How do we use the "mp_mod_optional" tag

[muddles08]

Does anyone know how we use the "mp_mod_optional" tag. I've tried in my mods manifest file but doesn't seam to work. I'm probably doing something wrong so wanted to ask

Thanks

mp_mod_optional: true
Place it anywhere within the brackets in the manifest.

Hello also you just insert that right?

SiiNunit
{
mod_package : .package_name
{
package_version : "1.45
display_name: "Indian"
author: "Chris"

icon: "mod_icon.jpg"
description_file: "mod_description.txt"

category[]: "truck
category[]: "trailer
category[]: "graphics


mp_mod_optional: true
compatible_versions[]: "1.45.*"



}
}

Has anyone had any luck with this working? I still haven't seen anyone using it or my mods work as the host.

Hi, no, that's not how it works somehow. My guys still need the same mods.
Have ScS times written to yesterday see if the answers how that should go.

Yes that's exactly how it works. Although you do have an error further up you're missing a " at the end of a line.

I can attest to say, although I’m not a mod author myself, I placed that line in the manifest of all the mods I’m subscribed to that don’t outwardly affect the truck and they show up as optional, so it does work.

Thanks @Mohegan13

Three actually lol
Does this attribute mean that people can create a convoy and use mods (like paintjobs) where everyone doesn't have to have the same mods?

[Frayner]

@room217au Thats exactly what it does. I have a bunch of interior dashboard mods that not everyone really needs so it would allow me to run convoy without making everyone need these mods.
