How to get a mod to work in existing mp game

Post by Alpha82 »

As stated how do I do that, specifically these mods:

When I load a mp save, they show up in the list of mods, but I know that at least the Bergius Process is not showing up in the game.
Can anyone help me with this?

When you're in the game, copy paste the following into the console

Code: Select all

/c game.forces.player.reset_recipes()
    game.forces.player.reset_technologies()
That should make the new recipes and research show up in the game,

let me know if it doesnt work.

Hi, and thanks for the quick response.
I assume that it is the LUA console you bring up when you have a world loaded, you are referring to?
In that case it you gives me an error:

"trying to call command, but it is not allowed"


/edit I've somehow managed to get it to work, and we can now research it ingame. Thank you for your help :)
