Object Inspectors

An essential tool for modding is a game object inspector.

Runtime Unity Editor

Runtime Unity Editor (RUE) is a tool that we can use to look at different components in-game while playing. It will allow us to find objects by name, components attached to GameObjects, and tweak properties of these while the game is running.

It's important to get used to using RUE because figuring out the game through code will take ten times as much trial-and-error. In order to get RUE, currently, you can download it from a pinned message you will find in the #pc-mod-dev channel in the BSMG discord.

You will have to manually install RUE by dragging the Libs and Plugins within the zip into your game. Once installed, you can open the game in FPFC mode, then press G to open RUE.

You can configure the keybinding in /UserData/Runtime Unity Editor (BSIPA).json which is recommended because G is also the default keybinding for SiraUtil's FPFC toggle feature.

UnityExplorer

An alternative to Runtime Unity Editor is UnityExplorer, which is also regularly used for Beat Saber modding. You can find all details on how to install UnityExplorer here, but, because we use BSIPA, you will have to either build it yourself or search around in BSMG for someone who has already done this.
