LBoL Plugin.zip is BepInEx plugin template for Visual Studio. Includes assembly publicizer. Adjust <GameFolder> property in .csproj file.

Visual Studio templates should probably be placed at <User>/Documents/Visual Studio 20xx/Templates/ProjectTemplates

Tool superlist

Injectors:

  • BePinEx. Code injector and plugin loader providing a starting point for any mod.

Code patchers

  • Harmony. The essential modding library allowing to manipulate source code at runtime. While technically BePinEx is using custom fork of Harmony, HarmonyX, the regular Harmony documentation still applies. It's both a great beginner's guide and explanation of more advanced features.

Development plugins:

  • Unity Explorer. GUI for exploring scene hierarchy, inspecting game objects, C# REPL console and more. Very powerful.
  • BePinEx debug tools. Collection of dev tools. DemystifyExceptions and Scriptengine are particularly useful ones. Although, scriptengine requires a slight modification to work with LBoL 100% correctly
  • Sharplab. Not a plugin but a tool to check how C# transforms to Intermediary Language (advanced, don't worry about it if you're starting out).

Decompilation:

  • dnSpyEx. Probably the most important modding tool. Super convenient source code explorer and debugger.
  • Patched mono. Patched mono for LBoL for attaching dnSpyEx debugger. Enables many debugging features during runtime. Apparently, the exposed 127.0.0.1:55555 port can be used to connect other debuggers, such as Ryder, as well. More info on that.
  • ILSpy. The OG C# decompiler. Not as shiny as dnSpy but sometimes offers better decompiled code quality.

Asset extraction:

  • AssetRipper. Actively developed and probably one of the best asset extractors out there
  • AssetStudio. No longer maintained and not as reliable as AssetRipper but a nicer gui for quick for exploring/extraction.

Performance profilers:

  • <to be added> Although the game isn't very performance critical so profiling your mod might be an overkill.
