Quick Video Demonstration

Installation

Windows

1. Download the latest release from here.
2. Extract the .zip archive anywhere you want.
3. Run irony_injector.exe from the extracted archive.
4. Launch the game using Steam.
5. Once in the game, press Tab to open the UI.

(You can also run irony_injector.exe after the game already started.)

Linux

1. Download the latest release from here.

2. Extract the .zip archive anywhere you want.

3. Launch the game using Steam.

4. Use proton to run irony_injector.exe with only_inject command line argument inside the same Wine prefix that the game is running in:

   • For native Steam installation the command looks something like this:

   STEAM_COMPAT_CLIENT_INSTALL_PATH=$HOME/.local/share/Steam \
   STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH=$HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1778820 \
   WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1778820/pfx \
   $HOME/.local/share/Steam/compatibilitytools.d/GE-Proton10-20/proton run \
   Z:/home/user_name/path_to_irony_folder/irony_injector.exe only_inject
   

   • For flatpak Steam installation the command looks something like this:

   flatpak run --command=bash com.valvesoftware.Steam -c '
   STEAM_COMPAT_CLIENT_INSTALL_PATH=$HOME/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.steam/root \
   STEAM_COMPAT_DATA_PATH=$HOME/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.local/share/Steam/steamapp/compatdata/1778820 \
   WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.loca/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/1778820/pfx \
   $HOME/.var/app/com.valvesoftware.Steam/.steam/roo/compatibilitytools.d/GE-Proton10-20/proton run \
   Z:/home/user_name/path_to_irony_folder/irony_injector.exe only_inject
   '
   

   • Modify the command to reflect location of steamapps directory you installed the game in, version of proton you are running the game with and location of your Irony directory.
   • Alternatively you can use Steam Tinker Launch to launch the injector along with the game.

5. Once injected, press Tab to open the UI.

(If you use the above commands to run irony_injector.exe before starting the game, the launch will stall, making the game never start up.)

Building From Source

Take a look inside the build.zig.zon file. Under the property .zig_version there is a version of the Zig programming language that the project is to be compiled with. Install that version of the ZIG compiler onto your machine using the official Zig tutorial.

Make sure that your version of the Zig compiler matches the .zig_version, execute:

zig version

To build the project in debug mode set your current directory to the repository root and execute:

zig build

To build the project in release mode execute:

zig build --release=fast

Ether way, after the compilation is over the binaries will be placed inside zig-out/bin.

To run the application while developing execute:

zig build run

If you have only one of the games running you can disable the compilation of the other game's DLL by game using -Dt7=false or -Dt8=false command line arguments:

zig build run -Dt7=false
zig build run -Dt8=false

To run the project's tests execute:

zig build test

If you are on Linux, the tests will run inside Wine. Make sure you have Wine installed and make sure that your default Wine prefix has dxvk and vkd3d installed. You can use the following command to install these:

winetricks dxvk vkd3d

Not Open Source

While this application is free to download and it's source code is publicly available for inspection, the license that the code is under limits the legal rights of the public in a way that makes this software NOT open source. A more accurate way to describe this software is "source-available". For more details look at the license.
