Any update for the mods ?

take all the time you need

Thanks for informing me. I am married now but have been swamped with all the legal stuff that follows and buying a house. Been away from my computer for awhile and haven't even been gaming. I would like to get a patch to you guys soon though. I apologize for the delay, and thank you for the support!

Hello. It seems the patch is now official, but your mods need an update. If you have time in real life, I would be very happy if you could update your mods. Without your mods the game is just not fun

Devs statement - Important for Modders: with the recent updates the game sources changed a lot, many of the created modes are not working. Please check your mods for errors and update them if needed.

Hopefully someone can test out if the increased crew size will mess with the mods by TacticalFaux... especially this one and Hireable Goons!

No problem! Congratulations! I read up on that and of course it was already i started blabbing for help.

Hey @Dubb Expert

Mods were broken by the new update. I've been working with devs a little to help ensure that gets reversed. They are somewhat patched in the "patch-test" beta branch of the game but I'll need to update some stuff on my end as well but have been hesitant to do that until that patch makes it to the main branch.

Right now I'm halfway across the world though for my wedding, so I can't update anything at the moment :)

But I intend to once I'm back! Especially if they have the update on the main branch by then.

Ive been trying to catch up on the game with the update. I tried to mess with the mod formation and the hirable goons mod and increased crew size didnt work. Not sure what to do. I tried to manually place them into the Romero folder or Paradox but it doesnt work.

TacticalFaux, you know how to change the priority in negotiations so that a gangster is given instead of money?
Changed the order of sentences in scripts (EndWar). But nothing helps, they offer money anyway.
For some reason, the game does not give out such an option, even on the tenth attempt, they always offer only money.

As soon as the mods start working again, could you explain to me in detail how to install them?

@vascio1 Right now most or all mods are broken on the main branch of the game. Some mods work on patch-test beta branch, but I am in part waiting for the main branch to work again before fully updating all my stuff.

I can't install the mod! Can anyone help me?

Ah, yes. I was aware of that change but I hadn't seen the new code yet. I agree with the suggestion of just updating that slider. Hopefully it doesn't get too hard to control when its a large number.

TacticalFaux, the developers have added the option to adjust the number of gangsters from 10 to 14.
Lua\Scripts\Config\WorldConfig.lua
-- Max amount of gangsters that you can hire
minCrewSize = 10
maxCrewSize = 14
The minimum and maximum values are specified here, which allows you to adjust the squad size through the slider, in a given range.
as an alternative to updating the mod.

Here are a couple more fixes that make the game more comfortable for me.
It might be useful.
Upgrade weapons to rank 6 for all gangsters
Lua\World\Actors\Characters\Character.lua

function Character._get:weaponProficiencyMaxTier()
if self.maxTier then
return self.maxTier
end
return math.min(self.inverseTier + 2, #Config.DEFAULTS.CHARACTER.weaponProficiencyKillRequirement)
end
change 2 to 7

correct display of all 65 gangsters in the black book
Lua\UI\CrewController.lua

local NumRows = 5
local NumCols = 12

we change 5 to 6
Or whatever you like, it's a display of vertical and horizontal order.

opening the archive with the mod,
\steamapps\workshop\content\604540\2897516914\IncreasedCrewSize.zip
Raw~\Lua\World\Faction.lua replace or delete the file Faction.lua
the archive with all the game code is stored in the folder with the game, GameSource_[Custom].zip we find the file in it, Faction.lua

located here GameSource_[Custom]\GameData\Lua\World\Faction.lua
open the file Faction.lua
and find the parameter

function Faction:getMaxCrewSize()
return getWorld().getMaxCrewSize()
end

should be like this
function Faction:getMaxCrewSize()
return 100
end
I used the Notepad++ program for editing, in which case any text editor is suitable.

What lim_333_88 describes sounds like a sensible fix. I hadn't deployed one because I was not aware mods were fixed on the main branch yet, only the patch-test one. But I would fix it in the same or similar way to what we described.

Hi! Lim_333_88 which mod and which specific code did you modify to fix the issue with the DLC Hunt For Aurora boss selection? I saw you mentioned replacing the old code with a new one that includes a modified GameSource value. Could you share more details?"

