Plugins

Patcher

Patcher is a plugin to perform runtime memory patches.
It loads .txt files containing patch data from Mods\Patches, see Patcher documentation for more information.
Patches by Souzooka are included by default.
Additional patches can be found in the ExtraPatches folder, they should be moved to Mods\Patches to be used.

Making your own

The Plugin API is in PluginAPI.h and is currently unfinished and subject to change.
Plugins should export a function of type bool __fastcall EML5_Load(PluginInfo*)
Return true to remain loaded in memory, and false to unload in case of error or desired behavior.
If your plugin remains in memory, fill out the PluginInfo struct:

pluginInfo->infoVersion = PluginInfo::MaxInfoVer;
pluginInfo->name = "Plugin Name";
pluginInfo->version = PLUG_VER(Major, Minor, Patch, Build);
