Inkorporated Example

A working, copy-me example for Inkorporated - the custom-tattoo framework for Schedule I. It shows the two ways to add tattoos to the in-game tattoo shop, side by side:

Folder	Route	Needs code?	Best for
pack/	A drop-in content pack (manifest.json + PNGs)	No	Shipping a set of tattoos as a standalone mod
code-mod/	A MelonLoader mod using the Inkorporated.API	Yes (C#)	Generating/registering tattoos at runtime, NPCs, dynamic packs

Full docs: the Inkorporated Wiki.

Requirements (for both routes)

• Schedule I (IL2CPP) + MelonLoader 0.7.3+
• S1API (ifBars/S1API_Forked)
• Inkorporated (the framework)

Route 1 - the content pack (no code)

Copy pack/ into …/Schedule I/UserData/Inkorporated/Packs/ (rename the folder to your pack's name) and launch. "Example Heart" (Chest) and "Example Star" (Left Arm) show up in the tattoo shop. See pack/README.txt for the manifest fields. That folder, zipped, is a complete Thunderstore content mod - just declare DooDesch-Inkorporated as a dependency.

Route 2 - the code mod (the API)

code-mod/ is a minimal MelonLoader mod. The whole integration is one call in Core.cs:

using Inkorporated;            // API
using Inkorporated.Model;      // TattooPlacement

// In OnInitializeMelon (register early - before the tattoo shop UI is built).
// The PNG is embedded in this DLL, so one call loads + registers it (no boilerplate):
API.RegisterTattooFromResource("ring_face", "Example Ring (API)", TattooPlacement.Face, "InkExample.Assets.ring_face.png", source: "InkExample");

// other ways to register:
API.RegisterTattooFromFile("my_id", "My Tattoo", TattooPlacement.Chest, pngPath, source: "InkExample");   // a PNG on disk
API.RegisterTattoo("my_id", "My Tattoo", TattooPlacement.Chest, myTexture2D, source: "InkExample");        // a Texture2D you built

TattooPlacement is Chest | LeftArm | RightArm | Face. source namespaces your ids. Because tattoos register through the game's Resources.Load, the same registered path can also be applied to an S1API NPC (WithBodyLayer/WithFaceLayer) - see the commented snippet in Core.cs.

Building the code mod

It references DLLs straight from a normal modded install - no private build libs:

cd code-mod
dotnet build -c Release /p:GameDir="D:\path\to\Schedule I"

(Defaults GameDir to the usual Steam path; override as above. Install S1API + Inkorporated first so Mods/ has their DLLs.) The build copies InkExample.dll into your Mods/ folder.
