Video Install Guide:

The map is releasing in a Public Beta mode as I'm sure issues will arise and will need fixing. If you run into a problem, please report it in a DM to GreasedScotsman on the unofficial Boneworks Discord, found here:

This map REQUIRES the included non-public versions of CustomMapInteractions and PlayerModels mods.

The included versions of ModThatIsNotMod, its BackwardsCompatibilityPlugin.dll, CustomMaps are also required. Though newer versions of these mods may work, it is highly recommended to back up your current Mods installation and only use what is provided in the Melon Vault zip in order to avoid compatibility issues.

If you use mods that are not included in the release zip file or use mods that are different versions than what was tested for this map's release, you use them at your own risk and may encounter unexpected issues. The majority of performance and functionality issues from Beta 1 stemmed from incompatible or outdated mod installations. Playtesters also found a few mods that caused problems with the map, like Grenades and BetterDualWielding, that would activate triggers early or cause oddities with player models. Super Strength is not recommended on your first playthrough.

Install Instructions:

To install Melon Vault, extract the MelonVaultPublicBeta2-ExtractMe.zip file into your BONEWORKS game folder, being sure to keep the folder structure intact.

Do not give yourself ammo or weapons, as they will be supplied throughout the map. Slow-mo is diabled on purpose as a game mechanic and will be returned to the player during gameplay.

Latest changes:

  • Fixed blown-out Reflection Probe at the end of the Fan section
  • Possible fix for the rare chance that the boss dies without triggering the finale sequence (feedback requested if this issue remains)

Alternative Manual Install (not recommended):

  • Place the CustomMapInteractions, CustomMaps, ModThatIsNotMod and Playermodels.dll files into your BONEWORKS\Mods folder
  • Place the BackwardsCompatibilityPlugin.dll file into your BONEWORKS\Plugins folder
  • Place all.melon files into your BONEWORKS\UserData\CustomItems folder
  • Place the melonvault.bcm file into your BONEWORKS\UserData\CustomMaps folder

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
  3. For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.

Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
