CementGB, or simply Cement, is a general-purpose modding API for Gang Beasts. It enables mod creators to get their mods done quicker and better, as well as adding a ton of capability for easy user-generated content, such as custom maps and costumes when used in conjunction with the GBMDK Unity project (WIP), among some other nifty features.
CementGB is powered by MelonLoader and its dependencies. It can be downloaded on the Gang Beasts Thunderstore page, the official website, or the Releases section of the GitHub repository.
There are two main ways to install CementGB:
- Install and set up Gale or r2modman, whichever you prefer.
- Switch your mod manager's managed game to Gang Beasts, and make a new profile if needed. You can look to the respective managers' pages for how to do this.
- Click the blue Install with Mod Manager button just under the top info section of the CementGB Thunderstore page. This should install both CementGB and all listed requirements.
- Start the modded game through your mod manager. You should be good. In order for anything to actually happen, however, you must install some content mods. Most can be found on Thunderstore.
- Install MelonLoader as per the instructions on their wiki. Run the game to the menu screen at least once afterwards.
- Download the latest release of CementGB from GitHub. It is recommended to download the DLL file, NOT the ZIP file, if you are manually installing, however it makes little difference.
- Move
CementGB.dllto your Mods folder. If you play Gang Beasts on Steam, this will typically be inC:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Gang Beasts. - Start the game again. You should be good. In order for anything to actually happen, however, you must install some content mods. Most can be found on Thunderstore.
Note
CementGB's source code can now also be found (mirrored) on Codeberg, for people who are unable to access GitHub. Keep in mind that this is a mirror from GitHub and may be significantly delayed in updates.
