Automate and simplify the merging process of Eildon HKS files
Elden Ring HKS Merger
✨ **ER-HKSMerger** is a modding tool specially designed for "Elden Circle", which can automate and simplify the tedious **HKS file merging process**. The tool is built on the powerful **Merge3 algorithm** and is particularly good at accurately locating and placing modifications across thousands of lines of HKS code.

- **Unzip** the tool folder
- **Place the folder** to a directory with full read and write permissions, such as `Users\`
⚙️ Configuration instructions
- Place all **HKS files** into the `inputs` folder
- Make sure each file is named in the format `c0000_.hks`, where `` only contains letters and numbers
- *Example*: `c0000_clever.hks`, `c0000_wings.hks`, `c0000_1.hks`
🎮 How to use
- Complete all steps in the **Configuration** section
- Run `ER-HKSMerger.exe`
- The merged HKS file will be generated in the `outputs` folder and named `c0000_merged.hks`

📝 IMPORTANT NOTE
- ✅ Passed the test in **v1.16**
- 🔧 This is not the mod itself, but the **tools that create the mod**
- 💻 Designed specifically for **Windows platform**
- 🎯 Currently only supports the HKS file of player character **c0000**
- 🔄 The tool will automatically upgrade old HKS files to the latest supported **version 17**
- ⚠️ You can merge any number of HKS files at one time, but as the number of files and the degree of differences increase, **the possibility of merge conflicts will also increase**. It is recommended to test the merged files, and manual adjustments may be required
- 🚫 Line 6 of the HKS file **must contain version information**, some modders will deliberately delete this metadata, in this case the tool cannot merge these files

Simply delete the tool folder to complete the uninstallation

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
