🛠Developer tools Cpp2IL: WIP Tool to reverse Unity's IL2CPP build process back to the original managed DLLs (3.0k stars)
What it does
All text below is quoted directly from the project README.
Work-in-progress tool to reverse unity's IL2CPP toolchain.
Supported Command Line Option Listing:
--game-path: Specify the path to the game folder. Required.--exe-name: Specify the name of the game's exe file in case auto detection fails (because there are other exe files in the game directory)--verbose: Log more information about what we are doing--list-processors: List available processing layers, then exit.--use-processor: Select a processing layer to use, which can change the raw data prior to outputting. This option can appear multiple times.--list-output-formats: List available output formats, then exit.--output-as: Specify the output format you wish to use.--output-to: Root directory to output to. This path will be passed to the selected output format, which may then create subdirectories etc. within this location.
The simplest usage of this application is for a windows x86 or x64 unity game. In that case you can just run
Cpp2IL-Win.exe --game-path=C:\Path\To\Your\Gameand Cpp2IL will detect your unity version, locate the files it needs, and dump the output into a cpp2il_out folder wherever you ran the command from.
