Tip: Hot Reloading
So, you're developing a mod, right? When making a change, you may find it pretty inconvenient to also open the game, find an error/visual issue, close it, make another change, rinse and repeat, just to get your mod to look right.
Luckily, there is a better way, done by the Funkin' devs, just something to make modding a little easier!
Press the F5 key to force FNF to dump its cache, reload all of the game data (and mods) from the disk (or flash drive if you have the game there), and restart the current state with the proper changes applied in it. This lets you, for example:
- Tweak positions of stage props, or even add new ones, and then instantly reload the game to see them in it.
- Tweak your character's animation offsets quickly, making sure they look or work right.
- Modify your script to fix an issue and reload the game to continue testing without reopening.