When selecting a boss from the Hunt For Aurora DLC, an error occurs after the conversation in the car.
I fixed it by replacing the old code with a new one with a modified value from GameSource. Another question is, does the EoSModdingTools functionality allow you to add or replace gangsters?

any updates for the mods?

With the beta patch raising the cap to 14 gangsters, things are heating up — but when rival bosses start forming alliances, that number can feel tight real fast.
@TacticalFaux’s Increased Crew Size mod still feels major, especially for players who want to counter multi-boss coalitions or run high-tier rackets across multiple neighborhoods.
So is 14 just a temporary ceiling until the official release? Or will modded setups remain the go-to for serious empire builders?
Anyone tested how well a 14-member crew holds up when two enemy bosses team up? Would love to hear war stories from the front lines.

Yeah only works until something to enemy hideaway locations

Ain't working properly it bugs out to bribe the police

With the latest update on the beta version, all TacticalFaux mods (Except hireable goons) are currently working. You may have to unsubscribe and resubscribe.

@TacticalFaux Hey! I just read your update — that’s great news! I really appreciate the effort you’re putting into keeping the mods alive, and it’s great to hear that the devs are working with you.

Update: So, they've solved part of the issue and on a private beta branch they've given me access to. They are hopefully going to publish an updated version of the modtools next week so that I can patch my end of things to match. And if that all goes well then when things go public it should all hopefully work again.

Let it be known that the dev I've been working with has been very responsive and also seems commited to making sure they don't leave us hanging with the mods. So just try to be kind and patient with them, everyone. :)

I'm not at my computer that can test/deploy a patch, but I will be tomorrow. I've heard the beta branch mods may work there, so I will attempt to write a patch this weekend if that is indeed the case.

still not working, any updates?

TacticalFaux, you sir need a statue.

@jmwayinc Thanks for the support. Someone told me I should set up a patreon or something haha. :) I like that people enjoy my work though!

@69_420, I will post something here when I know it works again. Theres no way to rollback currently but I'll speak to the new dev I know about it. Might be a good idea if thats in their power.

“Hey! @tacticalfaux Thank you so much for keeping these mods alive. I really like Empire of Sin and your mods make the game even better. I’m looking forward to your updates! Keep up the amazing work!”

@tacticalfaux using the beta patch and these mods still dont work< anyway i can revert to older betas or get around this nonsense?

@ekkaman101 it will be back and ill update this and my other mods when I can (if an update is even needed). And since many of the biggest mods are mine it won't be a huge hit. I can also remake some of the others if other modders dont update theirs, as most of the others were very simple anyway.

cannot believe they killed mod support

I know this game aint nothing special, but you guys who made these mods deserve a lot of credit for making it playable. I wish you luck. Thank you for everything.

this mod is not working can you help? What am i doing wrong

What about the opt in beta patch? didnt fix the missing files that were messing with mods?

To my knowledge, yes. @Wahoo

Is an update still planned?

Hey guys, any news for the updates?

Hi! I’m new to the game and I love what you’re doing with this mod. But right now, the mods don’t seem to work — I just bought the new DLC (Hunt for Aurora).

My question is: if I disable the new DLC, will the mods work again? Or should I wait for an update? Thanks in advance and great job!

@Verd We are waiting on a developer patch, I'm in communication with a dev and working with them to help sort it all out. Should not be that long a wait, maybe a week or less. But I can not make promises on dev behalf so don't take that as gospel or be mad at them if I'm wrong.

Fix will hopefully be included in the next patch, and if I'm right about what the issue is mods may not even need an update-- they may just work again out of the box. But we will see.

any news on when your mods will be available again?

UPDATE: I messaged an old dev I knew and I suppose the word traveled to the current devs because I recieved word that they will fix the modding stuff they broke in the next patch and may also expand mod tools going forward. So we are waiting on a patch for me to be able to update this, with potential more good news down the road.

Hey Chief,
I've been made aware of the issue on some of my other mods as well. Please see my comments on Demographic Tweaks. Thank you for your interest!

Update would be nice if it is necessary because of the new dlc.
