BoneLib

A BONELAB mod for making life easier for other mod creators.

BoneLib is fully open source so feel free to make a PR for new features and bug fixes. Just make sure the code is commented/easily understandable, and doesn't noticeably affect performance.

Features

• A menu system for other mods to use
• Easy access to data related to the player (held items, position, controllers, current avatar, etc)
• Events for common actions, such as guns firing, grabbing items, changing avatars, NPCs dying, etc
• Helper and extension methods for changing the RPM of guns, damaging enemies, getting clean object names
• Extension methods to call functions with nullable parameters that would otherwise crash the game
• Spawn message boxes for the player
• Safely invoke actions with error handling
• Lots of other small features

Many more features will be added as we continue to develop the mod.

User Preferences

You will have to run the game once with the mod installed before the preferences will show up.

Preferences are stored in UserData\MelonPreferences.cfg.

• LoggingMode: NORMAL or DEBUG. For most people normal is fine, debug will just show more info to help with development.

• SkipIntro: true to not play the intro at the start of the game and go straight to the menu.

Auto Updater

By default this mod will automatically update to the latest release from github when you launch the game. If you want to disable this for any reason, set OfflineMode to true in the preferences file. If you haven't run the game yet and don't have that file, create it and add the following lines to it.

[BoneLibUpdater]
OfflineMode = true
