Cool thanks! Both of your sample mods show up in the game, and work! I see they get put into a different folder in the workshop instead of the game folder\mods now.
An odd thing happens if you try to load your own mod from the mods folder. It blanks out the subscribed mods and doesn't show the new one that is uploaded. When I delete my mod out of C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Galactic Overlord\mods\ then reboot the game the 2 subscribed mods are back. I tried uploading from another folder and it says it uploaded, but nothing shows up in the game. So it seems like I'd have to add the mod on Steam itself and subscribe to it to get it to work.
p.s. I missed the line where you talked about local files, oops!
I worked on it and finally got it working! The first issue with no mods showing is due to this conflict (according to Gemini): "When you place a folder in the local mods/ directory, the game’s updateMods() function likely prioritizes the local path, but because local mods aren't "signed" by Steam, it fails to register them and essentially blanks out your entire mod list."
I had to add this line at the end of the main galactic overlord html file to run my mod script:
<script src="mods/FactionStarterPack/scripts/script.js"></script>
In my mod script I added these lines to initialize the mod:
at the top is this:
console.log("Checking for Galactic Overlord core engine...");
// 1. Wait for Mods and Settings, but DON'T look for ImageFiles
if (typeof Mods === 'undefined' || typeof Settings === 'undefined') {
console.log("Engine not ready, retrying in 100ms...");
setTimeout(initFactionStarterPack, 100);
return;
}
Then after the mods.FactionStarterPack section I added this:
// 3. Force-Enable the Mod in local settings
if (!Settings.mods.includes("FactionStarterPack")) {
Settings.mods.push("FactionStarterPack");
localStorage.setItem('settings', JSON.stringify(Settings));
}
// 4. Finalize the load
updateMods();
console.log("FactionStarterPack loaded successfully using core assets!");
