Hello! I am not usually one to be skeptical from Nexus Mods, but the message from the game when I go to load this scares the daylights out of me. Can someone please help put my mind at ease before I use this?
This mod requires Full access. Software inc official wiki says:
By default, certain namespaces and types are off-limits to mods for security reasons. If you want to make a mod that writes to files or accesses the internet, you need to put a public static bool called GiveMeFreedom in your ModMeta implementation. Note that this only works for dll-based mods, which can't be uploaded to the Steam Workshop, and the user will be warned.
This is why I'm uploading it to Nexus Mods instead of Steam Workshop. This is why the message appears.
The reason full access is required is because the following namespaces are used to load external DLLs (Harmony, MonoMod). src/HarmonyLoader.cs lines:4-5: using System.Reflection; using System.IO; See the source code in the src directory. It doesn't use anything other than what's there or external DLLs, so if you're skeptical you can build it yourself. It's a very simple code, only 64 lines. The code in this mod does not access the internet or any files other than external DLLs. However, full access mods don't mean can't access the internet or your files, so if you're unsure, it's best not to use them.
