🛠️ Building

Note

Building this plugin requires 64-bit Windows and the MSVC toolchain

• Due to reliance on the Windows SDK and the need for ABI compatibility with Rocket League

1. Initialize Submodules

Run ./scripts/init-submodules.bat after cloning the repo to initialize the submodules optimally.

🔍 Why this instead of git submodule update --init --recursive ?

Avoids downloading 200MB of history for the nlohmann/json library

Ensures Git can track submodule updates

2. Set up vcpkg

This project uses DirectXTex and MinHook which are installed via vcpkg. Do one of the following:

• Install vcpkg (if you dont already have it):

  git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg.git ./vcpkg
  ./vcpkg/bootstrap-vcpkg.bat

• Use an existing vcpkg installation by specifying it in a ./CMakeUserPresets.json:

  {
      "version": 10,
      "configurePresets": [
          {
              "name": "windows-x64-msvc-with-my-vcpkg",
              "inherits": "windows-x64-msvc",
              "cacheVariables": {
                  "CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE": "C:/<your vcpkg path>/scripts/buildsystems/vcpkg.cmake"
              }
          }
      ]
  }

➡️ Now when you build the project for the first time, vcpkg will build/install the dependencies listed in ./vcpkg.json.

More info: vcpkg manifest mode

3. Build with CMake

Note

Before building with CMake, the MSVC environment must be initialized. This is normally handled automatically by IDEs or certain editor extensions like CMake Tools, but if you're building from the command line, use one of the following methods:

• Use an appropriate Windows terminal profile:
  • Developer PowerShell for VS 2022
  • Developer Command Prompt for VS 2022
• Or run this script once per shell session:

  C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\VC\Auxiliary\Build\vcvars64.bat
  

1. Install CMake and Ninja (or another build system if you're not using Ninja)
2. Run cmake --preset windows-x64-msvc (or a custom preset in CMakeUserPresets.json) to generate build files in ./build
3. Run cmake --build build
   • The built binaries will be in ./plugins
