A NeosModLoader mod for Neos VR that adds custom file imports.
- Install NeosModLoader.
- Download & unpack NeosDocumentImport.zip
- Copy the unpacked contents into your Neos install directory. (containing Neos.exe, NOT the launcher)
It should be at
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\NeosVR\for a default install. - Start the game. If you want to verify that the mod is working you can check your Neos logs.
To selectively install features refer to the following tables:
| File | Copy to |
|---|---|
| nml_mods/NeosDocumentImport.dll | nml_mods/ |
| File | Copy to |
|---|---|
| pdfium.dll | next to Neos.exe |
| nml_libs/Docnet.Core.dll | nml_libs/ |
| nml_mods/NeosDocumentImport_PDFImporter.dll | nml_mods/ |
| File | Copy to |
|---|---|
| nml_libs/ExCSS.dll | nml_libs/ |
| nml_libs/Fizzler.dll | nml_libs/ |
| nml_libs/Svg.dll | nml_libs/ |
| nml_mods/NeosDocumentImport_SVGImporter.dll | nml_mods/ |
This feature has been removed as the originally used rendering library downloaded Chrome in the background. After some reflection on that I decided the HTML feature is not worth the security issue of code being downloaded without user instruction.
Just paste or drag&drop the PDF/SVG files into Neos. Pasting URLs also works if it ends with with a proper file ending. Importing from file objects or from within the Neos file browser are not yet supported.
An import dialog allows you to adjust the resolution and a few other settings. If you want to apply the Neos default behaviour you can click the "Skip conversion" button.
| Setting | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| PPI | pixels per inch | 150 |
| Background | disable to render with transparent background | enabled |
| Pages | comma separated list of pages numbers, "1-3"="1,2,3" | empty (all pages) |
| Setting | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Width | output width in px | 128 |
| Transparency | disable to render with white background | enabled |
This "solution" is divided into 3 projects with one being shared code used by the others as an API to inject file -> files conversions into Neos. That API is not yet stable. Long term plan is to make it help others to easily implement their own import conversions.
All project references to Neos' dll files are relative to the environment variable "NeosPath". An environment variable named "BUILD_TYPE" with the value "CICD" will disable copying the built files into the Neos install directory.
