About this mod Author’s original text
Quality of Life
Thank to Pony for their QoL mod. This is simply a port of many of their feature into my modpack for hashing/profiles (alongside my own QoL)
Part of the Speedrun modpack.
What It Does
Quality of Life bundles convenience features that smooth out menu handling, cutscene flow, and keyboard-and-mouse use during speedrun attempts.
The module currently includes:
The following are direct ports from PonyQoL mod
- Always Show Location: Always displays the current location in the UI.
- Skip Death Cutscene: Skips the death cutscene and returns you to the main menu faster while still showing the death screen.
- Auto Skip Dialogue: Automatically skips dialogue prompts during gameplay.
- Skip Run End Cutscene: Skips the end-of-run cutscene and returns you to the main menu faster while still showing the victory screen.
- Spawn in Training Grounds: Spawns you in the Training Grounds instead of next to Frinos pool.
The following are my QoL additions
- KBM Escape Fix: Makes Escape work during boon and pom selection, Hex selection, Path of Stars, and death sequences.
- Rerolling Saves the Game: Saluting the Oath statue now triggers a game save.
- Arcana & Fear on Victory Screen: Displays Arcana and Fear on the victory screen.
Installation
Install via r2modman.
This module is usually installed as part of the full Speedrun modpack, where it appears in the shared Speedrun UI with the other speedrun-focused modules.
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- 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.
- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- 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. Hades II uses the game's built-in mod import — unzip the pack and place it where the readme says.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
