How to build

Command to build the project:

dotnet build

Your plugin is now compiled to a DLL file in the Template/bin with the name Template.dll.

Change build behavior

By default, when the project is built, the following steps are executed:

• The plugin's DLL is copied to the game plugin directory.
• The opened clients are closed.
• The game is launched.

The steps are defined in the Template.csproj file.

Check the configuration section for the available variables to modify the build steps.

Examples:

• Build without starting the game:

dotnet build -p:StartGame=false

• Build and start 2 instances of the game:

dotnet build -p:StartGame=true -p:NumberOfClients=2
