Foreword
If you are not a developer or do not plan to add and use DP scripts, then you should follow the steps below to improve the loading speed. (This should also be done when you release your mod)
1) Delete DynamicPatcher.dll.
2) Rename DynamicPatcher_RELEASE.dll to DynamicPatcher.dll.
Note
1. ‘nores’ is for Non-Developer.
2. This package is prepared for non-developers, uses DynamicPatcher-2.0-debug, does not contain Source Code.
3. This version and later versions use the development version DP by default and also come with the release version DP. If you need to publish, you can rename and override yourself.
4. If you have already used the pre-packaging of this project, it is recommended to delete all of them and then overwrite them.
5. Build7 is different from the previous version. Due to the updated DP2.0, you must completely delete the folder i]"DynamicPatcher"[/i], and then add this package.
6. DP2.0 no longer needs to add administrator privileges to syringe.exe and gamemd.exe. If you encounter online synchronization failures, you can try to remove administrator privileges.
You must completely delete the folder "DynamicPatcher", and then add this package.
7. Fixed the spelling error Form of Stand.PromoteFormMaster, the correct spelling is Stand.PromoteFromMaster is From. At the same time, the default values of some Stands have been changed.
