Hi, tested it with a nomod start (0.5.24c win64), then added JUST my tweaks and loaded the save, absolutely no prob, same as all other tests

To clarify "refused to load" and to see the message in the console window (if theres a bug then 99.999% of time a message shows), easiest way is to share your save.

1. Find your save at "C:\Users\YOURNAME\AppData\Roaming\Strive\saves"

2. Use pastebin (takes 5sec, no need to create account, just copy+paste and share link here), google drive or whatever service you want to share (pasting in a reply here might be too many char, and will bloat the thread)

Ill test your save, since I cant replicate any issue without it

P.S. please use "reply" to keep this in one thread :)

after copy-pasting all files from current version 1.3 to my game folder/files i get this:

its not problem with saves, i cant even start new game, i have no idea what is happening

i have game on disk D when saves are apparently on C, using W7 pro, newest version

what i m doing wrong?

Most mods are not applied by copying the files into the game folder, but rather by coping them into the game's mod folder. You will need a fresh set of game files before anything will work since you improperly replaced them. For most windows users the location of the mod folder will be C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Strive\mods except with the appropriate user name instead of USERNAME. The AppData folder tends to be hidden, so I recommend changing the path in the navigation bar rather than navigating via opening the folders. Once the mod's folder in in the game's mod folder you can activate the mod through the in-game mod menu.

Thanks @ankmairdor, yeh thats true @angeraw

As it says in the "Modding Help" sticky thread at top of this forum (follow link in there) you install mods by copying them to your mods directory then using the "Mods" button/interface in the game

https://itch.io/t/281510/modding-help

https://strive4power.fandom.com/wiki/Modding_Guide

This modding system works great for users, you can safely update your main install (kept separate from mods directory) and enable/disable any mods you want at any time.

Ill put a note at top of OP for it, just remember always a good idea to check out sticky threads in future :)

Hope that helps

i m so sorry for all this, i was looking for any "how to instal mod" and since ur files was 1:1 as game files i just tryed simplest method

have a good day i ll test it when i find time

EDIT: mod works fine, i cant see previous next slave option, but game works and i can see more data without scouting thru all windows

good to hear :)

Btw, i modify as few files as possible, and the ui is pretty decent already, so see my description for each change

For next/prev slave its either page_up/page_down (in mansion) or up arrow/down_arrow (inventory/gear) keys, no ui buttons for those atm
