Make sure that after uncompressing, you have a folder named stonehearth inside which there are the game files. It might take a while to extract all the files.
Then, unzip the stonehearth.zip with the built-in Windows option (right-click the file, select "Extract here") or use any compression software of your liking (7-Zip, Winrar,etc). Now, select the stonehearth.smod file, and rename it so that the extension is. For Windows 8/8.1/10, open any folder, select the "View" tab at the top, and check "File name extensions". Uncheck this option, then click "Apply" and "OK". In this tab, under Advance Settings, you will see the option "Hide extensions for known file types". Now, click on "File Explorer Options" (can also appear as "Folder Options"), and go to the "View" tab. For Windows 7, open the Control Panel and click on "Appearance and Personalization". They are always required to run the game, and you can get glitches and bugs if you mess directly with their files.įor easier modding, turn on the file extensions on the windows explorer. Open it, and you will see the main mods that shape the game. Inside of this folder, you will see a folder called mods. If you have installed it via Steam, then the folder will be at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Stonehearth.If you installed it with the Humble Bundle installer, this will normally be at C:\Program Files (x86)\Stonehearth.Let's go to the folder where Stonehearth is installed: To start modding Stonehearth, first we want to know the structure of the Stonehearth mod itself. If a file and directory have the same name (like /foo vs foo.smod), the game chooses to load the directory, not the smod file. smod file (which is just a renamed zip file of a directory!) it will try to load it as a mod when the game starts. A manifest.json file in the directory describing the modĪ Stonehearth mod is just a file or directory that sits in the "mods" directory in your Stonehearth installation directory (mods from the Steam workshop reside on a different directory).So, here's our plan for addressing the current state of affairs. They're both trying to overwrite the same file, and only one can win.
Multiple mods can't make changes to the same game object. It's difficult to manage multiple mods that are all trying to overwrite different pieces of the Stonehearth mod. If you install a newer version of the game, it will blow away the changes that the mod has made. It requires changing files that the game installer owns. To mod the game modders unzip the file, find a particular game asset, and overwrite it with their own version. You can unzip it and get a peek at all the images, models, and data files within. The Stonehearth game content is stored in the "stonehearth.smod" file in your installation directory. First, a quick explanation of how modders were changing the game in the first alphas.
