Hey ho, I have a question greenbeards.

#

regarding the mods. I wanna make a little animation project to learn and I wanna ask since the game is mods ready does that mean we have access to the models in game?

#

I'd like to use a base of a dwarf to remake it in my own vision.

#

Either that or I'll start from scratch, I'd prefer to use an ingame version so I have same topology and most similar proportions.

#

I have no clue how modding works if you couldn't tell. I'm a sculptor and modeller I haven't touched modding yet

#

@shell inlet sorry for pinging but from this chat history you seem the know a lot.

shell inlet
#

We can get meshes and stuff, yeah. Not sure about the extent of what we can edit though. Hand Drawn Nerd and Pacagma are usually the go to for that stuff.

#

Mobile sucks so I can't tell if they are here too or not.

solemn mountain
shell inlet
#

Everything should be in the modding server. I need to sleep now though.

solemn mountain
#

Good night then

The initial setup to get started on modding can be a bit of a struggle but once you overcome that hurdle, model replacements are pretty straight forward.

#

Gotcha, I pinged you in the other server with more info but I'll edit that to better reflect what you're looking for.

#

quick question - if you unlock CVO OCs, switch back to vanilla, then back to CVO, do you keep the CVO ocs?

unreal quail
#

@hot igloo Yes.

native peak
#

how do you know if cvo is working>

#

?

small horizon
#

GreyHound made CVO

#

If you mean "how do you know if it is on", just check the upgrade station and see if the mod trees and values and such changed

gentle gorge
#

Hi, there! Rock & Stone

#

I'm looking some information about how to make mods

#

Is there any docs/videos? somethign official

hot igloo
#

DRG modding server has a whole lotta docs, but it is IIRC moderately technical

gentle gorge
#

BTW: I'm a programmer but I have no experience in modding

hot igloo
#

what language?

gentle gorge
#

I'm familiar with Java, Python, C#, javascript, TypesScript

#

but I can learn fast

hot igloo
#

DRG is built on Unreal Engine 4, which uses C++ and a visual programming framework called "Blueprints", but I don't know much else about modding it, I've been meaning to start myself

gentle gorge
#

great, that's something to start

#

thank you

#

so I should aim for the modding server

hot igloo
#

I'm trying to find you the drg moddding server, they have a whole lotta guides pinned

#

hey discord mods maybe pin the link for the modding server?

gentle gorge
#

awesome! thank you

shell inlet

#

is this the right pak to extract where i can find voicelines etc?

unknown.png
#

and also

#

how would you unpack it?

north phoenix
#

Check out the general guide in the modding server, it explains how to extract files from the game.

Basically you are using DRGpacker to first unpack the game's files. Then you use Umodel to export the files to something else you can use (it spits out audio files as .ogg).

fancy steeve has a framedrop issue

#

I know the guy that made it was in here the other day

shell inlet
jovial current
#

when you run into him, the game gets bogged down by the models

#

@shell inlet I guess the game has a hard time handling so many models in a tight space?

shell inlet
#

Have a video of it?

#

Oh.

#

You know what.

#

Shit, I forgot to add a check for him having the stuff so it is just stacking.

#

Thank you for reporting that, will update it asap.

jovial current
#

np

jovial current
#

so playing onsite refining you just have to kill your fancy steeves

#

how long does mod.io take to review updates?

shell inlet
#

Doesn't, I am finalizing the update atm. Ran into a few issues.

#

Okay, fixed the issues.

#

Will upload in a few minutes, need to remove some debug stuff after I run some more tests.

jovial current
#

yeah I mean no rush

shell inlet
#

@jovial current update is out.

jovial current
#

cool, I'll reenable it in a bit. thanks for the quick response

Is there a mod for binding the hover boots to holding space? O3o

Nope, the keybinds are a contextual mystery and haven't managed to be changed yet.

#

Anybody use the Tweek Goblin intern mission control mod?

#

I freaking love it so much

which mods increase xp gain?

hot igloo
#

hey whoever made CVO, thank you for the dakka gk2 OC!

keen bluff
#

Please tell me there's a mod that changes every mission control voice line to the placeholder lines

#

its all I hear from them

north phoenix
#

That's definitely something that can be done 👀 just seems like a lot of manual work/time.

royal terrace

hi

small horizon
north phoenix
#

KEKD I was curious how much time it would actually take ... and then I went a little too deep. I figured it'd be a good distraction from studying and then one thing lead to another and I did the thing.

shell inlet
#

@unreal quail did a quick test and if you select a mission type and set the hazard to 1-5, the shooting range updates accordingly.

