UG just dumped a patch on us with NO explenation on whats changed and I can’t find any guides anywhere! I have tried putting mods in the new ‘Mod’ folder, nothing. I have tried unzipping them as well, nothing. Please stop me feeling like an idiot!

I’ve already updated my NSB Stadler Flirt mod. Feel free to download it and have a look at what’s needed.

There’s an upcoming update for the TFModManager on tf.net which will do some automatic ‘conversion’ from the old system to the new. Don’t know when it comes though.

Do I install it with TFMM or put it in the mods folder manually or what?

~\Steam\SteamApps\common\Train Fever\mods
Each mod will have it’s own folder, like so:

Is there no official guide from the devs about this? Surely such a major change has SOME kind of documentation or readme file?

Then it will appear in the mod list in the game menu.

Have now changed it to just this….

Is this right? If so, nothing is showing in the game mod select boxes still.

Like how do i know which mod is supported by a new system and which is not, or wise versa, which mod supports it. I know Gwinda’s TFGM does many things, but is that the only way?

Inside the ZIP there is a folder called “olahaldor_nsbstadlerflirt_1” – take a look at Skiwee’s picture.

If you extract the ZIP file to your mods folder, you should get that as a result.

Thanks for that. What about TFMM, is that to be avoided now or can we use that as well? Personaly, I find it easier to download a ZIP, then use TFMM, why UG seems to think that having to manually unzip each one first, then adding it is easier, is beyond me.
