Modding Help Help mods won't work

Everything I try the mods still won't work. I tried doing what the creators instructed and it does nothing. I tried doing the bootstrap method and I'm stuck at the loading screen. Any help would be appreciated as I see many people using mods and I still can't even get 1 to work

 

it dont help if you dont say witch mod you try to install...

 

Ok.. All mods

 

Please be less specific.

 

Here are the ones I want to work though
Alchemylab
Animal armor mod
Arcsmods
Fuel plus
Portable teleporter
TStech

 

this is my bootstrap

 

well if in your mod folder there is all your mod, simply make your boostrap like that

Code:

{
  "assetSources" : [
    "../assets",
    "../mods"
  ],
  "storageDirectory" : ".."
}

if still lock at loading screen send your log

 

Could you clarify. I'm not understanding

 

error after edit

 

this booststrap take every mods in your mods folder and load them.

the error you miss write something in the boostrap, like forget a comma or something like that

 

I wrote exactly what your wrote....

 

Ok, fixed it but still stuck at loading screen. How to I get a log?

 

you sure you paste and copy over yours?

 

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Starbound, file is name starbound.log

 

What you want is to have a bootstrap.config file that looks like this:

Code:

{
  "assetSources" : [
    "../assets",
    "../mods"
  ],
  "storageDirectory" : ".."
}

which is the same as above.

You then want to go to your .../Steam/SteamApps/common/Starbound/ folder, and make a folder called "mods".
You want to put all the mods inside this "mods" folder.

Try installing each mod one at a time, making sure each works before installing the next.

If it's stuck on the loading screen, it means there is an error with the items.

well that is a simple error

it mean that there is 2 or more items in your mod file call beararmorhead (nameid)

 

Do I only need one? Or do I have to keep them

 

You'll notice close to the bottom of the log it says:

Error: Exception caught in Thread Async root loader: ItemException: Duplicate item name 'beararmorhead' found

That's your issue.

Is 'beararmorhead' from one of the mods? Actually, it does seem like it is from the the debug code that follows it, being from the Animal Amor mod.

What I would do is disable the animal armor mod, and see what happens.

If your bootstrap.config has each mod still listed, as in:

Code:

{
  "assetSources" : [
    "../assets",
    "../mods/AlchemyLab",
    "../mods/Animal Armor Mod",
  ],
  "storageDirectory" : ".."
}

remove the Animal Armor Mod, otherwise, remove the folder from the mods folder if you changed the bootstrap.config to

Code:

{
  "assetSources" : [
    "../assets",
    "../mods"
  ],
  "storageDirectory" : ".."
}

See what happens.

 

one of them need to be erase, there is 2 of your mod (or more) fight each other, because got same name id for a items
you got 2 solution, ether remove one of the mod who have same items or edit the mod (who is a lot more long)
