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)
NetcodePatcher.dll $(TargetDir) deps/
xcopy /y /d "$(TargetDir)$(TargetName).dll" "$(GameDir)\BepInEx\plugins\RollingGiant\"
" />
</Target>
Also remove:
<ItemGroup>
<Folder Include="plugin\BepInEx\plugins\RollingGiant\" />
</ItemGroup>
Initial steps
- Open the .csproj
- Change
<GameDir> to where your game is installed
- 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
- 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\"
