HELP:
CHAIN ATTACK or QUICK ITEM are NOT WORKING PROPERLY
Soft Reset with L1 + L2 + R1 + R2 + Start Select, and on the title screen hit "Reload Lua Engine".
This should fix them permanently, even if you fully close the game and mod.
Dying in 1 hit? Use Aero!
Aero reduces damage taken by 50%.
Weak Keyblade hits? Unequip Critical MP ability if Strength is low.
Critical MP stops you from critting, trading physical power for MP recovery.
Still weak? Upgrade your Accessories! Strength & Crit for phys, MP for mage.
Crit Chance & Crit Damage now appears in the Status menu.
High Crit, but Weak Finishers? Only Physical finishers can crit!
Non-Physical finishers: Ripple Slide, Stun Blitz, Black Hole, Zantetsu Prime
Not enough shortcuts? Press DPad Left or Right for Defense Shortcuts (Cure / Aero / Stop)!
This also updates Kingdom Key's ability in real-time, effectively giving it 2 stances.
HOW TO INSTALL:
Download: Required Tools
Download KH1 PC Patch Manager here: https://github.com/AntonioDePau/KHPCPatchManager/releases/tag/v1.2.0
PC Patch Manager Info: https://github.com/AntonioDePau/KHPCPatchManager
Download Lua Frontend here: https://github.com/TopazTK/LuaFrontend/releases/tag/v1.15
(The mod probably works with Lua Backend as well, but I have not personally tried Backend)
Update Your Game to 1.0.0.8 (Latest Version)
This mod will not work on any other version.
This mod will be incompatible with many other mods. Mix at your own risk.
Download: Required Files
- Go to the 'Files' tab at the top of this webpage. Download 'CriticalMixScripts.rar' and 'CriticalMixkh1pcpatch.rar'
- Extract 'CriticalMix.kh1pcpatch' to the same folder as your KHPCPatchManager.exe
Modding Your Game
- Extract 'CriticalMix.kh1pcpatch' into the same folder as KHPCPatchManager.exe from the Kh1 PC Patch Manager you downloaded earlier.
- MAKE SURE your resources folder contains .txt files, described in Step 2 of KH PC Patch Manager's install instructions.
Here is the download if yours are missing: https://github.com/AntonioDePau/KHPCPatchManager/raw/main/resources.zip
- Drag 'CriticalMix.kh1pcpatch' onto KHPCPatchManager.exe.
If a command window opens:
- Find the "Epic Games" folder on your computer, and the "KH_1.5_2.5' folder inside of it.
- In the KH_1.5_2.5 folder, open up the "Image" folder
- Inside the "Image" folder is a folder named "en". Drag and drop this "en" folder onto the black command window that was opened by KHPCPatchManager.exe, then hit enter.
It should start patching the game, and after a while say "Done!". If it doesn't start, or seems to get stuck, try hitting enter one more time.
Activating The Mod
Now that the required files have been patched in, you can activate the mod using Lua Frontend that you downloaded earlier.
- Extract the contents of LuaFrontend.v1.15.rar to anywhere you want.
- Open up "CriticalMixScripts.rar" you downloaded earlier, and extract all the files inside it into the "kh1gl" folder of Lua Frontend's "scripts" folder.
Installation Successful!
Now any time you want to play the mod, simply open up Lua Frontened and select "Start Engine" under the "Engine" tab in the top left. Then, open up KH1.5 and the mod will be active. (You may need to hit Reload in the Engine tab on the top left at the title screen to fully activate it)
- Do not sort your abilities on Sora, this can cause them to be deleted!
- Use L1 + L2 + R1 + R2 + Start to soft reset. If you use "Quit to title" the mod will become disabled.
- You must use the default confirmation control button X, not O.
- Only Has English Language