#

Not exactly a perfect option but it works for now while I wait for some game changing stuff happening soon . .

small horizon
shell inlet
# small horizon what stuff?

For BP modders we are getting auto generated C++ stuff so that we can access just about anything exposed to BPs such as variables, delegates, functions, enums, etc.

#

I and just about any BP modder should be very excited.

small horizon
#

That's incredible news. Dev stuff or Buck and his crews stuff?

shell inlet
#

Archengius and Cheating Muppet.

small horizon
#

Double wrong, but oh well. Big thanks to them. I was about to pick up the tutorials for BP modding. Do these developments make that process any easier/different? Or do you not know yet?

shell inlet
#

Buck is working on making a FSD UE4 project that contains all of the generated C++ from their tool, so any of the stuff that you dummy will be able to have all accessible options from the get-go.

#

As of right now you have to manually recreate every single C++ class and get the formatting correct and whatnot. If that C++ references another C++ thing you have to recreate that too if you want to change it so it just stacks and stacks until you get to the base class.

small horizon
#

So having all that pre-generated saves time for everyone. That's lovely.

shell inlet
#

But this will just let you, for example, make a resupply pod dummy actor and be able to change the start and target location, tell the game to destroy it when it is empty, etc all from the start without doing anything else but making the event graph.

small horizon
#

That's so so nice. Big news indeed. Headache avoider

unreal iris
#

Sort of surprised no ones made a mod for choosing the daily beers. Guessing it’s complicated

shell inlet
#

I believe that you can do it with Spawn Menu for free.

#

Hello, I was wondering what the modding toolkit is like, in terms of

  • What languages can I use?
  • What do I have access to? I imagine it isn't nearly as extensive as some games where I can change literally any of their code. For example, could I add a new class and new weapons / tools?
shell inlet
wide linden
#

Oh no 😩

shell inlet
#

Blueprinting can allow you to make just about anything that you can code and we can access pretty much everything with it.

wide linden
#

I see. It is slightly discouraging since I don't know C++ nor unreal engine, agh

shell inlet
#

We have tutorials and offer help. Not many of the modders know how to do it though so availability can sometimes be a problem.

wide linden
#

Yeah, that's fair lol
I just feel the idea of adding a new class is a bit ambitious if I don't know anything about the tooling that's being used
I suppose I'll give it a shot sometime in the future, once I build a new computer, as my current one can barely run DRG and certainly couldn't handle an IDE and DRG at the same time

shell inlet
#

Well, you can always try to get an understanding in the downtime, haha. Hope it goes well though.

wide linden
#

I suppose, yeah. Thank you for the info, much appreciated

shell inlet
wide linden
#

Thank you :)

Is there a mod that prevents servers from showing up if they allow latejoin class duplication?

Is there a way to where I can keep my mods toggled in the on position so I don't have to turn them on every time I launch the game?

shell inlet

I'm having trouble with my mods showing up in game even though my .io account and steam are connected. Is there something I'm missing?

#

I accidentally made a decent amount of progress with a sandbox mod that split my game into two saves, one sandbox, one not. Is there a way to save a copy of my sandbox save as a normal one then overwrite my original main save with the copy?

#

no, that'd defeat the entire purpose of the sandbox save being separate

The drg modding discord has some guides on audio, they might help you with that. The server link is at #fan-communities

Anyone have links to resources for making mods? There is one tiny tweak I want to make to how shotguns function.

#

Actually, before I do this, would it be possible to make a mod that gives shotguns fixed pattern shots? Anyone familiar with random bullet spread in source engine games knows what I'm referring to.

Or is that even a mod?

Hey guys! One of my friends just got back to the game after taking a break for quite a while. They haven't played since the modding update and their main save has been set as sandbox. Now they have a new main save which is level 2 cause they've played a few missions yesterday and a higher level sandbox. Is there any way to revert his now sandbox save to be his main save?

shell inlet
#

Did they lose a lot of progress?

viral tapir
#

It is not a lot, cause they don't play a lot.

