This page is about Modnix's mod manager. Modnix's injector and mod loader can also be used independently, without mod manager.

Table of Contents

Setup

Modnix offers one-click setup by default.

  1. Download installer from release page.
  2. Run the installer. If game is not found, click Browser to locate the game.
  3. Click Setup.
  4. If installation fails, try restart pc, disable anti-virus (important), then re-run the installer as administrator.
  5. After setup, please read the short report. Clicking OK will opens File Explorer to show you the installed Modnix.
  6. You may want to right-click Modnix.exe to pin it to Start or Taskbar, or right-click-drag it to Desktop to create a shortcut.
If installation fails, or if you are scared of installers, try Manual Setup. You may also read Troubleshooting Modnix.

Usage

When you run Modnix, you should see a GUI with lots of stuffs.

Mods Tab (Left)

The left side of the Mods tab shows app, game, and mod status, and their related actions.

On the top left you can see the version and status of Modnix. When expanded, there will be buttons to revert or re-setup Modnix.

Revert will not delete Modnix or mods. What it does is it will revert Modnix's injection, to make the game Modnix-free.

Re-setup works the same as the Installer or the manual setup, typically used after game patch or verify files. There is no need to re-run the original installer.

The other buttons lead to this guide or the fan-made wiki of the game.

Middle left shows the Phoenix Point's location and version. Below it are buttons to launch the game. When expanded, there will be buttons to visit the various official communities.

Bottom left will show the information of the mod selected on the right, with buttons to open it in Explorer, to configure, or to delete it.

Mod descriptions such as name, version, and languages are declared by the mod author. They may be inconsistent, for example PPDefModifier 1.3's declared version is 1.0. Path and file list are exception; they are reported by Modnix for your reference.

As this moment, the only supported config action is to reset config. This will erase and recreate the mod's config file. Only compatible mods have this action, such as Skip Intro, UI Tweaks, Limited War.

Mods Tab (Right)

The right side of the Mods tab is the mod list. It includes all mods that are recognised by Modnix, and basic information such as version, author, type, and status.

PPDefModifier extensions are not currently recognised by Modnix, so they will not be displayed.

On the top is a button to add mod, mod count, and a button to refresh the list, while the bottom has buttons to open the mod folder and to open NexusMods.

When you select a mod, you can see its details on the left.

Log Tab

Visit this tab to see what is happening under the surface. Hope you will appreciate the effort I've put into this little modding tool.

You can also view the mod loader log from here, the one generated by running the game. The buttons should be self-explanatory so I won't waste your time.

Command Line Switches

/skip-launch-check or /s
Bypass non-critical startup checks. If used on the installer, it will skip setup and directly launch the main program.
/reset
Reset Modnix settings, such as game path and last update check time.
