A guide to setting up the ResoniteModLoader and getting mods for your game.
Preface
Looks like you are wanting to mod Resonite and extend some of the capabilities or makes a few tweaks before they are implemented officially. A few quick bits to note before you jump in:
- Is modding allowed?: Yes, so long as Resonite’s Policy’s and Guidelines are followed. However don’t expect to get support from the team while using mod, instead ask in our Discord.
- Will people know I’m using mods?: By default no, however some mods may make changes that have visible effects to others.
- I have an issue I want to report: If an issue occurs while using mods, please do not report it on the Resonite Issue tracker. Instead post in the modding Discord and verify that it is an issue with a mod in the first place.
Installation
The full guide and additional details can be found on the ResoniteModLoader Github.
1. Download ResoniteModLoader to Resonite’s Libraries folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Resonite\Libraries).
2. Place 0Harmony into a rml_libs folder under your Resonite install directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Resonite\rml_libs). You will need to create this folder.
3. Add mod DLL files to a rml_mods folder under your Resonite install directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Resonite\rml_mods). You can create the folder if it’s missing, or launch Resonite once with ResoniteModLoader installed and it will be created automatically.
4. Add the following to Resonite’s launch options: “-LoadAssembly Libraries/ResoniteModLoader.dll”. If you put ResoniteModLoader.dll somewhere else you will need to change the path.
5. Start the game. If you want to verify that ResoniteModLoader is working you can check the Resonite logs. (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Resonite\Logs). The modloader adds some very obvious logs on startup, and if they’re missing something has gone wrong. Here is an example log file where everything worked correctly.
Finding mods and help
Eventually an audited list of mods will be made available. In the meantime, new mods and updates are posted in the Resonite Modding Discord.
If you experience trouble setting up mods or experience an issue with a mod, you can check out the Troubleshooting documentation and/or create a post in the discord in #help-and-support including details as to what is happening and what you have tried so far. Do note we will likely ask you for your game logs to help diagnose issues, especially for mod specific issues. The logs for your game will be where the game is installed in a /Logs/ folder.
