Stuck on SML Unreal project
Hi.
I have a small knowledge in coding and the guides i found are scattered or outdated.
I got SatisfactoryModLoader-master and unzipped it, tried to open it with unreal engine 5.3.2 but wwise plugins were missing, those integrations only exists for 5.4 and above so i disabled it and then it didnt load in.
I'm trying to make a mod to swap out the player character, i converted a rigged model to fbx from what i can tell i need to go into the unrelal engine project of modloader and finish it there but i can't open the project file.
I never tried to make a mod for this game, am I supposed to use a different file or tool?
Thanks.

the docs walk through how to get it and integrate wwise with the specific old version SF uses

You seem to have questions about modding.
You should grab the Aspiring Modder role from Discord's role selection page (<id:customize>) and then read the docs carefully (https://docs.ficsit.app/satisfactory-modding/latest/index.html#_for_developers). If you still have questions after that, please go to #help-writing-mods!
your phrasing makes it sound like you aren't using the custom CSS engine

yeah i downloaded stock one from epic, i suppose thats one mistake already, ill get to it
okey thanks, ill go through it
yup I suggest starting over, uninstalling that engine and removing the SML project you downloaded earlier to avoid any risk of cached files messing stuff up
yeah, mb sorry for the noob spam 😅
you're all good, the noob spam is "something isn't working, help me <no further context>"
where did your journey start that resulted in you accidentally downloading the normal UE 5.3.2? ideally something should have pointed you to the modding docs
i googled how to replace the character model and what i found pointed me towards the mod loader saying i need to match the rigging of the model with what the game has for the character but for that i need the mod loader project which has the game assets, but it was in unreal 5.3.2 i noticed the css behind it but i couldn't find it on google/epic so i thought ill try the stock one
turns out if i just read a bit more i would have found where to get it
