 +====== Decompiling Game Code ====== 
 +In order to modify existing game code or figure out which game code you want to interface with you must decompile the game code using any decompiling program.\\ 
 +Due to the vast superiority of [[https://​github.com/​0xd4d/​dnSpy|dnSpy]] we highly recommend you use it to browse the game code.\\ 
 +Once you have installed dnSpy follow these steps: 
 +  - Run dnSpy once so that it integrates with windows explorer'​s right click context menu. 
 +  - Navigate to ''​...\<​Game Folder>​\<​Game Name>​_Data\Managed\''​. 
 +  - Right click ''​Assembly-CSharp.dll''​ and choose **Open with dnSpy**. 
 +    * Alternatively you can click **File > Open** inside the dnSpy and open this file. 
 +  - Navigate through the **Assembly Explorer** on the left side until you reach the ''​-''​ namespace (Code not having any namespace). 
 +    * {{::​dnspy_codelocation.png?​nolink|}} 
 +    * This is where you will find the vast majority of the game code for most games. 
 +    * Some games may use other namespaces for some of it's code. 
 +  - Use the **Assembly Explorer**, **Search** and **Analyze** tools of dnSpy to discover code relevant to what you want to mod and learn where it is tied to. 
 +    * See **[[guide_firstsrmod|My First Slime Rancher Mod (Modding Guide)]]** to learn various ways to create a basic mod.
