Installation
THIS MOD HAS A NON-STANDARD INSTALL PROCESS!
If you installed an older version of the mod, delete it before installing the new one! If you still have a version with Northstar.Client
installed in the mods
directory, or a version thats called NanohmProtogen-VanillaPlus
, delete those too!
Video tutorial, in case you prefer that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlADmc46tMQ (though i still recommend reading the rest of the steps mentioned here, just in case!)
1.) Install Northstar if you don't already have it
2.) Create a folder in your Titanfall2 Directory called R2Titanfall
3.) Inside of that folder, create a folder called packages
4.) Place the unzipped Thunderstore download of Vanilla+ in the packages
folder, and extract it
5.) The file structure should look like this:
Titanfall2
R2Titanfall
packages
NachosChipeados-VanillaPlus-2.5.1
mods
NP.VanillaPlus
(Titanfall2/R2Titanfall/packages/NachosChipeados-VanillaPlus-2.5.1/mods/NP.VanillaPlus
)
Note that the folder in packages
is NOT a .zip
file. If the file path looks like this: R2Titanfall/packages/NP.VanillaPlus
, then you didn't install Vanilla+ correctly.
Launching
There are multiple ways you can launch this profile. You only need to do one of these, and it's recommended you do A
.
A.) Add -northstar -vanilla -profile=R2Titanfall
as launch options to Titanfall 2 on Steam or EA, then launch Titanfall 2 from either launcher (recommended, as this will count hours and achievements, where as a .bat
won't)
B.)
-
On steam, on the bottom left of your library click
Add a Game
->Add a Non-Steam Game
->Browse
, and locate your Titanfall2 Directory. -
After you do this, select
Titanfall2.exe
and clickAdd selected Programs
. This will create an extraTitanfall2
entry in your library. -
Right click on this new entry, and rename it to
Titanfall 2: Vanilla+
. Then, add-northstar -vanilla -profile=R2Titanfall
as launch options for it. This will allow you to launch regular Titanfall 2, and Vanilla+ separately, as well as count hours and achievements.
Do note that there's a chance the game won't launch, without giving you any signs or errors, because the EA app is hot garbage. If this happens, keep trying to launch until it finally lets you in.
C.)
- Create a file called
R2Titanfall.txt
in yourTitanfall2
folder, then put the following text in it:
NorthstarLauncher.exe -northstar -vanilla -profile=R2Titanfall
-
Now save it and rename it to
R2Titanfall.bat
-
Double click
R2Titanfall.bat
to launch the Vanilla+ profile we just made. Open the EA App first if you use this method, otherwise it most likely won't work.
Installing additional mods
An easy way to install mods can be done by simply downloading a mod off of Thunderstore, unzipping the downloaded file, then placing that folder (usually named something like NachosChipeados-VanillaPlus-2.5.1
, for example) inside the R2Titanfall/packages
directory. Create it if it doesn't exist.
Alternatively, you can follow the guide for installing mods in the mods
directory.
DO NOT install mods into R2Titanfall/packages/NachosChipeados-VanillaPlus-2.5.1/mods
. That's NOT the right folder.
For both ways, remember to also download dependencies listed in the mod page (ignore Mod Settings
if it's listed)
