Rolling Giant

Note: This is a build created for v81. Reach outs have been made to both modders for the original project and the v73 project. I am happy to deprecate my project/continue the project as/if needed.

Building the project

Removing the local plugin package step

Remove the PreBuild step in the csproj, and replace the PostBuild step with

<Target Name="PostBuild" AfterTargets="PostBuildEvent">
  <Exec Command="cd $(NetcodePatcherDir)&#xA;NetcodePatcher.dll $(TargetDir) deps/&#xA;xcopy /y /d &quot;$(TargetDir)$(TargetName).dll&quot; &quot;$(GameDir)\BepInEx\plugins\RollingGiant\&quot;&#xA;" />
</Target>

Also remove:

<ItemGroup>
  <Folder Include="plugin\BepInEx\plugins\RollingGiant\" />
</ItemGroup>

Initial steps

1. Open the .csproj
2. Change <GameDir> to where your game is installed
3. Change <NetcodePatcherDir> to where you have the Unity Netcode Patcher extracted

Can also remove the enter netcode patcher step if you want to use the nuget version instead, but I haven't updated to that yet, so I haven't looked into it

1. Build

When built, it will patch the dll and then copy the dll to the game's plugin folder.

If you don't want the auto-copying to the game directory, then remove this from the PostBuild step:

xcopy /y /d "$(TargetDir)$(TargetName).dll" "$(GameDir)\BepInEx\plugins\RollingGiant\"
