Using both Frosty and Explorer Mod Managers

Recommended Posts

So, can I keep all the mods I had installed with MEAExplorer and then use Frosty to install new mods or do I need to delete all the mods I installed with Explorer first before I use Frosty?

 

I hope this question makes sense, I just woke up and half my brain is still asleep.

Truth be told I am asking myself this question as well, tbh I didn't see any reason why it wouldn't be possible, but I earlier today tried loading two of the new mods for Frosty and it caused my game to freeze at start up twice and the third time the game client simply shut down, so now I'm not so sure :huh:

 

Seeing as I can't get the texture feature for Frosty to work and the dark UI is a bit too straining on my eyes, for now I'm going to stick with only MEAExplorerWV :mellow:

I don't know if we can use them both at the same time. It's confusing to me. I've read that we're supposed to have a vanilla copy of the game when we install the mods into Frosty and then run the game using Frosty. If we don't run the game using Frosty then just the vanilla game will load. But, then can we install the mods that use Explorer after installing the Frosty ones? Does replacing the Ansel files mess anything up when we run the game in Frosty? So many questions. I feel kind of dumb. :psyduck:

Don't think you should be, feeling dumb I mean, it is all still really new and I think everyone (including myself) is still trying to figure things out :blush:

 

I say give it a little time and hopefully more info will surface :wink:

You can use Frosty Editor to convert a MEAExplorer mod into a Frosty mod. It is extremly easy (File->Import MEAMOD, followed by File->Export to Mod). Sadly it does not work with all mods (mainly ones that change textures).

Ohhh... hrmm... okay. Has anyone tried converting the following mods so far? Would these kinds of mods probably not work?

Tested it with Profile No Cooldown, Shut Up SAM and Marksman - Mattock rebalance and all three worked.

 

Softcore Space Porn, Armor Parts Swap and Underarmor Casual (Long) may not be importable with Frosty because it has problems with textures from MEAMODs (had this error with wavebends crosshair mod, so it would depend on the mod if you can convert it, it may work or not).

 

The rest should be convertible.

Thanks, that helps me so much just knowing that! Do you think when patch 1.08 drops it will make everything scrambled for mods or do Frosty Mods not get messed up by new patches?
