Config and Issues

1. UCH installation path

   • If Ultimate Chicken Horse is not installed at the default steam location, the correct path to the installation needs to be set in GhostBuster.csproj.

   • You can edit the GhostBuster.csproj file with any Text editor (e.g. notepad, notepad++).

   • Replace the file path between <UCHfolder> and </UCHfolder> with your correct Ultimate Chicken Horse game folder.

     <PropertyGroup>
       <UCHfolder>C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Ultimate Chicken Horse\</UCHfolder>
     </PropertyGroup>
     

   • If the path is wrong you see the following errors during the build:

     ...
     warning MSB3245: Could not resolve this reference. Could not locate the assembly "Assembly-CSharp"
     warning MSB3245: Could not resolve this reference. Could not locate the assembly "UnityEngine"
     ...
     error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'UnityEngine' could not be found
     ...
     

2. Missing BepInEx

   • If the build errors only metion BepInEx and 0Harmony, check that BepInEx is installed in your game folder

   • Example Errors (no other MSB3245 warnings):

     warning MSB3245: Could not resolve this reference. Could not locate the assembly "BepInEx"
     warning MSB3245: Could not resolve this reference. Could not locate the assembly "0Harmony"
     ...
     error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'BepInEx' could not be found
     ...
     

   • correct folder structure:

     -> Ultimate Chicken Horse
            -> BepInEx
                 -> core
                       -> 0Harmony.dll
                       -> ...
            -> UltimateChickenHorse_Data
            -> doorstop_config.ini
            -> ...
            -> UltimateChickenHorse.exe
            -> ...
            -> winhttp.dll
