Installation & Uninstallation

LDTchara: Does this page really need to exist? But anyway, it's kind of useful so let's keep it.

Prerequisites

  • Hacknet with the Labyrinths DLC installed.
  • Pathfinder framework 5.3.4 or higher.
  • Ensure your extension folder (e.g. Extensions/YourExtension/) already exists and contains a basic extension.xml.

Installing KernelExtensions

  1. Download the latest KernelExtensions.dll from GitHub Releases.
  2. Place KernelExtensions.dll into the Plugins subfolder of your extension:
    Extensions/YourExtension/Plugins/KernelExtensions.dll
  3. (Optional but recommended) Create the following folders in your extension root for configuration files:
    • Trial/ – for trial configuration XMLs
    • VMATK/ – for VM attack configuration XMLs
    • Actions/ – for action files
  4. Launch Hacknet and load your extension. If you see a green [KernelExtensions] All is well ** SUCCESS!! in the console, the installation was successful.

Uninstalling KernelExtensions

  • If KernelExtensions is running as an extension plugin (the correct way), uninstalling the extension will automatically remove KernelExtensions. All Harmony patches will be revoked and the watermark will disappear.
  • If you need a complete manual removal, simply delete the Plugins/KernelExtensions.dll file and restart the game.
  • The mod does not support global plugin mode (i.e. it cannot be placed under BepInEx/plugins/). Please ensure it always stays inside an extension's Plugins directory.

FAQ

Q: The success message does not appear in the console.
A: Check that Pathfinder and BepInEx are correctly installed, and that KernelExtensions.dll is in the right location.

Q: There is no watermark on the main menu after entering the game.
A: Make sure KernelExtensions is loaded as part of an extension. If no extension is loaded, the watermark will not appear.

Q: How can I verify the loaded version?
A: The main menu watermark displays + KernelExtensions x.x.x, matching the DLL version.
