_______________-The Git Gud Patch-______________


Version 1.1
By arcade_portal32
for Hollow Knight 1.4.3.2x
for Voidheart Edition / Update
for when a certain boss fight or area finally
tells you to "Git Gud" a few too many times...
This is the patch for you!

This was tested on the Steam version of Hollow Knight
but should work on the non-drm version.

Install to usually...
(On Steam)
*Your Drive Letter*:\Program Files (x86)\*Your Steam Folder\steamapps\common\Hollow Knight\
(DRM-Free)
*Your Drive Letter*:\Program Files (x86)\Hollow Knight\


Your mileage may vary, if you use this I take no responsibility
if this patch/mod does anything too screwy with your Hollow Knight
install or your PC. You have been warned!


RECOMMENDED, MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR
HOLLOW KNIGHT DATA FOLDER BEFORE YOU INSTALL!!!!
Esp if you do not have Steam..
In case this patch does not like you for some reason or
you want to go back to Vanilla.

Any issues please post them here on the Nexus
and my Youtube Channel is fine as well :)




===================================================
-About-
===================================================
I created this patch mostly for my convenience so
I do not have to use a HEX Editor anymore to patch
the 21:9 aspect when I reinstall Hollow Knight
and not require the use of installing the
"ModInstaller" program.
(As running ModInstaller deletes the 21:9 patch every-time)

This was annoying for me lol...

So I created a patcher that would quickly add 3 total mods that add health
bars to all enemy & gives you a debug console to tell that boss to
"Gut Gud" when it has destroyed you 40 times and you want
to give yourself God Mode, Unlimited Health, or anything you many
need to traverse the road ahead! :)
And...
The patch I made for 21:9 is (Optional) but recommended
if you are running a 2560x1080p Monitor in 21:9 aspect mode.
(This removes the 16:9 borders and adds a better UltraWide View)



===================================================
-What this patch does-
===================================================


This patch adds 2 great mods,
the...
--------------------
(EnemyHPBar) Mod
by Gradow#9473/Hollow Niko#2609 & KDT#7539
--------------------
AND the...
--------------------
(Debug Screen) Mod
by Seanpr/The Embraced One & KDT
--------------------

The two mods use the Modding API 0.0.6 by Kerr1291 which is included..

(This means extra mods you may have that are compatible should install fine as well in the new "Mods" folder in your Hollow Knight Install)
Mods such as "Lightbringer" should work as long as you can get a-hold of the mod .DLL file and place into your Mods folder, including adding any extras.

--------------------

&

The installer ALSO includes a small patch for
2560x1080p (21:9) Monitors.

This patch I made that removes
the ugly (16:9) bars in replacement for a (21:9) aspect
that will fill the screen. It is not a perfect patch,
as bars will still exist on the top and bottom of the screen.
(Which will feel like your watching a Widescreen Movie, but
the bars are no longer huge)
However this looks much better then the (16:9) black bars.

(I made this optional but recommended for 2560x1080p 21:9 screens)
(It has NOT been tested on higher resolutions like 1440p)

This basically an alternative to ModInstaller if you want some modding basics,
and don't want the installer downloading files from random sources.
but ModInstaller is still useful in many cases as well however.
This is just an simple alternative and works in my case.


--------------------
===================================================
-Installer Minimum Requirements-
===================================================

The Installer/Patcher will run on just about any "Windows Based" PC pretty much
from the Windows XP era lol, so you should have no problems running this.
Total size is less then 40MB including the installer

Though Hollow Knight requires Windows 7 to run

==================
Current Issues
==================
21:9 Patch still has a small horizontal bar on top and bottom, I would like to remove this.
21:9 Patch does not move the text of the Debug mod so text is a little bit outside there boxes.
21:9 Patch does not add more drawing out-of bounds (This is not fixable).
That's it so far.
