The mod manager is a mod for Timberborn, which adds a simple mod manager in-game. With the mod manager you can easily:
– Download and install mods and maps
– Enable and disable downloaded mods and maps
– Uninstall mods and maps
– Search for different mods and maps using free text or tag filtering, and also sort the search results on different basis
– The mod manager lists any visible mods and maps in the Timberborn mod.io page.
Mod Manager Versioning System
The mod manager features an integrated mod versioning system designed to display the compatibility of mods using a small indicator. This system scans the changelogs of mod files to determine whether a specific mod version will function with the current Game Version. If it cannot find a compatible version, it will indicate that it cannot ascertain whether the mod will work with the current version. Here’s the syntax the system recognizes:
MinimumGameVersion: 0.5.0.0
MaximumGameVersion: 0.5.9.9
The `MinimumGameVersion` indicates the minimum required game version. If it matches the current game version, it will be displayed in green. If the game version is higher, it will be shown in orange. If a maximum version is provided, the mod will be restricted to that version. If the game version exceeds the maximum specified, it will be indicated with a red icon.