#

But it is a year's progress for them

also I love your vids

Check your messages, I can fix it.

rich swallow
#

SInce installing a few mods I have this problem where steam fails to load, and I can only launch the game again after verifying integrity of my DRG files, and reinstalling mods. Is there a way to tell which is the mod causing me issues that doesn't involve painstaking process of elimination?

visual granite
#

I'm looking to make a mod that removes the in-game voice line timing limitations, allowing--for example--many rockandstone voice lines to be played in quick succession by mashing the V key

how could I get started with that?

@shell inlet also if you need the songs in a different file format hit me up, .wav, .ogg, there's so many export options I don't know what half of them do drillchamp

I had an idea but no modding experience. Black ops zombies scream and yells over glpyhid calls

#

check out the guide i linked above: you don't need a lot of modding experience. just go to the modding server in #fan-communities to grab the unpacker and follow the guide

past silo
#

i've asked this question two times and nobody seemed to respond so i'll just ask one more time. Is it just my game that doesn't allow mods to run offline? when i launch it offline and go to modding it says "Agree to terms of service" which it can't because i need to be online for it (also i already did agree online before).

shell inlet
#

I have no idea.

past silo
#

i'm assuming that either mods don't work offline all together or my game is just messed up

languid horizon
#

I had an idea for a new class of dwarf but sadly will not happen unless someone were to mod the game and add one. So I guess I'll post that idea here..

The Spelunker class.

Personality: NEEEERRRRRD

Main weapons:
1:Typewriter
The Typewriter is a drum fed automatic rifle with short range and decent spread but a good clip and fast firing mechanism.
2:Echo
A sonar pulse scanner for a drill pod that has been modified to shoot deadly soundwaves at hypersonic frequencys. This cant do much against armor itself, but the echos that bound around inside the beast do damage because of armor. not so effective against fleshy bits.

Sidearms:
1: Revolver
a simple 6 shooter with high calibur bullets for dealing with glyphids
2:Laser pistol
This charging pistol can ignite enemies but must be charged to full to have that effect.

Utility:
Mineral pulse scanner. The mineral pulse scanner will detect and display nearby minerals even through walls for quick retrieval when paired with a driller. It will also scare away smaller Glyphids when used, tho it may anger larger ones.

Traversal:
Gravwave generator. The Gravwave generator uses artificial gravity pulses in a confined stream to either launch a dwarf, and consequentially slow his fall, or to grab loose objects be they Glyphids, mineral chunks, or fellow dwarves and YEET or retrieve them. Main fire uses the tool in retrieval mode, lock on and it will pull in. Alt fire charges up to shoot either you or whatever you have grabbed away from you. Reloading will change the mode of the tool.

fierce scarab
#

I wonder how hard it would be to make all DRG gui diegetic?

languid horizon
#

diegetic?

fierce scarab
#

Instead of a gui all information and sound sources are actually in the real game world with actual sound sources and all

#

F. E a nitra gauge on molly

#

Same with mission progress

languid horizon
#

so when mission control says something it sounds like everyone is getting the message through a radio on them?

#

that would help with vr immersion

fierce scarab
#

One good example of diegetic design is the ammo counter many weapon models here have

languid horizon
#

Oh no.. I can hear the Driller grunting that he is out of c4.. but he is running to the ressupply..

past berry
#

Every time I restart the game I come back to either random mods being enabled/disabled or every single mod requiring reinstalling. I have had this issue for a long time and it is really annoying to have to wait 15 minutes and turn on the right mods.

#

i would kill for a mod that disables the overheating voicelines on the drak

orchid marlin
shell inlet
#

@past berry @orchid marlin this is the result of closing the game by any method besides the in-game way. Closing the application, alt f4, or crashing will cause this.

The easiest way to resolve it is by stop doing the above and to enable auto disable outdated mods to prevent crashing. You can turn this off once you have the mods you want enabled.

orchid marlin
#

I don't alt f4 my game though

past berry
#

yeah

orchid marlin
unreal quail
#

The mod you're hovering over also requires the Retrograde Mod Spawner mod to be enabled.

orchid marlin
#

oh

royal terrace
#

hi

small horizon
#

I believe the game sometimes mistakes the exit to desktop option as a crash, when it comes to mods

unreal quail
#

Yes, and it's really aggravating to mod users. Could really use that mod profile option...

orchid marlin
#

alright turns out I had auto disable outdated mods on which I didn't notice

#

so that fixes my issue partially

north phoenix
#

Drillboy made the framework, but there's a couple of us who add models to it.

