Deleting a mod

Vetinari

To get proving grounds running, i tried to delete all my mods.

So, I deleted all the content of the workshop folder in roaming> Natural Selection 2. There was still one mod listed, though: Commander's bible. Strange thing is: This is actually a guide from the workshop. So, I de-faved the guide - It didn't work. After some messing around, I faved and de-faved the guide and voilá - the mod was gone in the list.

However, another mod appeared - @Sewlek's Faction Assets mod. The game insists that I subscribed to the mod, which I never did. Actually subscribing to the mod only creates another entry in the list, named the same.

As the game keeps giving me error messages about not finding "game files of subscribed mod faction assets", i have to get rid of that list entry somehow.

But how?

edit: I verified files already. And I would like to avoid a reinstall.

I verified again and now it turned into Factions Alpha! wth...

I have passed my mod out to a number of people, and they all have one problem or another launching the game. The single biggest problem is active mods that are not compatible with my mod, that being pretty much every mod in existence, as they are designed for NS2.

Is there a code way I can force all mods to be turned off when my mod is activated?

SteamDir\userdata\Your NS2 ID\4920\remote\options.xml

In there you should see a list of any mod the game thinks you have installed/or subscribed to, and you can delete them from there.

Thank you ^:)^

I'm gonna try this immediately.

All I found was this

<mods>
        <active_mods></active_mods>
    </mods>

And it was empty.

@Soul_Rider add this to main.lua:

    local deactivatedMods = false
    for s = 1, Client.GetNumMods() do
       if Client.GetIsModActive(s) and Client.GetModTitle(s) ~= "YOUR MOD" then
            Client.SetModActive(s, false)
            deactivatedMods = true
       end
    end

    if deactivatedMods then
        // restart so no mods are loaded
       Client.RestartMain()
    end

@JimWest You are a genius Thank you

Unfortunately you might have a problem with steamcloud then, or its possible there is somewhere else mods get stored. You might try turning off steam cloud for NS2 and seeing if that fixes the issue, then trying to re-enable it to force a sync.
