HorseMod

A SoulCalibur VI training mod that visualises hitboxes, hurtboxes, and body volumes in real time, plus an in-game ImGui overlay with controls for camera, freeze-frame / slow-motion, and a custom reset-position override.

Features

• Hitbox / hurtbox / body overlay — per-player toggles, separate Foreground (always-on-top) and Persistent (trail) renderers.
• Free-fly camera (F7) — WASD + mouse / right-stick + triggers, with configurable move/look speed and FOV.
• Camera lock — freezes the battle camera in place by patching the engine's per-tick POV-commit instructions.
• Speed control — slow-motion / freeze-frame with a slider, plus single-frame step (F6).
• Reset-position override (Training) — capture both characters' current positions, then have the game's normal reset bind teleport them back to the captured pose instead of the round-spawn.
• Hide weapons / Hide characters — flicker-free visibility patches for capturing clean hitbox shots.
• In-game ImGui overlay — F2 (keyboard) or Back / Select (gamepad) toggles the overlay; D-pad / arrow-keys + L1/R1 to navigate.

Requirements

• SoulCalibur VI on Steam
• One of:
  • UE4SS installed manually in the game's Binaries/Win64 directory (manual install path), or
  • unreal-shimloader, which bundles UE4SS and is pulled in automatically when you install HorseMod via a Thunderstore mod manager.

Installation

Mod Manager (Thunderstore) — recommended

Install HorseMod from the SoulCalibur VI community page using a Thunderstore-compatible mod manager (e.g. r2modman, Thunderstore Mod Manager, or Gale). The manager will pull in unreal-shimloader as a dependency, which provides UE4SS and redirects the mod's files into the game at launch — no manual file copying required.

Manual

1. Install UE4SS into the game's Binaries/Win64 directory.

2. Extract the zip so that the HorseLab folder lands inside <Steam>/steamapps/common/SoulcaliburVI/SoulcaliburVI/Binaries/Win64/ue4ss/Mods/. The final layout should be:

   <game>/Binaries/Win64/ue4ss/Mods/HorseLab/
     ├── enabled.txt
     └── dlls/
         └── main.dll
   

   (Note: the Thunderstore zip ships its payload under shimloader/mod/HorseLab/ so unreal-shimloader can redirect it. If you're installing manually without shimloader, grab the GitHub release zip instead, or copy the contents of shimloader/mod/HorseLab/ from the Thunderstore zip into the path above.)

3. Launch SoulCalibur VI. The mod loads automatically when UE4SS starts.

4. Press F2 (keyboard) or Back / Select (gamepad) to open the overlay.

Quick start

• F2 — show / hide the overlay
• F5 — toggle the hitbox overlay
• F6 — single-frame step (auto-enables Freeze-frame on first press)
• F7 — toggle free-fly camera

Disabling the mod

Rename enabled.txt to enabled.txt.DISABLED (or delete it) inside the HorseLab folder. UE4SS will skip loading the mod on the next launch.

Credits

• Several engine-level features (visibility patches, speed control, VFX off) port the cheat-engine work originally done by @somberness in the SC6nepafu.CT table.
• Built on top of UE4SS, Dear ImGui, and PolyHook 2.
