This is a more detailed description of things I did to get the mod working. If you just want to play with the mod, you don't have to read this.
Long general installation guide for BepInEx can be found here.
Shorter description for Skul below:
The current builds can be found here: BepInEx 5.4.21.
For Windows use: BepInEx_x64 For Linux use: BepInEx_unix
Extract the content of the archive into the Root folder of your Skul Installation. So that the Root folder of the game contains a "BepInEx" folder
For Windows usually: C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Skul
For Linux usually: /home/MyUserName/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/common/Skul/
Linux Only:
- modify
run_bepinex.shto set theexecutable_nameon line 15 like this:executable_name="Skul.x86_64" - make
run_bepinex.shexecutable. To do that, run in terminal:chmod u+x run_bepinex.sh - In Steam, under properties for Skul, set the Launch Options to
./run_bepinex.sh %command%
Open the Skul.Mod.csproj and modify <SkulDirectory> to point to your Skul folder.
Building the .net project will then build the .dll to $(SkulDirectory)\BepInEx\plugins where it will be automatically loaded by BepInEx
Skul ships with stripped assemblies. (for further reading)
Downloading the unstripped assemblies and dropping them into $(SkulDirectory)\Skul_Data\Managed\ fixes that (overwriting existing files as needed).
The Managed folder can be backed up in case something goes wrong. Alternatively Steams "Verify integrity of game files" can be used to restore the modified files.
