There's more but too much to type.

 

EM2: "Runtime Error!

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusuall way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information."

 

Yyesh, done.

 

how you open the folder

 

That happened to me earlier because the save was basically dependant on mods. Mods ERRYWHERE.
Fix ur mods, dood.

 

Fix my mods Via...?

 

I tried to download a mod that would extend the Glitch starship, but it doesn't seem to work. This is what the code currently looks like (the mod is simply called "glitch"):

Code:

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

I tried to change it to match the example, but it crashes the game. Any ideas?

 

Yea. One idea. Stop editing the bootstrap file. This tutorial is outdated. We don't do this anymore.
Your bootstrap should look like this:

Code:

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

If it doesn't, then fix it and leave it that way forever.
Do not edit this file for individual mods.

If the mod you downloaded is itself outdated, you may need to change or add a few things to get it working. You'll have to paste a link to the mod so someone (possibly me, but whomever is fine) can look over it for you and tell you what needs to be changed or fixed.

----------------------------------------------

Oh, sorry I didn't reply, though I can't be much help regardless. Mods break for different reasons.
...............but in your case it seems fairly simple: you removed a mod, your save broke. So, put the mod back.
You'll have to fix it's version setting, but otherwise it should work fine if it worked before the patch.

 

stuck on step 4...can you show this with more instructions to get the boot. blah... i lack computer skills. if some one already has this answer could u post me a link.

 

What about adding a mod to an official multiplay server? I haven't found any guides for that yet.

 

Well I think I'm just give up on mods this doesn't make any sense to me.

 

if this tutorial is outdated , then can some1 edit the original post with a link to the new way of doing things?

 

Tutorial to install mods:

1. Paste the mod folder (mod folder will include the modinfo.modinfo) into /starbound/mods/

Enjoy.

 

is my starbound outdated or somthing with my boostrap file the way described above it throws me an error,


" asset exception: no such asset'/assets.config'
0050d090

 

Reinstall Starbound, or delete the boostrap file.

 

ok so as long as the mod contains the file.modinfo file it should automatically work?

 

YES!

 

and if they dont? (yes i am using steam starbound not an illigitimate one.)

 

Check the starbound.log (in starbound root) and probably it will say what is the error

 

this is what my bootstrap file looks like after i reinstalled starbound

{
"assetSources" : [
"../assets/packed.pak",
"../assets/music",
"../assets/user"
],
"modSource" : "../mods",
"storageDirectory" : ".."
}

another thing this novakid mod i installed to the mods folder doesnt work, nor does the better mining mod :/

i notice it says initialize joystick does it mean regular pc or direct x?
