Ahh yes, the mod load order, that most archaic, esoteric and mystical list of sacred placement. We all have our own versions of what is right, what works, what goes where, etc. The problem, however, is just that, we all have our own versions as there really is no definitive guide on the subject. Considering the number of mods available, such a thing might be near impossible as well.
In that vein, I am simply proposing a thread wherein we share our mod lists in order. This would allow everyone to compare and try to draw logical conclusions as to how to setup their own servers.
My current list, in singleplayer, is shorter than others Iāve used in the past, but seems to be working for me so far -
ModControlPanel
Fashionist
Savage Steel Vol 1
Arena Pier
Emotes for Thralls
Pythagoras Support Beams
LBPR Additional Features
LBPR
Immersive Armor
(I did also have DryBuildingsIndoors at the bottom of the list, but that got discontinued for obvious reasons.)
I donāt know how much use that is for server owners - but I guess every little helps, maybe
Every bit of information is helpful, really. The more we add, the more we can compare and find how things work best, or what kind of wiggle room exists. Weāll drop ours up shortlyā¦weāve been rearranging, amongst other things, hence where the idea came from
And itās wrong. Your first list was far closer to being accurate then this new one. Itās like you took my instructions for LBPR and threw them out the window. (Narelle took a screenshot of it).
Slightly uncalled for response my man. Wasnāt starting this to see whoās right and wrong. Simply showing what has been used and is working. If it doesnāt continue to work, then so be it but, as of now, it is working and holding. A statement like āand itās wrongā implies thereās only one way for mods to load. Last I checked, no such perfect order exists, hence why I started this thread.
Iām not arguing about who the author is whatsoever nor your knowledge on the subject but the attitude of āholier than thouā is completely unnecessary. If your only input here is simply that anyway who doesnāt follow your word is āwrongā, then yes, kindly see your way out.
Multigun was just saying that he knows how he has coded his mod (LBPR) and what it takes for it to run correctly. He is indeed āholier than thouā when it comes to his own mods. If you come with an issue on the mod, the first thing we will ask you to do is move it below any and all mods that add placeables, building pieces and thralls. I gave you the order supported by a couple of reputable modders but you chose to ignore it, I suppose you do you
I will agree with this part, but you make it sound like he was speaking in a polite manner.
As he should be, since he understands them better. Iām not sure when, though, I attacked his knowledge.
Information that is good to know and, if we do indeed encounter an issue from our setup, we will bare that in mind.
Ignored it? No, I have simply been dealing with other things and have not read through it. Our list was altered today (as I believe you are aware already) by a simple suggestion from another player. Since weād already stripped our server down, we threw it on to try it out. As of this writing, itās still holding and we have yet to encounter a major issue, though we have not tested thoroughly by any means.
Now if you can explain to me where in this simple idea you or anyone can find cause for such an attitude to be dropped, please let me know.
Itās actually relatively simple. Either you stick to the manufacturerās specifications or, in case of doubt, you are alone with your problem. Everyone is free to ignore the instructions for a product. Everyone is free to hold the hammer not by the handle but by the head, but keep the complaint to yourself that you canāt drive a nail into the wall with it.
So therefore the well-intentioned advice to all who read this thread: trust the modders. They have the experience and the view on the internals of the mod and know better what to consider than anyone else. The load orders donāt exist for free or because we modders were bored. They have a purpose. Just because a different load order seems to work with a specific set of mods doesnāt make it an alternative. You wanted our support in case of problems? Then stick to our guidelines. If in doubt, we will refuse any support until your mod order meets our specifications.
I honestly see no point in continuing to engage in this discussion. The ship has sailed on this one. You had a relatively good load order with some problematic mods, I thought I would support the cause and give you and everyone else some guidance. Then you went ahead and basically ignored everything posted and came up with a completely random order that is supposedly working until we find out it is not. I guess we are all tired of people who refuse to listen but then they come to us for help or worse to demand us to fix their mess. I will see myself out.
Edit: If the point of this thread is for everyone to post their mod order just for the sake of posting it, then my apologies I have misunderstood your intend. In my personal opinion, a wrong mod order spread around is worse than no order being followed as this will inevitably result in increasing the number of issues and reports which both modders and users will have to deal with which is why people called you out.
What the hell guys!! I have a lot of respect for those who make Mods for Conan and all the other games out thereā¦ Mulitgun made his point the argument / discussion was over and YET more of you pipe up carrying it on like Mothers at the school gate. If you read every Mod Authors order and follow them to the āTā then some mods would need to share the same spot in the load order. Which is impossible. This thread was created so the community can share their ideas of how they have their Load Orders work best for them. Should We have issues down the line the Order list will be reevaluated. But until then we have an order that is working. So if others post their lists lets all be adultsā¦ look them over and think before we start pulling it apartā¦ If issues arise then we can say āOh hey have you thought of putting X Mod after Y Mod?ā. We are not saying that our order is gospel. We are not saying āHEy YoU ShOulD fOlLoW wHAt We DonEā . No. Itās just a simple thread to share ideas and experiences. If others wish to copy its on them. Just like if you copy someones homeworkā¦ it never works out.
Sorry not sorry if you relate to being the child or mother in this.
