Some external mods may not be one of the mod formats supported by r2modman. These mods can be converted to r2modman packages before importing, providing a near-seamless experience within r2modman.

Sideloader

Create a directory named Sideloader and place the Sideloader mods within.

Sideloader/
    asset1.hotmod
    asset2.h3mod

Zip the Sideloader folder itself to create an r2modman package ready for local import.

Asset Bundles

Create a directory named LegacyVirtualObjects within another directory called plugins and place the asset bundles within.

plugins/
    LegacyVirtualObjects/
        bundle_a
        bundle_b
        bundle_b.manifest
Note

.manifest files are not required. They are documentation files used by other modders and have no effect on the mod.

Zip the plugins folder itself to create an r2modman package ready for local import.
