Creating a mod menu for IL2CPP (Unity) and native games typically involves reverse engineering and modifying the game's code. Here's a general outline of the steps involved:
- Understand IL2CPP and game structure: IL2CPP is a Unity technology that compiles C# code into native C++ code. Familiarize yourself with the IL2CPP process and how it affects game files and structure.
- Reverse engineering: Use tools like IDA Pro, dnSpy, or IL2CPP Dumper to reverse engineer the game's executable file and analyze its code. Reverse engineering helps you understand the game's internal structure and find the desired functionalities to modify.
- Identify modding opportunities: Look for potential areas where you can inject your modifications. This could include finding function hooks, memory addresses, or specific code blocks that can be modified to achieve your desired effects.
- Modify game code: Once you've identified the code sections to modify, use a code editor (such as Visual Studio) to make the necessary changes. This can involve adding, removing, or modifying code to implement the features you want for your mod menu.
- Inject the mod menu: Create a separate DLL (Dynamic Link Library) file that will act as your mod menu. The DLL should contain the code for your modded features, such as cheats, UI, and other modifications. Implement the necessary hooks and injections to integrate the mod menu into the game.
- Testing and debugging: Test your mod menu extensively to ensure it works correctly and doesn't cause any crashes or conflicts with the game. Debugging tools like Cheat Engine or Visual Studio can be helpful for troubleshooting any issues that arise.
- Packaging and distribution: Once your mod menu is working as intended, package it into a distributable format (such as a ZIP file) along with any necessary instructions. Ensure that you comply with legal and ethical guidelines when distributing your mod.