The way that the Heavy was implemented is that it's the entire model from TF2. So to see the body and the head, you have to choose the armor and then invisible head/eyebrows as well as the clean shave facial hairs.

#

Yep! Only if they also have the mod though.

#

small horizon
#

tf2 pack

north phoenix
#

Basically, lmao. Doesn't help that I put 3000 hrs into TF2 and copy and pasting hats from it is so easy.
not to mention the fact that Pacagma has lots of experience in the Source engine.

orchid marlin
#

In you guys opinion, what counts as cheat mods

pine dew
#

Hello friends. Can someone give me a few beginner pointers about how to mod DRG? I wanna replace mission control voicelines with silent ones, it's about time someone make that guy stop spamming the radio lol

pine dew
#

"weapon rebalances" "ammo hack" "more health" "better flashlights" "infinite flares"

#

stuff like that, IMO

orchid marlin
#

I wouldn't call weapon rebalances or better flares cheating

vestal thunder
#

better flares is

#

weapon rebalances ~ maybe

orchid marlin
#

I don't use better flares but like, why is being able to see cheating

pine dew
#

because the game intends that you'll have to strategically use your flares instead of making the entire cave bright as day. hence the reason we have the scout's flare gun

#

but thats only my opinion

orchid marlin
#

In multiplayer I agree since you have 8-16 flares and possibly scout

#

But in solo it's terrible

#

Especially during missions you move a lot, like morkite, you might as well turn your monitor off and nothing would change

pine dew
#

yeah, I get you, specially because I'm a solo player most of the time. I like the extra challenge it provides though

#

in missions such as expedition I'll always use scout for that reason. flare gun is a must when you need to locate the morkite veins

orchid marlin
#

I think not being able to see just makes things more tedious, as you are standing there waiting for flares not seeing anything

pine dew
#

maybe try adapting your gameplay to suit the flares quantity. throw it in a way it will light more than just the place it will land, so you wont have to spend another one to light a section you've already recon'd. I'm not sure I'm being clear, english isn't my primary language lol

#

being aware of your surroundings helps too. idk, I play solo and I rarely get out of flares

orchid marlin
#

I might just start using better flares because imo it's just qol and flares need a buff

astral halo
#

Better Flares + Advanced Darkness is nice support pods to add extra light when you can't see the ceiling.

#

Also anyone know what happened to Custom Enemy Counter?

#

Searched the entire Discord for mentions of Arctic Echo but couldn't find anything have they quit the modding scene? Right now when I enable custom enemy cap it says my data is corrupt and sometimes corrupts my main save. So glad the devs made it so there were backups xD

#

Also does that mean BlueprintModManager has a limited life time till it breaks?

north phoenix
pine dew
#

thanks a lot! defo will check it out

north phoenix

north phoenix
#

Definitely isn't a perfect solution, but it's somethin'.

astral halo
#

Might see if my anchent copy of the mod works and the game picks up its verified

north phoenix
#

If you try loading a mod by throwing it in the paks folder, chances are it probably won't work (as it's outdated) but you'll for sure be put into sandbox mode.

astral halo
#

Oh no I'm replacing mod.io stuff xD

#

If I throw it in paks I know the game will ship me to sandbox xD

#

It worked!

#

Yep since 2.7 worked and 2.8 corrupts my save I am gonna guess something bad happened and it was changed to not be compatible with the game and disabled to prevent people using it

#

So so so much better

Grunts cost 1 point and for every 3000 grunts a dreadnought spawns with all dreadnought buffs

#

Idea is a mode where during a wave they keep coming as a stream of bugs. Ones further away get forcefully culled so any that spawn in and don't go for the player will die and be replaced with more that might go for the player xD

orchid marlin
#

how come the no cosmetic restrictions changes you did stay even if you disable the mod or join an unmodded server

unreal quail
#

Because turning off mods doesn't always switch data properly. Difficulty mods are guilty of this quite often.

orchid marlin
#

do others see your changes

unreal quail
#

As far as I know, others see your changes only if they have the mod; that said, I can't verify because I don't use it.

