[FIXED] Mods enabled, but don't work

from Sins Forums

I have downloaded a mod that makes capital ships move in Entrenchment.

The mod is enabled and checksum says 0

The mod references entity files that already exist and are listed in the entity.manifest file yet the mod doesn't work.

I tried editing the game files directly to see if the issue was with the mod, and the files do indeed work, so how do I get the mod to work without having to change the actual physical game files?

Make sure you have downloaded the latest entrenchment version1.01,  Version 1.0 has a bug within it that kept the expansion from reading mods placed in the mods folder.

Also make sure the mod you place is directly in and not inside a (sub) folder like when you extract it form a zip file!

Mod must be one click away (ie. folder name..I click on it I get the gameinfos,etc...) if I click and it leads me to the name of the mod again (a folder in a folder) thne itll load but NOT play out (what youre getting right now!

I'm running the latest Entrenchment v1.01

The mod has the following path and is directly in my Mods-Entrenchment v1.01 folder:

Mods-Entrenchment v1.01>Mod Name>entity files

 

Still doesn't work.

What mod are you trying to run? Is it Entrechement worthy yet?

Just to be clear....this is what you see if you open up for folder:

Mods-Entrechement v.1.01>Mod Name> files with .entity and such

 

and not:

Mods-Entrechement v.1.01>Mod Name>GameInfo, Textures, Sounds, etc. etc.

The mod is Movable Starbases Tiny Mod

Yes the path listed above is correct. There are 2 files within the Mod Name folder
They are the following:
StarBasePsi.entity
StarBaseTech.entity

I can edit the actual entity files in my install directy gameinfo folder and get it to work that way, but I was hoping I can spare them and get this mod to work.

You did it wrong. Those files should be in /GameData/ underneath the mod name folder.

Thanks Carbon016!!

It works now.

Correct path is:

Mods-Entrenchment v1.01>Mod Name>GameInfo>entity files
