Prerequisites:
- FATE must be installed
- All four games (OG, UR, CK, TS) are supported.
- The following game platforms are supported
- Original disc
- WildTangent Game Store
- Steam
- Good Old Games
- The following game platforms are NOT supported
- You need to know WHERE the game is installed
Installing for direct usage (one-click deployment method):
- Download and extract FPX Core.
- Copy the application (fpxcmd_x64.exe) and one-click batch file (fpxrun.bat) into your game's root directory.
- Run the batch file, and wait for FPX to finish making a backup of your game
- Place your FPX mods into the new /mods directory (create it if it isn't there)
- Download and extract each mod
- Place each mod within the /mods directory, so that every “patch.json” has its own folder but is only one folder deep, not two.
- Run the batch file to deploy your mods
After this, your mods should be integrated into the game. If you need to add new mods or remove existing ones, do so, then run the batch file again to update.
Installing for use with the NexusMods Vortex Mod Manager:
- Download and extract FPX Core.
- Copy the application (fpxcmd_x64.exe) into your game's root directory.
- Download the FATE extension for Vortex.
- Download your mods from NexusMods.
- Deploy your mods in Vortex
- In the Vortex dashboard (First tab), activate the FPX utility shortcut. Wait for it to complete.
Repeat steps 4-6 when adding, removing, or managing your mods. Make sure Vortex is set to use hard-link deployment; FPX does not support soft-linking at this time.
To investigate errors, open the “errors.log” file that is created in the game directory. This lists all output from FPX; by searching for any [WARNING] and [ERROR] notices, you can look specifically for anything that may require your attention from the last time it ran. If there is no errors.log file, FPX may require administrator privileges to run in the current directory.
