How do you get mods to work on the Half - Life 2 MMod Update version?

[Chicken Jockey]

My mods aren't working on the MMod Version for Half - Life 2 update. I already have a custom folder and everything. But I cannot get my mods to work. So how do I get them to work for the Half - Life 2: Update MMod?

It seems mmod comes with custom gameinfo.txt so you might want to check that out since that txt file specifies what content to scan and load (vpk and stuff). Other than that idk what else could be.

I checked the game info but there really wasn't enough information. It just said that it was already connected to the custom folder and was compatible. I even tried editing it for the custom folder to also lead to HL2MMod_HL2U since it didn't mention the folder in that case. I still don't know what to do.

You must create a custom folder and put your addons into every game specific sourcemod (MMOD_HL2, MMOD_HL2U, MMOD_EP1 and so on). Or you can use this mod:
https://gamebanana.com/mods/40726

So it can load addons from the core Hl2MMOD sourcemod folder.

I already have a custom folder. And I already have addons.

Look into your sourcemods folder. Is your custom folder inside a folder called "HL2MMod" (the core folder) or inside game specific folder (HL2MMod_HL2U). Unless you install the mod I linked, the game will NOT load addons that are installed in the core "HL2MMod" folder. And it will only load then from game specific folders like "HL2MMod_HL2U".

Well how does it work exactly? Because I installed the addon you wanted me to but it has the names of the file "HL2MMod_HL2U" so am I supposed to copy and paste in the Half - Life 2: Update folder and port all my original mods there?

Install the addon into sourcemods folder, it will replace gameinfo.txt files in game specific mod folders. You can now install your addons into custom folder inside sourcemods/HL2MMod folder.

Do not put it into common/Half-Life 2 Update folder itself, you are going to break things.

But I already have addons and I already have HL2MMod_HL2U. Can you tell me in a more clearer way?

Let's try this. Backup your addons and reinstall HL2 MMOD from scratch. When you have installed MMOD inside "/Steam/steamapps/sourcemods/" you should have following folders:
HL2MMod
HL2MMod_HL2
HL2MMod_HL2U
HL2MMod_EP1
and so on.

Download the mod: https://gamebanana.com/mods/40726
(use the second download link that says "For MMod 1.3"). Unpack the archive into "sourcemods" folder and say yes to overwrite.

Now go to "/sourcemods/HL2MMod/" and create a folder called "custom" there. Put all of your addons there. Now every variant of MMOD should load addons from that custom folder. See if it works.

If you have episode specific addons (for example dirty combine soldiers which should be only in EP2), install them into that game specific mmod folder (in the case of said dirty combine soldiers "sourcemods/HL2MMod_EP2/custom/").

If you edited some files (like gameinfo.txt) inside "steamapps/common/Half-Life 2 Update" folder, you should verify the integrity of game files. Right click on Half-Life 2: Update in Steam Library -> Properties -> Installed files -> Verify the integrity of game files. Addons inside "steamapps/common/Half-Life 2 Update/custom" folder will load when you play HL2U itself, but will not load when you play HL2U MMOD.

I really hope I explained clearly...

So should I put the custom folder in the HL2MMod_HL2U file or just the HL2MMod file? Just asking because I've now done the instructions told but unsure whether or not if it's HL2MMod or HL2MMod_HL2U or even both. Because I still don't know exactly if I should overwrite HL2MMod with the custom folder mod or the reinstalled version. (And I tried replacing HL2MMod with the reinstallation but it still had the same files as before. Not sure if that's an error or I'm getting on track)

First of all, we are talking of folders and not files. There is an important difference. You first reinstall HL2 MMod. Delete all mmod related folders from sourcemods, then extract them from mmod v1.3 archive from moddb (so now you have new HL2MMod folders inside sourcemods). Then you extract the universal custom folder support mod into the sourcemods folder and say yes to overwrite (it will not overwrite whole folders, it will only overwrite gameinfo.txt files inside them). Then you can install your addons into the custom folder inside HL2MMod folder. Those addons will work in HL2 Update version of MMOD, in Episode One version of mmod, in Episode Two version of mmod and others.

If you want some addons to ONLY work with HL2 Update version of MMOD you can put them into custom folder inside HL2MMod_HL2U. They will work in HL2 Update MMOD, but not in other MMODs.

YOOO IT WORKS THE FIRST TIME. Thank you so much for your help. I've been trying to play modded Half - life 2 for 2 years and got it to work again.

Okay, I need help again. One of my reskin mods isn't working. It's a metropolice and Barney reskin and I checked all any conflicting files in other addons and removed them so that way the mod can function. But it still isn't working. How do I get these mods to work?
