The Mod Launcher is a tool that allows users to install and run Fallout Tactics mods, customize their game play experience and make modding Fallout Tactics a little easier. The Mod Launcher was originally designed to be a platform for modders, it was made to help you create your own Fallout Tactics mods! It makes sharing your mods easier too! By creating slave core folders that are easy to upload and are completely separate from the Fallout Tactics core folder so there is zero unnecessary files uploaded, just modded content.

  • First things first so I'll start with launching the Mod Launcher:
    When you use the automated install version to install the Mod Launcher you should get the option for a (Desktop Shortcut) but for any reason the shortcut did not appear you can always make a shortcut manually, go to where you installed the Mod Launcher, there should be a "ModLauncher.exe" right click on it and select "Create shortcut" then drag the newly created shortcut to your desktop for easy access.
  • Loading plugins, mods and files:
    The Mod Launcher doesn't come with any Plugins or Mods, you need to install them so pick some mods and files (All of them if you'd like) that look interesting and install them. (Download them from the Files section.)

After the mods are installed open the Mod Launcher and click Load Plugins:


All of your mods and plugins should be shown on the screen like so:


Now that your plugins are loaded you still need to select those you want to use, you can select them by left clicking the plugin(s) you want to play, they should be underlined when selected as shown in the image below:


  • Now you need to know how to move the plugins up and down in the list to effect the load order of the mods and plugins:

Select the mod or plugin you want to move by right clicking on it, it should turn Red like so:


Use the up and down buttons to move the selected mod/plugin. Any mod/plugin that requires a specific load order will tell you where it needs to be:


If you have a lot of plugins you can use these buttons to move the list of plugins up or down to view all of them on the screen:


  • To launch the game:

Click Start to launch the selected mods/plugins, or click Start "without any mods selected" to launch Fallout Tactics:


Also this works with both game editors, select the mod you want to edit and click one of the editors below:


FT Tools 2 and the other editors are only in the Tools Patch.

The rest of the buttons you can explore. :)
