Mod.Io Plugin

This unofficial TaleSpire plugin finds ZIP files in the Download folder, extracts any tsMod files to the LocalContentPacks folder. This allows mods to be downloaded from the Mod.Io page or the Mod.Io View page directly and still be used in Talespire.

Mod.Io Plugin With Thunderstore-Taleweaver Plugin

The Thunderstore-Taleweaver Plugin deletes mods in the LocalContentPacks folder and then re-copies assets from installed packs. This means that if it runs after the Mod.Io plugin has copied over downloaded mods, those mods will be erased.

However, there is a work-around configruation which allows the two plugins to work together. Follow these steps.

1. In your plugins install folder, create a folder such as [Mod.Io] similar to how you create [LocalContent] for other local mods.
2. Make a CustomData sub-folder inside the [Mod.Io] folder (e.g. [Mod.Io]/CustomData).
3. Configure the Destination Folder of the Mod.Io Plugin to point to the [Mod.Io]/CustomData folder (provide the full path).

This will cause the Mod.Io Plugin to place the downloaded mods into a folder that the Thunderstore-Taleweaver Plugin thinks was a pack downloaded from Thunderstore and thus it will deploy the assets there, along with any other downloaded packs, to the LocalContentPacks folder.
