Take your mods out of your B24 installation and delete it, completely. The install B25 and put your mods back in one at a time, if a mod suddenly stops it from working, post a message and a friendly forum member will fix it for you. There is nothing that has changed so drastically that it cannot be fixed between these builds, so you should be alright even if they don't work at first.

But if it says beside the mod "B23" is that compatible with B24 or B25? Probably a stupid question :p

Thanks for the help!

I believe that B23 mods are compatible with B24 but not all B24 mods work with B25 due to files being moved around.

Yeah the location of sprites and sounds have been standarized, making it easier in the long run for everyone.
Sounds are at faction.rte/Effects/Sounds.
Device sprites are at faction.rte/Devices/Sprites.

Just a question related to this Ive heard that some of the mods slow down b25 allot cause they use b24 outdated lua and such so I was also wondering if there was a way to tell this
Thanks

There are no Lua functions that will slow down B25 any more than it did B24. Yes, often scripts do cause slowdowns, but not moreso than they have ever done.
