I have said this multiple times, but I keep getting spammed so I'll say this again:
GAME UPDATES WILL BREAK MODS.
Do not report every update as a bug, as everyone knows it's going to happen. I have received countless DMs and bug reports with the same thing, and if it keeps going on then I'll remove your ability to post bugs to stop the spam. It doesn't help, it wastes time.
> What to do after an update Delete any mods you use and wait until they are updated, or until the mod author declares them safe to use. Do not use gameplay/script mods that appear to work, as there may be some serious issues that you cannot see behind the scenes.
> When are updates coming out? When they're done. I have a real life job and other commitments. Spam me about this and I will permanently ban you from my mods.
If you ask about updates anyway, you clearly haven't read anything I've posted about it so I reserve the right to lie about it or have a bit of fun with the comment.
Question that isn't related to the mod, but the first person mode in vanilla game. Is there a way to make it possible to actually see inside the forests instead of being forced into a view above it? It's slightly irritating that I cant see dinosaurs in the tropical forests.
This mod is discontinued because the first-person view mode has been added to the game in the CC Update.
And to answer your question, no, this does not have controller support; I would know because I have tried before. The in-game first person does have controller support, I believe.
The as-of-today announced Camp Cretaceous Pack will release alongside a free update that will include several features, including a First-Person mode. On March 8th, this mod will essentially be dead.
Just the general modding discord. If you're not on it, you'll have to wait until I finish and demo the new stuff on YT! It's stuff I'm pretty sure Frontier would never get close to adding: - Adventure Mode with checkpoints/spawns/pickups - Weapons - Porting of existing mechanics FDev didn't implement
can anyone join that general modding discord? Or only people who actively work on modding the game? If anyone can join: Where would one find the link to join the discord?
So you're going to be improving on this mod still? I'll need to go find this discord server. IMHO, the vanilla first person mode is trash compared to yours.
I have no idea if this is possible (I assume it is not unfortunately) but it would be incredible if it was possible to add the tranquiliser gun to the first person view. This would turn JWE 2 into The Hunter: Call Of the Jurassic.
It certainly does not go into Content0, as that will either not load the mod or it will break the game. And you must have a Content0 as... That's literally the main game folder, it's where all the scripts are. If you don't have it, your game won't run.
ACSE goes into the ovldata folder, nowhere, anywhere, ever is Content0 mentioned in any of the instructions. If it crashes then you probably installed the wrong folder - you must install the JWE 2 ACSE, not JWE 1 ACSE and not both. The "how" of it is explained in the install instructions you get with the mod, and in the mod description.
Here are the instructions from the description:
Install instructions for ACSE: - Go to https://github.com/OpenNaja/ACSE - Click on Code -> Download ZIP - Open the "ACSE-main.zip" file - Drag & drop the folder "ACSE-main\Release\Jurassic World Evolution 2\ACSE" into your game directory at "(...)\Jurassic World Evolution 2\win64\ovldata\" The folder. NOT just the contents of it. - You will now have this file on your drive "(...)\Jurassic World Evolution 2\win64\ovldata\ACSE\Main.ovl" If you do not, which what step you didn't follow
Of course it crashes, it literally says in the title of the mod to wait. It's not made for JWE 1.2, just uninstall the mod for now. Just so you know - I get spammed about Expanded Sandbox so much, multiple times every day in DMs and on shared Discord channels and on Nexus, so I've started delaying it every time someone asks for it. You'll get it sooner by not asking.
Don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but this mod is the only one of all of yours which doesn't work for me, i.e I can't get into the FP mode. Capture Camera: Slow + Rotate Building Right (Ctrl+X) does nothing. The AkaiFirstPersonMode folder is right there along AKaiExpandedSandbox, AKaiFreeBuild and AKaiExpandedTerrainTools folders, all of these other mods work, but not this one.
Nice mod as always. Are there any plans for new features you can add? I know JWE2 modding is in it's infancy, but if there was a way for dinosaurs to react to you like they do guests or vehicles that would be AWESOME.

Delete any mods you use and wait until they are updated, or until the mod author declares them safe to use. Do not use gameplay/script mods that appear to work, as there may be some serious issues that you cannot see behind the scenes.

When they're done. I have a real life job and other commitments. Spam me about this and I will permanently ban you from my mods.

if that will ever happen, i dont know cause i havent heard anything of it but that was the plan
I'm not a mod creator but I know it can be very hard to make mods, I tried myself and gave up after 4 minutes.
- Adventure Mode with checkpoints/spawns/pickups
- Weapons
- Porting of existing mechanics FDev didn't implement
Just to name a few of the more recent additions.

I'd like to write it clearer but so many people insist on Extracting a zip file so it creates a new folder, and the mod doesn't work then.
