olmod 0.5.5 - Overload mod
Community mods for Overload
https://github.com/overload-development-community/olmod
Overload is a registered trademark of Revival Productions, LLC. This is an
unaffiliated, unsupported tool. Use at your own risk.
How to run
----------
- Extract olmod in the Overload main directory
(where `Overload.exe` / `Overload.x86_64` / `Overload.app` is also located).
- On linux / mac, execute `chmod +x olmod.sh` from the terminal after changing to the correct directory.
For example after `cd "~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Overload"`
- Run `olmod.exe` / `olmod.sh` (linux / mac) instead of `Overload.exe`
On mac you might get a warning about `olmod.dylib`, you can add an exception in
System Preferences, Security & Privacy, General.
- Use `olmodserver.bat` / `olmodserver.sh` (linux) to start a LAN server,
use `olmodserverinet.bat` / `olmodserverinet.sh` (linux) to start an
internet server. For the internet server you need to open UDP port range
7000-8001
What does it do
---------------
- Allows access to the unfinished Monsterball multiplayer mode (with tweaks by terminal). The Monsterball multiplayer mode only works when both server and clients run olmod.
- Puts a MP player in observer mode if it uses a pilot name starting with OBSERVER. The observer mode only works when the server and the observer client run olmod.
- Reads `<level name>-projdata.txt` / `<level name>-robotdata.txt` for levels, `<mission name>-projdata.txt` / `<level name>-robotdata.txt` for missions, and `projdata.txt` / `robotdata.txt` in the olmod directory for testing. These files can have custom projectile (weapon) and robot settings. You can extract the stock data from the game with the included tool `olgetdata`. The txt files must be in the same directory as olmod.exe. You can run olgetdata on linux with `mono olgetdata.exe`. They can either go in the olmod directory, or map makers can add them to their map .zip files.

How does it work
----------------
The regular Overload.exe just runs UnityMain from UnityPlayer.dll. The
replacement olmod.exe also runs UnityMain, but intercepts calls from Unity
to the mono C# engine to also load GameMod.dll. The file GameMod.dll
contains a C# class that uses Harmony to modify the game scripting code in
memory.
