internal/  mod_loader.gd.remap  mod_loader_store.gd.remap  resources/

Hi and thanks for reporting.
Can you share some more information?
What steps did you take, what game do you want to mod, Godot version, OS?

[walksanatora]

so I downloaded the latest release from https://github.com/GodotModding/godot-mod-loader/releases/tag/v6.2.0
unzipped ModLoaderCompiled.zip next to WindowKill and modified WindowKill's windowkill-opengl.bat which launches the game using opengl instead of vulkan
but the ModLoaderCompiled does not have mod_loader_setup.gd
I also tried downloading the Source Code (zip) and unzipping and placing the addons folder in the same spot. but neither worked because mod_loader_setup.gd is not in either of them
I am running on linux through wine

Thanks for the details.
The current released versions of the mod loader are for Godot 3.5. WindowKill is created with a custom build of Godot 4.2. The creator of the game released the custom engine build used here:
https://github.com/torcado194/godot/tree/windowkill

There is a post on the Godot Discord Showcase, you can follow that for a bit more information.

Regarding the zip downloading, that's a good point. We should add a zip to the release that can be used for the self-setup.
