Yet Another Repo Reloader(YARR)
by Church Guard
***Installation***
 Note:
   This mod must be lazy loaded(https://www.nexusmods.com/darksouls3/mods/677)
   into Dark Souls III
 0) Install Lazy Loader
 1)Copy YetAnotherRepoReloader.dll into Lazy Loader's dllMods(folder)
 2) Copy YARR_Config.ini into the same directory as DarkSoulsIII.exe
 3) Copy the YARR folder into the same directory as DarkSoulsIII.exe
 
***ChangeLog***
 v0.0.1 - init
 v0.0.2 - added png support, pngs get converted to dds files in memory allowing
          you to not have to worry about dds file formats or having an editor
  for that file type.
 v0.0.3 - YARR now makes its own Direct X instance to prevent non-thread safe
          actions to prevent crashes.
 v0.0.4 - Updated For DS3 1.15.1
 
***How to use***
 Place .dds textures into the dds folder within the YARR folder. The dds file 
 filename should be the texture name Dark Souls III would use to reference 
 said texture. For pngs it works the same but files go in the png folder.
  Example:
    WP_A_1616_a.dds would replace WP_A_1616_a
  Note:
   Any texture that is part of the HUD isn't supported since those are loaded 
   into seperate system called Scaleform which is its own mess, maybe I'll
   figure that out later.
   
 If a file is updated in the dds folder it will be reloaded into the game 
 when the map loads, so do something to trigger a map reload to trigger a
 YARR reload.
  Examples:
    Quit to title then load back in; Homeward bone; etc.
***About***
 YARR is a tool design to allow "hot" reloading of dds textures even if the
 game normally wouldn't allow it.
 
 It should(<- Keyword) be safe to use online but I can't test with the
 official servers right now(now being 4/4/2022), so there's that.
 
 This is an alpha build and not the most polished so some technical know how
 may be required.
 
 There may be issues so please do report them in the bugs tab but don't
 expect rapid updates because Elden Ring.
 
 In the future hopefully I'll be able to add more file types but as of now
 its just dds files.
