How to attach object viewer to the game

[FlameHorizon]

@Albeoris Can you please explain, how have you attached object viewer mentioned here (#179 (comment)) to the game?

0. Make sure the launcher is running x64 version of the game.
1. Extract the latest release of BepInEx 5 x64 to the game folder.
2. Extract the latest release of UnityExplorer (BepInEx5.Mono) to FF9\BepInEx\plugins
3. Run the game.

Also you can try BepInEx 6 x64 (BepInEx Unity Mono for Windows x64 games) with UnityExplorer for BepInEx6.Mono

Please write if you succeeded or not.

Please ask for help on BepInEx Discord server:

I ask them on the Discord, it's seems BepInEx is not compatible with FF9, explanations by one of the dev (Horse) :

Pretty sure all FF games that are made in Unity have the game assemblies encrypted
I remember a few people reporting similar errors, the reason simply is that the game has encrypted assemblies
You can try changing the entry point as per guides in https://docs.bepinex.dev/articles/user_guide/troubleshooting.html#unity-5-and-older but I doubt it will help here
Also yeah, for UnityMono games you should be using BepInEx 5 for now

I tried with other entry points but the BepInEx have difficulties to read the .bin files from the game... sad :(
This tool would have been so good to help my mod but Tirlititi showed me how to use the Memoria.Client.exe.

Ok, it's not a problem, we just cannot use the BepInEx.
You can try UnityExplorer for MelonLoader.
If no success, we can use the Standalone UnityExplorer and load it in game via Assembly.Load

@DV666, good day, what the end of this story? :) I guess we can include auto-install some of mod loader or write a new one to run UnityExplorer in the game.

Hi @Albeoris! Really sorry for the response time... I don't use the “Discussions” tab very often ^^'
This story is quite old for me, and for my part, I gave up on this idea for FF9 (long time ago, I had tested for FF PR out of curiosity and had no trouble using for that.)
At the moment, I don't need BepInEx for my projects anymore... let's just say I've gained a bit of experience since then ^^ (well, even if I'm still far from having the level in C# hehe :p).

I'd also like to take this opportunity to leave you a message here, as I'd like to know whether me and @SamsamTS can have more rights to the Memoria repo? (to pull our own PRs).
For me, it's mainly for catalog updates, since Trance Seek is often updated. (For the rest, I always ask Tir for validation as i shared some ideas with him, like the SA extended system : 54ca196).
I sent you a message on Discord on April 7 but didn't get answer yet... I suppose you don't use Discord much (or you are flooded by MPs ^^)
I work a lot with @Tirlititi and @snouz and they know about this request too: do you think it would be possible?
I'll understand if you refuse :)

Thanks in advance for your answer !
