using the GKAPI (Gatekeeper Modding API)

Please Backup your saves before use!

you can probably find them under C:\Users\\AppData\LocalLow\Gravity Lagoon\Gatekeeper\Saves

Using the Mod

To use the Mod or any Mods built with the API you have to do the following:

With r2modman (or other clients):

  • Install the mods within the launcher and launch the modded game

Without r2modman (or other clients):

The following instructions use the term `game root` which is the folder where the executable is located.

On Windows you probably find it under C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Gatekeeper

  • Back up your game files in your `game root`
  • Back up your save files, found in C:\Users\\AppData\LocalLow\Gravity Lagoon\Gatekeeper\Saves
  • Install BepInEx (the modloader) from here

(This is the tested version)

  • Extract the contents into the `game root`
  • Run the game executable to generate configuration files for the modloader
  • Download `GKAPI and ExampleMod`
  • Put them under your `game root`/BepInEx/plugins

(Instructions inspired by the BepInEx docs)

Current Content

The following categories are structured by the layout of the API

Achievements

  • simple achievement that handles all the items

Items

  • basic Item with Id `TEST` which is not unlocked by default
  • more complex Item called `Clover` which boosts some Proc chances (inspired by RoR2)
  • minimal Item called `Min` which is useless
  • triad Item called `TestTriad` which uses the TestItem, Rune of Rebound and Triumph

and has a custom Controller which does nothing

Difficulties

  • way harder difficulty than 200% called `Sentinel`

which aims to be around 500% (uses custom enemy templates)

Enemies

Templates

  • enemy spawn templates for the custom difficulty for each planet for loop 1, loop 2 and all after

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
  3. For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.

Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
