    hey! thanks so much for making this tutorial, it was so helpful! it looks like the mod only recognizes the installed mods when run through the mod manager or the .exe file. if i try to launch the game through steam, the mod effects disappear. as i prefer to use steam's big picture mode so i can use a controller, would you happen to know if there's a way to adjust anything so i can still access the mods when playing that way? no worries if not - and thanks in advance for your time!

    • @ghostwindsamurai
      @ghostwindsamurai  Před 2 lety +2

      Hey I'm glad it helped! The steam big picture mode is definitely interesting and I see why you want to use it! I personally haven't used the big picture mode enough to know a fix for that, but there might be some forums of other modders that may want the same. Here's one that might be worth a try: steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/1/1319962599256404729/ I hope you find a fix my friend, it seems like steam is opening the wrong shortcut (the original one) or something. I know it also may have to do with the steam overlay, see if there is a way to get the steam overlay running on the modded version. That's all I could think of aha, happy modding Witcher 🗡️ Hope you get it!

    • @ghostwindsamurai

      Thank you for the comment demonking 🗡️ I actually use the most recent version of the game 1.32, although there are still benefits to downgrading to the lower version to install older versions of certain mods. Most updated mods are fortunately made ready for version 1.32, I've installed over a hundred so far myself and haven't run into a problem with needing to downgrade 😁

      Depends which magic spells mod you may have downloaded 🤔, the one I downloaded (Magic Spells) had the option to install a version that unlocked them all from the questline which is what I opted for, so I am not sure how to solve your issue my friend. I do know there was a book that allowed you to create spellbooks, it was like a purple book or something you could get super early on, perhaps that may help 🤔😅

Script merger was asked by vortex and downloaded and applied to all mods without issues. Playing through steam and ps5 controller, all mods working.

      Still working on getting a mod vid out but I am running smooth combat alongside immersive cam :) I also recommend combo blood, immersive motion and magic spells. Immersive cam is fire because it allows you to tweak the sliders and set custom camera angles, but I highly recommend reading the install notes on the mod pages before installing since they may have some extra steps to install!

    I really appreciate the videos you’ve made, but I’m a bit confused. How do I know when to put mods into The Witcher 3 mods folder, and when to put mods into the mods folder that’s connected to the mod manager/script merger? For example, in the video, you manually downloaded the mod and placed it in the folder that’s connected to the mod manager, but in step 14, you also showed how you would manually download a mod, but you put it in The Witcher 3 mods folder. Just a little confused. Any response would be much appreciated.

    • @ghostwindsamurai
      @ghostwindsamurai  Před rokem

      Great question AR6 i'm glad you asked. When modding for myself, every mod I download I immediately add it to my Original Mods Download Folder (even if it is for a manual install) that way I can have a reference to where that mod has been downloaded in case I need to reinstall said mod. From there I then install the mod whether it is by the mod manager method, or by opening the zip and dragging the necessary files into the Witcher game mods folder (remember to run script merger after manual installs too :). That is also why I urged people to read all "read me files" and installation instructions on nexus mod pages, so they know which way they can install mods after adding them to the OG mods download folder, hope this helps, happy modding!

      Is it an error message screen after launching the game? Or is it the kdiff screen in script merger? Because if it is the error screen after you hit run, then there is a mod conflict and you should revert to your previous backup or manually delete the mod files. If it is a kdiff issue, then you have to choose which mod gets priority and save and exit

      you have to make a "mods" folder in the witcher 3 game directory itself and then once you do so, go to script merger and put the game directory as the witcher 3 folder where it has all of the things inside of it, not the actual witcher 3 exe, but the entire game folder. i hope this works for you because it works for me :D

    Encountering a new issue where after the Script finished merging, Im no longer seeing the mods in the mod manager on the left side. I still see them on the right side in their load order priority? What did I do wrong? I didnt change anything, I simply merged the mods and now theyre not listed, even after restarting mod manager? This one has been rough!

      Hmmm that's interesting 🤔maybe send a screenshot to my discord if you can. If the mod is manually installed it won't show up in tw3mm, but if you are adding them through tw3mm then it should be there. Perhaps the mod directory is conflicting? Might be worth the double check to see if there are accidentally 2 mod folders in your Witcher 3 game files. Also try hitting the mods button (looks like a book) in the witcher 3 mod manager and see where it brings you, it should bring you to your mod folder with all the mods in there. If not the directory may need to be fixed. Yeah pretty interesting issue, I hope we can get through it L.L.F, feel free to drop any more info here or in my discord as well anytime :)

    Hey, I'm trying to "run Script Merger" but when I do it says I'm missing files to run the merger and then I shows me a list with the links to said files. Any Idea what to do because you didn't have to do this when you started?

