Scripting (for modmakers)

1. Make a copy of an existing item from the "StreamingAssets\Scripts" folder.
2. Change a namespace to your own.
3. Make some changes.
4. Run Memoria.Compiler.exe from the "Compiler".
5. Run the game, test all of you can and see Memoria.log and output_log.txt for errors.

Now you can change mechanics of battle actions. In the future I will add more scriptable entries. Also you can use a Visual Studio project from the "Project" folder. It will load every .cs file from the "Sources\Battle" folder. Be careful - future updates could remove your changes. Please make your own copies if it possible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cU4T3GSIjxs

Restrictions (for developers)

1. Please don't change any data that can be sent to the game server! We don't want any trouble.
2. Don't change a serializable data that can be deserialized by the Unity Engine. The game will crash or corrupt.

Debugging (for developers)

1. Check the "Debuggable" checkbox in the Launcher.
2. Attach to the game process (Debug -> Attach Unity Debugger in the Visual Studio 2015/2017 Tools for Unity)
