Hey! Sorry if this is a dumb question, I'm new to modding and trying to instal it through the bg3 mod manager, but can't do so without a info.json file. There doesn't happen to be one attached to this does there? If not, thanks anyway! It looks cool.
huh, weird. I haven't had that issue. I assumed the info.json was only required if your mod was dependent on another, or planning to be updated.
I haven't had BG3MM complaining about a lack of an info file, and I can't currently replicate the issue, but I'll look into it when I have some more time to spare. Thank you for bringing this to my attention! Probably I'll just end up creating and adding the info file, but I need to figure out the best protocol for that first. Thanks again.
Maybe it's because I have a mac? Not sure if that's part of it or not, but perhaps my BG3 mod manager needs it that way. Either way I appreciate you responding, and no worries if you can't end up doing it. But i'll look forward to it if you do! Thank you.
Hey, so your guess was actually correct. If you care for the technical info, it turns out the way BG3MM prefers to work is by unpacking the .pak file inside the .zip itself and extracting the metadata directly from that. But for whatever reason the Mac version of BG3MM doesn't have the proper software library to do this (Windows version uses .NET).
I added an info.json file to the reuploaded version of this mod which should take care of the problem, but I still can't personally replicate the issue so I can't personally confirm that this fix works. I am planning on researching it more later but that's all I've got for now.
Thanks again for the heads up! I'm basically brand new to making mods for this game so I'm still learning some of the basics lol
Wow, thank you so much! I just installed it and it worked. I really appreciate you taking the time to explain the issue as well and going to all the trouble to re-upload it with the file. I'm so happy because it looks so good, and as a huge arcane fan I'm looking forward to using it! Thanks again.
