RyuModManager

Mod manager for Yakuza series PC games. Please check the Supported Games list before using.

Allows loading mods from a /mods/ folder inside the game's directory. Mods do not have to contain repacked PAR archives, as Ryu Mod Manager can load loose files from the mod folder. Repacking is needed only for some PAR archives in Old Engine games (Yakuza games released before Yakuza 6). Other games do not need any PAR repacking.

Installing

Unpack the latest release into the game's directory, in the same folder as the game's executable.

Usage

A command line interface is available, as well as a simple GUI. For better operation, using an external mod manager (such as Vortex or Mod Organizer is recommended. Ryu Mod Manager needs to be installed as well. Please check the Yakuza Support Plugins repository for more info.

For actual usage, check the Installing Mods and Creating A New Mod articles in the wiki.

To run the program, just launch it with no arguments and it will generate an MLO file to be used by Parless, the Yakuza mod loader. All of the mod manager releases include Parless and all necessary files for usage, so no need to download Parless separately.

Building

Clone the repository and fetch the submodules, then open the solution file (.sln) in Visual Studio. You can then dotnet publish the RyuGUI project.
