Official Modding F.A.Q

Urgh… Sorry if I do sound annoyed a little bit… Well, that because I am. I’ve been trying for hours not getting to Library so I can get to steam maps and do all of that. But when I finally got to the GDT folder there was no mods folder… So, what do I do? I tried to make a “mods” folder but nothing, so I’m asking you for help.

Please, I just want to play some more of this brilliant game.

@Racso Make sure you are using the beta version of game dev tycoon, check the mod instructions on how to do this, you will have to redownload the game.

@SirEverard - Modding came out of beta a few weeks ago so it is not necessary to enable that.

@Racso - Just to confirm you are using the Steam version? and that you are connected to the internet so Steam has updated the game? I would suggest a reinstall of Game Dev Tycoon. Here is a video walkthrough;

Also which OS are you using? WIndows, Mac or Linux?

Ahh okay, my mistake :stuck_out_tongue:

Thanks for the response. I use the steam version on mac, and yeah, I am connected to the internet, but I haven’t got anything about any updating yet. (I think.) So, I will try to reinstall the game and hopefully, that will work. Or else I have to come bak here.

You may find this mod tutorial for macs handy;

I’m very confused, on how to make my own mod. I get, that I need to know HTML, CSS, and JS. But, how do I start modding. There’s a modAPI, in the mods folder. I assume, that’s how I start. However, I can’t open it. Do I need to download a program, or can I use a simple program, like Notepad?

Hi, I got a error message when I clicked on the mods tab

Hey @Charlie, getting too many mods will make workshop support? Or it’s up to valve (or steam)?

how do you pause the game on Steam

@Gamingthrou - It really depends if modding becomes popular enough to warrant it.
@lenton_craig12 - Press the ‘escape’ key.

thanks charlie

I have a downloaded version from the site, not on Steam. How do I get mods to run?

I moved a post to a new topic: [Ques] Code Question

Hey @icuparg4 - In exactly the same way with the exception of navigating to a different address.
For Windows based OS the address should be C:\Program Files (x86)\Game Dev Tycoon\mods if you installed to the default location.

@Natolikin I have moved your post to its own topic :smile:

I need help it gives me an error saying Ultimate libs is not defined

Some mods require the UltimateLib mod. You can get it here:
