Fear And Hunger Mod Loader
A downloadable mod loader
Hiya and welcome to my mod loader. It works for both F&H 1 and 2 although not all of the mods I make will work for both.
If you need help join the discord.
Install Instructions (get support in discord if you need it)
Mod Loader Features
-Abiltiy to toggle on and off any and all mods you have installed.
-Save File Protection.
-All mods are marked as either "safe for save files" or "unsafe for save files" if you are running mods that are unsafe for game files, the mod loader will create a seperate set of saves and protect your vanilla saves. If you are using mods that are safe for game files than the mod loader will load your normal saves for the game.
-There are settings to make the mod manager always use its own saves or always use vanilla saves.
-Ability to have seperate saves for each mod or combination of mods.
-Config files to allow customisation of mods.
-Automatically disables incompatible mods, and helps reduce crashes.
My Mods
Most mods will work for both F&H1 and F&H2. But if they are not working properly than the mod loader should automatically disable them and inform you which one it believes is not supported.
Note: All keybinds are customize able in the ingame keybind menu.
All mods support F&H1, a lot of them should work for 2, but I have not tested them.
Boss Rush Of The Endless.
-Craft a special book from the book of fears, a quill and a black vile, use the book and enjoy your special hell.
-A boss rush mod with multi troop combat, IE: enjoy fighting all the new gods at once. I'd love to see if anyone can beat this
-The mod allows you to do a proper boss rush, fighting 9 rounds of multi troop fights in a row or you can work through them one by one healing in between.
-This mod adds items to the game, you may use it with vanilla saves by selecting the "force vanilla saves" option in the mods menu, but be warned if you play with it on a vanilla save and then save that save with the mod active it may not work without the mod. By defualt this mod will force the game to use a seperate set of save files for modded saves.
-Adds 2 new endings (one is a WIP rn but will eventually have a custom final boss fight and area)
Full List Of Changes (Spoilers)
-Round 1: Salmonsnake & blackwitch-Round 2: Cave Mother & Harvestman & Human Hydra
-Round 3: Red Man, Greater Blight & Blight
-Round 4: Isayah, Iron Shakespeare
-Round 4.5: Trortur & Moonless Gaurd & body snatcher

-Round 7: Nameless & Old Gaurdian & Lizard Mage
-Round 8: Skin Granny & Francois & Chambara & Valteil
-Round 9: Gel Gro-Goroth & Sylvian & Griffith and GOFAH
Better Saves
-Allows as many save files as you would like, by default max saves is set to 99 but can be set to how ever large a value you would like.
-Also displays name and difficulty on save files, as shown below:
-adds the ability to "save and quit" / suspend a run. As such if a player does not want to have to play 5 hours straight for an s ending they may suspend the run and then return to it later, providing no benefit other than letting them play later.
Dev Tools.
-Press "p" to open and close a cheat menu. Cheat items, actors and skills.
-Press "v" to use a better form of phase step.
-These keybinds might have been changed at some point. Open the keybinds menu in game in settings and bind CHEAT to whitch ever buttons you want.
Unlocked Blood Portal
-Press "b" to open the blood portal menu from anywhere. Allowing fast travel from any location.
-open keybinds menu in settings to bind these keys to what you would like
Quick Save / Load
-Open save and Load menu from anywhere
-hot key to make a quick save that will over write the last quick save (stored in a special place separate from the rest of the saves).
-hot key to load the quick save.
-open keybinds menu in settings to bind these keys to what you would like.
Easy Empty Scroll
Opens cheat menu once to get one item of your choice. I don't restrict the items hence why its "easy" cus you could spawn in the kings crown or instructions for rebirth XD. But as long as you dont do that its just empty scroll without typing.
Naked Cahara/BBgirl mod
Replaces all menu sprites with dungeon knight variants.
Cahara is thick and bottoms.
All chars get naked when wearing no armor and no accessories.

