This mod deals with your mod.io SUBSCRIBED mods. It will only deal with mods that you have SUBSCRIBED to. People in your lobby will only be able to download mods that you have SUBSCRIBED to. So if you have no mods subscribed, get subscribing :)
What is this mod?
Well im glad you asked! This mod works as both mod.io subscription integration and a Fusion extension! Currently, the mod REQUIRES Fusion to be installed for it to function. (This is intentional)
Features
- Mod.io Subscription Auto Downloading (On Game Boot)
- Auto Updating of Subscribed Mods
- Ability to uninstall mods (That have been installed with this mod)
- Ability to download the Hosts Subscribed mods in a Fusion lobby (If they have this mod)
- Realtime modloading, instantly use mods that you have downloaded midgame without a game restart!
How do I use this?
Installation
Drag the ModioModNetworker dll from "Mods" into your Mods folder.
How to link your mod.io account (IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ FULLY)
When you first launch the game with this mod, a folder will be created in your game directory labeled "ModioModNetworker". (Your game directory is the directory containing your Bonelab exe)
Inside of this folder, there will be a txt file labeled auth.txt.
This txt file contains the remaining instructions to finish linking your mod.io account to the mod. Don't worry, its a fairly simple process.
Restart your game after finishing the instructions.
If you finished all the steps in the txt and it still does not function, see the "COMMON ISSUES" section of this page.
I've set it all up now, whats next?
Well, say goodbye to manually downloading your mods and handling all that zip and drag nonsense. You can now easily install your mods directly from mod.io by pressing subscribe on them!
Unfortunately, if you already had mods installed previously that you didn't subscribe to, you need to subscribe to them to get the benefits this mod provides. (Being able to share it in a lobby, having it autoupdate, etc.)
A small annoyance with the mod is the fact that it will reinstall mods that you subscribed to even if you technically already have them. This will only happen once. This is because the mod has no prior knowledge of mods installed without it. There will not be duplicates, your old mods will get overwritten.
How do I download mods from other people?
When you enter a lobby and the host has this mod installed, there will be a button in the "ModIoNetworker" tab in Bonemenu labeled "Host's Mods"
From there, you can view all the mods the host of the lobby has subscribed to and download them.
Again, the mods will hotload midgame, so they will be instantly usable when they finish.
COMMON ISSUES
I followed the instructions in auth.txt and it still isnt working, whats wrong?
Things that could have went wrong:
- You pasted in your KEY and not your TOKEN. They are two different things, paste your TOKEN.
- You have extra characters or missing characters in your auth.txt. Make sure you keep the AuthToken= section of the auth.txt.
If you double checked all these potential problems and the mod still does not function, you can contact me directly on Discord at notnotnotswipez#0001 and I will try to assist you.
