This is the best tutorial. I didn't know Mod Controller was a thing for so long and had abandoned all my mods after some of the updates. Now I've been able to remake all of them using the Mod Controller and have started working on so many more. Really wish Conan was more clear starting off in the Dev kit on how to do this stuff, adding armors and items is so easy and the workshop needs more people adding content. 10/10
These tutorials seem like an excellent place to learn how to start modding Conan Exiles! I'm curious however, I know the modding has changed quite a bit over the years and was simply curious how much of the info here is still viable. I'm looking to start dabbling and would love to use these videos provided the info is still accurate and relevant! Thanks!
@@Verdigo76 I have made a few head pieces but I moved in to teaching myself 3D work and started custom making all of my own weapons and decors in my mod Lore_items_and_roleplay which now has a healthy amount of users Weapons and decors with separate feats for different races. I make all of the items in the mod (over 200) in blender and texture them in substance painter. It has taught me a lot of skills and iv also ended up making assets for other modders instead of them busying assets from a store like turbosquid and iv designed stuff for other indie games and other media.
Hey @Death2Mongo, could you create some new tutorial videos for Conan Exiles modding? I'm particularly interested in learning how to edit the sandstorm, including adjusting its duration, the area it affects, and triggering events to spawn creature NPCs during sandstorms, not items. Additionally, I'd love tutorials on editing recipes and other aspects of the game that I'm still struggling to understand. Your tutorials have been incredibly helpful, but there are still some aspects I need guidance on. Thanks in advance for your help!
Since this video was posted, there is now a "Additional Rule" that lets you select Server. Does this do what you are talking about at around ~8:00 in the video? Sorry for the newb question.
I see this is one of a series of videos. It's there anything in this series about combining mods? For example, if you download a lot of armor or weapon mods, and they overwrite each other's tables, is there a guide for how to "repackage" these groups of mods into a single one where you can make all the tables work together?
Do you have a video that tells someone how to move an item..... lets say a sword that someone else made and posted..... to import it into your live srever?
Does anyone know why all the models for weapons are not present in the item list? Specifically for great axes, there are only like six models available. The great axe of the north does not have the model that can be seen in the game which is really frustrating.
I've never mod before, but downloaded the dev kit and found your tutorials shortly there after. I have no desire at this time to add items/equipment to the game. I was more intrigued with trying to figure out how to create a mod that enables thralls to climb walls with the player character, or to swim in water with the player character instead of teleporting around and popping in. Do your tutorials cover anything that may equip me with a bit of knowledge to put me in that direction?
@@_...0.._ The DevKit should be stand alone in that it downloads every asset in the game + all the tools. I was able to download and launch without issue on Linux, maybe verify files if you can to ensure there's nothing corrupted.
So followed this mod but when I add more rows. No matter what item i spawn in it will always spawn in the last items. So i have 3 items 3 diffrent IDs and 3 items show up in the test. I click 1 and get 3 I click 2 and get 3 I click 3 and get 3 Not sure whats going on.
Hey I am very interested in making a armour mod for conan exiles I am currently studying gaming design in university and would love to test out my skills on making unique armour styles I just wouldn't know how to add the armour to the game would following this tutorial teach me how?
Can someone please tell me, do I have to re-download the entire UE4 engine? I already work in Unreal so is there a way to download just the Conan addon?
Well you think you could make an unlimited avatar mod and name it something with avatar in it so it'll come up for every one who types anything with avatar in it
@@chillwaffle2033 EPIC literally owns Unreal. So you HAVE to get it from epic. Its a really simple answer. This is how every mod is made, and yes, for steam..
Very cool and helpful tutorial. I was able to follow step by step except for running the simulation after linking the item table. When I run the simulation at that point it goes to the character creation screen rather than a blank slate and CTRL-Shift-c doesn't do anything. Anyone have any ideas what I've done wrong? Thanks!
The first time you run a simulation you have to create a character. After that point, it should go on to your blank slate. At one point I restarted as i wanted to enable nudity (lol) and so i recreated a character and actually loaded the proper map as if playing the game. At that point I didnt know how to get back to the empty level, but i think just exiting with escape key and then running again took me back there - just as a heads up if anything like that happens to you also.
Hey.. first of all.. I think your videos for modding are the best.! this helped me make my first mod, which was related to stacking.. Unfortunately certain things are not stackable, even tho my max stack value is set to be higher than the default stack.. Everything else works fine, but orbs, lingering essence, unblemished flesh.. doesnt stack, but ambrosia etc stack fine.. what would cause the max stack value not to take effect?
To be totally honest I am not sure what would cause that. There may be special handling for certain things, and be sure you dont have an old version of the itemtables cached in the content folder, though that shouldn't matter if you are using a mod controller to merge your tables.
Also, my devkit has another drop-down option on the class defaults menu, called addition rule, which allows me to choose server, client or server and client together. Any information about what should be selected here would be appreciated, thanks.
Sorry for the long delay in response, I have not been monitoring this account. RPC stands for Remote Procedure Call. And these tutorials are a bit old and do not reflect the current dev kit. I will be making new tutorials in the future and will put links to them here.
Are you still alive funny bunny? Naming components AC. & BP are not allowed anymore.I cant seem to find component add "RPC" either.Plz reply so we know you are still alive & help a dum bunny.
Any chance you could make a mod that causes items to stack up to 300 instead of 100? Maybe something that will not need updating everytime the game has an update?
Nathan Hall I figured it out go into the dev kit control panel and search for stop change that hotkey to something you'll never press and then when you go back into the demo you can hit escape and change all of your settings and stuff
Very nice tutorial, but very hard to follow along. #1. You need to stop moving the mouse cursor as you talk. #2 when you change from screen to screen take a few seconds and explain how you got to the next screen. Thanks
Thanks for the feedback! was not really putting much thought into these, just sort of recording as went. Future tutorials will be a lot more profressional.