Do not download for F&H 2, even turning off all mods it made the game unplayable. Only use for F&H 1
please elaborate what happens?
I downloaded RPGModManagerInstall.exe, click the prompts when they came up and save the files to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Fear & Hunger 2 Termina. When starting the game a prompt would ask "the mod loader thinks you are running fear and hunger 2 Termina if this is not correct things might go wrong." I would click ok and the menu would have new options; Mods and Continue Suspended Run. When I opened the mods menu and turned on any of the mods the game would have a prompt "Press Okay to Reload Mods." then after it would show the mod loader prompt again. Up until this point it is the same for F&H 1 and F&H2 and I have not had any noticeable problems with 1. Termina however sometimes the menu does not load and its just the title screen and I can't click on anything, but most of the time whenever I try to Continue or start a New Game a black box with Loading pops up and the game never starts, I've even waited ten minutes just to see if the game would start eventually. Afterwards I tried turning off all the mods on the Mods menu and the problem still persisted. I hope this answers your question, I'm not trying to be condescending, I'm just trying to be as detailed as I can.
Hi hi, so i'm trying to figure out how to download mods for "Fear and Hunger" on my Macbook Pro and all I see in general is "Extract the downloaded file to the "www" folder."
The thing is, on Mac, there is no "www" folder.
So i'm just wondering what to do here, i've only ever modded "Starwars Knights of the old Republic" back on my regular laptop before it died on me and it was extremely easy.
Tried modding that same game on my Macbook Pro, but ultimately couldn't figure it out.
Im not entirely sure how to help, on mac the game files are ususally compressed into mac’s equivalent of an executable, so if you can uncompress the files or open that executable maybe then you can add it to the www folder which does exist within the file somewhere. The mod will run on mac and people have gotten it working in the discord, but it is usually a case by case kind of thing, and we dont have concreate install instructions on how to get it working, sorry if thats not the answer you had hoped for.
It's all good, I appreciate the response.
I ended up posting the same question in like three different places, so hopefully someone will be able to explain it to me in a dumbed down type of way. xD
Hi, I'm facing the same problem, can you please let me know if you ever find a solution for it? Thanks!
Well, I kinda figured it out, in a way, lol. Have a friend send you the unzipped mod file through Discord and then go to your nw.app folder and then either put the mod file in the "js" folder or the "data" folder depending on the mod file. Some mod files may require the person to edit certain parts of the "js" script such as the "Always win coin flip" mod which is very annoying to try and do on Macbook so make sure to read all mod descriptions before downloading. Mods such as the "Infinite saves" mod can be put directly in the "data" folder. You'll get the option to replace a map in the "data" folder, click replace and boom, there 'ya go. (To find the "nw.app" folder check properties on Steam, then right click on "game", open that with "show contents" or something of that sort.)
(Make a back-up of the "nw.app", "data", and "js" folders. Also, make sure to change the duplicated folder to the same name or the mod files will not load properly.)
Have fun. : )
mac can unzip files. you should not need to have a friend unzip it:https://support.apple.com/en-ie/guide/mac-help/mchlp2528/mac
Only problem i've had is a jpeg not loading for the boss rush mod.
please join discord for tech support help. but that issue is usually only caused by not decrpyting your game. also you mean png right? I didnt think funger uses jpegs
This (even without any mods installed) seems to cause an error going into Downtown Ma'habre, it gets stuck trying to load "!salmon_snake_1 kopio.rpgmvp"
I've tried quite a few things to fix it but ultimately I'm not so sure what's done with it. I did update the NW runtimes or whatever, but the problem is only encountered when using the loader
It's a shame since I find this Loader really convenient and well-made otherwise. Regardless, thank you for making it and no worries if you can't find / make a fix ofc :)
hmmmmmmmmmmm…… so a few things could be happening here, its likely some issue with the encryption that rpgmaker uses. If you didn’t decrypt you game files try decrypting them. If you alraedy did decrypt them go to the github releases page and roll back your mod loader to this version: https://github.com/mattieFM/FearAndHungerModManager/releases/tag/v1.0.6/ unless you are using the multiplayer mod this one should work, just make sure to decrpyt your files (a easy to use decrypter is linked in the #readme of the discord (https://discord.gg/cxRfmDhS)
I tried using version 1.1.3 on Github to use the Quick Save mod for Termina, since the description said decryption shouldn't be needed to use it. But whenever I would try to start a new game or load a save I already had, a box that said "Loading..." would pop up and the game would just sit there on it no matter how long I waited.
