About this mod Author’s original text

🦑 KRAKEN v1.2.1 — Modded Lobby Edition

An old-school Xbox 360 Call of Duty-style mod menu for How to Fish.

It has a dark menu column with a blue header, a bright selection bar, ON/OFF tags, a scroll bar and a message feed in the bottom-left. It has menu sounds, a KRAKEN LOADED banner when you spawn, and chat announcements that everyone in the lobby can see. You scroll with the arrows, select with Space, go back with Backspace, and can keep walking around while it's open, just like the old modded lobbies.

A BepInEx 5 plugin for the Windows (Mono) version of How to Fish. Made for private lobbies with friends who are up for a modded game.

📥 Installation

  • Install BepInEx 5
  • Download BepInEx 5 for Windows x64 from the BepInEx releases page. You want BepInEx_win_x64_5.x.x.zip.
  • Open your game folder. In Steam, right-click How to Fish → Manage → Browse local files. It looks like:...\steamapps\common\How to Fish\How to Fish\
  • Extract the zip into that folder so winhttp.dll and the BepInEx folder sit next to How to Fish.exe.
  • Start the game once and close it. This creates the BepInEx\plugins folder.
  • Install KRAKEN
  • Download HowToFishCustomMenu.dll from the Releases page.
  • Put HowToFishCustomMenu.dll in:

How to Fish\BepInEx\plugins\

  • Start the game and load a world. You'll see the KRAKEN LOADED banner.
  • Press Insert (or LB + D-pad Up on a controller) to open the menu.

To check it loaded, open BepInEx\LogOutput.log. It should contain:

Loading [KRAKEN - Modded Lobby Edition 1.2.1]

Harmony: 12/12 hooks active

Uninstall

Delete BepInEx\plugins\HowToFishCustomMenu.dll. To remove BepInEx completely, also delete the BepInEx folder, winhttp.dll and doorstop_config.ini.

  • You can still walk around with the menu open. Jump, mouse look, shooting and item buttons are switched off while it's open so nothing fires by accident.

👑 Host vs client

How to Fish is host-authoritative, so a lot of the fun only works when you host the lobby.

  • [HOST] rows only work when you're the host. As a client they're greyed out, and pressing one tells you why.
  • Host actions use the game's own networking, so friends don't need the mod installed to see and feel them.
  • LOCAL VIEW rows only change what you see: body shape, boat colour and size, camera effects, fog and time of day.
  • The Sky Base, Water Car and Race Track are built in your own game. Only KRAKEN users see them; everyone else just sees you flying or gliding over the water.

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.
