cant find the .rigsofrods folder

[jooshbutmynameisjosh]

I recently started using the itch.io desktop app to run rigs of rods. I can't find the .rigsofrods folder to change configs and add external mods. I use linux if that makes any difference.

It's in /home/$USER/.rigsofrods/
Depending on your file manager, you can press CTRL+H to toggle hidden files and directories

I dont think it is there i am using linux mint if it helps

 

[Devel]

Try entering cd ~/.rigsofrods/in the terminal, or you can click on the toggle location entry (top right) in your file manager and just paste ~/.rigsofrods/ in there as a more user-friendly method. If those don't work, make sure you didn't delete the folder by accident or moved it.
I also use linux mint, so this should be pretty helpful

i am also using the development build and it deletes all of my mods as well

 

[Devel]

Just keep a backup of all your mods in a separate folder
And also, were you able to find the folder?

 

[jooshbutmynameisjosh]

it said it could not find it, so maybe it doesnt exist?

 

[Devel]

Might want to try reinstalling the game

 

[jooshbutmynameisjosh]

still said it could not find it

 

[Devel]

see if ~/.config/itch/apps/rigs-of-rods-dev exists, you might be able to put your mods in the content folder
one quick question: are you using the windows or native linux version?
if using wine and windows version, the folder would be ~/Documents/My Games/Rigs of Rods or something like that

 

[jooshbutmynameisjosh]

I can open that folder from itch.io but .rigsofrods is not there and yes i am using the native linux version

 

[jooshbutmynameisjosh]

my folder is in /.var/app/io.itch.itch/config/itch/apps though

 

[Devel]

Oh so you used the flatpak instead of getting it from the website
well,that's besides the point. You need to launch the game first because the folder is automatically generated. If you don't launch the game, the folder won't exist

 

[Devel]

If nothing works, you can always specify another mods directory from the game's settings

After installing a mod from the in-game Repository, open the vehicle selector and enable "Show details". The full file path to the mod directory should be displayed:

okay, so, using flatpack itch makes it not use a .rigsofrods folder, so yeah. I am not using flatpack itch and I found it

actually it was the point

 

[Devel]

Well, guess now you have your .rigsofrods folder
I honestly have no experience with the itch flatpak, so I probably wouldn't have known that was the issue anyways
