Ok, I'm dumb.  Where is the link for the download of the theme?

There shouldn't be a dependency on the NewtonSoft library when you're developing a patch, only the main AuroraPatch project itself has that dependency. Not requiring patch creators to pull in that dependency is the whole reason it is abstracted away behind the Patch.Serialize and Patch.Deserialize methods. There should be no reason to pull in the entire AuroraPatch project (or any patch dependencies) to develop a patch. Just take the AuroraPatch.exe file and include a reference to it, the same should be possible with any patch's .dll file when you want to use it as a dependency. Just make sure, when you release your patch, not to include those files in the output.

Yeah the NewtonSoft dependency isn't needed on the patch itself but I felt the need to include the other projects because microsoft studio kept complaining about the project not loading correctly since the T2DTheme was looking for them regardless.

This is my bad - I hooked it up locally so that everything is referencing the project files so AuroraPatch, ThemeCreator, and T2DTheme all get compiled if anything changes. It made my life a bit easier as I was making changes to all three projects at one point.
I'll fix it soon so it references the binaries like 0's and 1's said.

Yes, I plan on adding a font size option tonight.

Font settings are now exposed.

I think this depends on if you want to pull the dependencies from your IDE or using the NuGet command line tool.
I'm developing the patches on Visual Studio 2019, which means the Harmony and Newtonsoft dependencies get pulled in automatically (you can also Right Click the solution and hit Restore NuGet Packages).

EDIT - SOLVED: I managed to resolve my problems by just spamming harmony.dll everywhere and then restoring NuGet packages through all 3 solutions.

This doesn't work I still get:
Code: [Select]
Error CS0246 The type or namespace name 'HarmonyLib' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
Same error code for the Newtonsoft library.

Its weird because both of the modules are properly installed in their respective project package files but for some reason the "using" codelines aren't picking up the library itself.

Edit - Slight correction, only the T2DTheme directory seems to be seeing the harmony package, the "using HarmonyLib" line there actually works now, but the other two projects "Aurorapatch" and "ThemeCreator" are still having issues. I am launching visual studio through the T2DTheme solution file though, is that it?

Edit - Also having problems with this method:
Code: [Select]
protected override void Loaded(Harmony harmony)"no suitable method found to override".

This happens on all instances of the method.

Otherwise I think you can use the following command line: dotnet restore

If you want to build T2DTheme, you'll also need the AuroraPatch and ThemeCreator repositories in the same parent directory as the T2DTheme will specifically go up one directory to look for those dependencies - you can change this behaviour in the build project settings.

Please add a screenshot to the first post so people can instantly see what the colour theme is as well as font size, thanks!

Done!

I was getting errors trying to start Aurora through the patch exe provided. I downloaded the full archive from the main github and it worked fine, so I think your zip file is missing needed files.

And can we get a version of this with the original text size?

Thanks. I don't know why it worked for me. In any case, I've dumped the latest AuroraPatch zip into my package and re-uploaded.

Yes, I plan on adding a font size option tonight.

T2DTheme is dark theme for Aurora with a bumped up font size.
It's the theme I use when playing the game and I'll be iterating/improving on it moving forward.

Installation

This patch requires the AuroraPatch runtime and the ThemeCreator helper patch (both included).

Extract/copy all the files from the attached zip into your Aurora folder.

Running

Run AuroraPatch.exe from inside the Aurora directory.

Code

You can optionally access the code and build yourself and/or fork it to create your own theme.

AuroraPatch source code can be found here: https://github.com/Aurora-Modders/AuroraPatch
ThemeCreator source code can be found here: https://github.com/Aurora-Modders/ThemeCreator
T2DTheme source code can be found here: https://github.com/Aurora-Modders/T2DTheme

How do I get the harmony library to work when developing a patch? I'm trying to modify the T2DTheme to my own ends but I cannot build because there seems to be no reference to the harmony library anywhere. Where am I supposed to be placing 0Harmony.dll and how do I reference it in the project?

Edit - I should say that packaged.config has this line for all 3 projects and that:
Code: [Select]
<package id="Lib.Harmony" version="2.0.0.10" targetFramework="net40" />
The source files also have
Code: [Select]
using HarmonyLib
I also have the same problem with the newtonsoft library.
