    I kinda destroyed my bootstrap.config file after putting mods, and when opening the game: it always shows this error:
    JsonParsingException: Error parsing json: unexpected character parsing word at 3:21

    can you guys give me the original text of the file?
    Here's the text in my bootstrap.config:

    {
    "assetSources" : [,

    "../assets",

    ],

    "modSource" : "../mods",
    "storageDirectory" : ".."
    }
    is it right?
    pls help im new in modding

    That's not right.

    "assetSources" : [


    No comma ( , ) there.

    linux 32, linux64 and win32 folders all have an identical bootstrap.config, if you've messed up one just copy one of the others.
     
  5. Code:
    {
      "assetSources" : [
        "../assets"
      ],
      "modSource" : "../mods",
      "storageDirectory" : ".."
    }
    
    remember to use the json validator when you are about to edit json files : http://jsonlint.com/

    Delete it and verify the integrity of the game cache within steam.

    Just out of curiosity, why were you editing bootstrap? We haven't had to do that since two patches ago to install mods.

    According to the wiki, it is required to edit the bootstrap.config to add mods to the mods folder, my game doesnt have a bootstrap.config for some reason.

    Thread necros are only deemed acceptable if the thread is still relevant and the necro itself is on-topic. While you are indeed on-topic, this thread is more than three years old and is dealing with an issue that has already been resolved. I don't even know how you managed to find this thread.

    Anyway, I'm going to go ahead and close off this thread, since OP's issue has been resolved.
