To use Mecha you must compile it first. See this for more information.
Once compiled, you can open the Mecha GUI via the Mecha GUI.exe file, where you can then manage debug settings and plugins. Other .exe and .dll files are merely dependencies.
As the description may already suggest, Mecha allows you to completely debug the client from top to bottom. It also gives you a chance to inject your own JavaScript code and resources into the League of Legends client.
- Hooking and Unhooking your client
- Retrieving the DevTools URL
- Injecting custom JavaScript "plugins" into the client
- Customizing hook settings
- Build or download a compiled version of Mecha
- Launch your LoL client
- Launch
Mecha GUI.exe - Press "Hook" (Note: Only once is enough. Your client will be hooked until you unhook.)
- Relaunch your client
Using Mecha is simple. Clicking around in the GUI should answer all of your questions, but in case something goes wrong, you can always create an issue.
- Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/x00bence/Mecha.git - Build the solution with Visual Studio 2019 using the default
Release | x86configuration. (Note: Will NOT compile with other configurations by default)
As noted in above sections, you also have the possibility to develop JavaScript "plugins" that will get executed in the scope of the client. This allows you to directly modify resources, hook and override internal JavaScript, dump data, and more. Mecha tries to be unopinionated and provides no API by default for creating plugins. It's up to the developers to reverse engineer the client, create an API, design the lifecycle flow, and decide the bundling process.
Plugins can be installed simply by dragging and dropping them into your chosen "plugins" folder. Plugins are loaded from said folder every time you load or refresh your client. Refer to the Mecha GUI for more information.

Mecha has been heavily inspired and influenced by Ace and a Hackathon-created patch diff tool. Although Mecha has different intentions, these two tools ultimately gave the idea to create Mecha. Big shoutouts.
