The Dust: AET Patching Platform is used to modify and override code in Dust: AET as to improve how it runs and to fix bugs. The platform contains an exception catcher and runtime method replacement functions. Patches are compiled as DLLs that are loaded by the platform when the game runs. Patch files are loaded from the "patches" subfolder in the game folder.

To implement a patch, reference DustAetPatchingPlatform.dll, and implement the ILoader interface. The Priority property determines loading order. By default it is 1000, but you may use a lower number for a higher loading priority. Put your patch code in the Load() function. If you need to wait until the game fully loads, make a new function and call Platform.RegisterLoadAfterGameInit() with it.

This project contains code from Ziad Elmalki's CLR Injection: Runtime Method Replacer article.
