Install
Use R2ModMan or similar installer to install this plugin.
In the plugins install folder find the `LordAshes-GroupViewPlugin` sub-folder and open it. There will be a files
called `_GroupViewPluginAsset.tsMod. Move this folder to your LocalContentPacks` folder (typically in
`C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\LocalLow\BouncyRock Entertainment\TaleSpire\LocalContentPacks`). See Limitations section
below for an explanation.
Usage
Adding Content
In your Talespire Data folder, typically `C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\LocalLow\BouncyRock Entertainment\TaleSpire`
there should be a `LocalContentPacks folder. This is where Talespire expects Local tsMod` files.
Do NOT place your tsMods in this folder. Instead:
- Create a `LocalContentPacksByGroups` besides the existing folder.
- Inside this folder, create the hierarchy that you want to be accessible in Talespire.
For example, `C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\LocalLow\BouncyRock Entertainment\TaleSpire\LocalContentPacksByGroups\Demons`
- Place your `tsMod` within this hierarchy.
Using The Group View
- Open the Asset Library to the Others | Local folder.
- Press the keyboard shortcut for activating the Group View plugin.
- Select the desire folder using the Group View buttons.
- Select the desired asset, as usual, from the listed assets.
Default Activation Key: `HOME`
Limitation
The `C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\LocalLow\BouncyRock Entertainment\TaleSpire\LocalContentPacks` must always have at least
one asset so that the Local folder does not disppear in Talespire. As such the plugin places a `_GroupViewPluginAsset.tsMod`
asset in this folder and this asset remains regardless which folder is showing. Do not remove this asset.
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- 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.
- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- 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.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
