Guide by Dziggy

Primary Method (recommended)

• []Download and install Mod Engine 2. (Can be installed anywhere on your PC you want - doesn't have to be in the game's folder)  If you are using the Seamless Co-op mod, please refer to this guide for instructions on how to use Mod Engine 2 with it.

• []Download and extract the variant of the mod you want.

  []Move the "menu" folder to be inside Mod Engine 2's "mod" folder.

  []Launch the game through Mod Engine 2.

  Secondary Method

  • []Download the UXM Selective Unpacker tool.

    []Use UXM to fully unpack all of the game's files. (This will use up another 50 GB of hard drive space and the original packed files cannot be deleted)

    []Use UXM to patch the game's executable file. (This allows the game to load the unpacked files instead of the original packed files)

    []Download and extract the variant of the mod you want.

    []Move the "menu" folder to the game's main install directory, overwriting the original files.

  • You will need to find a way to disable the game's anti-cheat. There are several different methods to do this, you can search to find one you want to use.

    Other Mod Compatibility (Guide by Tomanton22)

    If you unpack the archive file 01_common.tpf.dcx with Yabber, you will find a file called SB_FE.dds. This file is a texture file that includes a bunch of UI elements including the lock-on dot reticle.

    If another mod replaces some other file in the same archive, then you can just unpack 01_common.tpf.dcx of the other mod, copy/paste my version of SB_FE.dds to the resulting folder, and repack with Yabber.

    However, if a specific UI element in SB_FE.dds is also replaced in another mod and you want to have both replacements, you will have to convert SB_FE.dds to some format that you can edit with an image editor and then create a third image that includes the replacement with both mods. I always use Paint.net to open and convert .dds files to .png, and then use GIMP to edit the images.
