1. Take the `UnityExplorer.ML.[version].dll` file and put them in the `Mods\` folder created by MelonLoader, and then put the `UniverseLib.[version].dll` file in the `UserLibs\` folder.
1. Ensure the required libs are loaded - UniverseLib, HarmonyX and MonoMod
2. For IL2CPP, load Il2CppAssemblyUnhollower and start an [Il2CppAssemblyUnhollower runtime](https://github.com/knah/Il2CppAssemblyUnhollower#required-external-setup)
* Use the UnityObject search to look for any objects which derive from `UnityEngine.Object`, with optional filters
* The singleton search will look for any classes with a typical "Instance" field, and check it for a current value. This may cause unexpected behaviour in some IL2CPP games as we cannot distinguish between true properties and field-properties, so some property accessors will be invoked.
The inspector is used to see detailed information on objects of any type and manipulate their values, as well as to inspect C# Classes with static reflection.
* The <b>GameObject Inspector</b> (tab prefix `[G]`) is used to inspect a `GameObject`, and to see and manipulate its Transform and Components.
* You can edit any of the input fields in the inspector (excluding readonly fields) and press <b>Enter</b> to apply your changes. You can also do this to the GameObject path as a way to change the GameObject's parent. Press the <b>Escape</b> key to cancel your edits.
*<i>note: When inspecting a GameObject with a Canvas, the transform controls may be overridden by the RectTransform anchors.</i>
* The <b>Reflection Inspectors</b> (tab prefix `[R]` and `[S]`) are used for everything else
* Automatic updating is not enabled by default, and you must press Apply for any changes you make to take effect.
* Press the `▼` button to expand certain values such as strings, enums, lists, dictionaries, some structs, etc
* Use the filters at the top to quickly find the members you are looking for
* For `Texture2D` objects, there is a `View Texture` button at the top of the inspector which lets you view it and save it as a PNG file. Currently there are no other similar helpers yet, but I may add more at some point for Mesh, Sprite, Material, etc
* You can execute a script automatically on startup by naming it `startup.cs` and placing it in the `UnityExplorer\Scripts\` folder (this folder will be created where you placed the DLL file).
* You can edit the source code of the generated hook with the "Edit Hook Source" button. Accepted method names are `Prefix` (which can return `bool` or `void`), `Postfix`, `Finalizer` (which can return `Exception` or `void`), and `Transpiler` (which must return `IEnumerable<HarmonyLib.CodeInstruction>`). You can define multiple patches if you wish.
