Tutorial Unity How to modify/cheat unity variables inside the game?

[content_eater]

Notice on May 18, 2021: Going to update this so that it's a one click installation, in about a week or so, somehow. (Forgot about this and I forgot how to do this)
Steps

1. Find out if the game is 64bit or 32bit and find out what version of unity the game uses.

2. Download
   You must be registered to see the links
   (x64 version for 64bit game and x86 for 32bit games).
3. Download
   You must be registered to see the links
   that matches the version of BepInEx (current is version 5).
4. Drag the contents inside the BepInEx archive into the game folder (the place where the .exe is located).
5. Run the game once and close the game.
   1. If no new files were created then that may mean that you are using the wrong verison (x64 vs x86/32bit)
   2. If the game crashes when it runs then you need to do the following.
      1. Go to gameInstalledLocation/BepInEx/config and right click the BepInEx.cfg file -> open with -> notepad. Scroll down and look for a line with "[Preloader.Entrypoint]". Next you need to recall the version of unity the game uses.
      2. if you are on unity 2017 or newer then change the line "Assembly = UnityEngine.dll" to "Assembly = UnityEngine.CoreModule.dll" and "Type = Application" to "Type = MonoBehaviour".
      3. if you are on unity 5 or lower then change the line and "Type = Application" to "Type = MonoBehaviour".
         • alternate if that does not work is to set the type to "Type = Camera".
6. Drag the BepInEx folder in Unity Runtime Editor archive into the game root folder (where the exe is located).
7. Run the game and once loaded press f12 (you can change the key to open this in the BepInEx/config/RuntimeUnityEditor.cfg, this will be created after you have opened it once)

If you are having trouble getting this to run with these instructions then I recommend you to read the README files.

What are these files and what do they do?
BepInEx is a like forge for minecraft. It's a something that makes it so you can install mods into the unity game that normally does not support mods.
Runtime Unity Editor is a mod that requires BepInEx. This is the thing that allows you to edit the variables inside the game.

Recommended Usage
I think the best way is to use dnspy to understand the game a bit (maybe what class the money value or player data is stored in). Otherwise you can yolo it too and try to guess instead.

So far I know 3 ways to use this.

But does it also work to unlock the gallery?

rocketscience for me.

If no new files were created then that may mean that you are using the wrong verison (x64 vs x86/32bit)-

hm im trying glamour2016 unity game... in main folder (with game.exe) there is glamour_data folder which got new files i assume as time stamp git changed and some log file appeared. is that correct.


Drag the BepInEx file in Unity Runtime Editor
i have no such file... i have the folder called 'BepInEx' ...


and files ^


confusing that link

You must be registered to see the links

...nothing there have that single file 'BepInEx'.
maybe i downloaded it wrong...there is some folder source code with bepinex-master folder ...should i drag the whole folder
that 'bepinex-master' folder has '.config' folder
(you can change the key to open this in the BepInEx/config/RuntimeUnityEditor.cfg,

ah dam that master thing is the same i downloaded from the first link
so confusing
anyways, no bepinex file ...i checked all those three folders....

But does it also work to unlock the gallery?

Yes it does but a better tool for this would be Working With Unity Games [DNSpy].
You have to look through the code and find the part where it shows you the gallery. Edit the method that has it so it shows all the images regardless if you have them or not. (It has to be a unity game or c# game tho)

You can do it with this but you need to already look through the code and know what you are looking for.
The use case for this is mostly when there is something that you want to change frequently, you can do it with cheat engine but unless you create pointers and stuff it will go away the next time you run the game.
If it's something infrequent like showing all the images in a gallery which is a one time thing it's better to just change the source code.

Hypothetical Example
Original code
if (gallaryUnlocked == true){
// shows the images
}
Changed code
if (true){
// shows the images
}

Ya... sorry this guide is a mess, I'll update this guide when I have time (maybe in a week).
I'll probably make it a single file that you have to download that will install all the things conditionally without the user having to deal with any complicated stuff.

As for the single file called bepinex that was my bad. That's a folder.


When you download one of these files, it will have a folder inside them which is called bepinex.


But if you can probably wait till I update this guide, it should be able to do everything automatically.

 

[konabwo]

can wait ... i ditched that game i wanted to use it for.

 

[konabwo]

...though i started other game. same name, same engine
hopefully doesnot feel like i need cheating rn but some cash would not hurt ...
i have an awesome idea...can u create some unity tweaking app where a user can upload start.exe file and get all the variables

 

[JiaMing]

it this for mac or win , for windows how to open

 

[Linkze]

I have never used this type of program xD only cheat engine but I have seen it in several games already integrated as a mod

 

[randomname123]

trying to use this program to cheat transformation tycoon and I have no clue. If anyone can help

has been update ? can't find "BepInEx.cfg" file

 

[lariso]

Too much rocket science

 

[allanl9020142]

Would this help with fixing a bug with a Unity game that the dev of said game hasn't fixed yet?

For example:
Character A is supposed to show up in location B between the hours of 2PM to 5PM from Monday to Wednesday.
However, Character A doesn't show up at all within those specified time frames.

Tried taking a look at the game using DnSpy but I didn't make the game so I have no idea where to look for all those variables to come together.
I can find the specific tokens just fine but I can't find where they're being used and how.

 

[Henry1887]

I would recommend yall to use UnityExplorer Plugin instead of RuntimeUnityEditor, because it gets more updates, has more functions, works for IL2CPP Games and works on BepInEx 6.
You can use my BepInEx Installer to automatically and correctly install UnityExplorer and BepInEx.

[Bo777]

I'm having an issue where I got it to start and all but when I press f12 the tab is mostly off the page and I cant grab the Unity Runtime Editor to move it into a space I can see. I've gone through the trouble shooting I can find but nothing talks about this. It's just locked way to low on the page to see anything but the top little bit
