Experimental DLL Mod Loader

There are currently two versions of Monolith Mod Loader that can be used alongside OpenSauce (or even to load OpenSauce from (game)/mods/!) The former's Chimera is optional, but the latter requires its bundled Chimera 1.0 Alpha.

Warning! Both bundled versions of Chimera have partial incompatibility with OpenSauce 4.0. These issues range from minor FOV inconsistencies to occasional crashes.

Chimera 0.50.0-581 + Monolith Mod Loader 0.3.0

This version does not require Chimera, but this 2018 release of Chimera is bundled as an optional addon. This would replace SPV3's chimera.dll and would Although this version of Monolith Mod Loader does not require ChimeraFewer fixes for engine issues, but has support for Lua scripts. This feature allows much more powerful scripting than Halo's HaloScript, even with OpenSauce's script extensions. It also allows potentially risky memory editing, but this can be used for creating new engine fixes and features.

Chimera 1.0.0-alpha_2019-04-06 + Monolith Mod Loader 1.0.5

If the bundled Chimera is not installed as instructed in the bundled README, the Monolith will fail to start and the game will exit. The Chimera bundled in this package has more built-in features than its 2018, including some vehicle and renderer fixes, but lacks Lua script capabilities because this Lua script functionality hadn't been remade after a complete rewrite of the mod. Lua functionality was re-added in later releases, but all releases after this alpha build hard-crash when loaded with OpenSauce 4.0.
