UngodlyGFX

Part 3 of 3

Install UngodlyGFX v2.0.1

The easy part: one merged folder drops the plugin DLL and its fully documented config into place. Launch, press F10, and the panel is yours.

With the framework running, the plugin install is a single folder merge. You'll need SeaOfStars-UngodlyGFX-v2_0_1.rar from the downloads page.

  1. Open the plugin archive

    Inside SeaOfStars-UngodlyGFX-v2_0_1.rar is one folder, SeaOfStars-UngodlyGFX-v2_0_1, containing a ready-made BepInEx folder and the plugin's README.md:

    Inside the archive
    SeaOfStars-UngodlyGFX-v2_0_1\
├── BepInEx\
│   ├── config\com.stixsworldhd.seaofstars.ungodlygfx.cfg
│   └── plugins\SeaOfStars.UngodlyGFX.dll
└── README.md

  2. Merge the BepInEx folder into the game folder

    With the game closed, drag the BepInEx folder from inside SeaOfStars-UngodlyGFX-v2_0_1 into the game root (…\steamapps\common\Sea of Stars) — the same place you worked in Part 1. Windows will ask to merge it with the existing BepInEx folder: confirm the merge (and confirm replacing files if you're reinstalling). The mod's folder structure mirrors the game's on purpose, so everything falls into its correct slot in one motion.

    The README.md can stay in the archive — it's the offline copy of the documentation this site is built from. Keeping it somewhere is never a bad idea.

  3. Verify the two files landed

    The merge places exactly two files. Click either screenshot to confirm against the real thing:

    Windows Explorer showing SeaOfStars.UngodlyGFX.dll inside BepInEx\plugins
    BepInEx\plugins\SeaOfStars.UngodlyGFX.dll — the plugin itself, a single 87 KB DLL.
    Windows Explorer showing the UngodlyGFX config file alongside BepInEx.cfg inside BepInEx\config
    BepInEx\config\com.stixsworldhd.seaofstars.ungodlygfx.cfg — the pre-made, fully documented config, sitting next to the framework's own BepInEx.cfg from Part 2.

  4. Launch the game and press F10

    Boot the game — no regeneration wait this time — and tap F10 anywhere, even on the title screen. The panel opens on its own solid layer, the mouse cursor appears while it's open, and every change you make applies live. Welcome to the good place.

    The UngodlyGFX panel open on the Display tab over the Sea of Stars title screen
    First contact: the panel's Display tab. Drag the title bar to move it, scroll with the mouse wheel, and read the built-in explanation under every control.

If F10 does nothing

Ninety seconds of diagnosis: open BepInEx\LogOutput.log and look for the UngodlyGFX banner. No banner means BepInEx isn't loading the DLL — almost always the file isn't actually in BepInEx\plugins, or Part 1 went into the wrong folder. Banner but no panel usually means another app owns F10 — rebind the key from the config file. The full decision tree is in troubleshooting.

Updating the plugin later

Same merge, newer archive: replace SeaOfStars.UngodlyGFX.dll when asked. Your config — including panel position, theme and rebound hotkey — is preserved unless the release notes for that version say otherwise.

Installation complete. Next stop: a guided tour of every tab — the F10 panel, tab by tab.
