What a correct install looks like

Four screenshots of a working install, taken on a real machine rather than drawn. Every image on this page is shown resized to fit — click any of them to open the original at its full 1920 × 1080, where you can read the file sizes and dates for yourself. Use the arrow keys to move between them and Esc to come back.

#The game folder

Ten items. This is the folder that contains Liquidation.exe, and it is where BepInEx's four loose files have to live. If winhttp.dll is anywhere else, nothing loads.

The game folder, after everything is installed Ten items. If BepInEx is installed correctly this is exactly what you see: the BepInEx folder plus .doorstop_version, changelog.txt, doorstop_config.ini and winhttp.dll sitting alongside the game's own files.

The three items that came with the game are Liquidation_Data, MonoBleedingEdge and the executables. Everything else in that list arrived with BepInEx.

#Inside the BepInEx folder

Six items. Only core comes out of the zip; the other five are created by BepInEx on its first successful run.

Inside the BepInEx folder core ships with BepInEx. cache, config, patchers, plugins and LogOutput.log are created on the first run. If you do not see them, BepInEx has not started yet. Click to open the original — 1920×1080 PNG, 149 KB
ItemWhere it comes fromWhat it holds
coreThe BepInEx zipThe framework's own 18 files. Never edit these.
cacheFirst runAssembly information, so later launches start faster. Safe to delete; it rebuilds.
configFirst runOne .cfg per plugin, plus BepInEx's own. This is the folder you edit.
patchersFirst runStays empty. None of these three plugins use preloader patchers.
pluginsFirst runThe DLLs. This is where you put things.
LogOutput.logEvery runRewritten each launch. This is the file to attach when reporting a problem.

#The plugins folder

Three files, nothing else. Explorer rounds the sizes, which is a useful sanity check on a download: 216 KB, 284 KB and 214 KB.

The three plugin DLLs All three DLLs sitting flat in BepInEx\plugins. Explorer rounds the sizes to 216 KB, 284 KB and 214 KB, which matches the exact byte counts on the downloads page. Click to open the original — 1920×1080 PNG, 146 KB
FileShown asExact size
UngodlyLiquidationAI.dll 216 KB 220,672 bytes
UngodlyLiquidationGoreGFX.dll 284 KB 290,816 bytes
UngodlyLiquidationLeveling.dll 214 KB 219,136 bytes

If a size is noticeably different from these, the file is not the one this manual describes — either a different version, or an incomplete download. The downloads page has the checksums to confirm it properly.

#The config folder

Four files, all generated. You never create any of them by hand.

The config folder containing BepInEx.cfg and three com.stixsworldhd configuration files Full size · 1920×1080
The generated config files These four appear by themselves after the first launch with the plugins present. You never create them by hand. Their names are the plugin GUIDs, which is how you can tell at a glance that all three loaded. Click to open the original — 1920×1080 PNG, 149 KB

The three plugin config files are named after the plugin ids, which is why this folder is the quickest way to confirm all three loaded. Explorer truncates the names in the screenshot; in full they are:

BepInEx\config\
BepInEx.cfg
com.stixsworldhd.ungodlyliquidationai.cfg
com.stixsworldhd.ungodlyliquidationgoregfx.cfg
com.stixsworldhd.ungodlyliquidationleveling.cfg
If this is missingIt means
com.stixsworldhd.ungodlyliquidationai.cfg Ungodly Liquidation AI did not load. Check the DLL is in plugins and read LogOutput.log.
com.stixsworldhd.ungodlyliquidationgoregfx.cfg Ungodly Liquidation Gore & Graphics did not load. Check the DLL is in plugins and read LogOutput.log.
com.stixsworldhd.ungodlyliquidationleveling.cfg Ungodly Liquidation Leveling did not load. Check the DLL is in plugins and read LogOutput.log.
BepInEx.cfg BepInEx itself has never completed a run. Nothing else will work until that is fixed — see the BepInEx troubleshooting section.

#The five-second check

If you only verify one thing, verify this list. Anything that fails points straight at the section that fixes it.
