Creates nugets with stripped and publicized libraries for Unity game modding.
If the game gets updated, this package needs to get updated too.
strip-assembiles.bat
does two things:
- Strips game assembiles using NStrip. This removes game code and leaves only API definitions.
- Publicizes
Assembly.CSharp.dll
andAAssembly-CSharp-firstpass.dll
. This makes all types, methods, properties and fields public, to make modding easier.
- Go to nuget.org.
- Either log in, or create a new account.
- Create a new API key with permissions to push new packages.
- Create a new repository based on this template.
- Add a secret called
NUGET_KEY
to this repository. Give it the value of the API key you created earlier. - Update the repository's name. This will be used as your Nuget ID, so it can't clash with another nuget package on nuget.org.
- Update the repository's description. This will be used as the nuget's description too.
- Make sure you start off with a clean version of the game files, with no extra/modified dlls.
- Drag the game's exe and drop it on
strip-assembiles.bat
. - Dlls are stripped, publicized, and placed in
package\lib
.
- Edit the
.nuspec
file, make<version>
match the game version where these assemblies come from. - Push to master.
- Updating master will trigger a workflow that will pack the dlls and update the NuGet package.
By default, only Assembly-CSharp.dll
and Assembly-CSharp-firstpass.dll
are publicized. All other dlls are stripped only. To publicize other dlls, edit strip-assemblies.bat
and add the dll names to the toPublicize
variable.