So it might have been user error on my part, but some insight would be great.
I also got an error after first installing the mod loader and mods, with or without decrypting the files:
ERROR
Uncaught ReferenceError: Window_StatCompare is not defined at Line:12
But I was able to boot the game up after pressing F5 to reload the game with mods.
The Mod Loader causes extreme performance issues (40 fps in general and 8-15 in past Ma'habre, down from a general 140). Does anybody know why it could be? I only have the better saves and easy empty scrolls mods on.
you can go to the releases page and try an older version. The newer ones really only edited multiplayer, so it should be all good in terms of the mods your using.
I think this one would work, but if it doesn’t just try the other stable release before the latest, I think its like v1.0.9?
https://github.com/mattieFM/FearAndHungerModManager/releases/tag/v1.0.6
this is an issue that is somewhat resolved in the experimental releases as well, but those are unstable so I do not recommend using them given you don’t need their features.
Dunno if I broke my game somehow, but every save I have Le'garde is always dead pre-30 minutes and the cavedweller village is always dead. Is it a Fear and Hunger glitch? or is it specifically a mod-manager glitch?
very unlikely to by a bug associated with the mod manager. Most likely something weird with your saves.
Issue found! The game had left the debug tick for "LEGARDE DEAD" as On at all times, simply turning it off and getting to him fixed it. Likely an issue on my behalf
I'm curious, is there any setting in the debug of devtools to make you revert back from equipping the penance armor? And how do you turn off you being a marriage? It always shows in cutscenes that I'm a marriage
Not easily. you could use the dev menu and ctrl f around to toggle of the switch but you would also need to open your terminal and remove the armor, something close to “$gameParty.leader()._equips=[]” would void all eqiupment I think
Hi, I used the RPGModManagerIntaller.exe on my steam version of Fear & Hunger 2: TERMINA but I don't see the mod menu anywhere on the title page.
please take a look at the manual install instructions then: https://mattiefm.github.io/FearAndHungerModManager/tutorial-install.html
Very confusing guide. After downloading mods through the mod manager and replacing index file, pressing tab during the main menu doesn't show any mods nor was I even able to use any mods after launching the game
Sorry, I think you must’ve misunderstood something. You do not ever need to hit tab to see anything. The mods option will just be present on the main menu. If the guide is too difficult to follow I highly recommend using the installer instead (assuming you are on windows). Otherwise manual install is very simple. You just copy the folder with the mods into the folder of fear and hunger and click “replace matching files.”
Link to install guides with videos: https://mattiefm.github.io/FearAndHungerModManager/tutorial-install.html
Sorry, I dont quite know where to find the configs? Also, how do I use the easy scroll to Teach me things?
The Bitbucket link seems to be down, do you have the original file or are there any alternatives you would recommend?
Edit: I think I found a backup on youtube, use at your own risk https://drive.google.com/file/d/1jz1oiIi4OY3JBAFOvcaj7xVq0QbeKI1A/view
Hi, i don't know if this is normal but I ran it through a website called "Virus Total" and it detects a Trojan...
the project is fully open source. you can view the source code. most likely any false positive for a virus comes from the installer which is built from this folder: https://github.com/mattieFM/FearAndHungerModManager/tree/main/installer
oh, if you mean from the decrypter, idk. about the link posted, there is one in the discord that is safe.
Hey there! I seem to have a strange issue that I managed to narrow down (after hours of testing) to this mod/mod loader.
