Formidable-Mod-Loader

Building

If you want to build it yourself you have the build instructions in the main.c file

For azur lane devs

This project is intened to enchance the game with things like BetterFPS mod or to load translations to languages which Azur Lane doesn't support right now like spanish, if you have trouble with cheaters (which I don't support and allow), implement more defenses on the server side because every cliend side patch to prevent this can be avoided. If having reasoned this you still want me to take down the project please join the discord server, and DM me @roiniti.

Note

If you have Azur Lane version 5.1-7.x its recomended to use the version 0.1.1 of the modloader

A mod loader for Azur Lane, if you want some mods, or learn a bit of the mod structure you can check my mods repo or you can join the discord server
Also I want to thank Egoist (https://github.com/Egoistically) for helping me with this project (also I'm using code from one of his projects)

Note

Only works for arm64-v8a!!, I'm working on a armeabi-v7a and x86 release Armeabi-v7a and x86 is implemented >=0.1.1 but not tested

Important

This is NOT INTENDED to hack/cheat the game, my goal was to implement QOF mods (like BetterFPSControl) or something like that, I do not support hackers and cheaters and I am not responsible for improper use of this tool

Warning

This is a modification of the game and can lead to a ban, but some mods should be harmless, use it at your own risk

Adding mods

After you install FormidableML create a folder named mods inside Android/data/com.YostarEN.AzurLane/files and put inside all the mods folder you want

Installing FormidableML using the autopatcher

1. Download the library zip and AzurLane-Autopatcher.zip from here
2. Extract AzurLane-Autopatcher.zip
3. In the same folder as AZLAutopatcher.exe put the Azur Lane apk and inside a folder named libs put the arm64-v8a armeabi... folders
4. Open a terminal/cmd/powershell in the folder AZLAutopatcher.exe -a "apk-name"
5. Install the apk and then (if you hadn't) add the obb files

Installing FormidableML yourself

1. Download ApkTool https://apktool.org/
2. Download zipalign and apksigner
3. Create a keystore
4. Extract the Azur Lane apk using apktool

java -jar apktool.jar d ./azur-lane.apk -o extracted/apk -f

5. Add the following method to smali_classes2\com\unity3d\player\UnityPlayerActivity or smali\com\unity3d\player\UnityPlayerActivity (depends on the AL version), anywhere above its onCreate:

.method private static native init(Landroid/content/Context;)V
.end method

And these lines to onCreate:

	const-string v0, "FormidableML"

	invoke-static {v0}, Ljava/lang/System;->loadLibrary(Ljava/lang/String;)V

	invoke-static {p0}, Lcom/unity3d/player/UnityPlayerActivity;->init(Landroid/content/Context;)V

(Preferably without replacing other variables, such as between .locals 2 and const/4 v0, 0x1.)

Also you can enable debug mode (you'll need debug mode on verson 0.1.0, in later versions its recomended), go to AndroidManifest.xml and add android:debuggable="true" after application, should look like this:

<application android:debuggable="true"...

6. Put the libFormidableML inside lib/arm64-v8a/lib/armeabi-v7a/lib/x86
7. Rebuild the apk

java -jar apktool.jar b extracted/apk -o extracted/recompiled.apk -f

8. Align the apk and sign it

zipalign.exe -f 4 extracted/recompiled.apk extracted/aligned.apk
java -jar apksigner.jar sign -ks my-release-key.keystore -ks-pass pass:password --v1-signing-enabled true --v2-signing-enabled true extracted\aligned.apk

9. Install the apk
