PROTOSHOCK Mod Guide:

Modding info

Here you can find informations about modding protoshock with network compatibility. This is for creating custom maps and custom networking.

To create a mod you’ll need the mod tool and you can find it in the games folder and here ProtoshockModTools.unitypackage

Create a project in Unity 2022.3.12f1 and use the "Universal Render Pipeline" template
- Get unity 2022.3.12f1
Go to file > build settings > player settings > other settingsand change the Api compatibility level from .NET Standard 2.1 to .NET Framework
Import the ProtoshockModTools.unitypackage file found in your steam installation directory
If prompted to change your project settings, continue, this may unassign the URP asset in edit > project settings > graphics, just reassign the asset and you will be good to go
Create a folder called "ModAssets", any file found in the "ModAssets" folder will be included in your mod output folder in the form of assetbundles and dlls
To build a mod, go to ProtoshockModding > Build Asset Bundle, the output will be found in a folder called "ModOutput"

You must put your modded level on the mod.io page (https://mod.io/g/protoshock) to allow others to join, they will only be able to join you on the latest mod.io version, or if they have a mod with the same name currently installed already.
- Make sure you upload the mod with the same mod name in both
mod.io and same folder name so mods can be downloaded automatically.

You must have a spawn point in your scene, to create one, make an empty gameobject and give it the spawnpoint tag.
- It is advised to delete any cameras, as these could decrease performance or make the level unplayable
- You can do custom post processing, however post processing effects is already applied when on high graphics quality in game: use the "Post Processing" layer

To load a mod, create a Mods folder in your protoshock install folder, then place the mod output folder in the Mods folder you just made.
