The Modding Tool Guide

If you think getting the tool to work is as easy as downloading it from steam, you are wrong.

Intro

Hello, this game is great and deserves mods that are great too, I hope you can make amazing mods! But, sadly, as this game lacks English guides, you won't have a good time even getting the modding tool to work, so let's work on that first!

Downloading The Tool

The first step is very simple and it's to download the tool that comes with the game!

Do the following (Images provided):

1. Go to your library


2. Show tools


3. Download the tool, make sure you pick a drive with around ~60 gb, you need less then that, but it's the recommend amount.

Downloading Epic & Unreal Engine

Annoyingly, you will need both the epic game launcher and Unreal Engine, at the very moment, this is what you have to do, hopefully at some point it'll not require their download.

Again, images provided, follow, if you need help, ask down below.

1.
Open the location of the mod tools using steam. Right click > Manage > Browse Local Files.



2. Within, open the "ModTools" folder and install Epic using the installer present, if you already have epic, you may skip this. Install Location matters not, but default one likely will cause less issues in the future.


3. Now, once you installed Epic, logged in or created an account, you may download Unreal Engine. First step is to go to the Unreal Engine Section. It's under library in the Epic Games Launcher.


4. Once you do that, you must now download the specific version of Unreal Engine. To begin, go to the library of Unreal Engine, under the Unreal Engine tab.


5. To download, press the plus icon you see, it will add a new element.


6. Now select the drop down and select the specific version we need, which is 4.26, we actually need 4.26.2 but it should get downloaded automatically if you choose 4.26.


7. Then, if you made sure the version is 4.26.2, press the "Install" button and wait for the download.


8. Make sure it looks like this:

Opening The Mod Tool

Now, we can launch the tool and get into it! First you have to launch Unreal Engine for it to setup things and created needed files, simply run it once and close it.

To run it, simply press Launch, once it opens, select a project type, gaming is best, and once everything loads in the project, close it:


Now launch the mod tools through steam:



You now can start! Some like me sadly are not able to easily launch it from steam, but if you can, great! You can now go and make mods! Check the other sections!

If you cannot and you get an error, follow these steps.

1. Open the mod tools location again.


2. Open Unreal Engine

3. You should see your test project you made, ignore it, select "more"


4. Now, press browse:


5. A window will appear belonging to file explorer, ignore it for now, copy the location of the mod tools, it's the window we opened a while back, go back to step 1 if you forgot:


6. Paste the location in the window that just opened and press enter:


7. Finally scroll down to "HMS_00.uproject" and open it, that's it!

It will take a while to load for the first time, afterword however, it will load much quicker, once it does load, you can really start!

@KptFlame, I myself didn't upload any mods yet, but it's either after you import the mod into the game and open the "Manage mod" button, if not, in the modding tool there could be a "Steam Workshop" button.

Hello, that's pretty cool guide thank you !

But what should we do when we've finish our work to post it directly into the workshop ?
Did Steam scann game files and offer you the ability to post it ?

I'm new in the modding steam verse ahah

Thanks Adeptus. ^^

@Teirdalin, sadly none that I can find. From what I know the modding tool is not very complete yet, devs said they'll update it along with the game to add more features, good chance is you can't add armor and items yet.

I looked at many Chinese guides, the Chinese wiki for the game, YT vids, and more, wan't able to find anything on actually adding items or similar things.

Course, don't let me stop you from trying, many people were able to get over bigger hurdles in games so I don't see why you can't, if I find something I'll let you know (;

[Teirdalin]

I don't suppose you know of an armor/weapon modding guide for it by chance?

[Teirdalin]

Saving this for reference for when I really wanna dive into this nonsense. I got so many armors and weapons from my Kenshi modding that will work great in this game.
