# Linux BSIPA Build Reference
|
|
|
|
## Source Notes
|
|
|
|
This workflow comes from `/home/pleb/ops/beatsaber/setlist/docs/pc-modding.md` and `/home/pleb/ops/beatsaber/setlist/docs/bootstrap.md`. Prefer those local files and local clones under `~/src` over web copies when deeper reference material is needed.
|
|
|
|
## Toolchain
|
|
|
|
- PC BSIPA plugins are usually .NET Framework `net472` class libraries.
|
|
- Linux `dotnet` SDK 6+ can build them because output DLLs are platform-agnostic CIL loaded by Beat Saber under Proton.
|
|
- `BeatSaberModdingTools.Tasks` supplies the MSBuild targets normally driven by Visual Studio/Rider BSMT extensions.
|
|
- On this host, `dotnet --list-sdks` should show a usable SDK. NuGet is available for package inspection.
|
|
|
|
## Game References
|
|
|
|
Point `BeatSaberDir` at a modded BSManager instance containing:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
Beat Saber.exe
|
|
Beat Saber_Data/Managed/
|
|
IPA/
|
|
Libs/
|
|
Plugins/
|
|
winhttp.dll
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Preferred local managed instance root:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
/home/pleb/.local/share/BSManager/BSInstances/<version>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Windows mirror root:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
/home/pleb/Windows/Users/pleb/BSManager/BSInstances/<version>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Use `BeatSaberVersion.txt` for the exact game version. The manifest `gameVersion` normally uses the `major.minor.patch` prefix, not the build suffix.
|
|
|
|
## Project Configuration
|
|
|
|
Prefer machine-local configuration in `<Project>.csproj.user`:
|
|
|
|
```xml
|
|
<Project>
|
|
<PropertyGroup>
|
|
<BeatSaberDir>/home/pleb/.local/share/BSManager/BSInstances/1.40.8</BeatSaberDir>
|
|
</PropertyGroup>
|
|
</Project>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Some projects use `LocalRefsDir` and set:
|
|
|
|
```xml
|
|
<BeatSaberDir>$(LocalRefsDir)</BeatSaberDir>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For those, pass `-p:LocalRefsDir=/path/to/instance` or add a local `.csproj.user` property if the project imports it.
|
|
|
|
When changing a project file for Linux portability, prefer the smallest explicit fix:
|
|
|
|
- Add `Microsoft.NETFramework.ReferenceAssemblies.net472` when MSBuild reports missing .NET Framework reference assemblies.
|
|
- Set or pass `DisableCopyToPlugins=True` for artifact-only builds.
|
|
- Keep hint paths rooted at `$(BeatSaberDir)` where possible.
|
|
- Do not add broad multi-version compatibility logic unless requested.
|
|
|
|
## Build Commands
|
|
|
|
From the plugin checkout:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
dotnet restore <solution-or-project>
|
|
dotnet build <solution-or-project> -c Release -p:DisableCopyToPlugins=True
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For a Debug smoke build:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
dotnet build <solution-or-project> -c Debug -p:DisableCopyToPlugins=True
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Expected outputs:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
bin/Debug/<Plugin>.dll
|
|
bin/Release/<Plugin>.dll
|
|
bin/Release/zip/<Plugin>-<version>.zip
|
|
bin/<Configuration>/Artifact/Plugins/<Plugin>.dll
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The exact layout depends on BSMT version and project customization.
|
|
|
|
## BSMT Copy Behavior
|
|
|
|
`BeatSaberModdingTools.Tasks` may copy built DLLs into the game directory. On Unix hosts, its process check can behave differently and some projects add a custom target to copy into `<BeatSaberDir>/Plugins/`.
|
|
|
|
For builds that should not alter a live instance, pass both property names; different BSMT projects/targets surface different copy switches:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
-p:DisableCopyToPlugins=True -p:DisableCopyToGame=True
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If the purpose is to install the built artifact, copy it into plugin-helper's state downloads and use `plugin-helper plan/apply`, or follow `docs/SMOKETEST.md` for intentional live validation.
|
|
|
|
## Common Reference Failures
|
|
|
|
- `MSB3644` or missing `.NETFramework,Version=v4.7.2` reference assemblies: add `Microsoft.NETFramework.ReferenceAssemblies.net472`.
|
|
- Missing game assemblies such as `Main.dll`, `HMUI.dll`, `UnityEngine.CoreModule.dll`: `BeatSaberDir` is wrong or incomplete.
|
|
- Missing mod dependencies such as `BSML.dll`, `SongCore.dll`, `SiraUtil.dll`, `BeatSaberPlaylistsLib.dll`: install or point at an instance containing those plugins, or fetch the dependency DLL from its verified release only when appropriate.
|
|
- `IPA.Loader.dll` missing: BSIPA is not bootstrapped in that instance.
|
|
|
|
## Artifact Handoff To plugin-helper
|
|
|
|
For a built plugin DLL intended for a managed instance:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
mkdir -p .state/instances/<instance>/downloads/<plugin-id>
|
|
cp <checkout>/<path>/bin/Release/<Plugin>.dll .state/instances/<instance>/downloads/<plugin-id>/<Plugin>.dll
|
|
sha256sum .state/instances/<instance>/downloads/<plugin-id>/<Plugin>.dll
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then update registry/lock data only if the user asked to manage/install the artifact, and use:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
PYTHONPATH=src python -m plugin_helper --state-dir .state check --instance <instance>
|
|
PYTHONPATH=src python -m plugin_helper --state-dir .state plan --instance <instance> --plugin <plugin-id>
|
|
PYTHONPATH=src python -m plugin_helper --state-dir .state apply <plan-path>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Inspect the generated plan before applying.
