There is no option for Play Editor and Mod Loader

Double-clicking the game or clicking the play button should pop up a window to choose to play the game or start the editor in the latest version of the game, anyway. If it's not for some reason, you could try:

1. right click
   
2. click "properties"
   
3. "local files" tab
   
4. click "browse local files"
   
5. run "editor.exe"

You'll have to contact Nightdive if not even those work. I can't really help you with issues relating to Steam or the editor itself.

It is worth pointing out that once in the Editor, you have to open the Workshop Items tab and launch the mod from there.

Alternatively, you could always load the mod like you would with a GZDoom mod, i.e. adding -file Turok+.kpf to the game's launch options. Just make sure to put Turok+.kpf in your Turok - Dinosaur Hunter folder first! You can find the file in Steam's workshop folder.

how do i switch the ammo type ???

New version of Steam give the option of 'Launch Game Editor' and no 'Mod Loader'. Is 'Launch Game Editor' what I want? Clicking it doesn't seem to start anything, even though Steam says its running. Opening up Windows Task Manager shows 'editor.exe*32' is running, but nothing really happening.

Yes, the editor is what you want. If you can't get it to run for whatever reason, you could always just download the standalone version instead.

For future reference that would be:

steamapps >> workshop >> content >> 405820 >> 826029455 for the turok+.kpf

For Linux users:

Go to the game's directory (steamapps/common/Turok) and create a folder called "mods", then go to steamapps/workshop/content/405820. There you will see a folder for every mod you subscribed to in the workshop. In each of these folders you'll find a .kpf file. Copy all of those .kpf files to the "mods" folder you created earlier and voilà.

Link them rather than copying them and they'll stay up to date automatically, too. ;)

Immediate crash after the initial intro(s) on Steam Deck after replicating these steps exactly with the Linux version. This post is quite old so I'm reasonably certain that this tedious integration mitigation no longer applies, post Kex4. For now I can confirm with the latest game version, mods only function under Proton/Windows.

Yes, when I tested with the Linux version I was on the public-beta branch.

Unfortunately the linux version didn't get the kex 4 update.

Hah, figures! Too much work for Nightdive
