This is a simple mod to change the starting licenses in derail valley to support a steam start or steam only playthrough. It is highly recommended to use the steam only mod along side this.
Building the project requires some initial setup, after which running dotnet build will do a Debug build or running dotnet build -c Release will do a Release build.
After cloning the repository, some setup is required in order to successfully build the mod DLLs. You will need to create a new Directory.Build.targets file to specify your local reference paths. This file will be located in the main directory, next to MOD_NAME.sln.
Below is an example of the necessary structure. When creating your targets file, you will need to replace the reference paths with the corresponding folders on your system. Make sure to include semicolons between each of the paths and no semicolon after the last path. Also note that any shortcuts you might use in file explorer—such as %ProgramFiles%—won't be expanded in these paths. You have to use full, absolute paths.
<Project>
<PropertyGroup>
<ReferencePath>
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Derail Valley\DerailValley_Data\Managed\
</ReferencePath>
<AssemblySearchPaths>$(AssemblySearchPaths);$(ReferencePath);</AssemblySearchPaths>

</Project>It's recommended to use Git's autocrlf mode on Windows. Activate this by running git config --global core.autocrlf true.
To package a build for distribution, you can run the package.ps1 PowerShell script in the root of the project. If no parameters are supplied, it will create a .zip file ready for distribution in the dist directory. A post build event is configured to run this automatically after each successful Release build.
Linux: pwsh ./package.ps1
Windows: powershell -executionpolicy bypass .\package.ps1
Some parameters are available for the packaging script.
Leave the package contents uncompressed in the output directory.
Specify a different output directory.
For instance, this can be used in conjunction with -NoArchive to copy the mod files into your Derail Valley installation directory.
