DOT MOD Installation

[milesjb]

Is there an installation guide video for the current version of the DOT MOD?

[OldRecluse]

There is one on Youtube

There is one from July of 2021, but it says it"s OUTDATED.

Well, I tried the YouTube video and was unsuccessful.

In the installation instructions, can someone explain to me what" Right click on the address bar and select 'Copy as text' " means and how to do this step. I just can't seem to figure it out.

[milesjb]

Never mind. I figured it out and got it installed. Yaaay !

How did you install it? I followed the vid but it didn't work

The key thing on installing is to Copy the "ColdWaters_Data" folder from the download zip and paste in in the "Cold Waters" folder that the game is in (at the same level as the .exe) overwriting the ColdWaters_Data folder that is already there.

You should be asked if you wish to overwrite 1 file (Assembly-CSharp.dll, it's how we add new code to the game) which you should accept. Aftwewards you should see in "Cold Waters/ColdWaters_Data/StreamingAssets/" a folder called "dotmod" and the game should start up with a DotMod loading screen.

Hi Jack, Where I messed up the first time I tried to install was not doing the"Copy to text" step. Once you are at your Cold Waters file, the address bar is the area or box right above all the files in Cold Waters. you right click on that box and then left click the menu command
"Copy address as text" then continue with the rest of the installation instructions. Hope this helps.

When trying to load up the game with Dot mod I get a error about the mk 37. After that I have two options, quit or try to continue. If I try to continue loading is now stuck.

Simplest Dot Mod installer instructions


----
[INSTALATION INSTRUCTIONS]
WINDOWS:
Github:
Note that DotModInstaller.exe will not work on Windows 7. In such case you can manually extract ColdWaters_Data folder from archive and copy it over ColdWaters_Data in the game folder.

Download the release .zip from the GitHub page. Extract the contents of the .zip file into a folder somewhere where you can find it.
Then, navigate to the Cold Waters directory in which you wish to install the mod in File Explorer. Right-click on the address bar and select "Copy as text."
Return to where you extracted the mod, and launch DotModInstaller.exe. Follow the instructions present in the installer.
Then, the mod should be installed to Jone Soft Generic Mod Enabler (JSGME), which may be called "EpicModInstall" if you used that mod prior to DotMod. Launch that and enable DotMod, as well as any addons you have installed alongside DotMod.
Launch ColdWaters, and if the loading screen appears, you have done everything correctly. Enjoy!

The guide didn't work. I followed it. No mod loading screen, and the game didn't say "Dot Mod" in the bottom-right.
