This page compiles the old pages of how to install Flashcord into one singular page

The Flashcord Installer replaced all of those pages, but is technically slower than this fat page. If you want a more straight forward tutorial, you've clicked on the right place.

⬇️ Installing Flashcord

Before you can Install Flashcord, make sure to decide which branch of Flashcord you'd like to use. This choice is really important as you'll choose between stability or new features. Flashcord has two branches:

🦺 Stable (STB), which as the name implies, is a more stable and tested version of Flashcord, updates are frequent on a weekly basis. Stable is perfect for those who want a "it just works" theme. Please note that Stable is usually insanely out of date. The specified variables or modules in the wiki may not exist or have changed name.

πŸ”₯ Unstable (SID), is exactly what it sounds like. New code gets pushed every night, broken or not. Certain features can get added and removed a version later. SID is truly for the bleeding edge fans. ⚠️ Warning: Replugged will automatically update Flashcord SID when you open Discord.

πŸ”Œ Replugged Instructions

🦺 Installing Flashcord Stable (STB) (@Import Method)

Notice: Stable is broken beyond recognition and is insanely out of date. I'm not planning to update it in a while due to how SID is being updated so slowly. Please use SID.

  • Open your User Settings
  • Click on the "QuickCSS" Tab
  • Paste the following line of code at the very top of your QuickCSS
@import url("https://sirio-network.com/flashcord/stable.css");

πŸ”₯ Installing Flashcord Unstable (SID) (@Import Method)

  • Open your User Settings
  • Click on the "QuickCSS" Tab
  • Paste the following line of code at the very top of your QuickCSS
@import url("https://sirio-network.com/flashcord/sid.css");
  • Click the "Apply Changes" button. Congratulations, you have installed Flashcord SID!

πŸ’ͺ Force Updating Flashcord for the @Import Method

Sometimes when something horribly goes wrong after an update, a Hotfix (HF) update will happen, however Replugged doesn't always update immediately Flashcord in those cases.

  • Open your User Settings
  • Click on the "QuickCSS" Tab
  • Open Discord's DevTools by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + I
  • Navigate to the "Network" Tab
  • Make sure that the "Disable cache" checkbox is blue
  • Click the "Apply Changes" button.

Flashcord SID should now be updated no matter what. If you are still unable to update, please follow the announcements in the SGN Discord Server and or ask for support.

πŸ’‰ Required Plugins

Thanks to the help of certain developers, Flashcord can work much better thanks to them! The following plugins are required:

This plugin is an absolute necessity if you're considering to use Advanced Themes such as Iridescent Mode Light/Dark or Transparent Mode.

This plugin is required because otherwise, zooming into images by hovering on them will be extremely blurry, having this plugin prevents you from thus having to take a trip back to your web browser to see small images.

If you do not have Discord Nitro, this plugin is required as certain Flashcord themes such as the Custom Background Image Theme is actually set to a Discord Nitro Theme internally (which helps me to not make it ultra-jank to activate it), this plugin lets you activate those themes without Nitro.

πŸ’‰ Recommended Plugins

These plugins are not really vital, but Flashcord was built with these in mind.

The 4Chan Chat Effect works better with this plugin as it automatically enables itself if a message contains Green Text.