Basically anytime I would use an item from inventory or do any sort of action, it would immediately respawn all the loot in the area. So all the crates will be full again, herbs and mushrooms will respawn and so will quest items (doll, small dagger). Enemies will stay dead tho.
It also seems to be happening even with all the mods disabled. Tried on existing saves, even completely fresh new runs. Things will still keep respawning.
Any idea what could be causing this?
EDIT: Seems to be somewhat similar to heehoe's issues below? But for me it happens on new runs as well.
redownload the mod using the old stable download, I pushed a patch with a bug that I didn’t realize and then reverted the change https://github.com/mattieFM/FearAndHungerModManager/releases/tag/v1.0.6
Thank you! Can confirm that worked.
Apologies for reporting this again but it seems the bug has somehow returned completely at random for me?
I did a new playthrough, things disappeared/got looted as they should have... but then hour later when I did some backtracking and returned the same area, the lootables were again there, the doll was in the dungeon again etc.
What is strange, that this seems to happen only on things on the ground (doll, mushroom, herbs) and boxes. Shelves, chests and tables will remain empty.
What is even more strange, that areas that I just recently visited would still be empty. This would happen only to areas I haven't been to for a while.
Any idea what is happening? I am on 1.0.6 stable still.
I beleive this was resolved in later versions of the mod loader.
I had installed this and enabled the better saves mod and now my old pre-modded saves are behaving strangely. Stuff like the messages on the bottom of the screen repeating constantly, the Moonless recruitment message playing whenever I enter the area, open the menu, or get into fights (same effects for herbs regrowing), and the door from the prisons to the catacombs has re-locked. Would uninstalling fix this or is my saves just busted?
you can uninstall just fine
How do I uninstall?
sorry I might not understand your question, just delete the files that are not base game. Or revalidate steam files if you are on steam.
I think the problem may have been solved by the person above me's question, it sounds like the same kind of issues I'd been having.
Also: the decrypter linked has a broken link, so I used Petschko's decrypter.
Edit: used the 1.06 installer and am greeted with this image on startup.
edit2: enabled bbgirl and better saves and neither seem to take effect ingame
I could no longer use the dev tools, nothing comes up when i pressed P. is there any other way to fix it?
open keybinds, rebind CHEAT to whatever key you want, sometimes the keybinds break, jsut rebind them to fix.
Since this mod only changes the index.html file of the original game files, it is fully compatible with the English fix mod here: https://www.moddb.com/mods/fear-hunger-now-in-english
Take that with a grain of salt, this is a mod loader not a mod. The mod loader dynamically edits other files to attempt to ensure compatability with all mods, but sometimes there is a conflict between mods editing the same files, in which case the loader attempts to resolve the issue. But yup, for the most part it should work with all plugin based mods and most overhaul mods such as the one above.
no but you can open the dev console with f8 to acsess the console (once youve gone through the trouble of coping the dev version of nwjs from rpgmaker into your game and replacing conflicts and opening rpg_core.js and replacing && isTest() with ‘’ at roughtly line 8002)
then you can just use the console with the command $gameParty.leader().nickname = “your phobia here”
Hey! The Quicksave hotkeys dont seem to be working on my game :( i reinstalled the game and it worked again but after about an hour or two it stopped working......again. Any solutions other that keep reinstalling?
just rebind the keybind in the keybinds menu, sometimes they break. ill have it fixed soon so that they don’t break, but till then just make sure to bind the key bind in settings manually and it’ll work fine. (You should be able to just click the “defualt keybinds” button and that should also work.
F&H2. I used only BetterSaves and the Quicksave mod. I get this error every time I try to use hexen. Help me plz =(
ill take a look later today.
Okay! :з
I cannot reproduce this and its quite similar to an earlier issue on an old version, can you verify you have downloaded the latest version? https://github.com/mattieFM/FearAndHungerModManager/releases/tag/V1.2.5
I downloaded version from your link but nothing changed, I get this error again.
