An in-game explorer and a suite of debugging tools for <ahref="https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/IL2CPP.html">IL2CPP</a> and <b>Mono</b> Unity games, to aid with modding development.
1. Install [BepInEx](https://github.com/BepInEx/BepInEx) for your game. For IL2CPP you should use [BepInEx 6 (Bleeding Edge)](https://builds.bepis.io/projects/bepinex_be), for Mono you should use [BepInEx 5](https://github.com/BepInEx/BepInEx/releases) (until Mono support stabilizes in BepInEx 6).
2. Download the UnityExplorer release for BepInEx IL2CPP or Mono above.
3. Take the `UnityExplorer.BIE.___.dll` file and put it in `[GameFolder]\BepInEx\plugins\`
4. In IL2CPP, you will need to download the [Unity libs](https://github.com/LavaGang/Unity-Runtime-Libraries) for the game's Unity version and put them in the `BepInEx\unity-libs\` folder.
1. Install [MelonLoader](https://github.com/HerpDerpinstine/MelonLoader) 0.3+ for your game. Version 0.3 is currently in pre-release, so you must "Enable ALPHA Releases" in your MelonLoader Installer settings to see the option for it.
2. Download the UnityExplorer release for MelonLoader IL2CPP or Mono above.
3. Take the `UnityExplorer.ML.___.dll` file and put it in the `[GameFolder]\Mods\` folder.
The standalone release requires you to also load `0Harmony.dll` (HarmonyX, from the `lib\` folder) to function properly, and the IL2CPP also requires `UnhollowerBaseLib.dll` as well. The Mono release should be fairly easy to use with any loader, but the IL2CPP one may be tricky, I'd recommend just using BepInEx or MelonLoader for IL2CPP.
The C# Console can be used to define temporary classes and methods, or it can be used to evaluate an expression, but you cannot do both at the same time.
For example, you could run this code to define a temporary class (it will be visible within the console until you run `Reset();`).
You could then delete or comment out the class and run the following expression to run that method:
```csharp
MyClass.Method();
```
However, you cannot define a class and run it both at the same time. You must either define class(es) and run that, or define an expression and run that.
You can also make use of the helper methods in the console to simplify some tasks, which you can see listed when the console has nothing entered for input. These methods are **not** accessible within any temporary classes you define, they can only be used in the expression context.
Explorer saves all logs to disk (only keeps the most recent 10 logs). They can be found in a "UnityExplorer" folder in the same place as where you put the DLL file.
These logs are also visible in the Debug Console part of the UI.
2. Select `Solution 'UnityExplorer' (1 of 1 project)` in the Solution Explorer panel, and set the <b>Active config</b> property to the version you want to build, then build it. Alternatively, use "Batch Build" and select all releases.
4. If ILRepack complains about an error, just change the Active config to a different release and then back again. This sometimes happens for the first time you build the project.
