VRising Database

Install BepInEx IL2CPP x64 version from this page (either into VRising or VRising_Server, depending on what you wanna mod): https://builds.bepinex.dev/projects/bepinex_be
Run the game, it should create unhollowed dll’s under this folder: {steamfolder}\steamapps\common\VRising\BepInEx\unhollowed
Follow to the tutorial: https://docs.bepinex.dev/articles/dev_guide/plugin_tutorial/index.html Please note that you need to use the il2cpp template, use the following commands:
```
dotnet new -i BepInEx.Templates --nuget-source https://nuget.bepinex.dev/v3/index.json
dotnet new bep6plugin_il2cpp -n VRising.TestPlugin2
```
Your csproj file should look like this, change to your steam library path, if you are working on a server mod then add \VRising_Server to the end (I know it’s a lot, just simplifies things):