Perhaps there is something wrong with the game itself and I should reinstall it?
hmmmm, how are you opening the hexen, just from the tower save menu or…
I got this error with only BetterSaves and the Quicksave mod active, the game just reloaded with the mods when it popped up.
Just tested, even with only better saves active it still gave me the error.
Having only Quicksave active did not bring up the error.
odd, not sure why this happened, it should be fixed now, but its weird that it was only broken on your pc and worked for everyone else *shrugs. Go ahead and redownload and it shuold work for u
Thank you so much! If it happens again I'll assume I did something on my part that broke it.
rated 5 stars! 💯👍
<3 thanks
It works now, thank you! Also is there a way to play couch co-op with a friend? Aka two players playing on the same screen then
Yes, you can use the multiplayer mod once it is out, open two instances of the game on the same pc and then use something like universal split screen to handle input https://universalsplitscreen.github.io/.
i got the same issue here
should likely be fixed, try to redownload and let me know if it still occurs
I'm getting this every time I try to equip something. When I try to continue with F7 or esc, my items don't show up.
also when I go to craft something
Sorry about that, I published the wrong branch and didnt realise, the correct one should be up now. try re downloading and see if it works now,.
The errors persists and now my character is fully naked even after using the "optimize" option.
were you playing cahara? you probably had the joke mod “nakedCahara” active.
I have never been able to reproduce this issue locally so I can’t easily test it, the mods are running perfectly on the current build locally, try reinstalling the latest version see if that fixes it, if not I can try to hop in call and troubleshoot sometime
it sometimes decides to work and when it does I get other issues (thread above)
the issue with encryptionkey is related to not decrypting files properly, please ensure your followed all decryption steps
Side note, Ritual Circles don't function even after you've read the god's respective skin bible and interact with their respective circle. Not sure if its a mod error or not, but its still worth noting.
Should be fixed now
Hexen is fixed (yay), but ritual circle options still don't appear (even after you've used the respective skin bible, at the right circle...). Is this because I got the skin bible via spawning it in? They're all just marked with "????" as though they're undiscovered.
yes, this is becouse you spawned in the item, getting an item will not trigger the game switches that will enable them properly
Another bug that I'm coming across is that after saving it seems to list my "main" character in the save file as some other party member. Like I was playing Outlander and had a party with Legarde, saving the game listed my protagonist as Legarde for some reason. Later it changed to Girl as well. And now I found Enki and it changed to him.
Gameplay -wise I am still playing as Outlander and controlling him only during exploration, interactions etc. So it doesn't seem to be causing any major problems so far, except for that when I try to teach someone a new skill from the cheats menu, it only lets me teach it to the character who is listed as the protagonist in the save file. So I was trying to learn Phase Step but it would only let me teach it to Enki, which was useless because a party member knowing that spell doesn't let you use it in exploration as far as I can tell.
Yeah, thats a bit odd but not too bad, ill try to take a look over the weekend.
okay, so it looks like this can be fixed just by opening the normal skills menu and then selecting your main char and then reopening the devSkills menu, not ideal but it should be fine. as for the better saves mod it might be fixed now.
I just installed this for F&H1 and the mods are working but all of a sudden all the enemies became unkillable? Like I can take off their limbs including the head but that still doesn't kill them, and the torso remains invincible even after thousands of points of damage. I tested it on the torturer guy who is supposed to die in like 2 hits but now taking off his head doesn't kill him and his torso withstands all damage!
My bad. I know why that happened, it’ll be fixed my morning
okay, I think its fixed now.
Sweet, it works now! Thanks for the mod.
The cheat screen has this bug in F&H2 whenever you attempt to give yourself an item.
Bit busy this weekend with other things, ill try to take a look sometime in the next week.
should be fixed now.
So, this keeps popping up when i try to reload the mods. Its works fine with your mods and modloader. But if i add a couple extra mods, it always seems to do this. Is there any way to fix this while keeping said extra mods?
