(Stable) Custom Whatever Loader

Due to the changes in between Elin patches, it's getting difficult to maintain cross version compatibility within same mod. Use this version if you are not running game with Beta -> Nightly, otherswise use Nightly Version CWL.

Do not use both at the same time.




Allows the game to automatically load modders' custom resources from the mod directory, simplifying the process for modders to utilize various game functionalities without any additional steps, and with extended localization support.

Ideal for mods that introduce new items, characters, or audio elements, the Custom Whatever Loader eliminates the need for creating script DLLs for majority of the tasks.

CWL is made with community effort and feedback, new features are added upon request.

Generally, you only need to prepare EN folder, as in JP entries are bundled within the same sheet. (Unless you are using god_talk.xlsx or other localized Data)

Config file can be edited using Mod Config GUI or in file at Elin/BepInEx/config/dk.elinplugins.customdialogloader.cfg
Check out the configuration details here[elin-modding-resources.github.io]

Do you know that source element 105 is gun?!
