Installation Guide and Fixes:
-This mod is in no way offcialy supported by the devs, and is such a community passion project. Mod support has yet to be implimented. There have been no issues with the mod so far. Use at your own risk and always keep backups. I am in no way responsible for what you do to your game. That being said, even if you go around deleting files it is easily fixable.
1.Download the folder-“Star Traders Frontiers SWMOD”. Unzip/Extract the folder. The folder you want will be inside the Extracted folder (e.g the one with all the folders and data in it)
2.Go to C:Program Files (x86)Steamsteamappscommon
3.Move the correct “Star Traders Frontiers SWMOD” folder into the above location.
4.Re-name the orgional “Star Traders Frontiers” folder to “Star Traders Frontiers ORG”
5.Re-name the mod folder “Star Traders Frontiers SWMOD” to “Star Traders Frontiers”
6.The game will now draw it’s resources from the modded folder.
7.To revert back to the vanila game, just change the “Star Traders Frontiers” folder to “Star Traders Frontiers SWMOD”
And change the “Star Traders Frontiers ORG” folder to “Star Traders Frontiers”
The game will pull the resources from whatever folder is called “Star Traders Frontiers”.
If you get “cannot find game .exe” when you try to run it, you have moved the wrong folder.
Saved games will be fine in both versions, only the assest are changed thus no worry. No crashes or issues has arisen so far. If a game update is released, you will likely want to switch back to vanilla till I can update the mod (there will just be some funkey visuals, thats all). If the update or something isn’t working corectly delete the “Star Traders Frontiers” folder, go to steam and click “Verify Game Intergrity” and it will give you and up-to date resources folder. Create a copy of your saved game folder as well if you are at all worried.
Expanded Fix:
If you are running the modded version and the game updates, the game will be fine however the visuals/art will be a mixture of vanilla and mod. The reccomended fix is simply to delete the folder “Star Traders Frontiers” in
C:Program Files (x86)Steamsteamappscommon
And then go to your steam libary, right click, properties, check the tabs till you find verify game cache, click and it will download the latest resource folder.
Once again, this DOES NOT affect or alter the saved game folder.
Download:
The folder “Star Traders Frontires SWMOD”(.zip) can be found here
[Removed for now]
Mod is currently out of date.
Remeber to extract the folder, and move the folder inside the extracted folder (the one with the game files in it).
