I finished the Forward component, which faithfully reproduces every System.IO function (the functions used to interact with the computer’s file system).

Why? : I need functions with the exact same API, since I’m going to intercept the game’s disk read/write functions to stop it from writing thousands of small files and folders.

What’s changed:

• Add VirtualFS.DeleteFile()
• Add VirtualFS.DeleteFileNoThrow() (System.IO‘s Delete function doesn’t throw an error, unlike VirtualFS.DeleteFile(), so I made an alternative to properly mimic Delete’s behavior.
• Add Forward.cs

Progress so far:

• ✅ VFS (Virtual File System).
• ✅ Write the fake System.IO functions.
• ❌ Write/Read the .msa (Mechanica Save Archive) file.
• ❌ Intercepting the system functions.
• ❌ Write the triggers that will fire the capture/emission of virtual files.
• ❌ Add display/support for the new save format in the world selection menu.
