Installation

You can install the mods via the Project Launcher. You can use that tool to manage multiple instances of Project Arrhythmia and easily keep up to date with different mod updates. However, if you want to install it manually, follow the guide below. (Install guide based on Catalyst guide)

1. Verify you are on the Legacy branch.
   • ℹ️ As BetterLegacy is obviously made for the Legacy branch, it will not work on any other.
   • ℹ️ Go to your Steam library and right click Project Arrhythmia then click on Properties. Navigate to the Betas tab and change the Beta Participation dropdown to the Legacy branch.
2. Open the Project Arrhythmia application folder.
   • ℹ️ On your Steam library, right click on Project Arrhythmia and go to Manage > Browse local files
3. Download BepInEx for the Legacy branch.
   • ℹ️ Since you're only modding the Legacy branch, you only need BepInEx 5 x64.
4. Extract the contents of the BepInEx ZIP file to the Project Arrhythmia folder you opened earlier.
5. Launch Project Arrhythmia once and then close it.
6. In the Project Arrhythmia folder, go to BepInEx > plugins.
   • ℹ️ If you do not see the folder, then you haven't installed BepInEx properly. Try following the previous steps again, or ask for help in the Discord.
7. Download the current release of BetterLegacy and place it into the plugins folder.
8. In the Project Arrhythmia folder, go to Project Arrhythmia_Data > Plugins.
9. Make a backup of the steam_api64.dll file somewhere outside of the Project Arrhythmia folder, just in case.
10. Download Steamworks.NET, extract it somewhere.
11. Open the Windows-x64 folder and drag & drop the steam_api64.dll file to the recently opened Plugins folder to replace the original file.
    • ℹ️ This is to allow Legacy to better interact with Steam as normally it will not acknowledge Steam with the older file.
12. Finally, download the Beatmaps.zip file, extract it to the Project Arrhythmia folder.
13. You just installed BetterLegacy, awesome! Hope you have fun with the mods, whatever you end up doing. If something breaks or you have a general suggestion for the mod, feel free to open an issue or make a pull request if you want to help with modding.
