Mods not working

[high escarp]

I tried adding some mods but none of them seem to work. Does anyone have a screenshot of what they should look like so I can compare?

[viscid prawn]

This is official discord

We don't rlly deal with modded, and most of the folk I'm about to ping are usually there anyways

[high escarp]

I feel like at least someone here knows how BepInEx works

[viscid prawn]

@regal crag Any ideas?

[viscid prawn]

Yeah, but it's weird you're asking here rather than the place where most of the developers for the mods are actually at

[viscid prawn]

Are you using r2mod or trying to put the files in manually?

Last time I checked, not a lot of people seemed to know how to do it anymore, and neither do I
Most of us use r2modman for mods

@high escarp No idea which one you're using so see if this stuff helps
This is basically as much as I know about mods

[viscid prawn]

This is from the modded server, you can go there yourself and look around

Use thunderstore

[surreal tide]

Use thunderstore x2

[warped hollow]

Use thunderstore x3

[viscid prawn]

Is there something about thunderstorm that I missed?

[warped hollow]

Its easier to use
You literally download the mods with one click

[polar pecan]

Isn't the thunderstore mod manager just a closed source fork of r2modman, except with ads shoved in and linux compatibility removed...

[viscid prawn]

I only use r2modman so i don't know

[warm juniper]

@polar pecan Pretty much

[scarlet nest]

Yes it it

[surreal tide]

I use Thunderstore and i have no issues , one click download and install.

lets you choose to launch the game with or without mods too

so no need to delete or move folders when you want to play the game unmodded.

I know I am kinda late with this question but does the progress you make in the game on steam and thunderstorm get synchronized cause I dont really want to start from 0 again (and getting the steam-achivements would also be dope)

[regal crag]

they do

achievements u can disable or enable in mtfo cfg

and level progression is normal if u don't use localprogression on vanilla .. for modded rundowns u need localprog to save your clears

so if you've done all but r8e2, start modded with a qol mod, your completes are there

might not get an achievement when playing unless u configure mtfo to

[wraith granite]

thats good cause getting 100% in this game would be dope but doing it as a duo is a bit unplessant to say the least

[regal crag]

feel ya

we noticed in alt-r2 that qol modded vanilla clears unlocked vanities and completions saved permanently

[wraith granite]

not meaning to play other modded rundowns, we are mainly looking for the better bots mod if thats there

[regal crag]

before that i don't think they did

yeah ekbr-r2modman, new profile, install only betterbots and mtfo, launch modded once, edit mtfo.cfg if u want the achievements to work

if not, just launch modded, enjoy bots that work

(launch once so mtfo writes bepinex/config/mtfo.cfg for u to edit and launch again)

u can also configure the betterbots features like the aim accuracy buff etc, all your perogative

[wraith granite]

when installing mtfo it automatically gave me the BepInExPack as well, since they are both pinned I suppose, is that okay or should I disable it?

[regal crag]

it's okay, mtfo requires it

[wraith granite]

alright

[regal crag]

all that comes from it is the gtfo-api.dll that gives a bunch of useful apis for other mods to use

[wraith granite]

ah okay

[regal crag]

betterbots has a "secret" dependency to it, alltho i did recently compile a version that doesn't dep on it

(some vr mod folks couldn't better their bots, luckily was solved)

[wraith granite]

how exactly do I sync the progress now / make achievements available?

or is that automatic?

[regal crag]

launch modded once, once launched, quit, go browse profile folder, hit bepinex/config/

find mtfo.cfg, open in notepad or whatever editor, see the achievement related lines

change to true if false etc

save, launch modded again, boom

same with betterbots.cfg, file is created on first launch

like said, if no mod named localprogression, game will actually call playfab and get your stats and level completions and vanity item unlocks etc

when u finish a previously unfinished level, it will call playfab to report user xxxxxxxxxx completed rundown yy level zz with sectors m/s/o, and playfab then might award u stuff, permanently

but, if u got achievements disabled, any ach that you might have received (tank kill no damage for example), is just forfeited and not applied

[wraith granite]

okay thank you :)

[regal crag]

enjoy, personally i'm stoked how well betterbots do after the last patches

hitting extraction circle and bots actually join is almost spiritual. angel choirs, beam of light thru the clouds.

My biggest beef with bots was when they rushed to melee enemies during alarms where the active wave is upon you (or when there are lots of active enemies due to the Mum spawning lil enemies)
That screwed way too many missions for me 😄
