Custom Mod-Loader

Guide to setup custom mod-loader for DRG. drg-mod-integration.

The advantages of custom-modloader

You can play with mods that makes your session [MODDED], with [MODDED] at the end of your nickname means you can't get achievements and XP and Credits doesn't received from the mission with [MODDED] mark.

You can play with some mods without Installation on your friends side, like more player balanced in the default ingame mod support everyone of the team have to be installed mod to get off limit of 4 players.

Play with sandbox mods on your save file, because normally you can't do it, you have to create second save file to play with sandbox mods if you doing it like with your ingame tab mods

It's cool, isn't it? Well then, let's get to installing and configuring this all goodness, the miners!

Downloand and Installing

You just need to download a custom mod-loader from that link: https://github.com/trumank/drg-mod-integration

You have to chose a releases, under about section on the right of the page


In the release section we shall choose a right version of the program that supposed to work on your OS, Windows or Linux


On Windows:
After download you shall extract archive:

Go to the directory where you downloaded the archive itself.

Then follow the steps described in the screenshot


Extracting content from an archive:


A dialog box with parameters for the extraction:


Run the custom mod loader itself:


On Linux:
After download you shall extract archive:

Go to the directory where you downloaded the archive itself.

In the directory of archive extract it with GUI archiver (File Roller, XArchiver, etc.)

Or through Terminal:

 tar -xJf drg_mod_integration-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.tar.xz 

After that you shall go to the directory of custom mod-loader

 cd drg_mod_integration-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu 

And launch it

 ./drg_mod_integration 

After Launching:
You will get a window with mod loader, you can leave it untouched for now, because we are moving on to the next arcticle of our guide, do not worry, dwarfs with Windows PC considering everything related to the computer "black magic", further will not be difficult if you will observe everything according to the guide

Creating API Key, token

If your account is not registered on the site mod.io, log in through any convenient service (in our case Steam, because how else did you get to our guideline :D) through the login button on the top right:


When you have logged into your Account on mod.io, on you need to create all sorts of keys for the Custom Mod Loader to work properly, do the following:

Go to the website - https://mod.io/g

Perform the actions from the screenshots:


Then:


After that you must accept the API Access Terms to request an API key

After creating OAuth Access under you named client you shall create token, name it, create it and copy it, that token we will use in the our custom mod loader:




You got a token? Well done, miners! Now moving on to the next arcticles.

Adding token to the mod-loader

In the mod-loader we need to setup our token



Moving on, the miners

Adding mods

This article will be edited into "language understandable to all" a little later.

After all of that you can copy your mods from the game

In the pause menu, in the mod section there's a copy mod url's button, click on it and paste it in the mod loader, in the "Add mod..." section and press Enter to download them

To enable mods in the game click on "Install mods" button

To disable them "Uninstall mods" button

You can disable certain mods on clicking on slider switch

Also if you want to update them click on "Update cache" it may be long because mod.io have rate limits

After Installing mods with the mod-loader in the game you "Mods" section should be doesn't available
