TerraUtil.BuildSystem

The better build system for tModLoader, the mod loader for Terraria.

Based on this pull request by Chik3r, with modifications made by me.

Features

  • build.txt properties moved to the .csproj.
  • tModLoader.targets is automatically imported.
  • The output .tmod file is also located in the bin folder.
  • Moved buildIgnore to a .buildignore file that uses the same syntax as .gitignore.
  • All references - <Reference>, <ProjectReference>, <PackageReference>, and <ModReference> - are done inside the .csproj and are automatically added to the mod file.
    • Note that dll references must be located inside the mod's folder (e.g. under ModSources/ModName/ and it's subfolders) in order to be packaged. This is due to restrictions with MSBuild and may be changed in the future.
  • The mod's code can be located outside of ModSources and still function properly. This works by symlinking the mod into ModSources.
    • The IDE used to build the mod or dotnet build must be run with admin privileges when first creating the symlink, since it requires admin access. Subsequent builds do not require this.
    • This may be changed to opt-in sometime in the future.
  • Allowed changing the internal name of a mod through the .csproj with <InternalName>.
    • This requires the mods code to be outside of ModSources because the name of the folder in ModSources is normally used to determine the internal name.
  • The root namespace and assembly name of the mod are automatically set to the internal name.
    • This may be changed in the future, let me know if you have any issues with this.
