ModSettings

Mod Settings

Puts mod options where players look for them: a Mods tab on the game's own settings screen,

in the main menu and the pause menu. It uses the game's switches, sliders and dropdowns, so it

looks and behaves like the rest of the menu.

On its own it does nothing. Mods that use it list their options under their own heading.

Changes apply straight away and are saved to UserData/MelonPreferences.cfg.

For mod authors

Reference ModSettings.dll, add holyfurries-ModSettings to your dependencies,

and register your existing MelonPreferences entries in OnInitializeMelon:

MelonPreferences_Category preferences = MelonPreferences.CreateCategory("MyMod");

MelonPreferences_Entry enabled = preferences.CreateEntry("enabled", true);

MelonPreferences_Entry size = preferences.CreateEntry("size", 1f);

MelonPreferences_Entry corner = preferences.CreateEntry("corner", Corner.TopRight);

Settings.toggle("My Mod", "Show overlay", enabled);

Settings.slider("My Mod", "Overlay size", size, minimum: 0.5f, maximum: 3f);

Settings.dropdown("My Mod", "Overlay corner", corner);

• The entry stays the source of truth. Read entry.Value as usual, or subscribe to

entry.OnEntryValueChanged to react.

• Changing the entry from code, such as a hotkey, updates the control.
• slider takes whole_numbers: true for integer steps. dropdown works with any enum and

lists its names as words (TopCenter shows as "Top Center").

• Up to 128 settings in total. Labels are at most 48 characters, mod names 32.

If a game update changes the settings screen, the tab is skipped with a warning in the log and

the config file keeps working.

Installation

Install with a mod manager, or copy Mods/ModSettings.dll into the game's Mods folder

with MelonLoader 0.7.3 (IL2CPP).
