Adding More Platforms

Place platforms (.plat) files in the "BeatSaber\CustomPlatforms" folder. Your installed platforms will be available after a few seconds. A possible source for platforms is ModelSaber.

Creating New Platforms

There's a comprehensive guide at https://bsmg.wiki/models/platforms-guide.html written by Emma. The following are the basic steps:

1. Download the Unity project from Releases, unzip it.

2. Open the Unity project The project was created and tested in version 2019.3.15f1, other versions may not be supported.

3. Create an empty GameObject and attach a "Custom Platform" component to it. Fill out the fields for your name and the name of the platform. You can also toggle the visibility of default environment parts if you need to make room for your platform. Add an icon for your platform by importing an image, settings it to Sprite/UI in import settings, and dragging it into the icon field of your CustomPlatform

4. Create your custom platform as a child of this root object You can use most of the built-in Unity components, custom shaders and materials, custom meshes, animators, etc.

5. When you are finished, select the root object you attached the "Custom Platform" component to. In the inspector, click "Export". Navigate to your CustomPlatforms folder, and press save.

6. Share your custom platform with other players by uploading the Platforms' .plat file

Building

1. Clone the repository with git clone https://github.com/affederaffe/CustomPlatforms.git
2. Go to the ./CustomPlatforms/Plugin/CustomFloorPlugin direcory and create a CustomFloorPlugin.csproj.user file, see the example below
3. Open the solution file in the Plugins directory with e.g. VisualStudio or Jetbrains Rider and build the project

Example csproj.user File:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project ToolsVersion="Current" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003">
  <PropertyGroup>
    <BeatSaberDir>Full\Path\To\Beat Saber</BeatSaberDir>
  </PropertyGroup>
</Project>
