Unity Game Libs Nuget Creator

Creates nugets with stripped and publicized libraries for Unity game modding.

If the game gets updated, this package needs to get updated too.

strip-assembiles.bat does two things:

• Strips game assembiles using NStrip. This removes game code and leaves only API definitions.
• Publicizes Assembly.CSharp.dll and AAssembly-CSharp-firstpass.dll. This makes all types, methods, properties and fields public, to make modding easier.

Usage

Nuget account

• Go to nuget.org.
• Either log in, or create a new account.
• Create a new API key with permissions to push new packages.

Prepare your repository

• Create a new repository based on this template.
• Add a secret called NUGET_KEY to this repository. Give it the value of the API key you created earlier.
• Update the repository's name. This will be used as your Nuget ID, so it can't clash with another nuget package on nuget.org.
• Update the repository's description. This will be used as the nuget's description too.

Generate the stripped libraries

• Make sure you start off with a clean version of the game files, with no extra/modified dlls.
• Drag the game's exe and drop it on strip-assembiles.bat.
• Dlls are stripped, publicized, and placed in package\lib.

Updating the Nuget

• Edit the .nuspec file, make <version> match the game version where these assemblies come from.
• Push to the default branch.
• Updating the default branch will trigger a workflow that will pack the dlls and update the NuGet package.

Publicized assemblies

By default, only Assembly-CSharp.dll and Assembly-CSharp-firstpass.dll are publicized. All other dlls are stripped only. To publicize other dlls, edit strip-assemblies.bat and add the dll names to the toPublicize variable.
