there is - then delete it)
  7. launch the game

do devs still manually verify mods?

small horizon

yes

heady sleet

explains things

small horizon
#

like what

warm pulsar
#

It takes longer for mods to be approved if the mod author gives a half assed title and description. Instead of checking what the mod actually does vs what it's supposed to do, they have to figure out what it's even supposed to do first. So if you want the process to speed up, complain to the mod author about writing a detailed description.

heady sleet
#

I mean the mod im looking at has all that, it was done by my request

#

..just that it's been stuck in sandbox hell for a bit

warm pulsar
#

It's a first come first serve basis.

#

Other restrictions include all of the "aimed for verified" mods which do not need the tag at all. If only specific files are modified then they are auto verified unless a tag is applied. Again all of this is in the documentation. ||RTFM||

supple dust
#

The devs haven't tagged a single mod in approximately a week now, what the heck is up with that?

small horizon

they just approved a few today

supple dust
burnt swallow
#

Assuming its not the devs still deciding on it's status would it be possibly be because of the AimedForVerified thing / tag?

#

I've been watching and waiting for it to be verified myself

supple dust
#

I don't know, even though it has the "Aimed for Verified" tag it is still listed as Sandbox in-game. And that makes sense, it still needs to be tagged as verified. It's very strange. Mods that do similar things like "Cosmetic Restriction Remover" didn't take this long to be verified so it makes me wonder why this one is, seems like if that other mod is verified this would be verified no-brainer.

heady sleet
weak maple
#

Looks like all of the [AimedForVerified] mods between the Deus Ex mod that just got uploaded 3h ago all the way to the Restrictionless Armor mod got ignored.
In their approval guidelines guide, you're supposed to put "This mod needs to go through the approval process" at the top of your mod description to signal to the devs if your mod didn't get auto-verified and is aiming for verified which is what I did, but my mod still hasn't been looked at.

It could be that they're still deciding on it, but in this case looks like they didn't look at it at all because my mod that I'm aiming for verified is simply a variant of another mod that I made prior that was manually Verified before too, so it should have been an easy Verified approval. So it seems that they only looked at AimedForApproved mods when they just did it earlier this morning. Seems to be just a slip of the cracks issue

#

Granted my mod does have over 800 files lol so I guess even if it's just a variant with small changes, maybe they're also planning looking at every single file

heady sleet
#

weird

#

client-side cosmetic changes should be auto verified imo

upbeat geode
#

Wait, arent they?

#

I remember something along the lines of a mod being automatically verified if theres no aimed for verified or approved whatever, i dunno if its changed

warm pulsar
#

they are unless you put the aimed for verified tag on it then they have to go through the same process as all other mods.

heady sleet
#

that's weird

shell inlet
#

There is a filter that checks the content of no aimed for mod files but if you fail that you need to add the aimed for verified tag and add the text to your description.

#

At least from my understanding.

heady sleet
#

ah explains why your mod is still aimed for verified
