Develop new mods

Development tools: Visual Studio 2019

1. Create a new project.
2. Select Class Library (.NET Framework) template.
3. Select Framework version: .NET Framework 3.5.
4. Complete project creation.
5. Add ModHelper project to your Solution.
6. Add ModHelper reference to your project.
7. In ModHelper Reference Properties, set Copy Local to False.
   If you use Harmony Library in your project, you also need to set Copy Local to False.
   ModLoader already contains the library.
8. Create a new class. Example:

using HarmonyLib;
using ModHelper;

namespace MyAwesomeProject
{
    class MyAwesomeMod : IMod
    {
        public string Name => "A awesome mod";

        public string Description => "An example of mod";

        public string Author => "Mo10";

        public string HomePage => "https://github.com/mo10/MuseDashModLoader";

        public void DoPatching()
        {
            var harmony = new Harmony("com.github.mo10.myawesomemod");
            // Do somthing...

            // When you want to print to the log:
            // ModHelper.ModLogger.Debug("My log output");
        }
    }
}

9. When the MuseDashModLoader runs, the DoPatching() method will be executed.

Catch exception

If your mod throws an exception in DoPatching(), you can find the exception message in Modlogger.log.
