[Naughtywvr Installer] Support thread

[Guy Incognito]

This thread will consolidate all information with regards to naughtwvr's mods.


EVERYTHING SEEMS TO WORK CORRECTLY, IF SOMETHING DOES NOT WORK PLEASE BE SPECIFIC ON WHAT YOUR SETUP IS

Naughtywvr made a 2.0 update that is now a separate paid update, currently (by his own statement) it has nothing new, just that you have to re-buy it to continue getting updates. This includes the bugfixes promised a year ago, it was never actually released for the existing 1.x users.


There is no real technical reason for this as modding has not really changed since 2.0/3.0, just don't expect further feature updates without paying for the sake of paying

There are no changes to the code (aside from switching to the new license system, which was just as easy to defeat as the old one)

Kind of shameful for him to charge for a new patch that does nothing new when the old one works, TBH. =/
I think he's going to come out with new mods for it, but they could have worked on the old one too (since the code is literally exactly the same)

It says please select mod then there are no options for mods any ideas?

Are you extracting the zip file first? It won't work if you just run it from the zip, it needs the mod folder.

[Jintaru]

I always forget that part <3 you tyvm. :D

How do I uninstall the nude patch? (I need to remove it...)

Revert your dats

[Windstar]

Where are the .dats found? Should I assume that you mean I have back ups? I installed the patch more than a year ago, I don't know if I have them. .;_;

If you don't have backups, then you'll need to reinstall your game or wait for someone to upload backups for 4.00-release

[Windstar]

Sigh, figured. Oh well. Thanks for the prompt response.

So let me get this straight, I paid for the mod and the dev went silent and produced no updates for more than a year, and now suddenly has a new version up and wants MORE money just to update? Get bent dude

Correct, I've released the same fixes in the past due to this, previous issues were not due to the game itself, it was due to mixups on his end.

To make it even better, the new version does absolutely nothing different, it even uses the exact same code.

I've already covered most of the most common questions, I'm going to organize them by topic soon and put in details on how to actually install it eventually.

If appropriate, I will start uploading the new fresh dats to a gdrive for 4.0 since I'm pretty much in queue all day right now. Just a heads up that I can remove if requested.

I can link it up top, but it'd help a lot if it was kept in one location or something.

Previous backups are all over the place.

Just popping in here to say that Stormblood added an all-new 040000.win32.dat3 that is 204mb in size.
Might want to back that up, too, just in case.

It's not modified, there's no need to back it up with regards to this.
