Hey! The problem I have is that when I launch my mod through the Mod launcher (which I open via Steam), I click on launch, and instead of launching the game, it does the error:

Quote:No additional resource config for mod: C:/Program Files(x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/SOMA/mods/testhpl3/config/main_init.cfg

Also, I did test through SomaDev.exe and it works just fine, meaning the problem comes from the various files and folders there are. And to create them, I followed the tutorial posted on this thread: https://www.frictionalgames.com/forum/thread-30997.html

If needed, here are my:

entry.hpc:

PHP Code:
<Content 
      Author="Pikastroff" 
      InitCfg="config/main_init.cfg" 
      Type="StandAlone" 
      Title="Dare to open the doors" 
      Description="The title says it all. Yes, one of the doors is intentionally locked. And yes, it's in fact just a test to see how HPL3 works, so expect... 'unexperience', if it can be said..." 
/> 

main_init.cfg:

PHP Code:
<Directories  
    MainSaveFolder = "testhpl3"
    
    BaseLanguageFolder = "config/"        
    GameLanguageFolder = "config/lang_main/"
/>

<Variables
    GameName = "Dare to open the doors"
/>

<StartMap 
    File = "level1.hpm" 
    Folder = "mods/testhpl3/maps" 
    Pos = "PlayerStartArea_1" 
/> 

resources.cfg:

PHP Code:
<Resources>
  <Directory Path="/maps" AddSubDirs="true"/>
</Resources> 

I checked and re-checked everything, and I can't figure out what to do... Thanks in advance for helping! Smile

I take it you have your main_init in your mod's config folder?

Yes, of course.

Your error states that it cannot find a resources configuration in your main_init, so try adding these lines above your directories in your main_init.cfg.

PHP Code:
<ConfigFiles 
    Resources = "resources.cfg"
/> 

And if that doesn't work, try this then:

PHP Code:
<ConfigFiles 
    Resources = "resources.cfg" 
    Materials = "materials.cfg"

    Game = "config/game.cfg"
    
    DefaultUserSettings = "config/default_user_settings.cfg"
    DefaultUserKeys = "config/default_user_keys.cfg"
    
    DefaultBaseLanguage = "base_english.lang"
    DefaultGameLanguage = "english.lang"
    
    Modules = "config/Modules.cfg"
    EntityTypes = "config/EntityTypes.cfg"
    Effects = "config/Effects.cfg"
/> 

Weird, none of them work...

Did the error change at all? And is your resources.cfg in the root of your mods folder?

Nope, error is the same. And yes, resources.cfg is in the root of the mods folder.

EDIT: OK, my bad. I did not get what was meant by "root of the mods folder", and so, resources.cfg was indeed badly placed. MY BAD!
