Overview

There are two types of mods for WotR:

Unfortunately, UMM does not support Owlcat Template-based mods.

I needed a simple convenient installer for developing my own Owlcat Template-based mod for WotR, but it also seemed like a good idea to share it with the community. So here it is.

(Big thanks to Ameistris who helps to make this tool more user-friendly and rigourously tests it so no pesky bugs would appear in the new versions of it)

It's built from scratch with Qt 6.2.4 and C++, and the app's interface resembles UMM on purpose — because people are already accustomed to it.

Technically, all Owlcat Template-based mods should work with this installer. However, if there are any problems with mods management, please let me know.

 Personally, I use it with the following Owlcat Template mods on NexusMods:

What does it do?

  • Creates the default structure for mods in {AppData\LocalLow\Owlcat Games\Pathfinder Wrath Of The Righteous}, if needed.
  • Installs and removes Owlcat Template mods from zip archives.
    Just select or drag the desired mod archive into the program window.
  • [since 0.8.7] Installs localizations from zip archives
  • Enables and disables mods.
    There is no need to manually edit 'OwlcatModificationManagerSettings.json' anymore.
  • Opens mods folders.
  • Opens mods pages (if the developers filled their respective mod manifest).
  • Backs up the mod zip archives to 'backup' folder.
  • Logs the progress and saves the current log.

Localizations support

Installation

Sometimes mods and their translations are created and distributed separately by different creators. Even more so, one mod can have multiple translations for the same language (looking at you, Skyrim mods).

Since v0.8.7, this installer supports the installation of localization files in zip archives with this structure:

ModnameLANG.zip
|_____ Modname
|_____ Localization
  |_____ enGB|ruRU|deDE|frFR|zhCN|esES.json

For example, the Chinese localization for 'Gracious Friendships' mod looks like this:

GraciousFriendshipsCN.zip
|_____ GraciousFriendships
|_____ Localization
  |_____ zhCN.json

Users can install these localization archives the same way as mods: by clicking the install button or by a simple drag-and-drop.
If you add or remove the localization files manually, the UI will update the list of available languages for the mod you are working with.

Validation

Since 0.8.7 users can validate the existing mod localization files for errors and missing keys. When users install new localizations, the files are validated automatically (if any inconsistencies are found during the installation process, users will be warned).

Usage (Windows x64)

  • Extract the archive and run the 'owlcat-template-mod-installer.exe'.
  • Select the desired mod archive or drag it into the program window for a quick mod installation or upgrade.
  • Check that the mod was installed and switched 'ON'.
  • All done!

Usage (Linux x64) - checked in Ubuntu 22.04

NOTE: the intial release checks only the default steam path aka ~/.steam/steam/steamapps/...
I'll make sure the Linux users will be able to change the path in the next release

  • Extract the archive
  • After extracting the archive, don't forget to set permissions and allow your system to run this program!

In GUI:
Set "Properties" -> "Permissions" -> "Allow executing file as program" for both ./owlcat-template-mod-installer.sh and ./bin/owlcat-template-mod-installer

or

In terminal:
chmod +x ./owlcat-template-mod-installer.sh
chmod +x ./bin/owlcat-template-mod-installer

  • Then run owlcat-template-mod-installer.sh as a program (via GUI or terminal)


Troubleshooting

Windows

Checked it in Windows 8.1 x64 and Windows 10 x64.

If it does not start, you need to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable.

Linux

I've included all the dependencies, so there should be no external packages required. However, please tell me if something is wrong or you need a build for a different distro version.


If it still does not start, or some mod refuses to work, please tell me.
