Manually updating a mod's compatible game version
« on: July 29, 2022, 01:55:26 PM »

Hey y'all,
was just wondering if anyone knows how to update a mods (Version Checker) compatible game version by hand, as it's currently shown as outdated and I can't enable it for that reason. Asking cause I never dabbled much with coding and don't really know what to look for.

Thanks in advance!

Go into the specific mod folder.
Find the file named "mod_info.json", and open it with a notepad program.
Find the line in the file that reads "gameVersion".
Change the data in "s after the : to read 0.95.1a-RC6
Save.

This is no guarantee it will work though.
Outdated mods sometimes use things that have been changed or depreciated, so they'll behave unpredictably.
Possibly may even just throw an error if you try to start the game with it enabled.
