DorkNet.ClientMod's config reads PhotonCloudRegion alongside the
AppIds, and the joining client needs the host's region to connect
to the right Photon cloud. Adds {PHOTON_REGION} to the substitution
map and threads region through ClientPatcher.ApplyAsync from both
host (AppState.PhotonRegion) and join (JoinPayload.PhotonRegion)
flows.

# Release artifact contract
|
|
|
|
The DorkNet Launcher (on `main`) reads
|
|
[`/versions.json`](../versions.json) to find every supported per-version
|
|
branch, then fetches release artifacts from each branch's GitHub
|
|
Releases.
|
|
|
|
Per-version branches must publish releases that follow this contract,
|
|
otherwise the launcher reports "no release found" / "manifest missing"
|
|
to users on host / join.
|
|
|
|
## Tag naming
|
|
|
|
A release's tag must start with the `release_tag_prefix` declared for
|
|
the branch in `versions.json`. Recommended scheme:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
v1-{month}-{YYYY.MM.DD}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Examples (matching the current `release_tag_prefix` values):
|
|
|
|
| Branch | `release_tag_prefix` | Example full tag |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| `december-2020-12-18` | `v1-december` | `v1-december-2026.06.15` |
|
|
| `march-2020-03-10` | `v1-march` | `v1-march-2026.06.15` |
|
|
|
|
The launcher picks the most-recent release (by `published_at`) whose
|
|
tag starts with the prefix, then looks for the two asset names below.
|
|
|
|
## Required assets
|
|
|
|
### 1. `dorknet-server-{version_key}-win-x64.zip`
|
|
|
|
A self-contained .NET 9 publish of `DorkNet.Server` for `win-x64`.
|
|
The launcher unpacks this and spawns the executable directly.
|
|
|
|
Build with:
|
|
|
|
```pwsh
|
|
cd DorkNet.Server
|
|
dotnet publish -c Release -r win-x64 --self-contained -p:PublishSingleFile=true
|
|
cd bin/Release/net9.0/win-x64/publish
|
|
Compress-Archive -Path * -DestinationPath ../../../../../dorknet-server-{version_key}-win-x64.zip
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The zip's root must contain `DorkNet.Server.exe` (or any `.exe`; the
|
|
launcher scans for it).
|
|
|
|
### 2. `dorknet-clientpatch-{version_key}.zip`
|
|
|
|
The MelonLoader-based client patcher, packed into a single zip with a
|
|
**manifest.json** at the zip root telling the launcher what to do.
|
|
The launcher performs every step in C# — no PowerShell scripts run.
|
|
|
|
**Required layout inside the zip:**
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
manifest.json (described below)
|
|
MelonLoader.zip (optional — the MelonLoader install tree)
|
|
DorkNet.ClientMod.dll (required — the DorkNet MelonLoader plugin)
|
|
dorknet-clientmod.json.template (optional — UserData config template)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**`manifest.json` schema (v1):**
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"$schema_version": 1,
|
|
"loader_archive": "MelonLoader.zip",
|
|
"plugin_dll": "DorkNet.ClientMod.dll",
|
|
"plugin_dest": "MelonLoader/Mods",
|
|
"config_template": "dorknet-clientmod.json.template",
|
|
"config_dest": "MelonLoader/UserData/dorknet-clientmod.json",
|
|
"old_plugin_paths": [
|
|
"BepInEx/plugins/DorkNet.ClientPatch.dll"
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
All fields except `$schema_version` and `plugin_dll` are optional.
|
|
Defaults:
|
|
|
|
| Field | Default |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| `plugin_dest` | `MelonLoader/Mods` |
|
|
| `config_dest` | `MelonLoader/UserData/dorknet-clientmod.json` |
|
|
| `loader_archive` | (none — assumes user has MelonLoader installed) |
|
|
| `config_template` | (none — no config written) |
|
|
|
|
**`config_template` placeholders** rendered before write:
|
|
|
|
| Placeholder | Source |
|
|
|---|---|
|
|
| `{HOST}` | Host's tunnel hostname (or join code's `host` field) |
|
|
| `{PHOTON_APPID}` | Host's Photon Realtime AppId |
|
|
| `{PHOTON_VOICE_APPID}` | Host's Photon Voice AppId (falls back to Realtime if empty) |
|
|
| `{PHOTON_REGION}` | Photon Cloud region (us/eu/asia/jp/sa/kr/in/au); defaults to `us` |
|
|
|
|
Example template:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"ServerHost": "{HOST}",
|
|
"PhotonAppId": "{PHOTON_APPID}",
|
|
"PhotonVoiceAppId": "{PHOTON_VOICE_APPID}"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## What the launcher does on Apply
|
|
|
|
Given the manifest above, the launcher does (in this order):
|
|
|
|
1. Extracts `loader_archive` over the user's Rec Room install root
|
|
(the parent of `Recroom_Release_Data`). MelonLoader's `version.dll`
|
|
and `MelonLoader/` tree land in the right places.
|
|
2. Deletes any `old_plugin_paths` (cleans up an old BepInEx-era DLL,
|
|
a previous plugin filename, etc.).
|
|
3. Copies `plugin_dll` to `<recroom-root>/<plugin_dest>/`.
|
|
4. Renders `config_template` (placeholder substitution) and writes
|
|
to `<recroom-root>/<config_dest>`.
|
|
|
|
No PowerShell, no separate Steamless invocation, no byte-level
|
|
metadata patching in v1 — keep the patcher zip declarative. Future
|
|
schema versions can add fields for those without breaking older
|
|
launchers (they ignore unknown fields).
|
|
|
|
## Verifying a release before publishing
|
|
|
|
```pwsh
|
|
$tag = "v1-december-2026.06.15"
|
|
gh release view $tag --repo DorkSquadRR/DorkNet
|
|
gh release download $tag --repo DorkSquadRR/DorkNet `
|
|
--pattern "dorknet-server-december_2020_12_18-win-x64.zip" `
|
|
--pattern "dorknet-clientpatch-december_2020_12_18.zip"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then unzip + inspect: the patcher zip should have `manifest.json` at
|
|
root, the named DLL should exist, the `config_template` (if listed)
|
|
should exist, etc.
|
|
|
|
## Future: GitHub Actions workflow
|
|
|
|
Each per-version branch should land a `.github/workflows/release.yml`
|
|
that builds + packages the artifacts on tag push. Not yet implemented;
|
|
releases are manual for now.
