Notes on modding I.RULE (https://doctorhummer.itch.io/irule).
Raw
irule_modding.md

This information is up-to-date as of alpha release v0.1.6.0!

I.RULE

I.RULE is a PvZ/TBoI fan-game. It is a roguelike tower defense game with heavy PvZ elements, themed both artistically and content-wise around The Binding of Isaac.

Modding

I.RULE is a GameMaker (lmao L) game. It is packaged as an executable, but its content files (sounds, language file, and data.(win/whatever) files are written to a temporary folder when the game is open.

Obtaining Files

  1. Open I.RULE.
  2. Open Task Manager (alternatively, another other program that lets you see the path a program is running from).
  3. Right-click on "cool game" (the internal name of I.RULE, which has a child process for the game).
  4. Select "Open File Location" or something similar.
  5. Copy the IXPXXX.TMP (XXX refers to any number, often 000 or maybe 001) to a permanent location.

Modifying the Files

After obtaining the files, you can use an upacking/modification tool such as UndertaleModTool to make any modifications you'd like.

More information on the specifics of modding will be added later.
