CreativeContentConverter

A fork of HolographicWings's LethalSDK to follow developers to convert content created with LethalSDK to content built for Lethal Company and/or LethalLevelLoader.

How To Use

Setting Up Your New Development Environment

• Create New Unity Project

Unity Version: 2022.3.9f1*

High Definition Render Pipeline*

• Install LC Project Patcher by Nomnom

• Run LC Project Patcher

Moving Your Previous Lethal Expansion Work To The New Environment

• Open up your old and new Unity projects in Windows File Explorer

• Move all related folders From Your old project to your new project

• Refresh your new project and manually confirm your content looks right.

More specifically confirm that things like scrap and moon prefabs still have relevant LethalSDK components and you still have LethalSDK ScriptableObject assets like ModManifests and Moons.*

Installing Creative Content Converter

• If if it doesn’t exist, Create a new folder called Plugins in /Assets/LethalCompany/Tools/

• Add the latest version of LethalLevelLoader and all its dependencies in the /Tools/Plugins/ folder

• Locate the LethalSDK.dll found in the content you moved from the old project, For most people this will be in /Assets/Plugins/

• Replace the previous LethalSDK.dll with the new LethalSDK.dll contained in the CreativeContentConverter release

This is the part most likely to go wrong, To ensure Unity correctly understands your content is using the CreativeContentConverter version of LethalSDK instead of the original, you must ensure you replace the dll in the exact same place in the project*

• Refresh your new project and manually confirm your content looks right.

More specifically confirm that things like scrap and moon prefabs still have relevant LethalSDK components and you still have LethalSDK ScriptableObject assets like ModManifests and Moons.*
