An API designed for the development and cross-compatibility between multiple Baldi's Basics Plus mods. You'll need BepInEx 5 to utilize this API, and FixPluginTypesSerialization for all custom components to behave correctly. Documentation is still very sparse and WIP, and may be out of date. I suggest looking at my content packs or other similar mods for a decent reference.
The API features a lot of useful features for modders.
- Easy to use methods for loading images/audio/models/midis
- A metadata system used to allow for easy resource gathering and storage, along with a tagging system for easy cross mod compatability
- Methods for "extending" enums (managing int to enum casts), which BB+ uses for checking items to avoid potential enum clashes.
- Builder patterns for various different prefab types
- Fixes for the BB+ midi engine to allow for use of the entire standard midi soundfont
- Various different extensions and additional systems added to BB+ to prevent incompatibilities with mods that try to do the same general thing. (EX: PlayerStatModifiers for when mods want to modify the player stats directly)
- A custom mod loading screen
- A system specifically designed for handling the modifications of the level generator, including priority and order systems to prevent conflicts and to allow for easier cross-mod compatibility.
- An extension of Harmony that adds conditional patches, patches that only patch if a certain condition is met. Useful for mod compatibility without needing to add manual conditional patching code.
- And more!
PixelGuy for various minor portions of the codebase (Especially during it's early days) Dummiesman for OBJ Importer, which was adapted for use in the API. Thanks to this project for allowing for serialization to work correctly for custom classes, thus letting the CustomAnimator components serialize correctly.
