A console window should open before the game starts if the installation was successful.

To disable this console window, pass `--no-console` to the game.

    - Or run `ipa -rn` in a command window
2. Done

## How To Develop

1. Create a new **Class Library** C# project (.NET 4.6)
2. Download a release and add **IPA.Loader.dll** to your references
3. Implement `IBeatSaberPlugin` or `IEnhancedBeatSaberPlugin`
4. Build the project and copy the DLL into the Plugins folder of the game.

## How To Keep The Game Patched

BSIPA will automatically repatch the game when it updates, as long as `winhttp.dll` is present in the install directory.

## Arguments

`IPA.exe file-to-patch [arguments]` 

- `--launch`: Launch the game after patching
- `--revert`: Revert changes made by IPA (= unpatch the game)
- `--nowait`: Never keep the console open
- See `-h` or `--help` for more options.

Unconsumed arguments will be passed on to the game in case of `--launch`.
