Struct MelonLoader 

pub struct MelonLoader { /* private fields */ }

Loader implementation for MelonLoader, a mod loader for Unity games.

MelonLoader supports two installation schemes:

• Legacy — routes files to UserLibs, Plugins, MelonLoader/Managed, MelonLoader/Libs, MelonLoader, Mods, and UserData/ModManager.
• Recursive — routes all files into Mods and keeps UserData for mutable config.

Examples

use loadsmith_loader::{MelonLoader, Loader};

let loader = MelonLoader::with_default_legacy_rules();
assert_eq!(loader.id(), "MelonLoader");

Implementations

impl MelonLoader

pub fn with_rules(package_install_ruleset: OwnedInstallRuleset) -> Self

Creates a MelonLoader with a custom install ruleset.

pub fn with_default_legacy_rules() -> Self

Creates a MelonLoader with the legacy install rules (original per-directory routing).

pub fn with_default_recursive_rules() -> Self

Creates a MelonLoader with the recursive install rules (all files go into Mods).

pub fn set_exclude(&mut self, exclude: GlobSet)

Sets a glob set of files to exclude from installation.

pub fn add_install_rule(&mut self, rule: InstallRule)

Adds an install rule to the end of the ruleset.