#

is there a mod that adds a dps meter? if there isnt it would be a great tool for comparing different weapons and builds

#

Is there anyway to remove 50 mod limit for multiplayer? Something that opens a prompt saying I agree that I am responsable for any desync that occurs its not the intended game experience or something?

#

Desperate for this feature as I'm at the 75 Non-Clientside mods

shell inlet
#

No, it is a limitation with Steam.

astral halo
#

O.o Isn't it from Mod.io. My space Engineers has over 900 mods and it works multiplayer

shell inlet
#

It's what the devs told us.

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

It was a cap of 25 because they couldn't send more data so they made some changes to get it to 50 but it took months.

astral halo
#

Smacks face into desk Time to give Unreal a 5th try I suppose xD

#

I used to have way more mods before mod support was added and still works in sandbox by manually installing mods but tying to make a hardcore game mode xD

shell inlet
#

Yeah, the old method didn't seem to have a cap but that is because it didn't require people to download anything.

astral halo
#

Shame github couldn't work as a modding hub too

shell inlet
#

That is where we had our mods for years.

astral halo
#

Any good easy ways to merge mods together? Or would I need to get a full blank file tree and manually replace everything?

astral halo
shell inlet
#

No easy way, have to recreate the folder structures and put in the related files in the exact spot they belong in.

#

So you would have to unpack every mod and decide what changes you want if any conflict and do the above.

astral halo
#

Are the .pak files encrypted?

#

Wanted to edit around with a few mods for a while but didn't want to pester the content creators xD

shell inlet
#

Have to use unreal pak 4.25

astral halo
#

Thank you will have a look into that. Not sure what version I was trying to use

#

Would 4.25.3 work?

What approved mods do you guys use regularly

north phoenix
#

I like using Upgraded Doretta just for the extra deposits.
Then if I wanna kill more bugs, I'll go Starship Troopers with Swarm Size Control.

# orchid marlin What approved mods do you guys use regularly

I only use verified mods, because I don't like the idea of having to force others to use my mods or joining modded games, but…

  • Damage Text (admittedly, I don't have much experience with it yet, because I just installed it, but it looks promising)
  • Creeper exploders (helps me detect them easier)
  • Shantae Boss Music (I made this one)
  • James May's Cheesy Platform Gun
  • Brighter Objects
  • Impact Axe Bonk! SFX
    Also, I used to use Fabulous Bugs; I still love it, but it sadly hurts my performance too much.

If you're using the latest version of DRGpacker, you shouldn't have to modify anything, it includes the Unreal tools that it needs.

#

Now to add a multiplier to all mission length so default Doretta
mission length 1 is 2-3 refuels xD

#

Might even make 5 mission length types if possible

#

Is it possible to spawn dreadnought eggs in a Doretta mission? Curious if I could give a reason to why Doretta had to be landed so far away. Just cover the area with dreadnought eggs have it so Doretta mostly isn't in a cave unless refueling and just have casual hive guards defending the eggs xD

#

Also extracting 130 .pak files at once is screen spam

astral halo
#

And so it begins. This is all for a private mod pack that is only for me and my friends so won't be hosted and not stealing any credit from the mod creators.

Also a lot of the mods are also to help me understand things so still want to say thank you to anyone who made any of these mods

unknown.png
#

That was not even the full list.

Also if I use a mod such as absurd long missions would that have older cave generation?

#

As an example something like this DNA_Escort_Long

astral halo
#

Also anyway to make a password mod so people cannot use a modpack without it? To prevent any chance of people joining mid game if left accidently on open. Don't want to cause any issues with the owners of any of the mods

orchid marlin
#

Found a cool music mod, has a bunch of jazzy stuff which somehow fits the game, but then it also has some instrumental country songs for the drop pod escape music which is weird

#

Idk if I can remove that

#

Though then I assume the mod would become sandbox if I tweaked it?

small horizon
#

assuming you uploaded to mod.io

orchid marlin
#

Yeah I don't think I will mess with it

#

Reuploading is not cool

small horizon
#

you can always make it a private mod so only you can see it and use it

orchid marlin
#

I might mess with it then, gotta figure out how it works

astral halo
#

I still have access to Custom Spawn Cap mod but the author has hidden it and only people who have the link can access it

small horizon
astral halo
#

May need to tell ArticEcho that as people have been commenting on there mod that is not public. It even corrupts data at the moment at least when I downloaded it it did.

small horizon
#

but if you make a hidden mod that's hidden from the start, people would never be able to see it unless you added them to it

astral halo
#

Ohhh gave my friend a link and he could view it too

small horizon
#

ive never had another soul that i didnt add see a hidden mod of mine that was hidden from the start

astral halo

Ah, welp, that is why it breaks during updates. Same goes for Generous Management.

