Installation
Install the launcher and prepare your game folder.
Steps#
- Open the DeltaV mods site and use the Download DeltaLauncher button on the start page. No account is needed. TODO: Confirm whether the download is the installer, the portable
deltalauncher.exe, or both. - Run it. The installer needs no options; the portable file can be started from any folder.
- If Windows SmartScreen warns that the file is not signed, choose More info, then Run anyway.
- Start the launcher. On the first start it looks for your Stormworks folder (see First launch).
What gets installed where#
The launcher keeps its own data in %APPDATA%\DeltaVModdingLauncher\:
| File or folder | Purpose |
|---|---|
settings.json | API address, game folder and switches |
installed.json | Which mods are installed |
mods\<project id>\ | Downloaded mod DLLs |
bin\swinject.exe, bin\swversion.dll | Injector and version patch |
Mods you switch on are copied into <game folder>\mods\. Game files are not modified.
