Building

NetcodePatcher must be installed with dotnet tool install -g Evaisa.NetcodePatcher.Cli

To create a release zip in BetterLadders/artifacts, run dotnet publish -c Release

This also generates a.toml file to allow publishing from tcli

Publishing can be done automatically via GitHub Actions:

• Set Namespace, Product, Version, and RepositoryUrl in BetterLadders.csproj
• Set TS_API_KEY in the repository's secrets
• Run the Build and Publish workflow from the Actions page in GitHub
