I apologize for the delay, I appreciate the feedback. For these purposes I'm using Windows 10 64-bit. I didn't think to check the version, I just now switched to 0.5.19c.

I may have something going on, on my end. I took a brand new 'installation' of 0.5.19c and took the script provided in https://pastebin.com/SCDggsDh

and dropped it into /mods/extended/scripts/explorationregions.gd

It actually prevents me from using any of the main menu buttons after the mod is selected, and it applies itself (and I restart the game.). If I look in the /Strive folder with the .exe on my desktop, all the files now read 0kb or 1kb. A fresh 'install' of 0.5.19c without applying mods fixes the issue. I'm not sure what would cause this issue, possibly something on my end/my machine specifically, I'll try it on a laptop and see what shakes out.

i had this issue too

i fixed this:
- deleted the files in AppData\Roaming\Strive\..

- copied my mods again to Strive\..

- deleted the game and took "new install"

- started the game and used the reset function in mods menu

- started the game and activated the mods

Didn't work for me.

-Deleted appdata/roaming/strive

-created appdata/roaming/strive and put mod into folder /blah/scripts/explorationregions.gd

-deleted existing game folder on desktop

-re-extracted/installed new game folder on desktop

-used reset function in-game

-started game up again, applied mods, same issue occurred (menu unclickable/non-functioning) Noteably here: the version displayed changed from 0.5.19c to 0.5.19d

-----------------------------------------------------------

then I repeated all of the above but skipped the reset function part, same unclickable/non-functioning menu happened.

-----------------------------------------------------------

then did the following

-Deleted appdata/roaming/strive

-deleted existing game folder on desktop

-re-extracted/installed new game folder to desktop

-opened the game, closed the game (without going to mod menu)

-added mod appdata/roaming/strive

-opened the game, hit apply, restarted the game, nothing happens. (also tried reset/apply/reset/apply in various orders) Mod isn't applied at all and no 'Modded' shows up to the 0.5.19c version number on the menu.

-deleted appdata/strive/mod folder, reopened game. Now reads 0.5.19c 'Modded' (obviously since the file is missing/nothing changed in-game)

-readded mod to /appdata/strive/mod, opened game, still reads modded, but nothing changed in-game.

-reapplying mod nothing happens, reset mod nothing happens, different orders of reset/apply don't work as well when starting from step 1 of this.

-----------------------------------------------------------

tried all of the above, both in and out of administrator, didn't matter at all-- same results. Repeated all of the above (again) on windows 10 64x laptop, same result, didn't work. I guess I could try the linux version, I don't know of there'd be a difference. Its a mystery.

Did you try what I suggested up above? I think you're going to just run into all sorts of problems trying to completely replace the file or large chunks of it and the approach i demonstrated will work much more reliably.

I'm using the exact text in the pastebin you provided, nothing else. It feels like something else is going on, is there a temp file folder somewhere outside appdata/roaming?

maybe a mod from you is broken

Kyler25 years ago

Yeah, are you starting from a fresh extract of the game? If a previous mod failed to apply then it leaves the game in a broken state, you need to extract it back out.

Ideally the mod engine would detect that it failed in some way, and revert, or the revert code could somehow be protected. You can delete the files folder copy the backup folder and name that copy files, and that does a revert, or i find it easier to wipe the folder and extract again.
