Dev Only! - Loader for Generators and Themes for Galactic Scale 2 Mod

About this mod Author’s original text

Theme / Generator Loader for DSP Galactic Scale 2.0 Mod

Please note this is the loader, it does not contain any generators or themes itself. This is for theme / generator developers to allow them to easily publish.

Include this DLL with your Json files / Directories, in a zip file following the standard format, and it will automatically copy them to the Galactic Scale 2.0 Custom Themes Directory.

i.e. the contents of the zip file should include

  • GS2Loader.dll
  • icon.png <- you can replace this with your own
  • manifest.json <- you need to edit this
  • README.md <- you need to edit this
  • yourtheme.json <- if you are releasing a theme
  • or yourdirectory/yourtheme1.json etc if you wish to release a themepack.
  • yourgenerator.dll <- if you are releaseing a custom generator

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
