Installation

Choose one of the following methods to install the mod:

Method 1: Steam Workshop (Recommended)

1. Subscribe to LinkuraMod / 莲之空Mod on the Steam Workshop.
2. Subscribe to the required dependency RitsuLib on the Steam Workshop.
3. (Optional) Subscribe to LinkuraMod - Skins Pack on the Steam Workshop to get alternate skins for Hinoshita Kaho.
4. Launch Slay the Spire 2 and enable the mods.
5. In-game, you can switch Kaho's skins in the LinkuraMod Settings page from RitsuLib's Mod settings menu.

Method 2: Manual Installation

1. Download the latest release from the Releases page.
2. Download the recommended version of RitsuLib.
3. Place the mod files into your STS2 mods folder:

Skins Installation (Manual)

The mod only comes with the default skin for Kaho. To get the alternate skins manually, you need to download and put the skin files in the following directory:

<STS2 install dir>/mods/LinkuraMod/skins/

So the directory structure should look like this:

<LinkuraMod dir>
├── LinkuraMod.dll
├── mod_manifest.json
├── LinkuraMod.pck
├── skins/
│   ├── ingame_chara_sd_spine_1021_001
│   │   ├── spine_metadata.rurimegu
│   │   ├── stage_idol_model_1021_001.atlas
│   │   ├── stage_idol_model_1021_001.png
│   │   └── stage_idol_model_1021_001_json.skel
│   ├── ingame_chara_sd_spine_1021_002
│   │   └── ...
│   └── ...
└── ...