#

The current release is 2.8

#

I'm using an old one from the GitHub page which works but the latest one Arctic released didn't work said my save was corrupted twice renamed Custom Enemy Cap 1.7 to 1.8 and the game picked it up and even said it was validated xD

#

I don't think mods are even validated which confuses me to why it takes so long for people to join as it appears to only validate file name.
Found out my friend can even modify my settings in Blueprint manager if he joins halfway in the match xD

#

Can't tell if I've done something wrong or if BluePrint mod manager just doesn't like being forced together with 90 other mods.

#

Wait.. I'm an idiot. I didn't pack Blueprint mod manager in but I packed all the mods for it xD

why do so few people play CVO? 😦 it's a lot of fun

For me I need swarms of enemies. I have chemical depression and get less feel good from doing easier or balanced things. So I tend to flip the coin and make it so hard I have to play it a few times till I get the win xD

#

Also lots of bugs means lot to concentrate on keeps me awake a bit longer and prevents my mind just shutting down

north phoenix
# hot igloo why do so few people play CVO? 😦 it's a lot of fun

That's just kinda the nature of using approved mods in general. I've had a lot less people join my games with just a few approved mods compared to vanilla lobbies. And then something like CVO that drastically changes the game is going to further keep people who want to play the game normally away.

astral halo
#

Is there any hard limits on file size with mods also where theres a UEXP file should there always be a uasset too and the same the other way around?

hot igloo
astral halo
#

About to pass out to sleep but if anyone knows if theres another step after creating the Pak file would love to know. I can rename mods and get mods to work but combining them all together from a folder using packing the game acts like none of it is there in sandbox mode or anything. Installed it even to the paks folder in the game. So unsure if I need to encrypt it or something like that. If I mess up a file on purpose the game will throw an error but except for that it seems to be where things should work it will act like nothings happened.

Modio supports up to 5 gigs.

# true jewel Modio supports up to 5 gigs.

Thats a fair amount xD.
I'm extracting mods and then recompling them together but with no effect. I feel its something I'm doing wrong with compiling them but the game isn't throwing any errors that I know of and google searching for it just throws the most irrelevent results it possibly can.

true jewel
#

I don't think it's very easy to do. You can't just reimport already cooked files into UE.

And some files can't be extracted from a pak so those you would have to recreate.

Would £350 be a fair price do you think to request a mod that adds a new sentry gun that has a fair few features and possibly a separate Bet-C to prevent updates breaking the modded version which also has a lot of features and new model? Perhaps a small edit to Molly too

where are mods located on your pc because funnily enough, they aren't in the mods folder

Its Mod.io they are in appdata they don't even delete if you unsub from a mod ether so if you have an SSD be sure to change the path in the config of mod.io

#

The only reason I even found it to begin with was becaused of its size in windirstat xD

MOD IDEAS:

  1. UI tweak that displays various gauges like heat buildup (minigun), pressure chamber status (cryo canon), etc, as an easy-to-read/easy-to-see readout near the center of the screen. Currently, this information is only available (other than gauging it yourself using things like the sound being generated by the weapon or the color of the barrel as it generates heat) by glancing in the lower-right portion of the screen at a small display or meter on the weapon itself. Personally, I dislike this UI choice quite a bit because it forces you to pull your attention away from your center of vision, and consequently, the things that pose a threat (i.e. enemies or changes in terrain) and necessitate undivided attention as much as possible.

As an example, when using the minigun, I picture a bar that appears as you begin firing

#

a horizontal bar - that displays how much heat you've built up (going from white to red as it generates more heat). I believe the ideal spot for something like that would slightly below the reticle.

heady sleet
#
  1. I can be lazy sometimes... everyone's guilty of that. This is especially true when it comes to doing things that feel mindless and tedious. Specifically... cycling through the various biomes/available missions to see which random anomalies and warnings were selected for the current map cycle.

