well i know no one so i mean ...

I'm no longer supporting this mod.

The mod is entirely in python.
If you have or know someone that has experience in the python programming language,
they might be able to make it work.

All my mod does is shuffle mods around on the disk, so that BLOPS 3
only sees the mods you want it to see. this is a workaround* for the game's 142 mod list limit.

If you don't have programming experience, you can do the same thing by hand, you just move the mods you don't want, out of the mods folder, then when you done playing make sure to put those mods back before steam thinks it needs to re-download them.

Best of Luck

im trying to get it to work but i keeps not working im downloaded everthing and i still cant just cant

- MachineGirl42069
Try running
"pip install setuptools"
(pip or pip3)

(if your on linux)
If that doesnt fix it, try
installing "python-setuptools"
via your package manager
dnf,apt,etc

its saying im missing pkg_resources idk how to fix it

- NominalTitan8

No, as their files would conflict.
This wasn't designed to fix that issue.

This mod manager was designed to solve an issue that
occurs when you have more than ~142 mods downloaded/subscribed
blops3 won't show all the mods/maps.

With this mod manager, you can make sure that blops3
sees the mods/maps you want to play with.

with this mod can i enable multiple mod?

Why write this program in Python?

Because
1. it was easier to write this program in Python

2. By writing the program in Python Script,
You can Review ALL of the code without needing any kind of de-compiler or special editor.
Just open Notepad, GEdit, Nano, Vim, etc and you can review the code

3. Not sure how you would do this in Black ops Mod Tools, plus you couldn't review that code if it was written in the mod tools.

Note: Any Black ops 3 mod, could contain a virus, and without the special Blops 3 editor, you'd never know

nobody is gonna download this shady ass python mod, also why a python file? shady asf

-majorchaos_ works now without ReSubing it

- Hustiko

Unsub then resub to the mod.
Should Finally work on Windows.

The reason for not using the old version, was because it was held together with spit and chewing gum

- Husitko

I sent you a discord request

-majorchaos_

if you dont mind can you add me on Discord? husitko#6847 for maybe faster Debugging
HERE i separated Commands and output
https://pastebin.com/wDP64u6q

- Husitko

Darn path separators

It should be fixed now.

i am F-ed XD https://ctrlv.sk/6AFQ CAN'T FIND AGREEMENT FILE, EXITING
i just realized __init__.py is empty ... but init is called in run.py as main not as init?

- Husitko
Alright should be fixed in this update (v4.0.0)

deleted just config Json and same errors

@majorchaos_ tried delete full mod folder 2669814712 and redownload it redownloaded python redownloaded python via chokolatey

- Husitko
Looks like the config.json got corrupted.
Delete the config.json inside the Mod Loader's directory, that should fix it.

Meeeh after some maps updated ... your modloader suddenly stopped working KEKW

For anyone getting "File Permission Error when trying to enable staging" close the file browser i wish i knew this 14 hours of trying to set perms for steam folder ago

also this doesnt detect my directory for bo3

doing that doesnt work

- JuggerNog_

Yeah, that's a Windows thing.
Currently my program can't fix that.
But, you can change the file permissions for the Steam Workshop directory
(the directory where steam keeps the mods for all steam games)
I helped the other poster (Taylor) with the same problem, it should work for you as well.

Summery:
You need to give "all programs" the permission to read and write to the entire directory of.
"<Path to your Steam Library here>\steamapps\workshop\content"

This link explains the file permissions and how to change them.

Im Kinda sad because im getting an error "File Permission Error when trying to enable staging"

its working now

- husitko
That bug report you sent helped me locate the issue,
it should be fixed now. (as of v3.0.3)

But if the bug isn't fixed,
or another bug pops up,
go ahead and DC me,
or post a topic in the discussions tab.

my DC husitko#6847 if you want chat about bugs etc.

https://pastebin.com/58VnYJrq
paths are correct but runing from mod_folder default

- husitko

I've pushed an update.
See if that fixes it.

ended with error
https://pastebin.com/AfJhJmxf
same error on original mod_loader folder

- Pickymarker

You might try changing the ownership of the workshop directory to your user.
And don't forget to check the box, to apply the change recursively.

i tired that and it didn't work

- Pickymarker

it says file access denied in the permission and i tried everything to give permission and it still is not working

- Pickymarker

Install Python 3.9+
Then run the run_on_windows.bat file

how do you get this to work on windows 11

- Taylor

Hope it works for ya,
and
You're welcome.

Awesome. I am working on giving my entire drive permissions. 6TB's will take awhile lol. Hopefully it works, thank you!

- Taylor

Oh, yeah that.
Windows File Permissions are the issue here.

You'll have to change the file permissions for the entire steam workshop mods directory.

It can be a little complicated
this should help
https://www.thewindowsclub.com/change-files-and-folders-permissions-in-windows-10

Give "all programs" the ability to read and write permissions to, the entire directory of
"E:\Other SteamLibrary\steamapps\workshop\content"

That should fix the problem


As for what the Mod Manager does.
1. Its made to be a workaround to an issue that occurs when you have more than ~142 mods downloaded.
2. And it's also made to fix a Steam Proton issue with loading video (.mkv) files
The #2 isn't going to be an issue for a windows user, so you can ignore that

Unfortunately the Mod Manager doesn't allow for loading Multiple mods at the same time, just does a bit of file shuffling, in order to get around issue #1

I'm obviously doing something wrong. Just for clarification, what exactly does the mod do? I'm under the impression it'll allow me to use multiple mods at once. Am I wrong? I also appreciate you taking time out of your day to help me out.

when I open the "run" button for the python it opens the mod manager as well as a CMD window for windows 10. in the CMD window it tells me all the scripts and gives me all errors. I get all the text thats in the agreement file and errors such as:

File Permission Error when trying to enable staging
[WinError 5] Access is denied: 'E:\\Other SteamLibrary\\steamapps\\workshop\\content\\311210' -> 'E:\\Other SteamLibrary\\steamapps\\workshop\\content\\311210_total'


E drive is my 2nd HDD where some of my games are installed at. the error shows up for all mods I have when trying to stage them after clicking enable mod manager

- Taylor

Hm.
Does it show "error 5" when you hit the "Enable Mod Management" button, or when the program first starts?

when I do it says windows error 5. I found a video on how to fix it and I did it and nothing changed. how do I stage mods? it tells me it can't stage the mods.

- Taylor

Hit the "Enable Mod Management" button.
and then you'll be good to go.

on win 10 here, got python installed and i can pull up the mod manager, but I get "Can't Unstage mods! ENABLE STAGING/MANAGING OF MODS FIRST!" What might I be doing wrong?

- hopkinst830

Looks like python isn't installed on your system.
Install Python 3.9 or above, and try again.
https://www.python.org/downloads/

'py' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

Waiting for 8 seconds, press a key to continue ...

alr thank you

If you have any issues, i'll try to fix them
