> **Note:** This repo is by [XeTrinityz](https://github.com/XeTrinityz) created from the [original project](https://github.com/lukas0x1/sml-pc) by [Lukas](https://github.com/lukas0x1) which is no longer maintained. This repo includes significant optimizations and enhancements to the original codebase.
## Overview
ThatSkyLoader is a powerful mod loader for Sky: Children of the Light on PC. It integrates with the game through a Vulkan layer, allowing for dynamic loading and management of mods without modifying the original game files.
## Features
- **Dynamic Mod Loading**: Load and unload mods at runtime
- **User-Friendly Interface**: ImGui-based interface for managing mods
- **Mod Management**: Enable/disable mods individually
- **Custom Font Support**: Configurable font settings for the mod interface
- **Vulkan Integration**: Seamless integration with the game's rendering pipeline
## Prerequisites
- Windows 10 or later
- Visual Studio 2022 with C++ development tools
- CMake 3.20 or higher
- x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2022
## Installation
### 1. Clone the Repository
```sh
git clone https://github.com/XeTrinityz/ThatSkyLoader.git
cd ThatSkyLoader
```
### 2. Extract Dependencies
Before building, extract the compressed library files:
```sh
# Extract libmem.7z in the lib/release directory
7z x lib/release/libmem.7z -o./lib/release/
```
### 3. Build the Project
Due to linking issues with libmem in Visual Studio, build using the command line:
```cmd
# Open x64 Native Tools Command Prompt for VS 2022
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -G "NMake Makefiles" -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE="Release"
nmake
```
### 4. Installation
After building, the mod loader will be available as `powrprof.dll` in the `lib/release` directory. To install:
1. Copy `powrprof.dll` to your Sky: Children of the Light installation directory
2. Create a `mods` folder in the same directory if it doesn't exist
3. Place your mod files (`.dll`) in the `mods` folder
## Usage
1. Launch Sky: Children of the Light
2. Use the interface to enable/disable mods
3. Enjoy your modded gameplay experience!
## Creating Mods
Mods for ThatSkyLoader are DLL files that follow a specific API. A basic mod structure includes:
```cpp
// Example mod structure
extern "C" {
// Required mod info function
__declspec(dllexport) ModInfo GetModInfo() {
ModInfo info;
info.name = "Example Mod";
info.version = "1.0.0";
info.author = "Your Name";
info.description = "A simple example mod";
return info;
}
// Called when the mod is loaded
__declspec(dllexport) bool OnLoad() {
// Initialization code
return true;
}
// Called when the mod is unloaded
__declspec(dllexport) void OnUnload() {
// Cleanup code
}
}
```
