Can't get legacy mods to work. about linkermod HOT 16 CLOSED

Can you provide a bit more info? What does the directory you've set up look like? What mod are you attempting to use? etc.

from linkermod.

I'm attempting to use my own mod. It works just fine if I replace the files manually. Here's the directory.

from linkermod.

Are you using game_mod 1.0.0 or are you using 1.0.1?

from linkermod.

1.0.1

from linkermod.

Can you send me the package? I'm fairly certain it should work and don't really understand why it doesn't.

Do you know what the problem could be?

from linkermod.

I'm not really sure why its not loading correctly, all of the steps that you listed are completely reproducible and have the same results that you said they had for you. The best advice I can offer for the time being is to recompile the mod as a normal mod.

How exactly do you install linkermod?

from linkermod.

Put all of the compiled DLL's in /bin and open each tool with a command such as launcher_ldr linker_pc.dll linker_pc.exe myargs.

I finally got it working.

The problem was I was loading the mod without an IWD since I have only done scripting so far with my mod. Apparently you have to include the IWD no matter what, something you should add to the legacy mods tutorial.

Also, I was able to load the mod with and without the _override suffix, is that suppose to happen?

Not really

This doesn't really explain why Rollon's gun mod worked but your's didn't, though...

from linkermod.

I just did a test.
Deleted the IWD, didn't work again. Readded the IWD and then it works. It definitely was not having the IWD which caused the problem. It also still works with or without _override suffix. I don't know why mine is working differently but I'm glad I found a fix.

from linkermod.

When you say "with or without suffix" you mean "common_zombie_patch.ff" works too? Or did you mean "mod.ff"? Either way I'm not really sure why the issue was that it was missing an IWD...

from linkermod.

common_zombie_patch

I realize now that my mod isn't a legacy mod, and just a normal game_mod mod...
