BeaverBuddies

BeaverBuddies is a mod to allow multiplayer co-op in Timberborn.

If you would like to use the mod, please see the documentation on the wiki! This README is for develoeprs.

Setup

1. Install BepInEx, currently this version, by downloading the correct .zip folder, unzipping it, and putting the contents into your Timberborn game folder (likely something like C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Timberborn on Windows). You should have a folder structure with something like Timberborn\BepInEx\plugins\.
2. Run Timberborn to finish installing BepInEx. If it was successful, you should have a config folder inside of your BepInEx folder.
   • Suggested: update Timberborn\BepInEx\config\BepInEx.cfg as follows to include console output:

     
     [Logging.Console]

Enables showing a console for log output.

Setting type: Boolean

Default value: false

Enabled = true # Change this to true

3. Install [Visual Studio 2022 community edition](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/) and open this solution with it.
4. Build and run the project (Ctrl+shift+B). You may get errors about missing dependencies. To fix them, open `BeaverBuddies/BeaverBuddies/env.props` and adjust the environmental variables as needed.
   * `env.props` should have been created automatically, but if not you can copy `env.props.template` to `env.props`.
