Glossary of the guide

Here is a table of important terms used throughout of this guide.

Term Definition
mod Modification to the game’s behaviour. Consists of different modules (DLLs) for ReiPatcher, UnityInjector or other tools alike.
Note: On forums and other websites mods are usually referred to as plugins or patchers, while the word “mod” is reserved to mean a modification to the game’s assets. In this tutorial, however, a plugin has a slightly different meaning, which is why the word “mod” is used instead.
patcher An assembly (or a module, in general) that consists of at least one class the purpose of which is to change the contents of some game assembly.
plugin An assembly that contains at least one MonoBehaviour that is loaded into the game using UnityInjector.
