Struct Shimloader 

pub struct Shimloader { /* private fields */ }

Loader implementation for Unreal Shimloader, a UE4SS-based mod loader for games like HoloCure.

Routes packages into shimloader/mod, shimloader/pak (.pak files only), shimloader/cfg (mutable, flat), and shimloader/overlay. The loader uses dwmapi.dll as its proxy DLL.

Examples

use loadsmith_loader::{Shimloader, Loader};

let loader = Shimloader::with_default_rules();
assert_eq!(loader.id(), "Shimloader");

Implementations

impl Shimloader

pub fn with_rules(package_install_ruleset: OwnedInstallRuleset) -> Self

Creates a Shimloader with a custom install ruleset.

pub fn with_default_rules() -> Self

Creates a Shimloader with the default rules.

Default routes:

• shimloader/mod — default rule
• shimloader/pak (files with .pak extension)
• shimloader/cfg (mutable, flat)
• shimloader/overlay