It would be nice to have mod that offers filter settings that would allow you to quickly find out whether any of the available missions have the anomaly and/or warning you were looking for. Manually clicking through each of the biomes on the map just feels super tedious (even though it requires miner effort). I mean... it's pretty much the first thing everyone does when they're back at the rig and the map timer has just reset.

Food for thought.

# orchid marlin there is a mod that allows you to just point somewhere and molly will go there

we already command Molly around and tell her where she needs to be. The mod you're referring to really just saves time. The alternative is to hit "c" every few seconds on your way to your destination or wait to call her when you get there. It's really only useful when the area is big enough to see where you would want her to go. Otherwise, the first 2 strategies work just as well. So, I would say it's convenient due to making missions more time efficient - more QoL, but I wouldn't consider it strong. This game is riddled with little interactions and mechanics that can really drag out time (i.e. Molly bugging out and taking the extra long route to get to you or the pace that you mine oil shale. Both are tedious and mind-numbingly slow, but neither of them makes the game more difficult, just a little irritating. time don't grow on trees, ya know), so any mods that offer ways to make the experience a little friendlier on the clock are a welcomed addition.

you'll need to unlock the weapon mods CVO adds, but only once

How do you describe game to people?

orchid marlin

minecraft + payday 2

add starcraft and tf2 to that mix

placid parcel
#

left 4 dead genre is what i go for in general
a lot of people also say minecraft but i dont think it shares any elements except having a pickaxe to hit rocks with

nocturne heart
#

i think people call that a "horde shooter"? i don't know if that's accurate

#

also i think exploration is a part of the game so i think where the minecraft part (as in spelunking) comes in

hollow tiger
#

I think Minecraft comparison comes from (as mentioned above) spelunking and mining, but also likely because both games have fully destructible terrain

winged hull
#

Horde shooter, yeah.

orchid marlin
#

also, no way to remove gibs and blood then?

scarlet obsidian

problem is, those don't actually work in multiplayer

Would there be any problem with having two mission control mods installed? My mods got reset and I accidentally had the Tweek Goblin MC and the Siirvend MC mods installed at the same time. Seems to be working fine, and I actually kinda love it because sometimes it's Tweek Voicelines and sometimes it's Siirvend lines. In my headcanon Siv is like training Tweek haha

#

Just want to know if it could cause like stability issues or other gamebreaking stuff

Hello all, can anybody answer - why i can't download mod?
BrewBreuw's Mod Pack for Deep Rock Galactic

Run game -> mods -> open in steam drg.mod.io -> subsribed it -> spinning icon more than 5 minutes, but no changes -> mods not show in menu 😦

north phoenix

#

Cool thanks

#

AFAIK the Tweek mod has been updated to cover every line actually

#

But it seems like the game just chooses between a Siirvend and Tweek line at random when you have both installed (but always has Siirvend's icon for some reason)

Issue: Mods not working as intended?
I'm trying to playtest OCs, combos, etc, and the Spawn Menu mod doesn't appear to be doing it's proper function and removing mobs from the game while I test around.
Spawn Menu doesn't appear to be working for crap, and I'm kinda tired of spending hours of my day figuring how how to playtest.

small horizon
#

spawn menu can no longer cull anything it didn't spawn

red sluice
#

Is there anything that can do that

#

All I want to do is sit in a corner, with no bugs cluttering my audio, trying to hit me, etc, while I showcase things

shell inlet
#

Could use weapons in the space rig while it still exists

red sluice
#

That's a thing? Name of the mod if you will?

shell inlet
#

Weapons In Space Rig

#

Intuitive.

red sluice
#

simple enough

#

DRG seems to have some issues with players testing things out.

small horizon
#

While it still exists? Planning on deleting it after you release the Shooting Range?

red sluice
#

especially for a non-competitive game with no real risk/reward for modding, cheating, testing, etc.

shell inlet
#

Debating, I can either force people to download the shooting range if they want to use equipment or I could keep it separate, idk.

#

Thanks.

red sluice
#

Ya.

#

I'm a bit of a stiff, iron-willed fellow when it comes to not letting people test things.
Seen far too many games where players had to attack the game to do some simple tests.

