A mod focused around adding insurance coverage for various events/scenarios that requires credits to purchase.
- Mod is started a proof of concept and is my first attempt at modding the game. Source code for the mod may not be in the best state.
- Mod currently does not use any save state, insurance will have to be purchased again at the start of every game session.
- Add insurance coverage for the following events
- Scrap lost on full team death
- Employee death with unrecoverable body
- Equipment left behind on map (shotguns, ladders, etc)
- Add cooldown, certian insurance should only be able to be purchased
- Add save state so insurance rolls over from play sessions
- Add base cost instead of most prices being based off % of quota.
This mod uses BepinEx and Harmony 2 for mod injection, they are included in the DLL file. You can find the latest build of the mod in the GitHub releases section, then extract the mod and add it to your BepinEx plugin folder. Please be sure to include the lethalinsurance and lethalinsurance.manifest file. These are Unity NetCode for GameObjects NetObjects that are responsible for ServerRPC and ClientRPC.
To purchase insurance, use the in game terminal and type in insurance. All coverage plans offered at the time will be displayed on the terminal. You can then type in quota for example to purchase quota insurance. Please note that the insurance command is an interactive command, and will function diffrently from other in game commands. Subcommands of the insurance command will only be accessable in the insurance application.
It is strongly recommended that you use the prebuilt version instead of building. If you wish to continue, you must download the external dependencies listed on this readme, excluding UnityNedcodeWeaver.
After adding the dependencies, to the project you need to create a build of the mod by running dotnet build in the project directory. Once your build has finished, you should now have both the LethalInsurnace.dll and LethalInsurance.pdb located inside your bin folder.
Before the mod can be used in game, we must post process our dll file so that it can use Unity's NetCode system. To do this, we will use UnityNedcodeWeaver. More information on how this step works can be found on the GitHub page for UnityNetcodeWeaver.
You will need a blank game object exported from Unity in the asset bundle format. This blank object should contain a NetworkObject script attached to it. This will be used as our root object for networking between game clients. You must do this step in Unity, as the editor will generate a random ID hash for the object that will be unique for the mod. For refrence, if you do not wish to do this step I have included the file in the repo which will be lethalinsurance and lethalinsurance.manifest located in the netobjects/ directory. These files must be shipped with the DLL otherwise networking will not work.
