HAT - Simple mod loader for FEZ

Overview

HAT is a MonoMod-based mod loader for FEZ, currently in development. Its main purpose is to make process of FEZ modding slightly easier for end user.

When patched into the FEZ instance, it can be used to dynamically load game modifications on the game launch. Correctly prepared mods can add/override game assets or inject its own logic through custom-made plugin.

Installing mod loader

1. Download latest HAT.zip from Release tab and unpack it in the game's directory (next to the FEZ.exe).
2. Run hat_install.bat (for Windows) or hat_install.sh (for Linux). This should generate new executable file called MONOMODDED_FEZ.exe.
3. Run MONOMODDED_FEZ.exe and enjoy modding!

In the future, this process will be automated by a custom-made installer/mod manager (something like Olympus for Celeste's Everest).

Adding mods

1. On first HAT launch, Mods directory should be created in the executable's directory. If not, create it.
2. Download the mod's archive and put it in this directory.
3. Start the game with MONOMODDED_FEZ.exe and enjoy your mod!

It's that simple!

Building HAT

HAT is now using stripped game binaries and NuGet packages for building process, so it is not required to configure anything. Building HAT libraries should be as easy as cloning the repository and running the building process within the IDE of your choice (or through dotnet CLI if that's your thing).
