    I installed a small number of mods, admittedly some are out of date, namely the small extended race selection and vulpes race, and though I did what I needed to do make them work, and even put them in the mods folder, however while the game runs just fine i'm not seeing effects from any of them, not even the up to date mods.

    You more like likely put a folder inside a folder.
    This can be easily confirmed when you launch the game and look at bottom right.
    If you installed the mod properly it will appear in red.

    I thought that was how it's done, do I just put the compressed file inside?

    No. You do not put a compressed file in your mods folder and expect it to work. It has to be uncompressed, in either a file folder or modpack format. If a folder, it must have a modinfo file within the folder (ex. .../mods/modname/mod.modinfo). If it's a modpack, it must be within the mods folder (ex. /mods/modname.modpack).

    Well I wasn't putting the compressed folders in there so that's not what I did wrong, and yes the mods do have a .modinfo file.

    Okay, but do your mods with a modinfo file match my folder pathway exactly?

    Go to one of your mods - look for the mod info file.
    Copy the entire directory structure and paste it here.

    Code:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Starbound\giraffe_storage\mods\planetCORE\pak.modinfo
    Also you may notice the pak.modinfo file is only a single level below mods
    If its more then 1 level then you have an extra folder.

    Yes they pretty much match that pathway, no extra folders.

    You got something funky going on if the file structure is correct but the mods aren't working.

    What mods are attempting to run?

    Well I'm redoing it anyway but enhanced gore is one, another was a race mod that needs updating anyway, and one was EEB or something like that, a body enhancer

    You're SURE your mods are in the mod folder inside GIRAFFE storage?

    They need ot be in Giraffe and not the regular mod folder?
     
  16. lazarus78

    Giraffe_storage\mod or whatever.

    1. Not your thread to post your problem in. Plus this thread has been dead for 9 months.

    2. You need to be WAY more descriptive.
