Bark Mod for Gorilla Tag by KyleTheScientist – All Modules & Install

Bark is the mod KyleTheScientist built so you could stop juggling a dozen single-purpose movement mods. You summon a floating 3D panel in front of you and switch “modules” on and off: flying, grappling hooks, wall running, potions that change your size, and more. It only turns on in modded lobbies, which is why it became one of the go-to PC mods for private sessions.

How you open it

Join a modded lobby, then beat your chest like a gorilla, alternating hands four times (left-right-left-right or the reverse). The menu appears in front of you. To get rid of it, grab it and throw it away.

The modules

From the official README, grouped the way Kyle groups them:

Movement: Airplane (spread your arms and steer with your wrists), Bubble (networked, float around in a bubble), Fly (joysticks), Grappling Hooks (grab a gun off your hip holster), left/right Platforms, Speed Boost, Nail Gun (fire nails you can grip and climb), Rockets, Wall Run (floors, walls and ceilings), Zipline.

Physics: Low Gravity, No Collide (fall through objects, auto-enables platforms), No Slip, Potions (networked size change), Slippery Hands.

Teleportation: Checkpoint (holographic banana you warp back to), Pearl (throw it, land where it lands), Teleport (make a triangle with your thumbs and index fingers and look through it).

Multiplayer: Boxing (“punch mod”), Fireflies, Piggyback (the other player gives a thumbs-up to allow it, thumbs-down to end it), Telekinesis, X-Ray.

Misc: Join Bark Code, which drops you in a private lobby for Bark users.

Details

• Creator: KyleTheScientist (github.com/KyleTheScientist/Bark, GPL-3.0)
• Last release: v1.5.1, December 9, 2023. The GitHub repo is now archived, so no further official updates are coming.
• Platform: PC / Steam. It’s a BepInEx plugin.
• Needs: BepInEx and Utilla (tick Utilla in Monke Mod Manager).

Installing Bark

1. Install Monke Mod Manager and make sure Utilla is ticked.
2. Download the Bark DLL.
3. Put Bark-1.5.1.dll in Gorilla Tag/BepInEx/plugins.
4. If you also run Computer Interface, use the Bark-1.5.1.CI.dll build instead. Kyle ships a separate file for that.

On Quest?

The original Bark is PC-only. There’s a separate, unofficial port called “BARK ❷” on mod.io by Silvaz_, described as the “Bark menu by KyleTheScientist ported to Virtual Stump”. It runs as a Virtual Stump gamemode, so Quest players can try it, but it isn’t Kyle’s release.

Known issues

• Because the repo is archived and the last build is from late 2023, later Gorilla Tag updates may break some modules. If the menu won’t appear, check that you’re in a modded room first. Bark ignores normal lobbies on purpose.
• Two mods fighting over the grip button is common. That’s why Platforms has a separate toggle per hand.
