This is a mod for the 2022 roguelike video game Soulash created by Artur Smiarowski (available on Steam itch.io & gog.com) for Windows. You must own the game in order for this to be of any use to you.
More specifically it's a bit of a "vanity project" for Anna Vanston and some members of her chat community at https://www.twitch.tv/goombanna with a bunch of in-jokes & references that won't make much sense to outsiders. So if you're not part of that community it's probably not particularly interesting to you :)
If you just want to play the mod, you don't need a github account. It looks like a lot of steps, but that's because I'd rather give people too much information than not enough.
-
Buy and install Soulash (available on Steam itch.io & gog.com).
-
Identify your
../Soulash/installation directory.- If you installed via Steam, you can right-click the game in your library and then select Manage > Browse local files from the right-click menu to open the directory in Windows Explorer.
- If you installed via GoG Galaxy or offline installer, you should already know where this is as you explicitly defined the installation directory.
-
Open the
..\Soulash\data\mods\sub-directory (which contains..\core\and..\core_gfx\) in Windows Explorer and keep that open. -
Head to the Releases page for this repository and download the most .zip file for the most recent version.
-
Right-click the downloaded .zip file and extract it. By default all of the content will be contained within a
..\soulashgoonation-version\directory. Open it. -
Copy the entire
..\wrongtown_goombanistan\sub-directory from that directory into the..\Soulash\data\mods\sub-directory identified in step 3.- Your resulting directory should be
..\Soulash\data\mods\wrongtown_goombanistan\
- Your resulting directory should be
-
Open the
..\wrongtown_goombanistan\directory and run the1 - Backup core game files and replace.batscript.†- This makes a back-up copy of existing files within
..\core_gfx\and then copies new assets to replace them while you're using the mod. Without this, you won't be able to see your avatar in the game. - You can restore the original files at any time by running the
2 - Revert to backed up core game files.batscript.
- This makes a back-up copy of existing files within
-
When you next run Soulash, select Mods from the main menu and mark the checkbox for the Goombanistan mod active to match the standard Core and Core GFX options.
-
Close the Mods window by clicking the X on that window, then start a new game!
- Make sure you choose the Goomiest options for Races and Professions so you don't miss anything! Hint: Use the arrows ;)
- I recommend that you add the Command Allies ability from your Skill book (hotkey
v) to your action bar ASAP for this mod.!ban backseating
† "I don't trust you! I'm not running some weird script!". Fair enough, this is generally a good attitude! I was trying to make things easier for you, but you can do it manually.
Make a backup copy of ..\mods\core_gfx\assets\gfx\Untitled-1.png then copy ..\mods\wrongtown_goombanistan\assets\gfx\Untitled-1.png over the top of the old file.
