Preparation
- Visit the official Darkness Falls mod page and download the server version of the mod. Ensure you choose the correct version for your game build.
- Extract the downloaded archive on your local computer. Inside you will find a
Modsfolder.
Installing Darkness Falls
- Navigate to the Wabbanode Control Panel and Stop your server.
- Open the Files tab.
- Delete or move any existing files and folders that will be replaced by the mod (for example, old
Modsfolders). Keeping backups helps in case you need to revert later. - Upload the contents of the Darkness Falls server package to the root directory of your server. If you extracted multiple folders (
Data,Mods, etc.), upload each of them so they merge with the existing game files. - Wait for the upload to finish, then verify that the new folders appear correctly in the file manager.
- Return to the main page and Start your server. The first launch may take longer as the mod initializes.
- Have each player install the client version of Darkness Falls on their own machines. They must match the server’s version to connect.
By installing Darkness Falls, your server gains a host of new challenges and features. Keep your files backed up so you can update or remove the mod if needed in the future.
