[EDIT of 29/11/2020: for the moment, it does not seem possible to play with mods in multiplayer with the Epic Games versions. However, a patch for the Steam version was released yesterday in order to allow the Epic + Steam cross platform multiplayer (but without mod)]
Instant tutorial! Many of you ask me how to install a mod on MudRunner in Epic Games Store version. If the maneuver is possible, it can sometimes be risky if you start to unzip the game's installation files. Here is one SAFE method, among others ...
Download a mod
To get started, you need to download a MudRunner mod. There aren't 40.000 sites, and unfortunately they are often villainous, but hey, let's go with it. Go for example on « http://www.mudrunnermods.com/" And choose the vehicle or the map to install.
The most important thing now is to check the internal structure of the zip. If inside there is a folder like "Copy to game folder" or similar information, it will not work! You have to unzip and REZIP the following structure:
In the zip above, you see that there are 2 unnecessary directories: " 00 - Copy to game folder " and " Media". There I extracted and rezipped only the structure circled in red. I took the opportunity to rename the zip to the name of the mod (here mercedes.zip).
Copy now this famous zip in the installation directory of the game. In this directory you will also find the zip of the DLC, and the zip named media.zip, texturescache.zip, etc ... Avoid touching them, at the risk of corrupt the installation of the game. Here, the file we are interested in is "config.xml".
You have to edit it with a simple text editor, and add a new "mediapath" so that the game detects your zipped mod. In my example, I will add the line
To uninstall the mod, it will suffice to delete the zip and the line which corresponds to it in the “config.xml” file. If these few explanations were difficult to understand, why not watch the video tutorial at the beginning of the article?
