Illusion Plugin Architecture (Reloaded) - let's you inject code into Unity projects.

2. Extract the contents into the game folder
3. Drag & drop the game exe onto **IPA.exe**
4. Start the game as usual (the generated shortcut is optional)

**Optional:** 
To verify it worked, start the game with the `--verbose` flag. If a new console window opens with debug info, then you're good.

## How To Develop

## How To Keep The Game Patched

When patching, IPA automatically creates a shortcut that keeps everything up-to-date. This simply makes sure that your DLLs remain patched even after an update.

## 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

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