Better Than Adventure Installation

BTA doesn't have a proper loader around it that supports class patching. So, Ears for BTA comes with a Java agent.

Ears for BTA is not a jar mod! If you install it as one, the game will crash with a message pointing you here. (The reason it is not a jar mod is to ensure it stays compatible with future updates to BTA without changes from me, without accidentally clobbering new changes to BTA.)

You'll need to specify the Java agent as a JVM argument. The simplest installation possible follows:

  • Download ears-bta-VERSION.jar from GitHub releases into your BTA game directory. The one with "saves" and such.
  • Rename it to "ears.jar".
  • Add -javaagent:ears.jar to your JVM arguments.

The directory should look something like this:

That's it; you should see "Hello from Ears!" as the very first line in your game output if it worked.
