Bloodpebble
Bloodpebble is a lightweight alternative to Bloodstone. It allows reloading plugins without restarting the game.
Differences from Bloodstone:
- Bloodpebble is only responsible for hot-reloading.
- Bloodstone provides functionality for other things. ergo Bloodpebble has a lower maintenance cost when VRising updates.
- Bloodpebble checks plugin dependencies to load them in the correct order.
- Bloodstone does not. Working on a library for other plugins to use? Choose Bloodpebble for your hot-reloading needs.
- Bloodpebble is not required as a dependency. Simply drop your plugins into the BloodpebblePlugins folder and you're good to go.
- Bloodstone can only reload plugins if they opt-in using its API. Broken bloodstone = broken dependent plugins.
Installation
- Install BepInEx.
- Extract Bloodpebble.dll into
(VRising folder)/BepInEx/plugins.
