Recent updates breaking demos.

JezuzLizard One of the main reasons we use redacted is the mods that have been created for it, such as Airyz T6GR. These are normally in the format of Red32n, i found a thread from a bit ago from someone coincidentally doing the same thing as us, suggesting that these are just renamed dlls and theoretically we could just inject them (https://forum.plutonium.pw/topic/25431/red32n-files/7). I have tried this to no avail. I was wondering if this was due to the new network protocol, like the demo situation, or another incompatability which would more or less only be able to be resolved if the mod creator attempted to convert the mod to pluto.

@adore-u I did say they were renamed .dll files in that topic which is correct but they use redacted's plugin API which means injecting them wouldn't actually work because they do not necessarily need to use the main function which is typically the entry point for a .dll. Instead redacted manually calls specific functions that the red32n project exports to actually run code and apply patches.
Plutonium does not have plugin loading for client, only for dedicated servers, and also our plugin API isn't the same as redacted's. This is why the red32n when injected into Plutonium does not work and will not work unless you relink the red32n to work as a normal .dll. In order to do this you'd need to either obtain the source code of the red32n plugin and recompile it, or you'd need to reverse engineer the original red32n and recreate the source code. Do note there is no guarantee that the stock patches that Airyz T6GR for example would apply to Plutonium would work do to the number of patches that Plutonium already applies of which some of them could be incompatible which would require much more work to fix.
