Hi,
my apologies in advance if my post is placed in the wrong subforum, but I thought it's best placed here.
I got Aquaria with one of the Humblebundle editions and enjoyed playing it. I also installed the "inofficial upgrade", thus my current version of Aquaria is 1.1.3+
I also downloaded several mods: Sacrifice, Labyrinth, Beauty of Aquaria, and Lost Treasures. After installing them according to the description in the wiki (http://aquariawiki.ryanballantyne.name/wiki/index.php/Install_a_Mod), and restarting Aquaria, only the standard mods are still available (i.e. Jukebox, Tutorial, Template, and Test Map).
The structure in my _mod folder looks like this for the example of the Labyrinth mod:
* _mod
** Labyrinth.xml
** Folder Labyrinth
*** particles
*** scripts
*** etc. ....
What do I have to do to use the mods?
-
Mac/Linux/Windows?
On windows, putting mods into the _mods folder is enough, i.e.
_mods/Labyrinth/Labyrinth.xml
_mods/Labyrinth/Labyrinth/...
On Mac/Linux, using the _mods folder in the installation directory has no effect!
On Mac, the mods need to be stored to /Users/<YOU>/Library/Application Support/Aquaria/_mods.
On Linux, the path is ~/.Aquaria/_mods.
Regarding some of the mods:
Sacrifice - Incompatible with inofficial update, unless you use my patched version (http://www.bit-blot.com/forum/index.php?topic=1031.msg32849#msg32849).
Beauty of Aquaria / Feral Beast -- incompatible too. Want me to make a compatible version? If yes, say so.
Lost Treasures -- whaaat? this was released? where?
EDIT: Oh my, the wiki's information is more than scarce. I'll rewrite that page in a bit...

Ah, thanks, I had put the files into the wrong place (on Mac, that is). Now it works! Just tried Beauty of Aquaria (runs without problems) and Labyrinth (runs without problems). I also downloaded your patch for Sacrifice and startet the mod and it looks quite alright to me. If I should tumble over glitches I'll give you a note.
Thanks again for your help and also for the great extra work on the aquaria mods!
