I have a custom map I made, I haven't released it, but I wanted to test it through the mod launcher. Specifically for this map, it always gives me an error:
ERR: Could not load mod init configuration file.
Any help? I already looked at the main init file and didn't see anything wrong. I thought I saw this in the troubleshooting guide sometime earlier but I can't find it. It was related to the "steam client must be running to be able to publish" issue I think, but again I can't find it.
Go to Documents/My Games/SOMA/ and find your log from there. There should be a folder which matches your MainSaveGameFolder or something similar from the main_init.cfg you should have. It may have a hint if there is an incorrect directory.
Assuming your main_init.cfg is included with your mod, is it in a config folder? If so - have you checked your resources.cfg for a config folder entry?
Also - moving to the Development Tech Support, as this is an issue with your mod and not SOMA. Don't worry, I'm confused by it sometimes also~

Hmm... There is no folder for my map there, I guess that's the problem. How would I get it back then? It must've beem there before.
Could you post your main_init.cfg? And make sure your entry.hpc points to it correctly in your mod. Look at the example entry.hpc code snippet on this page under the Setting Up a Standalone Entry.
So here's my main init file: (unless you wanted me to put it as an attachment)
<ConfigFiles
Resources = "resources.cfg"
Materials = "materials.cfg"
SoundData = "sounddata.cfg"
Game = "config/game.cfg"
DefaultUserSettings = "config/default_user_settings.cfg"
DefaultUserKeys = "config/default_user_keys.cfg"
DefaultBaseLanguage = "base_english.lang"
DefaultGameLanguage = "english.lang"
Modules = "config/Modules.cfg"
EntityTypes = "config/EntityTypes.cfg"
Effects = "config/Effects.cfg"
/>
<Directories
MainSaveFolder = "survival"
BaseLanguageFolder = "config/"
GameLanguageFolder = "config/lang_main/"
/>
<Variables
GameName = "SOMA: Survival"
/>
<MainMenu
File="main_menu.hpm"
Folder="maps/"
Pos=""
/>
<StartMap
File = "thingy.hpm"
Folder = "maps/"
Pos = "PlayerStartArea_1"
"
/>

What happens when you remove the quotation mark between Pos and /> ? Since that shouldn't be there.

Wonder how that got there, I don't believe I typed that in anytime before. Oh well, you just solved the issue, thanks.
No problem!
Glad I could help!
