About this mod Author’s original text

Stubbed Shader Converter

This is a ThunderKit created external tool for converting stubbed shaders into Hopoo equivelents, and is primarily a tool for other mod developers.

Using StubbedShaderConverter within your mod will require a Soft/HardDependency, as StubbedShaderConverter must load before your mod loads.

Information on how to use this as a mod developer can be found within the Github.

Changelog

0.1.0

__StubbedShaderConverter's ShaderConverter has been reworked.__
The namespace has been renamed from ShaderConvert to ShaderConverter.
ShaderConvert is kept in this release for compatibility, but will be removed in the future. Please update to use ShaderConverter instead!
The cloud remap issues, which most of the methods in this tool were used to solve, has been figured out! All of StubbedShaderConverter's main converter methods have been removed.
The new primary method is ShaderConverter.ConvertStubbedShaders() which accepts AssetBundles, GameObjects, Renderers and Materials as input. This can be called in awake and correctly handles cloud remap shaders.
Please check out the Github for information on cloud remap materials.
__Added a new AddMaterialController component.__
Used for adding KomradeSpectre's Material Controller to any prefab contained within your asset bundle on start.
__KomradeSpectre's Material Controller has been updated.__
Now supports all Renderer types.
Now supports HGSnowTopped shaders.

The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
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.
Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
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:
