Il2Cpp Issues:
* Some methods may still fail with a `MissingMethodException`, please let me know if you experience this (with full debug log please).
* Reflection may fail with certain types, see [here](https://github.com/knah/Il2CppAssemblyUnhollower#known-issues) for more details.
* Scrolling with mouse wheel in the Explorer menu may not work on all games at the moment.
## Features
* Scene Explorer: Simple menu to traverse the Transform heirarchy of the scene.
* GameObject Inspector: Various helpful tools to see and manipulate the GameObject, similar to what you can do in the Editor.
* Reflection Inspector: Inspect Properties and Fields. Can also set primitive values and evaluate primitive methods.
* Search: Search for UnityEngine.Objects with various filters, or use the helpers for static Instances and Classes.
* C# Console: Interactive console for evaluating C# methods on the fly, with some basic helpers.
* Inspect-under-mouse: Hover over an object with a collider and inspect it by clicking on it.
## How to install
### MelonLoader
Requires [MelonLoader](https://github.com/HerpDerpinstine/MelonLoader) to be installed for your game.
1. Download the relevant release from above.
2. Unzip the file into the `Mods` folder in your game's installation directory, created by MelonLoader.
3. Make sure it's not in a sub-folder, `Explorer.dll` should be directly in the `Mods\` folder.
### BepInEx
Requires [BepInEx](https://github.com/BepInEx/BepInEx) to be installed for your game.
1. Download the relevant release from above.
2. Unzip the file into the `BepInEx\plugins\` folder in your game's installation directory, created by BepInEx.
3. Make sure it's not in a sub-folder, `Explorer.dll` should be directly in the `plugins\` folder.
## Mod Config
There is a simple Mod Config for the Explorer. You can access the settings via the "Options" page of the main menu.
`Main Menu Toggle` (KeyCode) | Default: `F7`
* See [this article](https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/KeyCode.html) for a full list of all accepted KeyCodes.
`Default Window Size` (Vector2) | Default: `x: 550, y: 700`
* Sets the default width and height for all Explorer windows when created.
`Default Items per Page` (int) | Default: `20`
* Sets the default items per page when viewing lists or search results.
`Enable Bitwise Editing` (bool) | Default: `false`
* Whether or not to show the Bitwise Editing helper when inspecting integers
`Enable Tab View` (bool) | Default: `true`
* Whether or not all inspector windows a grouped into a single window with tabs.
`Default Output Path` (string) | Default: `Mods\Explorer`
* Where output is generated to, by default (for Texture PNG saving, etc).
## Mouse Control
Explorer can force the mouse to be visible and unlocked when the menu is open, if you have enabled "Force Unlock Mouse" (Left-Alt toggle). Explorer also attempts to prevent clicking-through onto the game behind the Explorer menu.
If you need more mouse control:
* For VRChat, use [VRCExplorerMouseControl](https://github.com/sinai-dev/VRCExplorerMouseControl)
* For Hellpoint, use [HPExplorerMouseControl](https://github.com/sinai-dev/Hellpoint-Mods/tree/master/HPExplorerMouseControl/HPExplorerMouseControl)
* You can create your own plugin using one of the two plugins above as an example. Usually only a few simple Harmony patches are needed to fix the problem.
For example:
```csharp
using Explorer;
using Harmony; // or 'using HarmonyLib;' for BepInEx
// ...
// You will need to figure out the relevant Class and Method for your game using dnSpy.
[HarmonyPatch(typeof(MyGame.InputManager), nameof(MyGame.InputManager.Update))]
public class InputManager_Update
{
[HarmonyPrefix]
public static bool Prefix()
{
// prevent method running if menu open, let it run if not.
return !ExplorerCore.ShowMenu;
}
}
```
## Building
If you'd like to build this yourself, you will need to have installed BepInEx and/or MelonLoader for at least one Unity game. If you want to build all 4 versions, you will need at least one Il2Cpp and one Mono game, with BepInEx and MelonLoader installed for both.
1. Install MelonLoader or BepInEx for your game.
2. Open the `src\Explorer.csproj` file in a text editor.
3. Set the relevant `GameFolder` values for the versions you want to build, eg. set `MLCppGameFolder` if you want to build for a MelonLoader Il2Cpp game.
4. Open the `src\Explorer.sln` project.
5. Select `Solution 'Explorer' (1 of 1 project)` in the Solution Explorer panel, and set the Active config property to the version you want to build, then build it.
5. The DLLs are built to the `Release\` folder in the root of the repository.
6. If ILRepack fails or is missing, use the NuGet package manager to re-install `ILRepack.Lib.MSBuild.Task`, then re-build.

* [ManlyMarco](https://github.com/ManlyMarco) for their [Runtime Unity Editor](https://github.com/ManlyMarco/RuntimeUnityEditor), which I used for the REPL Console and the "Find instances" snippet, and the UI style.
* [denikson](https://github.com/denikson) for [mcs-unity](https://github.com/denikson/mcs-unity). I commented out the `SkipVisibilityExt` constructor since it was causing an exception with the Hook it attempted.
