Tempest is a content mod for Risk of Rain 2. Specifics are still under heavy development and not set in stone!
A lot can be found on the great wiki resource. To start developing for this mod, do the following:
- Install Visual Studio 2019 with C# workload (NOTE: You may need to install .NET SDK 2.0 explicitly. For me the workload was enough).
- Setup RoR2 to support mods.
NOTE: Using R2ModMan may suffice, but the following are the bare minimum that is required
a. Install BepInEx.
b. Install R2API.
c. Install HookGenPatcher.The assemblies from these libraries are included with the project, so if you manually install them, be sure to update the assemblies in
Tempest/Libs/Mods
. Same goes for the Managed assemblies (which should be stripped, they contain game code and can be found in your RoR2 installation). - Build the project in Visual Studio.
The solution copies binaries to the RoR2 installation after building. When you build the mod, a ror2.txt file is created in the Resources folder. Put your RoR2 installation path in that file. An example of such a path is the following:
D:\Games\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Risk of Rain 2
