Getting started with modding ADVR

This Tutorial will show you how to install mods to your game and enable them. If you use the Oculus Quest, you need to do a few extra steps to get everything set up. If you are on PCVR, you can skip these steps.

Oculus Quest
If you are modding the game on Quest, there are a few easy steps you need to do first. If you are on PCVR you can skip this step. First, start the game in your Quest, go to the settings menu and on your right, press the button to enable modding (see image).

Now your Quest will display a prompt asking you to give the Read External Storage permission. Ancient Dungeon needs this permission in order to read the mod folder. After you have granted the permission, the game will reload. You can close the game after that.

Now connect your Quest to your PC and make sure you allow your PC to read the files of it. Now you can open the storage of your Quest (either via SideQuest or the windows explorer). Once you have done that,  create a folder called . This folder is now your mod folder. In this folder you can put mods in to play (check image for a step by step).Now that you have the ADVR_Mods folder, you can read further down below where the installation process of mods is explained.

PCVR
If you are modding the game on PCVR, locate the folder where you have ADVR installed (where you have the .exe file that you run) and look for the mod folder.

It is located under:

Ancient_Dungeon_VR_Beta_Data/StreamingAssets/mods/

In this folder, you can put the mod files. Read the next section to get to know how to install mods.

Installing a mod
The first thing you need when installing a mod, is the mod itself. You can download mods from the #modding-creations channel in the Discord. Just download a mod that you like, and we can continue.

Mod files are usually supplied in .zip or .rar files. Zip files can be easily opened with the normal file manager (or another archive manager like WinRar or 7Zip) you have on your PC. Once you have opened the file, you should see a folder, normally named the same as the .zip file is called.

This folder needs to be put in your mods folder. You can just drag and drop it in there.

This image shows the process on PC:

This image shows the process on Quest (drag the testmod folder into your newly created ADVR_Mods folder)

After that, you're good to go! Start up the game, go into settings and on your right, you should see the mod you have just installed.

Be sure to enable it by pressing the button with your controller and press the reload button. The mod should now be loaded!
