please could you add the info.json? am on steam deck so installing all my mods through the painful manual process. I really really want to use this - it's so creative!
what does it do? there was no info.json created when making the mod, so i don't know what is in it or how to make it. you say your installing them manually. there are tutorials on how to install vortex or the bg3 mod manager on steam deck, if you aren't already using one. the videos i looked at mentions nothing about an info.json for mods. if you have an info.joson file you could open, then copy/paste what's in it in a reply, i could see what's it is. posting links to the mod manager install videos, in case one of them are helpful.

this is the whole .JSON. Our goal here is to carefully pick out the quoted information and then apply it to my master patch in the appdata folder of Baldur's Gate. We'd need to create a new group for it and include the quoted information of the "MD5", the "Name", the "Folder" and the "UUID" into that new group I made in the modsettings text file.
This is my usual process of installing mods. What feels like 1 out of every 30 mods on the Nexus are not uploaded with a .JSON, though I am not sure how they're made.
what mod manager did you use to enable it? and did you manually install it or let the mod manager install it?
make sure the the .pak file is installed to the location on the description page, and that it is enabled in the mod manager you used. i manually install mods and use the bg3mm solely to enable them. so i don't know if there are any issues with vortex installing bg3 mods. when using the bg3mm, you also have to save the changes to the load order in the files menu. let me know if any of this helps.
This mod doesn't seem to work for me either. I have done what it says at the bottom of the description page but to no avail. I am using BG3 MM to do my mods. This is the first mod I have honestly attempted. I do have the Mod Fixer pak in my mod manager and ive activated the mod after placing it where its intended to go, but still doesnt work. Even after refreshing, saving the load order and exporting to game it still doesnt work. Any ideas what I should do? I really want this mod it is so well thought out!!
all i can think is to check where your mod fixer is installed. cause if the mod shows up in the bg3mm and you've activated and saved the order and it still isn't working, i'm not sure what to say. i just checked and the dice mod is still working on my game. i'm adding a pic of where my mod fixer is installed. dice mod goes in the mod folder shown. i've not actually got the mod fixer activated in the mm. it just sits here in the folder before the mods folder. maybe i did something wrong, but everything is working for me. let me know if this helps any.
This mod is not working for me and I have done my best to follow all the directions and watched videos on installing mods through BG3 Mod manager. Is there anyone that could help me trouble shoot this?
Just gotta say, absolutely LOVE the mod. This is THE dice that should have been used ingame. For a game whose plot centers around a mysterious artefact, IN THE SHAPE OF A D20, not using it as the dice you roll is criminal. Even if they made it the honor mode unlockable dice would be awesome. Woulda sucked having to try to unlock it, but totally worth it.
Amazing job! I have been searching for this mesh in the game files but can't locate it. Any chance you'd give me a clue as to its name? My index searches aren't proving fruitful. Cheers!
"QUEST_Mysterious_Puzzlebox_A.dae" this is the name of the mesh file i found and used. i still haven't located the textures for it, though. i think it's somewhere in the virtual textures .gtp files, but there are over 35k textures in there and none of them have unique, identifying file names. it's like a needle in a hay stack, lol. if you are ever able to find the textures, please let me know.
I have located textures in the gtp files before, its a pain, but I'll let you know if I can track it down. Having the mesh name helps a ton! Thanks so much!
Awesome, didn't see the emissive map. Finding the gr2/Dae was the first step of tracking down the virt textures. Feel free to let me know if you are struggling to find anything else. It's funny because I know they call it a mysterious artifact in the game but when I searched mysterious , or myst, I swear it didn't come up. Happy we made it whole haha. Thanks!
are you using a mod manager to activate it after installing it? i use the BG3 Mod Manager. it should show all the mods you have put in your mod folder. and activating mods is as simple as dragging them from the right column to the left column. then you save the load order in the main files tab.

Found em! Haha, it was a pain but didn't take too long. Hope that helps! Thanks for the mesh info, go team!
i'll just save you the time and give you the .dae file, and also an emissive map i'd found. i don't know why i didn't just do this before, lol.
