Installing Mods using BepInEx

This guide will help you install BepInEx [github.com] and tell you how to run mods using BepInEx.

While there are tutorials online explaining how to install BepInEx already, this guide will do it for Pogo3D specifically (for both Windows and Linux).

Downloading BepInEx

Go to the BepInEx releases tab[github.com] look for the version labeled "Latest"

Windows	Linux
and download either BepInEx_x64_VERSION [github.com] or BepInEx_x86_VERSION [github.com] *	and download BepInEx_x64_VERSION [github.com] **

* If you are unsure if you have a x64 or x86-based system, go to your search bar on Windows, type in "System Information" and hit enter. Under the item "System Type" see the value.
** You might be surprised that we are not downloading the unix version. To load the BepInEx loader on linux native systems, BepInEx requires the launch of a provided run_bepinex.sh file which is currently not known to be supported by the steam client. This means we are going to use Proton instead.

By default, the .zip file will be installed in your Downloads folder.

Adding BepInEx to Pogo3D's Game Directory

When in the Library tab in you steam client, right-click Pogo3D, hover over Manage, and click on Browse local files. The insides of the /pogo folder is Pogo3D's game directory.

Windows	Linux
The directory path should be C:\NAME\Steam\steamapps\common\Pogo3D\pogo	The directory path should be /home/NAME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Pogo3D/pogo

Move your downloaded .zip file into that game directory and click on Extract All..., extracting the contents to \pogo not \pogo\BepInEx_x64_5.4.22.0
After extracting, you can delete the .zip file.


Looking inside the folder BepInEx should now only contain the folder core.

Run Pogo3D Once

Windows	Linux
Run Pogo3D through your steam client and wait for it to boot up normally.	Run Pogo3D through your steam client and wait for it to boot up normally. Make sure to launch Pogo3D using Proton! To do this, right-click on Pogo3D in the steam client, click on Properties... , view the Compatibility tab and make sure Force the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool is ticked.

If there are no new folders besides the core folder then try the previous steps again.

You can now add your mods inside of the newly created plugins folder, either in form of a .dll file or as a folder, containing one or more .dll files.
