UPDATED TO VERSION 1.2
This mod has been updated for the newest version of Outward, and it has been ported from Partiality to BepInEx. Therefore, the BepInEx Partiality wrapper is no longer needed as in past versions.

Info
This simple mod allows for the resistances from the Lantern of Souls to apply when it is attached to an equipped bag (meaning it must be hanging from the bag and not just sitting in the inventory). You no longer need to hold the lantern to receive the resistances unless you want to do so, and holding the lantern is still required in order to cast Flamethrower.

Installation

This mod only needs BepInEx to run. Do not use the Partiality launcher or it will break the mod (the Partiality wrapper for BepInEx is fine).

If BepInEx is not installed:
  • Make sure you are on the mono branch of Outward (see above)
  • Download BepInEx 5.1.0 here (or the next latest version). Make sure to download the x64 (64-bit) version, or the Unix version if you are on Mac or Linux.
  • Place the zip in your game installation folder, eg. for Outward: Outward\BepInEx.zip.
  • Right-click the file and choose "Extract here" to merge with the folder structure.
    • It should create a folder Outward\BepInEx\, and two files: Outward\doorstop_config.ini and Outward\winhttp.dll
    • NOTE: make sure it did not extract into a second sub-folder, it should look like "Outward\BepInEx\core\", and you should see "Outward\winhttp.dll" and "Outward\doorstop_config.ini".
  • [Optional] Run the game once, and then close it, to confirm it is working.
    • If it started successfully, it will create a file Outward\BepInEx\LogOutput.log
    • If it didn't create the log file, check the Troubleshooting section below.


If/After BepInEx is installed:
   1. Place "LanternOfSoulsMod.dll" in the Outward\BepInEx\plugins\ folder, or in a sub-folder of the plugins folder.
   2. Run the game!

Troubleshooting
  • (Steam / GoG users) Make sure your game is set to the Mono branch! Sometimes your launcher may revert to the main branch.
  • Try restarting your game launcher (Steam / GoG / Epic) and trying again.
  • Do you have an error in the "BepInEx\LogOutput.log" file about "enabling the .NET Harmony runtime fix"? If so, you should backup your Outward\SaveGames\ directory, delete the Outward folder and do a complete re-install of Outward.
  • Right-click Outward.exe and click Properties > Compatibility, and make sure you are not running the game in compatibility mode for Windows 8. You can disable compatibility or use Windows 7 mode.
  • Some Windows systems may block the DLL files because they're from a different computer. To fix this, right-click the DLL file and select Properties > Unblock (button down the bottom). You should check this for the winhttp.dll file in the main Outward folder, as well as the DLLs in the Outward\BepInEx\core\ folder.
  • Make sure that you have any 4.0+ .NET Framework installed.
  • You can backup your Outward\SaveGames folder, and do a complete re-installation of Outward and BepInEx.


If none of the above work, please reach out to me, and include any information related to the error (i.e. log files, steps taken, etc.).
