Usage

• Open Windows command prompt (cmd.exe) in the directory which should contain project folder
• Install .NET SDK with the command:
  winget install Microsoft.Dotnet.SDK.8
• I suggest using Visual Studio 2022 to edit the project. Use the following cmd command to install it:
  winget install Microsoft.VisualStudio.2022.Community --override "--add Microsoft.VisualStudio.Workload.ManagedDesktop --add Microsoft.Net.Component.4.7.2.SDK"
• If you haven't done this before (If you're not sure, just execute in anyways), you might need to add the NuGet repository as a source with the following command:
  dotnet nuget add source https://api.nuget.org/v3/index.json -n nuget.org
  (Just ignore the following error if it appears: "The name specified has already been added to the list of available package sources. Provide a unique name.")
• dotnet new --install Owlcat.Templates
• dotnet new <TemplateName> -n <ModID> -D "<Mod Name>" (Replace the <value> placeholder with actual values)
• Open the resulting project (open the .sln file with Visual Studio) and Build resulting project once to publicize
• Restart your IDE to rebuild cache if there are still red underlines

After that you should working setup for a UnityModManager mod which:

• automatically installs the mod when building
• has the correct path and already references a few assemblies (and even pubclizies three of them where I know it's often needed)
• has Hotreloading as an option by default; it's in both Release and Debug builds since I haven't found a way to ship Compiler Conditionals.

For sound mods, they additionally contain:

• A Wwise template in which you can add sounds (and create sound events). The template should automatically include the created Soundbanks in the final output.
• The UnityModManager mod part will automatically load the Soundbanks contained in the mod directory during runtime.
• If the event name matches an answer/cue/dialog guid, the sound event should automatically play when that answer/cue/dialog is displayed.

Requirements

• The target game needs to be installed. The game must've been started once (for a Player.log file).
• Kingmaker and Wrath: Have UnityModManager applied to the game.
• For the sound templates you additionally need a compatible version of Wwise (Audiokinetic) installed. For Wrath, that's any 2019.2 version.
