planetbase Mods Don't Appear in Mods List

[daboyadjian]

Hey Guys;

 

Does patching work with a planetbase game that is downloaded using torrents? or does it only work when you download from Steam?

 

if it doesn't patch correctly then.. ok :tongue:

 

but if we can patch a torrented planetbase then:

 

i downloaded every version of the game, and tried both types of patchers (the one compatible with 1.1.1 and the newer release)

i followed all the instructions about 20 times.

 

when i start the game (in every trial) i get the P at the end of the version #, and get the Mod List on the left side. but the only thing listed is "Planetbase Framework". nothing else underneath. (this is always after i've added at least 1 mod to the Documents/Planetbase/Mods folder)

 

am i missing something?

 

whoever has the time, i could really appreciate your help.

 

thank you

Hi daboyadjian!

I will answer in order to your questions:

1) Mods and Patch work!
I now have the latest version of the game 1.3.6. and everything is fine with the mods.
And I want to note that with Mods the game is much more pleasant and interesting!

 

2) about torrent versions.
- Answering in one word: yes, it works on torrents too.
- answering in more detail:
The fact is that there are a huge number of versions and layout options for the game on torrents.
To answer your question, I downloaded several different versions of the torrent.
On the game version 1.2. one mod stopped working. - https://www.nexusmods.com/planetbase/mods/23?tab=posts&BH=0
On the game version 1.3.6. all my mods work!
Just in case, I will give a link to the torrent with which the testing was conducted. And with this torrent testing was successful, all the mods have earned.
- torrent link to the game 1.3.6 on which the patch was tested.
https://torrent-igruha.org/?do=download&id=14549 This torrent is based on the GOG version of the game.

 

I note that I bought a game in Steam. By the way, now the game is very cheap there, a symbolic price for such a game.

 

3) Why didn't Mods work for you?
The fact is that there are 2 patches for working with mods.
You just used the wrong patch.
It was necessary to use Patch number 1 https://www.nexusmods.com/planetbase/mods/1, which was the very first to be done. It both worked initially, and it still works.
Also in the Patch in the kit you need to install the Redirector:
https://www.nexusmods.com/planetbase/mods/3
And after that all mods on almost all versions of the game should work for you.

 

 

Your mistake was that you installed patch number 2:
https://www.nexusmods.com/planetbase/mods/35
This patch has now stopped working.
Why it doesn’t work: my opinion is that this Patch number 2: I need an additional file similar to the “Redirector”.
A file called "ReDirector Fix" at https://www.nexusmods.com/planetbase/mods/34

 

But something happened and the developer of mod2 deleted this file and deleted himself from the site. (This is my opinion, maybe everything was a little different).

The difference between Patch2 and Patch1 is that Patch2 additionally provided visualization on the boot screen about which Mods were connected to the game. Now this visualization is not, unfortunately.
But with Patch1 all mods continue to work!

 

 

4) It would be great if Patch2 worked again.
4.1) It is possible that someone left on their hard drive a "ReDirector Fix" file. Many people managed to download a file before this file was deleted from the site.
If such people who have this file missing go to this site again - send this file and please help the community!

 

4.2) Perhaps somewhere else on the Internet it is possible to find the missing file.
For example, on the Github site you need to search. Perhaps the author of Patch2 laid out the code there.

 

By the way, I found on a github a file called "ReDirector Fix"
https://github.com/gtbeazley/Chicken-Crimpy-Repository/commit/a331f07b92c07b355ab6f42701105c2f53678d76#diff-d17f8ee57006cb7b0617854fd2203c6a
But I don’t understand the Github and I can’t understand whether this file or not.

 

4.3) It is possible to re-patch Patch2. Such a patch that will show which particular mods are connected to the game, and which are not.
If someone has done this before, then for sure it will be possible to do it again.

 

5) Total: so that all mods work for you:
- install the game. (I am using the latest version 1.3.6).
- install Patch1 https://www.nexusmods.com/planetbase/mods/1
- Install the Redirector: https://www.nexusmods.com/planetbase/mods/3
- then install all other Mods.
- enjoy the game with cool mods and have fun! :-)

Hi, WanderA101!

Did you manage to solve your problem?

I never had any problems installing the patcher.

By the way, did you install Redirector? The redirector must also be installed when you install Patcher-1.

 

You also write that you installed Patcher-2 earlier. I did not work with patcher-2. Can you send Patcher-2 file so that I can see what this program is?

 

 

[NeoRider7]

I want to share the information that was sent to me on the topic of solving problems with the work of the Patcher for the game Planetbase:

 

"The problem of all the people come because some files in the Planetbase directory are flagged as "read only".
So the Mod Patcher cannot do his job.
The solution is to go inside the Planetbase directory then there to select all (both directories and files) and to look for "properties".
You will see that the Attribute box is checked in black.
So click the box until it become free then click "Apply" then answer in the new windows "do this for all files and subdirectories".
Close the property and check again.
IF the Attribute box is clear then you can re-apply the mod patcher, this time it will work.

For those people who got black windows, the best is to un-install, to clean "planetbase" entry with regedit and then to reinstall properly.
Then check the attributes until it is all clear then patch with Mod Patcher. "
