guide Up to date Modding Guide for Newcomers

Hello. I seemed to have things in working order yesterday, but today SCake just stopped working. I'm not sure if I some how broke something, or if an auto-update might have broken things. Tried a fresh install to clear the board and only tried to load ue4ss and SCake, but I don't even get the little texts in the corner on the title screen any more. Any recommendations on how to possibly fix?

Most common cause is folders and files in the wrong place
Your directories should be: 
Palworld\Pal\Binaries\Win64\ue4ss\Mods\SugarCake [The Folder, it should be structured as such to begin with. Has dlls and enabled in it]
Palworld\Pal\Content\Paks\~mods\SugarCake [Anim Paks go here. Comes with SugarCake_Anims_Human pak]
Palworld\Pal\Content\Paks\~mods\AnimConfig [Anim JSONs go here]
Palworld\Pal\Content\Paks\LogicMods --[SugarCake.pak, ucas and utoc go here]

If this is correct and its still doesnt work, the UE4SS version could be the issue.

All of those seem to be in place from what I can see. UniPal is there as well from the bundle.

 

When everything worked yesterday I was running UE4SS_v3.0.1-1106-g3a2d2bc1. I didn't make any changes when I ran the game today, SCake wouldn't load. I just checked Git and see it is UE4SS_v3.0.1-1109-g5b2663e9, so I imagine something changed (I'm not programming savvy). But when I replaced them nothing appears to have changed functionally. Still no loading text on the title screen and I'm unable to open Unipal, let alone the other commands. If the ue4ss changed, would that break SCake until it's updated?

there was an update to one of my mods and it required a new mod so i got it and it crashed my game i followed it back and found the new mod i had caused the crashing. i got rid of the mod and the mod that needed it. now that i have reinstalled the game and reset all my mods. i dont crash now but i get this. i have done everything i can and looked on posts to see if im missing something but nothing. im at a loss. any ideas why im getting this? and how do i fix.

What mod did you update and whose animation pack is this? I'm seeing Predator, so I'm guessing its Bakkas', but I could be wrong.

[Kenyru]

first time posting here but I just wanted to point out something that's been annoying me and ask if I'm missing something here? I'm trying to update one of the animation paks listed on the guide, and I think they uploaded the files wrong or something? It's Shiinr--

 

ShiinrAnimPAK.json ShiinrAnimPAKMulti.json

 

Those are the only two files listed, and they are paks and jsons? Aren't there either paks or jsons? They included a couple of image files, presumably to show where to install them, but they aren't very helpful in this case. I just want to update it and it's the only one I'm having trouble with right now.

 

Side note, what is a good way to upload images in a post? I tried Imgur, and the interface here on the forum wouldn't let me use the link.

since i have some trouble uploading directly my pak on LL,  i use google drive! The other file uploaded here are just the Json for who still use Scake 6.18(but you will need to download the pak from the other link)! the other  "view"  (idk how to rename it) is the link for the animation pak! configured to work with 6.20 by default but should work with version above too! the jpeg is just something to help with where to put the file of my animation (idk if the jpeg are correct with other scake version).

Dynamic has nothing to do with animations, it's strictly an alternative to PalMagic and altermatic.

 

Sugarcake is the only one (for now) that interacts with animations and Sibelyx and Bakkas' packs do not work with the current version if that's what you're using.

Ah, okay, I wasn't understanding the Google Drive one! It looked like it was empty, but i didn't know I had to download it after I opened it. It was not very obvious.

 

For the download link on the google drive one, it just says 'view', and then when you get to the google drive page, it actually says 'empty' on there, so I assumed there was also a problem there. What you have to do it download the file once you are on the Google Drive page (click the 'download button on the top left corner of the page, there is an arrow that points down), and then just add the files like normal. So far, it's not like any of the other files listed on the guide, so it was a little bit confusing. Thank you for responding!

 

That Splatterina animation is fucking excellent, by the way.

Okay. 🤔 I will try and refresh it all then and I will remove those ones

Yeah that happened to me too, still trying to figure out the cause. I updated SCake to the latest version and that garbage all happened. It doesn't crash my game though so I'll live with it, small victories lol.

Actually thinking on it I updated scake too so maybe it wasn’t dynamic pals.

由於我直接在LL上上傳我的pak檔案遇到了一些問題，所以我使用了Google Drive！這裡上傳的另一個文件是Json文件，供仍然使用Scake 6.18的用戶使用（但您需要從另一個鏈接下載pak文件）！另一個「視圖」（我不知道如何重命名）是動畫pak檔案的連結！預設配置為與6.20版本相容，但應該也適用於更高版本！ JPEG檔案只是用來幫助您確定動畫檔案的存放位置（我不知道JPEG檔案是否適用於其他Scake版本）。

Is the latest LarryModel_P the BakkasVSkin 1.0.5 uploaded by Bakkas92 on loverslab? I've used it, but the abdomen still deforms during animation.

[BombaB]

I checked the latest S-Cake, update, it works fine for me, but i did found an odd thing in the rar file, the SugarCake folder has been relocated to the Paks folder, it's no longer in the ~mods folder.

Spoiler

I've tested the game with both path ways, the old path and the new one as well, both paths work perfectly fine for me.

So you don't really have to relocate the SugarCake folder, it works either way.

[dinosoger]

It's not exactly mod-related but our personal server port was moved up one number for some reason after updating this recent patch. Are you by chance on a server?

no i play single player

[CKZ000]

Okay so after uninstalling the game, deleting everything, reinstalling the game, putting in the latest UE4SS, and reinstalling only my lab mods my game is now running correctly. So it seems like a Nexus mod was causing the issues. I'm not sure which mod it was so I'm just going to assume it was all of them and slowly update and test out each one so i can find the bastard and make it pay for making me lose everything. Wish me luck yal.

Wait for the animator to fix it or use an updated player model.
