Initialization Rules

↩️ Back

To use ModExtraAssets, you first have to initialize this tool. You can do that in different ways. I'm going to show 2 examples how to load ModExtraAssets with your BepInEx plugin

Initialization with .vfp files is the same, it just requires a MEAVfpLoadingProcedure and .vfp file!

1. Load instantly (Zip Files Example)

[BepInPlugin(ModInfo.ID, ModInfo.Name, ModInfo.Version)]

public class BasePlugin : BaseUnityPlugin

{

void Awake()

{

Harmony harmony = new Harmony(ModInfo.ID);

harmony.PatchAll();

MEAZipLoadingProcedure zipLoadingProcedure = Blayms.MEA.ModExtraAssets.CreateLoadingProcedure<MEAZipLoadingProcedure>(@"D:\BBP\BepInEx\plugins\blayms-tbb-baldiplus- sandbox\meazip.zip", this);

zipLoadingProcedure.Initiate();

}

2. Load with delay (Zip Files Example)

[BepInPlugin(ModInfo.ID, ModInfo.Name, ModInfo.Version)]

public class BasePlugin : BaseUnityPlugin

{

void Awake()

{

Harmony harmony = new Harmony(ModInfo.ID);

harmony.PatchAll();

MEAZipLoadingProcedure myNPCAssetsProcedure = Blayms.MEA.ModExtraAssets.CreateLoadingProcedure<MEAZipLoadingProcedure>(@"D:\BBP\BepInEx\plugins\blayms-tbb-baldiplus- sandbox\myNPCAssets.zip", this);

StartCoroutine(LoadWithDelayExample(myNPCAssetsProcedure));

}

IEnumerator LoadWithDelayExample(MEAZipLoadingProcedure zipLoadingProcedure)

{

//Wait 10 seconds first

yield return new WaitForSeconds(10);

//Start loading assets

zipLoadingProcedure.Initiate();

}