#

There's not enough synonyms for 'testing'

shell inlet
#

Shooting Range seeks to alleviate that.

red sluice
#

I hope it gets some good love

#

and if not from them, from me- because I don't mind going through hurdles for that sort of thing

shell inlet
#

I am the one making it, so it is going to be trash.

red sluice
#

Aw lawd they comin'

red sluice
shell inlet
#

red sluice
#

I see now why there's a rather small playerbase of content creators for this game.
It's really difficult to showcase or test anything, or show comparisons, if Ghost Ship is going to smack every tool on the head that isn't a pickaxe.

shell inlet
#

You can change it by selecting a mission difficulty

red sluice
#

Does that work for the spawned mobs in the rig, too?
The one you recommended earlier

shell inlet
#

Recommended?

red sluice
#

Weapons in the space rig + spawn menu

shell inlet
#

It'll work, but, yeah, it doesn't actually display info.

#

You can try debug mode instead, it'll make most enemies ignore you in mission.

red sluice
#

Bit of a shame but, sigh.

Yeah, I do have that too.

shell inlet
#

The other way is some commands.

red sluice
#

Why is there not a resource for removing spawns in a mission, and allowing players to test what they will without the god-awful amounts of H5 swarms and things shooting you constantly.

shell inlet
#

There was, but it is sandboxed.

red sluice
#

Honestly, my main goal this afternoon/evening was showcasing "This weapon with this modification + OC, does really good against etc etc"

shell inlet
#

Old version with the enemy despawning and stuff.

red sluice
#

I'll keep that in mind, thanks.

shell inlet
#

Won't have the new enemies and stuff of course.

red sluice
#

Honestly with how I'm seeing things, looks like the devs are being a bit stingy with the ability to do things outside of actual missions.

#

When I first started playing, I thought I might do content on this
I don't think I want to anymore. Everywhere I look is just another way to make things complicated or barriers keeping simple comparisons from being made.

#

Anyway, heading off of this frustration-fest. Wish you luck with that mod Banagement, hope it works as we hope

You can read the .pak file using Fmodel. You can also unpack the mod with DRGPacker/UnrealPak and then inspect the assets using UAssetGUI. If you have a specific question, it might be best to talk to the mod author.

Does it clearly say if its a sandbox mod?, just got back to deep rock today, wanted to try some mods

small horizon

yes, there's a tag section at the bottom and it will say "sandbox" in them if it's sandbox. also mods that are "aimedfor[name]" are not yet categorized and will also be sandbox

#

if you try to enable a sandbox mod, it'll prompt you to make a new save. you can just hit cancel to avoid this process and go back to your normal save with the sandbox mod disabled

viscid hazel
#

alright, thank you. Just installed 2 mods faster mining, and thickaxe just to mess around abit solo, then i saw a post about sandbox ruining save or something, glad i didnt mess mine up xD

#

was a old post so glad they give you a warning of sandbox

small horizon
#

there was an old bug that is mostly gone that would convert your main save to sandbox, but now things work fine for the most part and it just makes a separate save. if you ever have any issues with losing your normal save because of a bug, you can contact them for them to scrub it

quick question whats the difference between approved and verified mods? never really understood the difference

shell inlet
#

verified don't affect gameplay much, are not listed in your server browser (I think), only affect the user and can be used in other lobbies

#

approved affects gameplay, are listed and required by clients, mark you as modded and disable achievements (getting them with mods active but things like promotions count after disabling)

quaint narwhal
#

ahhh got it. basically just safe client side mods and required serverside mods from host.

Howdy y'all, asking for some help. First time modding the game, and I only have verified stuff.
Whenever I finish a mission with some mates, when I go to a menu (such as the equipment terminal or mission selection) it freezes up and none of my controls will go through. The only ways to get it back are closing my game and such. Does anyone have an idea why this could be?

If it helps, I do have DRGLib and the Blueprint mod installed as dependencies.

Edit: Dunno why it happens, but it only seems to happen after the first mission. After doing 2 in a row, I could use the terminals without much issue. Works as a solution for now, but would prefer to find a permanent solution somehow!

But you need C++ experience am I right?

Not really, we have most of the C++ auto generated and blueprinting is different than that.