Ive noticed it happens with the mods:
TY_FnHMoreCoins
TY_DetailedEquip
Nevermind, it did this as well with the other mods
Okay so it should be mostly resolved now, I tested all of chechires mods and they appear to be working now with the mod loader go ahead and redownload. That said the specific error you screen shotted appears to be from using TY_DetailedEquip in the wrong version of the game, that mod only supports Termina.
Does it have any compability with Frapollo's bug fix?
Tried this fresh and follow the instructions accordingly, opened the game and... nothing.
I'd also assume that this wouldn't help with the bug issue with cutting Necromancy followers by cutting off their limbs and the game refusing to open the inventory menu.
Yes, it should be compatible with any overhaul mod. If nothing at all is happening when you load the game, the index.html was likely not properly set up. Can you verify that you replaced the index.html with mine?
I've done so, Frapollo's Bug Fix & Your mod seems to have issues to load together. Usually Frapollo requires to replace great part of www file with his www file
as for the index, I did, firstly I did when rebooting the files of F&H then applying your mod and opening the index, then opening the game. Which showed a prompt that the mods were enabled.
Tried again after enabling the mod-loader to use Frapollo's Bug Fix and I went back to 0.
I was able to load my mod loader on Frap’s bugfix mod with no issues as of 8/27/23.
TLDR: install fraps mod or any overhaul mod, and then replace the index.html with mine. I have tested this before and it works fine, and I also just tested it again now with the latest version of each.
If you are using an overhaul mod, you need to understand that overhaul mods by definition are not mods, they are distributions of the game, its basically just playing a different version of the game, this is why most overhaul mods are not compatible as they replace the majority of game files. If you want to run an overhual mod with mine or Cheshire’s modloader, you need to install the overhaul mod first and then install the modloader. As noted in the install instructions the only change that you need to make to the base game files for the modloader to work is that the index.html needs an import statement.
Overhaul mods will not make changes to the index.html ever because that is part of RPG maker’s dist not the game files. So it is very unlikly for an overhaul mod to edit it, but if you are concerned, in the install instructions I did explain that you can just paste an import statement into the existing index.html file if it needs to be protected for some reason.
I'm having some issues and just wondering if you could help me. I cannot seem to be able to open the dev menu, I thought at first that it was probably because of the quicksave mod but then realized that turning that off changed nothing, am I missing something?
Herm… sometimes the defualt keybinds mess up, if you open the keybinds menu in the game and then try to bind CHEAT to a new key that might resolve your issue. Let me know if that doesn’t work
It works great now, thank you so much! Also thank you for making this mod, I'm looking forward to being able to play it with my friend in the future too, you're doing some amazing work.
Doesn't work. On startup just says Failed to load: mods/commonLibs/_common/compatibility.js
Sorry about that, should be fixed now, I messed up the push of the latest release. Go ahead and redownload and your error should be fixed.
Hiya, looks like the issue is comming from the better saves mod, if you don’t want to use it you can just reload the game without mods and then not toggle it on. If you do want to use it, the bug should be patched and you can just go ahead and redownload
Works now, Thanks :)
awesome, glad to be of help.
This happen. What should I do?
Hrmm…. Thats a bit odd, i’ll take a look later tonight and see if I can reproduce the error.
In the meantime, just to make sure, did you copy the commonLibs folder into your mods folder?
Also you did un-encrypt the game, right?
Okay, I was able to reproduce the issue. The first step of installing any fear and hunger mods is to decompile/unencrypt the game files, this makes them editable and accessible. To do this you can use any RPGMaker MV decrypter, but I have linked one below that you can use.
https://bitbucket.org/SilicaAndPina/rpgmv-decryptor/downloads/
I have also updated the mod loader so that this shouldn’t be a problem, although you SHOULD decompile your game regardless as the mod loader assumes you have decompiled files, and will likely run into more errors if you don’t.
