Need. Mod. Installation. Tutorial.

[Scarecrow71]

I cannot overstate how quickly Lowne goes through his "instructions" in the video that was posted.  I'm a veteran player, and if I cannot follow this, I simply cannot fathom how a new player would.  I attempted to install SpaceWarp and Sticky Orbit..thing..this morning, and I either didn't do it right OR it simply failed.  I am asking, as nicely as a I can, for someone to please post a step-by-step instruction manual for installing both SpaceWarp and mods.  Simply saying "Drop the folder in this folder" is not good enough; I did that and it didn't work.  So I need to be talked to as if I'm 5 years old on this.  Please.

It really is best to just wait for the official mod loader to be finished. The current tools are aimed at a technical audience showing each other how to hack into the game, not typical users trying to play it, because currently there is no easy simple way. And any instructions someone would write will be obsolete and forgotten in a short timeframe.

Considering I'd like to use the Sticky mod, it's not obsolete.

Why is it so terrible to ask the people who created SpaceWarp and the Sticky mod to write a step-by-step to help us use what they wrote?

Read what I said. Has a short timeframe elapsed and the official mod loader been released?

Who said it's terrible? What's so terrible about waiting for the official mod loader?

You can contact those folks here btw, I doubt they'll be searching the forum for random threads asking them questions:

• https://github.com/SpaceWarpDev/SpaceWarp
• https://github.com/jan-bures/StickyOrbitMarkers

Both SpaceDock entries do already seem to have step by step instructions, though, so requesting that again may not go anywhere.

I did try to make a video on it and posted it in the mod thread, definitely not perfect but it's the best I could manage quickly with no real video editor installed.

To illustrate this, take a look at the SpaceWarp wiki's table of contents:

• https://github.com/SpaceWarpDev/SpaceWarp/wiki

They are focused on documentation for modders. Rightly, because the creation of mods has to happen before anyone can install them.
