Gimhook Mod Help

So gimhook - yeah that one - the mod for gimkit that includes things like zoom mods, click tp mods, ect.

I have been looking around and am wondering if you can get that on a chromebook. Mine isn’t a school managed chromebook and has access to Linux.

I just don’t know how to set it up… can anyone help?

By the way, I can’t access any discord…

Gimhook creator here. Do you have crostini (The crosvm-based linux environment inside of ChromeOS) enabled?

If you care about speed (on lower-end chromebooks crostini can be very slow if you’re not careful), the RW_LEGACY trick works really well. And as the above screenshot (which is real, by the way) states too, I personally do that trick. However, you’ll need a flash drive with a linux image on it (I use Debian and occasionally postmarketOS in my case) and some knowledge of GNU/Linux things. Gimhook 0.1.0-rc3 was actually built and published from a Chromebook in RW_LEGACY mode, no joke :sweat_smile:

However, crostini is by far the easiest way to do it, and works seamlessly with other ChromeOS apps. Admittedly I haven’t tested Gimhook on it, but the only issue I know of would be performance, and that depends on the chromebook and ChromeOS version.

I would probably do the easy way and 1st mentioned way (also because I don’t have a flash drive with the Linux image on it)

Except what @Hikiko mentioned in the discord photo was

Yeah one problem, I know how to open the terminal and everything but I don’t know how to use the terminal to open gimhook with the file…

I can just tell you the commands…

sudo apt install zstd git
wget https://codeberg.org/gimhook/gimhook/releases/download/0.1.0-rc3/gimhook-linux-x64.tar.zst
zstd -d gimhook-linux-x64.tar.zst
tar -xvf gimhook-linux-x64.tar

And then once you have it downloaded and extracted:

cd gimhook-linux-x64
./gimhook

(use ./gimhook --debug-mode if you want to enable chromium devtools)

Further Question, how are you able to download mods?

There is no one source for mods… at least not yet… There was an attempt to make a mod database at Enhanced Movement | Gimhook Wiki, but it was unofficial (I didn’t make it) and completely dead nowadays.

I would recommend reading gimhook/docs/sdk/index.md at master - gimhook/gimhook - Codeberg.org, as it contains all of the information you will need for making mods. It’s actually not that hard, especially since 0.1.0-rc3 has window.stores and window.platformerPhysics.

Don’t forget the gimhook discord is also a good place to get mods.
