I want to mod BBTAG so I can use team Kanji.

There's a .bat that should allow this, but I'm not sure which file I need to use it with :<

Usually the mod tells you itself. Is that not the case here?

No, unfortunately it's a mod I got from the BBTAG modding Discord. They're all really experienced to the point they're adding characters from other games, whereas I... I struggled to make it so I can Rick Roll my friends IRL. But yeah, it was from their resources that had stuff mainly for encrypting and decrypting files. No instructions, so I had to ask a bunch of questions. I asked several times how to work it there but didn't get an answer, and don't want to risk being obnoxious :<

OK, I see.

Try going into the same folder the game's .exe is in. That's where I'd start

Would you happen to see anything here that could possibly be opened by the batch file? My first thought was to drag the game itself onto it but that just says "catastrophic failure" lol

Don't you just run the bat file? Double click on it and let it do its thing? >_>

If not, then maybe assets. It changes the graphics of the game to include Kanji instead of another character, right?

HOW TO INSTALL
  1. BBTAG_IM.zip
  2. Put dinput8.dll and settings.ini into the game's folder (where BBTAG.exe is located)
  3. Adjust the values in settings.ini as desired

No, the .bat needs an executable file to run. I kinda figured the obvious solution would be to drag BBTAG.exe onto the .bat, but that gives me this error

These are instructions for the improvement mod, which I already have installed.

Execute the .bat File:
  • Open the .bat file in a text editor to see if it provides any clues

A .bat file is just a runable txt file, so open it in notepad.
My guess is that it want the whole zip-file extracted in the game folder, and running the .bat file will enable the mod.

Still no luck :(

Although... what's a ghm file? There's something called Patches.ghm in the modding tools and assume it might have some relevance.
