TROUBLESHOOTING Some people are seeing redscript compilation errors for all their mods and lots of logs that look like this: symbol with this name is already definedIf you're seeing this after installing redmod and cybercmd, it's because the redmod installation has misplaced some files generated by redscript. The easiest way to fix it is to remove everything from 'r6/cache' and verify game files.
Post updated for the 26/06/2023 hotfix Cybercmd is not affected by the patch and still works for the latest version of the game
Note that if you uninstall CET, cybercmd will stop working, because CET is a dependency.
FOR RED4EXT USERS: If you're installing this because of redscript, recent versions of RED4ext provide the same functionality as cybercmd. Therefore if you have RED4ext installed, you can entirely skip the cybercmd installation steps and continue using redscript/redmod without cybercmd. If you don't have RED4ext installed you still need to install cybercmd.
REPORTED ANYONE DUMB ENOUGH TO SAY THIS HAS NO VIRUS IS WRONG. HAD TO DO SCAN EARLIER OUT OF NOWHERE AFTER WEEEKS OF HAVIN THIS MOD my pc would start "randomly deactivating things when it shouldnt be" after scanning cause i was curious on why my pc was running at terrible speeds the scan popped this lil ol guy up with all red saying its a bad file a bunch of other stuff about Russia .... wtf is up with that????? idk i just know dont trust this file!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Are you new to modding? Windows Defender is notorious for false positives, especially with scripting tools like this mod. It doesn't have a virus. Keep your powder dry
ive been using this for years and never had that problem nexus themselves checks for viruses before anything can even be uploaded to this site but if you still dont trust very few mods need this anyway im pretty sure red4ext does the same thing
This has been out for a very long time and many have used it since including myself and there has been no trace of any virus, most likely a update with virus detection and this is just a false negative, I downloaded to check and no flags for me that being said I could be wrong, so go with your gut I guess.
The Nexus does not allow files to be uploaded/downloaded without first doing their own files checks for viruses/malware/etc. You will never get a dangerous file from the Nexus. Your virus scanner will always be a false positive if it ever flags any download from the Nexus.
The github release of this mod doesn't flag as a virus for me, could be worth a try instead. Link is in the download section on the mod page or here: https://github.com/jac3km4/cybercmd/releases/tag/v0.0.12
Something has changed, even though the upload date hasn't. I have the file from a few weeks ago on my other PC and its 881kb, the one on the site now is 901kb. I would be wary.
Got the hacktool warning from this download too. First time ever having this problem, I'm gonna pass. I understand the author says it's safe, but until this is analyzed by a malware professional, I'm gonna pass. it's not worth the risk to my main rig, and my network potentially. I'm not willing to risk ending up with a locked up computer/server where all my family picture are, just for a game mod. sorry.
I got this today from Defender, though it identified it as HackTool:AndroidOS/ZkarletFlash on the zip file I got from Nexus Mods, but not on anything from the game folder where the mods were extracted to. Thing is I haven't played this game in almost a year, the download date for this zip is June 2024, so it seems a bit strange that Defender just now flagged it. I would say there's a decent chance this is false positive because it's only flagging the downloaded zip file, and not the files that were extracted into the steam game folder.
I got some kind of warning for that for a fan controller software too that I never had an issue with. I think defend is just being hyper sensitive as of the last update or such and is considering almost any kind of injecting of code as malignant even if it's benign.
Adding my 2 cents to say if you have this mod installed, backup the asi file and never delete it.
I tried to do a fresh install of my game and mods last night to troubleshoot some fps issues and hit a wall when it came to this mod (which is required by the weather switcher mod I use)
Windows /Chrome will NOT allow me to download and/or extract the file, claiming it’s a virus (because it’s an .asi file).
Never had any issues before with this but I had to download on a Mac, extract the file, move it to a usb and then copy to my game directory.
anyone with more knowledge on whether this mod is a virus or not (it isn’t according to nexusmods) want to weigh in please reply. Thanks.
Wooo, LOL I still have this installed (since it was initially released) and...
...it's still working fine for me, with the new game Patch 2.13 ! o7 :D ♥ EDIT: Also still works fine for me on Patch 2.2 (Steam, Manual installs).
Yes yes, I know, some/a lot of you will say it's no longer needed, since RED4ext also does the same thing that cybercmd does, but I'll still leave it in, cuz I'm a rebel, and I like to live dangerously *diabolical cackle ensues* xP, and if it ain't borked then I don't need to fix remove it, psha! xP xD x)
Anyhooooo, again THANK YOU for this mod, jac3km4! And thank you for its service throughout the years! Still appreciatin' ya my choomba! :D ♥
I haven't (re)installed this mod (cybercmd) as of yet, since updating my game (Steam) with the Patch 2.2 update.
This time around, I'm only re-installing mods I previously used (with Patch 2.13), if something really annoys me with the vanilla game, because I'm trying to stick as close to vanilla as possible, with the New Game playthrough I just started (for Patch 2.2), to see if I can notice the changes/improvements/newly-added-things that came with 2.2, hehe.
So far, I haven't re-installed any mods that list cybercmd as a dependency (aka Requirement), but I most likely will sooner or later (most likely sooner, lol), and when I do I will definitely report back here. :)
Update: I just reinstalled a mod (Use Your Cybernetic Eyes to Aim 2.1) that lists cybercmd as a Requirement, and cybercmd is working fine for me on Patch 2.2 (Steam, Manual installs).
HOWEVER...I uninstalled cybercmd, and tried using Use Your Cybernetic Eyes to Aim 2.1without cybercmd installed, and that mod is working perfectly fine---I DO however, also have RED4ext installed, which is a known alternative to cybercmd. So if you are having problems with cybercmd not working for you, try using RED4ext instead, as they both have similar functionalities.
EDIT: So I just tested this again, with the game Patch 2.21 update (Steam), and it's working fine for me. Though admittedly, I've decided to uninstall it since I already have RED4ext installed, and that does the same thing cybercmd does, and so far all my other mods that list cybercmd as a Requirement are working fine without cybercmd actually being installed (due to having RED4ext installed). THANK YOU for all your years of hella preem service, cybercmd, you shall be honored and remembered! o7 ♥ :)
I have the same problem. If you go look in the directory, you'll see it's just empty folders, though the mod does show in Vortex. I'm still trying to figure out how to get around this.
All of these flags are false-positives. The Nexus does not publish/release mods without putting them through virus testing first. Certain mods (such as .ASI files) are sometimes flagged as a virus, since they are essentially altering files on your computer, which is a common behavior of viruses, but rest assure, these are just false-positives and can be safely ignored.

Is this file still safe to download?
You will never get a dangerous file from the Nexus.
Your virus scanner will always be a false positive if it ever flags any download from the Nexus.
