Cannot get any mods to work - just black screen with FPS numbers...

[jtcbrown]

I am trying to load just *one* mod, so far, just to test / learn.

 

The Enhanced SLDF Gear mod.

 

The mod zip file contains the two folders, data and mods, which - after creating a backup copy of the StreamingAssets folder - I copy to C:\Program Files(x86)\Steam\Steamapps\Common\BATTLETECH\BattleTech_Data\StreamingAssets folder. Overwrite all files when prompted.

 

I then copy the text from the CSV file into the VersionManifest.txt file, using Notepad++ and ensuring to paste it into a new line and before the final, hidden comma of the file, and save the file.

 

Launch game, black screen with "57" displayed in the top right corner. Have let it try to load for over an hour just to be sure, since some posts indicate mods can drastically increase load times.

 

Every mod says "INITIATE OVERRIDE PROTOCOLS (MANDATORY)" but NOBODY explains what that means. I've googled, I've checked the main modding wiki, nothing.

 

Any help apprciated.

I got this working; not sure exactly how, or what was done incorrectly.

 

I do know that the "black screen with FPS number displayed" = your VersionManifest.txt file is messed up or referring / pointing to files that are not in the correct location.
