Others The Klub 17 + Hook5

Core Installation:

In short you just run the .exe and select the path you want it to go to. It is recommended that you install it in c:\ (the default position) and not in the program files folder as that may cause some complications. Below are some quick steps:

1. Launch "tk17v10.x.00_setup.exe". You will be presented with 3 options:

• Express: This is the standard full install to a specific location on your computer (it says "Recommended", but most prefer "Portable").
• Advanced: Allows you to pick & choose what features to install, adjust settings, and select a default language.
• Portable: (recommended) Also a full install with the flexibility to move your installation to another drive, even another computer, without reinstalling.

2. "Express" and "Advanced" installs will automatically add an icon to the desktop called "The Klub 17 - v10.x.x". If however you created a "Portable" install, open the folder you installed VX to and find "Play The Klub 17.exe" (you must ALWAYS run "Play the Klub.exe" FIRST following a "Portable" install so that it creates the required missing folders. From then on, you can use "TK17_Launcher.exe" (in the binaries folder) to start the program.

If you did an "Express" or "Portable" installation but wish the use TK17 in a language other than English, launch the "Options Manager" app and select the default language on the "Options" tab. You can also set the default language by creating a shortcut to "Binaries\TK17_Launcher.exe" and add a language "switch" to the end of the path (edit the shortcut's Properties.) The language options are: --en, --es, --de, --ru, --it, --jp (for English, Espanol, Deutch, Russian, Italian & Japanese). While "Portuguese" & "French" are both valid language options in the Options Manager", there are no switches for either.

Updates Installation:

The latest version of the game supported by the Klub Exile Community is Update P. While Update Q came out the community reported numerous bugs with that update. Klub Exile has since release KE Update 1 for Update Padding new features to VX.

Hook5 Installation:

Detailed Installation

• Unzip hook5_basic_version Hook5_Basic_3.07.2019.7z, open the readme inside and follow the instructions.
• Go into the Binaries folder and copy TK17_Launcher.exe, create a short-cut for quick access.
• Run TK17_Launcher.exe and make sure to change the settings so the game starts in DirectX mode and not OpenGL..
• Make sure you read up on Hook5 Guide.odt to check how Hook5 works.

Mods:

• I will not be sharing any mods as they just bloat the load times and everyone has their own preferences.
• You can get most mods from Klub Exile and other sources across the web.

Intro

As the original creators of The Klub 17, Team K17 has consistently worked hard to provide

the best gaming experience possible. Despite facing significant challenges in the past,

we have never lost sight of our goal of creating the best mod possible.

Some background

I made and released the first mega mod for the first engine of SV back in 2007.

In 2008, I joined a group of coders and we named ourselves Team K17.

After a few years of this, using the next generation of the engine, and name changes of the game,

we settled on the name "The Klub 17" for the game (TK17). The name uses the first letter of Team K17.

Around 2010, we joined a site called ModsGarden. This lasted for about 10 years, until the site was lost.

For a couple of years, we worked on the next version (V11), while giving support for VX.

In 2023, we started our own site, called Phoenix Garden, in honor of ModsGarden.

The Klub 17 V11

Now, Team K17 is proud to release The Klub 17 V11! Several years in the making,

this represents the accumulation of everything we worked for since 2007.

In V11, you can expect to see all the features that existed in VX, and more.

The engine is 64 bits, meaning that it will run faster on today's OS (64bits),

since it's not limited by the 4 Megs from the old 32 bits engine.

Keep in mind that this is still in Beta(4), and there are still some minor bugs to iron out.

More importantly, this replaces VX, not Hook5, since the latter is 32bits, and therefore not compatible with V11 64bits.

That said, V11 is the stepping stone, as we're planning on releasing Hook64 (code name) as a second phase.

This new graphical boost will be as good or better then Hook5, will run faster being 64bits,

and we will work hard to make it compatible with the existing H5 library. In short, the best of both worlds.

So we recommend that you keep your VX installation around while installing V11.

Then, gradually transfer your assets from VX to V11. Please report any bugs from V11 itself,

or caused by a specific addon. That way, you won't miss out on anything.

In conclusion, the release of V11 marks a significant milestone in that journey,

and we are honored to share it with the gaming community.

We hope you'll enjoy our latest creation and look forward to your feedback.
