JSON Tutorial

In order to properly load *.json files you must follow these rules first

For .zip files:

Your *.json file must be located inside a folder that is named the same way as your type of data you want to deserialize

Example: If you want to deserialize LocalizationData class, your json must have path something like this "Assets/Json/LocalizationData/MyExtraLanguageStuff.json"

You must refrence your BepInEx dll file using Zip Configuration's pluginDllPath key, so ModExtraAssets knows where to grab the data type from.

By refrencing your plugin.dll it also grabs dlls, which your plugin depends on

For .vfp files:

Your *.json file entry must have a metadata pair where the key is meaJsonType and the value is the full type name (w/ namespace, if any)

Example: If you want to deserialize LocalizationData class, your metadata pair must be something like this (Key: meaJsonType | Value: LocalizationData)

You must refrence your BepInEx dll file using Vfp Configuration's pluginDllPath key, so ModExtraAssets knows where to grab the data type from.

By refrencing your plugin.dll it also grabs dlls, which your plugin depends on

By default, ModExtraAssets uses UnityEngine.JsonUtility.ToJson<T>() to deserialize your data, but that's actually very customizable!

Example: Loading database with using Newtonsoft.Json library

SomeProcedureType proc = Blayms.MEA.ModExtraAssets.CreateLoadingProcedure<SomeProcedureType>(@"D:\mypluginfolder\procedureRequired.file", this,

(string json, Type type, object[] extraData) =>

{

return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(json, type, (JsonSerializerSettings)extraData[0]);

}, new object[]{MyCoolClass.GetJsonSerializerSettingsFor<LocalizationData>()});

proc.Initiate();

extraData[0] - JsonSerializerSettings from the object[] below
