  Mod Loader

  The Mod Loader is used to import, organize, activate, deactivate, sync, and deploy mods.

  It supports:

  • []Steam deploy path support.[/]

    []Microsoft Store/Game Pass deploy path support.[/]

    []Library folder sync.[/]

    []Incoming drop-folder sync.[/]

    []Deploy folder reconciliation.[/]

    []SHA256 verification after deploy.[/]

    []Automatic V3-compatible repack handling for source paks when needed.[/]

    []Generated 000-0ModIntegration_P.pak support when active mod metadata requires it.[/]

    Conflict Resolver

    The Conflict Resolver is used when active mods touch the same assets and need manual choices.

    It can help with:

    • []INI conflicts.[/]

      []Text conflicts.[/]

      []Readable UAsset value conflicts.[/]

      []Whole-source choices for binary or decoder-blocked assets.[/]

      []Manual result editing for safe scalar rows.[/]

      []Verified merge-pak builds after choices are saved.[/]

      The resolver uses a three-column compare view:

      []Source 1: first mod/source value[/]

      []Source 2: second mod/source value[/]
