the mods are a lie. google reddit rebel galaxy on the first page or to maybe 3 by today you will find mention of there being no real modding community

any game that goes a year with no mods wont have mods and the devloper has made no attempt to make the game modable. everything from scripts to textures and meshes are in 1 pack file. if they had simply sepperated the game into pultiple ones and had textures in folders the game would have a thriving mod community from retextures and script revisions could be circulated because the file you change would be a small portion of the entire game file size not 4/5 of it

This is the second post I've seen from That Guy on this forum.

It's also the second time my initial impulse is to say "Don't be That Guy" because of both how obvious a line it is, and how relevant it is to his comment.

While he is correct about redditors saying there's no real modding community, and the reasons why, the conclusion he's reached based on that isn't accurate or helpful.

There are mods, they're not user-friendly, but they do exist. I don't personally use mods, but hopefully some of the more active players here will be able to help out. The game lacks the kind of features many Steam games have to support modding, and the devs haven't provided any help (they said they wanted to do so before release, but have so far not done so as far as I'm aware).

Using the mods here is a little bit complicated. Most of the mods didn’t get an update to the latest version of the game which can have some unforeseen results. The whole modding consinst of mainly changes in some text files. No additional routines or anything like that. New 3d models are not part of the possible right now, whereas textures are. We are limited. Every mod results in one type of file: .PAK. Although there could be multiple .PAK files in one mod all I have seen just use one.

General rules for Rebel Galaxy modding:
Download the .PAK file
Copy the .PAK file into your RebelGalaxy\PAKS folder.
Important:

• Never overwrite the DATA.PAK in the PAKS folder
  
• The mod .PAK has to be more recent then the DATA.PAK
  
• When using 2 or more mods the more recent .PAK file will always overwrite the older ones. This is important if mods us the same files and/or the same new IDs in the files which will result in crashes.

PS: If you don’t want to update a mod yourself you could try to ask in the thread for an update. Some might not even now that their mod doesn’t work anymore.

thanks for the information darphinx

I don't remember them saying anything about helping just that while they weren't going to be able to support modding that they weren't going to oppose it, either.

Also-while modding is a bit of a chore it's not impossible. The fact is there isn't a ton of stuff in this game to mod, anyways as this isn't all that deep a game. It's a fun arcady space game not Skyrim.

There are only a few mods that work, thanks to there makers, It's been mentioned a few times that mabe the Enable full modding rights, or at least DLC's

That was what I was remembering (surprised I found it that fast, tbh)
