Total New To Modding. Looking to update a A16.4 mod to the latest A19 version.

[SAiNTx2]

I've posted on Steam discussion and reddit hopefully I'll get some help here.

 

As title states trying to update old mod to latest alpha.

 

I've downloaded several programs I believe are required. I have DnSpy, DMT Tools, Visual Studio, and Unity.

 

So far I've decompiled the mods.dll file using DnSpy into C#.

 

I know the mod I'm working on used Unity 5.

 

From my understanding the process is:

 

1) decompile the mods.dll file using DnSpy.

-Finished.

 

2) Save decompiled files to C#.

-Finished.

 

3) What is the next step in this process? I assume I need to start a new project using Visual Studio but even after I create the project I don't know how to go about updating/editing/debugging the C# files.

 

Final step is use DMT to compile corrected C# files back into a mods.dll file format.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I really enjoy the challenge of all this and would like to learn more about modding and programing. TIA

If your looking to update older mods One request I have is the old custom vehicles mod by Manux that had a mining vehicle back in A16

If there is anyone who knows this kind of coding let me know and maybe I could do a collaboration with that person

Be sure to attempt to gain the original authors permission to update his/her mod.  Im not sure what MOD the OP is trying to reverse engineer, but the stated method seems the painful way to go about it.
