Building From Source

Note: This assumes you have some fundamental understanding of how Github & visual studio work and so is intended more as a quick start than a full guide.

1. Download and install Visual Studio community edition. Not visual Studio Code.
2. Clone / download this repository to your computer.
3. Open the Project solution.
4. If your game install is not in the default location (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Railroader) follow these steps to add the correct references
   1. Create a user solution file Directory.Build.targets in the root of the project (where 'RouteManager.sln' is). There is an example file you can copy
   2. Update the GamePath property so it points to the base of your Railroader install
5. Build the solution
   • If you are using BepInEx, 'RouteManager.BepInEx.dll' and 'config.ini' will be copied to the 'BepInEx\plugins' folder
   • If you are using Unity Mod Manager, 'RouteManager.UMM.dll' and 'info.json' will be copied to the 'Mods\RouteManager' folder

Note: If the build config is set to 'Release' zip archives containing the required files will be created for both mod loader types in the solution's 'Release' folder
