Hi all,
Good job on what you have figured out so far (also yes that’s a link to my modding tools repo at the top of the thread)! There’s a lot of research that needs to go into this topic and it’s silly that the information is so incredibly difficult to come by, which tends to leave games with suboptimal mod support.
That’s why I’ve done a ton of the research myself and have written a guide, aimed at game devs, that provides a fairly high level but extensive overview of all currently known mod support methods.
Please let me know if you have any questions or extra thoughts you may have for it. Thanks!
