MelonLoader Updater Plugin

An updater plugin for MelonLoader on both Il2Cpp and Mono. While built to support Silica, this repo could be used to quickly generate a mod loader for any game.

Mod Prequisites

Each Mod using the updater needs to have the optional downloadLink parameter specified in the assembly info (https://melonwiki.xyz/#/modders/attributes) (e.g., [assembly: MelonInfo(typeof(SurrenderCommand), "[Si] Surrender Command", "1.1.8", "databomb", "https://github.com/data-bomb/Silica")])
The latest release of the GitHub repo should either have a DLL or a Zip file included

Tip

If a GitHub address is used as the downloadLink it should be of the format https://github.com/<username>/<repo>

DLL Direct Updater Method

The plugin will look for a DLL filename in the latest releases that matches the mod filename

Zip Updater Method

The plugin will look for Zip files that start with either Listen or Dedicated and download the Zip that matches the current run-time environment
The plugin will scan all the files in the Zip to see if there are matches to the associated mod filenames

Version Comparison

Once downloaded, the assembly MelonLoader information is scanned and compared with what is currently in the Mods\ directory
If the downloaded version is newer then it replaces the DLL in the Mods\ directory
If not then, then nothing happens
Files temporarily stored in the Mods\temp\ directory are removed after all version comparisons have completed
