GitGud Harmony

🎮 **A fun sound effect module tailor-made for "Hollow Knight: Silk Song"**

🎵 Core Functions

  • **Smart Sound Effect Trigger**: Automatically play custom sound effects when receiving damage or dying
  • **Dual-track sound effect system**: independent damage sound effects and death sound effects settings
  • **Movie-level experience**: Beautiful splash screen confirms the loading status of sound effects
  • **Convenient Test**: Use hotkeys in the main menu to test the sound effects at any time

🚀 Quick Start Guide

Step 1: Install the plug-in

Make sure you have **BepInEx 5 with Config Manager** installed, then place the **GitGudHarmonyPlugin.dll** file into the `BepInEx/plugins` folder of your game directory.

Step 2: Run the game for the first time

After starting the game, the module will automatically create the `BepInEx/GitGudCustom` folder, which contains two subfolders:

  • `PlayOnDamage` - stores damage sound effects
  • `PlayOnDeath` - stores death sound effects

Step 3: Add custom sound effects

Put your favorite audio files (supports .mp3, .wav, .ogg, etc. formats) into the corresponding folder:

  • Injury sound effects → `PlayOnDamage` folder
  • Death sound effects → `PlayOnDeath` folder

💡 **Tips**: If the custom folder is empty, the module will automatically use the classic "GitGud" sound effect as a backup, no need to worry about settings!

Step 4: Restart and test

Launch the game again and you will see a new cinematic splash screen to confirm whether the custom sound effects are loaded successfully.

In the main menu, use the hotkeys to test the sound at any time:

  • **S+1** - Test injury sound effects
  • **S+2** - Test death sound effects

⚙️ Advanced configuration

Module behavior can be fine-tuned through the configuration file `BepInEx/config/com.toohiggh.gitgud.cfg`:

**Main options include:**

  • **ShowCinematicIntro**: Switch startup screen
  • **PlayOnDamage / PlayOnDeath**: enable/disable injury and death sound effects respectively
  • **VolumePercent**: Volume adjustment (0-100)
  • **DamageCooldown**: Set the damage cooldown time (seconds) to prevent the sound effect from playing repeatedly when you are continuously injured.

🎯 **Pro Tip**: If you have **BepInEx Configuration Manager** installed, press **F1** in-game to adjust all settings in real time!

🌟 **Make every injury fun and make every death worth looking forward to! **

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. 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.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. 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.
