ADOFAI Modding (x86_64)

Installation

  1. Install mono (cross-platform open source .NET framework) via homebrew.
  2. Download UMM
  3. Extract downloaded archive.
  4. Open terminal at UMM folder.

  5. Run

    mono Console.exe

  6. Go through installation process (put game directory as "~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/A Dance of Fire and Ice").

Note

The installation process is the same for Linux. Just change the path of your game accordingly.

  1. Add mods under Mods/ in game directory (If downloaded mods are archives, unarchive them and put them inside Mods/).

Note

On Apple Silicon, for Steam to always launch the x86_64 binairy for ADOFAI, you can do the following:

  1. Get Info (CMD + I) of ADanceOfFireAndIce.app and check Open Using Rosetta 2
  2. Open Terminal and cd to [Game Directory]/ADanceOfFireAndIce.app/Contents/MacOS/

  3. Check for architecture using

    lipo -info "ADanceOfFireAndIce"

  4. If arm64 is detected, run

    lipo -remove arm64 "ADanceOfFireAndIce" -output "ADanceOfFireAndIce"

Warning

Removing the arm64 binary is irreversible. If you want to run the game natively again, you must redownload the game if you make this change.

Compatibility

For downloading mods, it is advised to join the ACS discord server.

Some mods do not work properly when installed. (Texture breaks, input bugs, etc.)