    • @ghostwindsamurai
      @ghostwindsamurai  Před 2 lety

      Hey A_Crows_Edits sorry to hear about this issue. On the script merger page on Nexus mods under the file tab, make sure you downloaded the main version of script merger and not the version without dependencies. Once the main version is downloaded, you need to repeat the steps from step 5, which is to make a folder inside of the Witcher 3 mod manager folder and title it "script merger" and in that folder you will paste all of the files from the script merger zip that you downloaded from nexus. Hope this helps :)

      @ghostwindsamurai  Před 2 lety

      Hey Gabriel, thank you for bringing this issue to the table! This is a problem I have definitely not seen before 👀 I looked into it and one of the possibilities may be that you downloaded the vortex variant of the mod opposed to the manual download, which might be why it isn't showing up. Butttt if that isn't the problem, it may be because you downloaded a good amount of mods and need to install the "mod limit fix" mod as there is a mod limit (not exactly sure what the limit is). If that doesn't help, I also heard that some people have trouble with Winrar and extracting from this forum: www.reddit.com/r/witcher3mods/comments/ek6skx/witcher_3_mods_not_working_seeking_advice/ and they fixed their issue buy extracting with 7zip instead. Not sure if that would be any help to you, but if it does/doesn't let me know! 👌

Also if you haven't yet, in the conflicts screen select the empty box at the top left next to the word "scripts", then at the bottom of the window hit "Create Selected Merge". I am probably going to make another video on merging complex incompatible Kdiff issues in the near future as well. Until then make sure to read the compatibility section of nexus mod pages and stay awesome!!

      Honestly I don't see why it wouldn't work, I haven't personally tried it from the epic store myself so I can't really confirm it works. As long as you launch the game from the mod manager it should be fine. If for some reason the epic game store doesn't like you launching it from the mod manager, perhaps see if you can verify the game files in the epic launcher after you move the games location out of the epic folder, and if that fails try the vortex mod manager method ⚡. That's all I can think of from the top of my head that could go wrong, but it should work fine anyways 🌊 happy modding Witcher!

      @ghostwindsamurai  Před 2 lety

      Hey H.S.P Krom-van Rijn, that's pretty unfortunate to hear. I am not sure if you are using steam or not, but I personally do not use a controller so this issue is pretty foreign to me. I found some forums where people had similar issues and managed to solve them: www.reddit.com/r/SteamController/comments/403v95/steam_controller_nexus_mod_manager/ I am not sure which controller you are using but this long blurb also came from another reddit post here: " Ok I figured it out!
      I plugged back into the computer that it's been failing on and noticed steam popped a new Link up in the right of your games main page in my Library that said "Controller Configuration". I selected it and it said:
      Configuration Support Disabled
      Configuration support for the Xbox One Controller is disabled. Xbox One Controller support must be enabled in Steam's main Controller Settings and Support for the Game must be enabled under this game's Controller Options.
      My controller on the WORKING PC was setup as an Xbox One controller in settings months ago using Steams recent support of it. But I never did that on the other box that it wasn't working on that we've been trying to figure out. It looks like maybe your game was using Steams support of the Controller? I think the reason it worked with other games is those games possibly had native support for the Xbox One Controller outside of Steam so it didn't matter if Steam recognized it or not. I'm just spitballing though. I never thought to look into Steam's native support because it was working on other games I assumed it wasn't a configuration thing.
      At least now I know that the controller will likely be more compatible with other games now! Thanks a ton for your help on this, I feel stupid not figuring this out before. I was about to start testing on a Windows 7 box with different hardware as well haha.
      To clarify:
      Steam>Settings>Controller>General Controller Settings. Then register the controller. I also selected Xbox Configuration Support but that doesn't seem to matter as much." And here is the link to the paragraph: steamcommunity.com/app/554810/discussions/4/2741975115075559291/#c2741975115083631602 I really hope you are able to figure it out, and apologise that I could not be of more help, I hope you get it! It may also be noteworthy that there are a number of controller mods on nexus, not sure if any of those will help, but there may be something worth trying there too 👍

Perhaps try resetting the Witcher 3 mod manager directory location, or moving the folder location of your OG mod downloads, then reselect the mod directory folder for the og mod downloads in the mod manager. If for some reason it is script merger, then try to set the script merger Witcher 3 directory path to the overall folder of the Witcher 3 game (you can see my directory at around 7:35 in the video near the top).
