Installing mods
Install a mod from the catalog, from the website or by hand.
From the launcher#
- Open Browse. Search, or filter by category.
- Press Install on a version.
- The launcher downloads the DLL, checks its SHA-256 against the value published by the API and only then writes it to disk. A mismatch installs nothing.
- Open Installed and switch the mod on, then press Play.
From the website#
The mods site has an Install button. It opens a short dialog and asks Windows to open a deltav://install?... link. The launcher registers that link type for your user at every start. A running launcher installs the latest version and shows it under Installed.
Island packages#
The Islands chip in Browse lists island packages. Installing one unpacks it, copies its files into rom (never over a game file) and switches the map on. Removing it deletes exactly the files it copied.
If the game folder is unknown#
The download stays in the launcher store (%APPDATA%\DeltaVModdingLauncher\mods) and is copied into the game folder as soon as you switch the mod on.
