TABSAT VS ImGui.NET

I've encountered it myself for my own public FOSS programs, even the same Wacatac trojan claimed for a .Net app rather than Python. That time the older version of the public updates-checking library was depreciated into flagging as likely suspect, while the latest fixed it. Defender is dumb in this regard.

I suppose you could try TABSAT https://github.com/DaneelTrevize/TABSAT. I haven’t tried it myself, but supposedly it lets you modify stuff like the number of mutants and giants so you could get rid of them.

If you want to play classic no-Mutants 800%, you can edit a save to remove them via 0% population count scaling, or turn them all into Giants, or move the nearby ones to distant ones.

Do you have any way to access the save file path/contents? A quick googling indicates GFN could be syncing with your Steam Cloud, so your laptop could run a local copy of Steam TAB enough to retrieve the saves when loading the main menu, and then you could use TABSAT to regenerate the check file.

I made TABSAT so that players can extract and modify save files, the manual modification feature should help in this regard.

Latest version available at: https://github.com/DaneelTrevize/TABSAT/releases TABSAT Log: 2023/04/04 14.49.16.311 - You are running the latest released version, TABSAT v1.4.2 2023/04/04 14.49.26.326 - Extracted save file: C:\Users\Baba\Documents\My Games\They Are Billions\Saves\shock.zxsav 2023/04/04 14.49.26.412 - Error while extracting or modifying the save: System.IndexOutOfRangeException: Index was outside the bounds of the array. at TABSAT.SaveReader.generateNavigableData(Int32 res) at TABSAT.SaveReader.getLayerData(MapLayers layer) at TABSAT.SaveReader..ctor(String filesPath) at TABSAT.SaveEditor..ctor(String filesPath) at TABSAT.ModifyManager.getSaveEditor() at TABSAT.ModifyManagerControls.modifyExtractedSave() at TABSAT.ModifyManagerControls.modifySave_DoWork(Object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e) at System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker.OnDoWork(DoWorkEventArgs e) at System.ComponentModel.BackgroundWorker.WorkerThreadStart(Object argument)

TABSAT automates making copies of your saves and easily restoring them. Just have it enabled and then either depend on the game's schedule of autosaving or exit and resume a game to force a save to be generated, to be copied in the background.

FYI I just released a new version of TABSAT, to help automate TAB saves management.

Now I'm trying to integrate ImGui into the engine. One solution I found was using this but as far as I can tell it locks you into using OpenGL which is something I would like to avoid as one of the main selling points of SDL2 for me is it's abstraction over the rendering backend.

In additiona to imgui wrapper which works great with NativeAOT, only slight nudge and you have 10Mb executable. With all deps it's 13Mb. Also there Avalonia mentioned in sibling message which work great and in 11.0-preview5 probably would not need any additional configuraiton. In case if OP is have soft spot for web tech, he can use photino.Blazor which also with slight modifications would simply works and produce 27Mb executable.

Imgui gets rendered using ImguiRenderer provided here in the example: https://github.com/mellinoe/ImGui.NET/tree/master/src/ImGui.NET.SampleProgram.XNA

I'm converting rlImGui from C++ to C# so I can use it with ImGui.NET and Raylib-cs but I'm getting stuck at a couple places. I don't know how to convert line 331 to C# since in ImGui.NET cmd.UserCallback is an IntPtr and not something I can call. I did a quick google search and you can use the Marshal library to convert it to a callable delegate but I think you need to also have the delegate known to do that. There's also line 82 but that is specific to Raylib. The function it calls does not seem to be included in Raylib-cs. Also, rlImGui keeps using a Texture type but that is not defined in Raylib-cs or ImGui.NET. I assume I can substitute it with Texture2D from Raylib-cs but I'm not to the point in porting to see if Texture2D has the necessary fields/properties/methods.

ImGui.NET 1.87.3 (using the example implementation)

If you use this example implementation for XNA/MonoGame, you can just use ImGuiRenderer.BindTexture() which returns an IntPtr.

The only thing I could really think of is something like ImGui for C# (https://github.com/mellinoe/ImGui.NET) but I've never used it. It's going to give you some simple wrappers around ImGui (https://github.com/ocornut/imgui) but even this is going to lock you into the UI framework -- you can't just "draw a rectangle" per se and use it as a "control." Do note however this is an "immediate mode" GUI which is different from how most general desktop windowing systems work in "retained mode" (which are typically event driven, which saves on computing power to not draw the same stuff over and over).
