ResoniteSampleMod

A Mod for Resonite that just adds a "Hello World!" log entry whenever you click a button.

About this repository

This repository is a template everyone can copy from. It includes automatic github workflows to test your code (Continuous Integration including linting and style checking) and a manually triggered release workflow to publish a new version. Mods created using this template support two different mod loaders: ResoniteModLoader and MonkeyLoader

Using this Template

1. Use this repository as a template (green button Use this template/Create a new repository on the top right)
2. Inside the new repository go to the tab Actions and run the workflow Init Template (You can specify user/mod names that differ from the repository.)
3. After the action is finished, follow the instructions in the newly created Issue Setup repository to support full CI/CD (most likely #1 when reading this in your repository)
4. On your local machine make sure that the environment variables ResonitePath (required) and ResoniteCache (recommended) are set and that you have at least one mod loader installed.
5. ???
6. Happy coding!

Additional Notes:

• This template uses a shared project to reduce redundancies between the different mod loader variants. (Using solution internal dependencies would cause multiple dll files to be output. To reduce the inconvenience for ResoniteModLoader users I chose this hacky workaround.) Only open one of those projects at a time to avoid bugs with Visual Studio! If you open multiple variants at a time you may encounter warning messages and cannot save changes to the csproj files! Restarting Visual Studio makes sure that the error messages go away.
• You can freely add dependencies to your project. Shared dependencies should be added to the project SampleMod.csproj (without suffix!) to keep dependencies of the variants in sync.
• There are unit tests using the mod loader independent project.
• You can start Resonite directly from Visual Studio. The dll files/NuGet packages will be directly copied into the Resonite install. If you add additional files you have to adjust the scripts in the files SampleModMonkey.csproj and SampleModRML.csproj. The file manifest-template.json and the step Build of workflow Build & Test (ResoniteModLoader) need to be adjusted for proper release automation, too. (TODO: hints for NuGet-based MonkeyLoader mods)

Publishing a new Mod Version

1. Increment the <Version> number within the files SampleMod.csproj and Mod.RML/SampleModRML.cs
2. Execute the github workflow Create Release

Installation (ResoniteModLoader)

1. Install ResoniteModLoader.
2. Download release zip file and extract contents into Resonite directory. (e.g. rml_mods should be merged with rml_mods.)
3. Start Resonite. (with -LoadAssembly Libraries/ResoniteModLoader.dll launch option)

Installation (MonkeyLoader)

(Work in Progress)

1. ~Install MonkeyLoader.~
2. ~Add package source "https://nuget.pkg.github.com/mpmxyz/index.json"~
3. ~Add package "mpmxyz.SampleMod.MonkeyLoader"~
4. ~Start Resonite.~
