#

i tried downloading a mod and it just says unable installing/uninstalling and scarab was unable to access the file in the mods folder.

and when i try to run the modded game it says something along the lines of "an exception was made and couldn't download api" or something.

#

it's not a connection issue. i tried with vpn and non vpn and even tried with mods that were light in terms of mb

i think this was for the api

#

and this was for the mod

Unable to installing or uninstalling Satchel.
Scarab was unable to access the file in the mods folder.

scarab isnt able to connect to internet

#

maybe try plugging in your laptop to ethernet

silver jetty Jul 10, 2023, 8:01 PM

#

i don't have an Ethernet cable available atm. i don't understand why scarab cant connect though. everything else works completely fine

neat trench Jul 10, 2023, 8:02 PM

#

Maybe it's some firewall issue

silver jetty Jul 10, 2023, 8:02 PM

#

i made sure my windows security was turned off so it wouldn't block or stop anything on its own

Block or Unblock Programs in Windows Firewall

This post describes how to block or unblock programs from network access in the Windows Firewall in Microsoft Windows 11.

#

Try this maybe

silver jetty Jul 10, 2023, 8:03 PM

#

and usually connection problems for me rise up from being in a place where many sites are blocked and such so i even used a vpn

neat trench Jul 10, 2023, 8:04 PM

#

Do you live in China?

#

If so idt I can fix it

#

There was talk of mirroring modlinks on another site to make it easier to download stuff there

#

Idk how far that's come

silver jetty Jul 10, 2023, 8:05 PM

#

unfortunately and or fortunately no. i live in syria

neat trench Jul 10, 2023, 8:05 PM

#

I didn't know stuff was blocked in syria

#

Can you access https://github.com/hk-modding/modlinks/blob/main/ModLinks.xml from your web browser?

silver jetty Jul 10, 2023, 8:05 PM

#

yeah a lot of stuff gets blocked. more than you'd expect. for example with the new discord mobile update i can no longer send images without a vpn

silver jetty Jul 10, 2023, 8:06 PM

#

neat trench Can you access <https://github.com/hk-modding/modlinks/blob/main/ModLinks.xml> f...

i can access GitHub but not actually download anything. if i wanna download anything from GitHub i need a vpn

neat trench Jul 10, 2023, 8:07 PM

#

Cuz you can always download mods manually

silver jetty Jul 10, 2023, 8:07 PM

#

but I still can't run the modded game

How do I manually install Mods and why would I need to?

🔹 Manually installing mods has several purposes, it can be used if you have a mod that isn't yet on the installer, if you're encountering a problem that leaves you no other options, or if you're installing mods for a version of the game that the installer doesn't support.
🔹 1. (1.5) For mods on Scarab, the Github links can be found here, then the mod can be downloaded from the releases section of the Github: https://github.com/hk-modding/modlinks/blob/main/ModLinks.xml.
(1.4.3.2) Find the "dll" file of the mod you would like to install, for mods that are on the installer you can download them from this google drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1lnjtSYMfRe1LyA_qSq2CoXKI6NRm_I-e.

Otherwise, searching for the github, downloading them from the mod channels (requires the dev-channels role, available in #opt-in-roles), or from the (currently WIP) list of mods pinned in #hk-resources.
2. Mod Installer 1 comes with a feature allowing you to "Manually Install Mods", using this will add the mod you installed to your mod installer list. Allowing you to easily enable, disable, or uninstall it. Mod Installer 2/Scarab does not have this feature. To use it simply select the "Manually Install Mods" button near the bottom of the installer, this will open a file select menu, then use this menu to find the dll file for the mod you want to install, select it and click "Open". This method should not be used if installing mods for versions other than the one the installer supports.
3. If the installer fails to properly download the "Modding API", or you are modding a different version of the game, you will need to manually install the correct version of the Modding API.

cause of the whole "exception" api

neat trench Jul 10, 2023, 8:08 PM

#

If you download the API manually it doesn't matter

#

Scarab is just a file placer

#

It doesn't run mods

silver jetty Jul 10, 2023, 8:08 PM

#

then here's hoping. tho I'll have to wait till tomorrow to try. I'll get back to you as soon possible and ty a lot btw

neat trench Jul 10, 2023, 8:09 PM

#

Manually installing is not hard just a bit tedious cuz you have to be careful to ensure dependency are also installed

silver jetty Jul 10, 2023, 8:09 PM

#

yeah makes sense

patent ridge Jul 11, 2023, 2:41 AM

firewall isn't blocking anything, but when I go to install a mod I get an error message
