u/Zero-Up

So today I decided to boot up Atlyss through the Thunderstorm Mod Manager, and not only does controller still not working with it, But I literally can't even access the settings menu while using Thunderstore. I have not found a way in the program to update it in any place that would make sense to me. And I looked how to update the program, and I only got tutorials on how to install it, so there's either no need to update it manually, or it's only possible to update it through reinstalling the whole program again. I even restarted my computer to make sure, and the problem persists.

I don't plan on playing this game right now, but when I do: I basically cannot play it without controller, since I find the keyboard and mouse experience of this game to be frankly terrible. But I would probably still want to play with at least a character customization mod, since I prefer skinny legs leaps and bounds more than thicc legs.

Does anyone have any idea what the issue could be? Does anyone know how to update Thunderstore? Does anyone know any alternative to Thunderstore?

Thanks in advance!

I have made sure to put the mods in the addons folder of the game. the game is not installed in downloads or program files, but it's installed in a special tree of folders I have on one of my hard drives dedicated to games I download from the Internet. Every source I have checked thus far has made it clear that I have done everything right. And yet: when I go to the addons section of the main menu, and check the addons folder, it simply tells me that it doesn't detect any mods, even though I clearly have mods installed.

The error message says: Default folder\addons\ This folder is empty. (Press a key)

the two mods I have installed are the Trip mod (which is a .pk3 file) and the Jump Leniency mod (which is a .lua).

My addons folder being shown for reference.

I am using 2.2.1.5, which to my understanding is the latest version. I also have the SRB2 Reveries build installed on the same hard drive, which I would not assume would cause any issues, but I can't rule out it causing a conflict.

A screenshot of my folder to Reveries is

As stated earlier: other people have seemingly had similar problems, but this did not help me find solutions. I bring up this much detail so that people don't assume that I haven't done anything I'm supposed to do. Can anyone explain what's going on?

EDIT: I restarted my computer just to see if that would fix the issue. At first it seemed like the issue persisted, but then I noticed when I checked the addons folder, there were no files. So I copy and pasted the files onto who who the addons folder, and they now appear. But I can't seem to enable them for some reason. And restarting the computer again does not fix it. I'll try to look up why the addons aren't working, and if I can't find anything: I'll make a new post about this specific issue later. But back to the original issue: I suppose dragging and dropping create a dummy files or something, so there were actually no falls for the game to detect, Despite my computer telling me there were. So I guess that's the issue.

So I just beat the first boss, after taking a week or two break from the game to play Terraria, and I didn't feel satisfied in doing it, so I want to switch it to story mode.

My problem is that I don't know how the injury multiplier works, and I want to know that before I set it to anything, because I still want it to be a challenge.

If the injury multiplier a reduction, as in: [attack damage]-[attack damage]*[injury multiplier]

Or is it a percent of the damage they would otherwise do, as in: [attack damage]*[injury multiplier]

This is important, because A 95% (the multiplier I'm thinking of starting with) would decrease enemy attack damage by a _massive_ amount in the former, but only a slight bit in the latter. So I view this different that's critically important.

I found another Reddit post on this topic, but most of the replies seem to just talk about how the Perry is an essential aspect of the game, which is the antithesis of helpful. So please make the very first thing you say in a comment be answering the actual question. Thank you in advance!
