Contributing to Weave Loader

Thank you for your interest in contributing to Weave Loader!

Project Structure

WeaveLoader.Launcher/ -- C# console app that launches the game and injects the runtime DLL
WeaveLoaderRuntime/ -- C++ DLL injected into the game process (hooks, .NET hosting, native exports)
WeaveLoader.Core/ -- C# assembly loaded inside the game process (mod discovery, lifecycle management)
WeaveLoader.API/ -- C# class library that mod authors reference (IMod, Registry, Events)
ExampleMod/ -- Sample mod demonstrating the API

Building

Prerequisites

Visual Studio 2022+ with C++ Desktop Development and .NET 8 workloads
CMake 3.24+
.NET 8.0 SDK

C++ Runtime

cd WeaveLoaderRuntime
cmake -B build -A x64
cmake --build build --config Release

C# Projects

dotnet build Weave Loader.sln -c Release

Guidelines

Keep game source modifications at zero -- all integration is via injection and hooking
Test hooks against the latest game build with PDB symbols
Use namespaced string IDs ("modid:name") for all registered content
Catch exceptions from mod code to prevent crashes
Document public API methods with XML doc comments

Pull Requests

Fork the repository and create a feature branch
Include a clear description of what your PR does
Make sure the C# projects build without warnings
Test DLL injection on a real game build if possible
