Darkest Dungeon MODDING Troubles.

[NickOfAlistar]

Hey everyone. I'll try to keep things short and only mention my main issues. The game is launched using Epic Games launcher. Note that the only mods I install

are skin mods.

 

1. The Blue hammer.

The blue hammer that is usually seen next to the DLC mini menu on the main menu is missing. Going through the files of the game, the mods folder only contains one item (preview_icon). Transferring mod files to the mods folder does not make the blue hammer appear in the main menu, nor does it get implemented in the game.

 

2. The Old vs The New

Since the Blue hammer doesn't appear in the menu, I have resorted to manually modding the game files (unzipping, giving appropriate names, and placing the mods in their designated files). For "older" mods like the shindoL collection, it has posed no problems and runs normally. Though with the "newer" mods, the mods are implemented in the game, but they appear to be "glitchy" to varying degree. Some would have a compressed sprite sheet with its individual limbs as the "idle" and "walking" animation but have their "battle" and "camping" animation normal, while others would have a complete colour distortion. 

 

That pretty much sums it up. Any tips on how to resolve these issues?

 

Side note: I get my skins from both Steam Workshop and nexusmods.
