[ Compilation ]

[ Instructions ]

There are 2 seperate projects in this solution:

• The actual mod - regarding the file that patches the game
• The Configurator - to assist in configuring the mod

[ Actual Mod ]

%project_path% = %repo_path%/notkeepersneeds/

To compile this project, it requires several references. Because these are linked to a specific location on the system where the compilation is done.

So to make it work on your system you must most likely alter these references. Or being more precise: alter the location of where the referenced DDL-files are stored, being %game_path%\Graveyard Keeper_Data\Managed.

The game specific DLL's that are referenced in this mod are:

• Assembly-CSharp.dll
• Assembly-CSharp-firstpass.dll
• SmartBearAssembly.dll
• UnityEngine.dll
• UnityEngine.CoreModule.dll
• UnityEngine.InputLegacyModule.dll
• UnityEngine.UI.dll
• 0Harmony.dll

The last one will only be present after QModManager is installed, the rest are included with the game itself.

Assuming that you are using Visual Studio to compile this project, you can just:

• Go to the Solution Explorer
• Right click the References item (located under the NotKeepersNeeds project)
• Click Add Reference
• Click Browse
• Navigate to the %game_path%\Graveyard Keeper_Data\Managed\ folder
• Add all the DLL's specified above. (you can use ctrl to select multiple files at once)
• Click Ok to confirm adding the files
• This will in fact not re-add the same references, but rather update the paths of the ones that were already listed
• Once this is done, you should be able to build the project
• This will result in a new compiled .DLL file, called NotKeepersNeeds.dll, located in:
  • %project_path%/bin/Debug - when running a Debug build
  • %project_path%/bin/Release - when running a Release build

[ Configurator ]

%project_path% = %repo_path%/NKN-Configurator/

This should compile without issues, since it is not dependent on the game specific DLL's. Just run build and normally it should work.

[ Output ]

This solution consists of 2 seperate projects:

• Not Keepers Needs - the actual mod
  • Compiles to %repo_path%/notkeepersneeds/bin/%build_mode%/NotKeepersNeeds.dll
• NKN-Configurator - a wizard to assist in the configuration (optional)
  • Compiles to %repo_path%/NKN-Configurator/bin//%build_mode%/NKN-Configurator.exe

Where %build_mode% can be either debug or release.

For the proper functioning of the mod, two additional files are required, which can be found in notkeepersneeds/files/:

[ Additional files ]

• mod.json, a file required for QModManager, containing version info among others.
• config.txt, can also be automatically generated (see Installation)

[ Installation ]

1. Make sure QModManager is installed and configured properly.
2. Create a new directory named NotKeepersNeeds in the Qmods directory in your Graveyard Keepers.
3. Copy all (either 3 or 4) files mentioned in the previous section to the that directory (%game_path%\QMods\NotKeepersNeeds\).
4. If you decided to copy the config.txt file manually, the mod will now work with the default values.
5. If not, run NKN-Configurator.exe in your mod folder at least once to generate the config.txt file.

[ Configuration ]

Configuration of the mod can be done by manually changing the configuration values in the config.txt file.

There's also a configuration tool present - the NKN-Configurator part of the solution - that can assist you to set the available configuration options if you do not feel comfortable editing the configuration file manually.

If the configuration tool is ran from the %game_path%\QMods\NotKeepersNeeds\ folder, it will load the existing settings, allowing you to edit them.

If you rather have it run pre-seeded with the default configuration values just delete the existing config.txt before running NKN-Configurator.exe

And here's an Article that contains information and instructions regarding the available configuration options and values, written by the original mod author.
