Simple mod loader for FEZ (WIP)

HAT - Simple mod loader for FEZ

Overview

HAT is a MonoMod-based mod loader for FEZ, currently in development. Its main purpose is to make process of FEZ modding slightly easier for end user.

When patched into the FEZ instance, it can be used to dynamically load game modifications on the game launch. Correctly prepared mods can add/override game assets or inject its own logic through custom-made plugin.

Installing mod loader

1. Download MonoMod (for .NET 4.5.2) and unpack it in the game's directory.
2. Download latest FEZ.HAT.mm.dll from Release tab and put it in the game's directory.
3. Run command MonoMod.exe FEZ.exe (or drag FEZ.exe onto MonoMod.exe). This should generate new executable file called MONOMODDED_FEZ.exe.
4. Run MONOMODDED_FEZ.exe and enjoy modding!

In the future, this process will be automated by a custom-made installer/mod manager (something like Olympus for Celeste's Everest).

Adding mods

1. On first HAT launch, Mods directory should be created in the executable's directory. If not, create it.
2. Download the mod's archive and put it in this directory.
3. Start the game.

It's that simple!

Building HAT

1. Clone repository.
2. Copy all dependencies listed in Dependencies directory and paste them into said directory.
3. Build it. idk. it should work.
