How to get BepInEx to work

[SyndZ]

Hi,
I'd like to install mods on the server (starting with BepInEx etc.), but i cant manage to make it work on the server : Where do i need to drop the files in /mnt/vrising/server ? Is there some extra steps needed ?
Thanks for your time.

I have no idea. I would assume this should be in /persistentdata somewhere. (so the equivalent volume path on your host). Please keep us posted if you figured this out.

Hi TrueOsiris,
The docker image needs to have the Wine load order for the winhttp DLL changed to "Native then Builtin". Winecfg can be used to easily make this change. This should allow BepInEx to load.

Alternatively a new environment variable can be added in the container settings:
WINEDLLOVERRIDES=winhttp=n,b

Keep in mind BepInEx is still in active development for the 1.0 release and the developers have not released a stable build yet.

have you made it? i tried some actions including editing start.sh by editing
"DISPLAY=:0.0 wine64 /mnt/vrising/server/VRisingServer.exe -persistentDataP..." with "--doorstop-enabled true"
but it got nothing

Also curious if anyone has got this to work

Native then Builtin

This ought to be the default.
And I have trouble finding out how to use winecfg command line. Still need some assistance with this.

@jobsidi What are we waiting for? BepInEx already works with v1.0 if you leverage their pre-release:

check how it works pls. Its bepinex only. No working addons.

[srmeier]

There are a lot of different addons, which one are you waiting for?

I am fine if we can get BepInEx working alone. Then I can load my own addon.

I've had no luck so far getting BepInEx to load correctly in a docker container in v1.0. Loads fine in native Windows, but in a container I can get as far as BepInEx creating the config and subfolders, then crashes with the attached error.
ErrorLog.log

Server log shows: 0024:err:eventlog:ReportEventW L"Description: The process was terminated due to an internal error in the .NET Runtime at IP 00006FFFECC81FDD (00006FFFECAB0000) with exit code c0000005.\n"

[TrueOsiris]

ah ... we would need to add .Net dlls.
I did this a couple of years ago. A ton of work. I'll look in to it.

Hey TrueOsiris, thanks for looking into it. BepInEx is using .NET 6.0.7. The latest version of winetricks has dotnet6 available.
Also here's a link to how avivace implemented BepInEx into their RoR2 container config, if it's helpful.
