Beyond - Standalone Client

A custom launcher and in-game mod for AdventureQuest Worlds Infinity. The launcher embeds the Unity game inside its own window, runs multiple accounts side by side, and exposes a set of tools (cosmetic spoofers, autoskills, packet sniffer/sender, quest automation, and more) that talk to a mod injected into the game.

This is a third-party tool intended for local, single-player experimentation and learning. Use it responsibly and at your own risk.

How it works

The project is two cooperating pieces plus the game itself:

• Launcher (Beyond/Launcher/) an Avalonia desktop app (.NET 10, win-x64). It spawns the game, re-parents the game's window into a session tab, and drives everything from one view-model per session.
• BeyondAgent (Beyond/BeyondAgent/) - the mod (.NET Standard 2.1, Harmony). On build it is copied into the game's Managed folder; the launcher then patches the game's Assembly-CSharp.dll with Mono.Cecil to call Infinity_TestMod.BeyondLifecycle.Create() from AEC.Start(), which boots the mod. The mod and launcher speak over a per-session named pipe.
• The game - your AdventureQuest Worlds Infinity install, in any location. The launcher patches and embeds it; you point at it from the Configurator. It is not bundled with the source (and is git-ignored). Release names differ, so nothing assumes a fixed folder or executable name - the launcher runs whatever game executable it finds in the configured directory.

Each launcher session mints a unique pipe name, launches the game with that pipe in the environment, and connects to it. The mod mirrors its full settings snapshot back to the launcher so every tool window reflects live game state.

Features

• Multi-account sessions - launch several accounts at once, each an embedded game in its own tab; all keep running while you switch between them.
• Configurator - store accounts (with nicknames) and the game directory.
• Auto-launch - fills the login screen and advances the play screen straight to server select.
• Tool windows - Visual Spoofers & Jukebox, Autoskills, Quest Loader, Quest Runner & Chain Editor, Shop Loader, Fake Dev, Packet Sniffer / Interceptor / Sender / Receiver.

---

The game install lives outside the repo (git-ignored); point at it from the Configurator at runtime and via the build script at build time.

---

Requirements

• Windows (the launcher re-parents the native game window via Win32).
• .NET 10 SDK.
• A copy of AdventureQuest Worlds Infinity installed somewhere (the mod is compiled against the game's managed assemblies).

Build

The simplest path is the build script, which prompts for your game directory, builds, publishes, and deploys the launcher to the repo root:

build.bat

To build with the SDK directly, tell the mod build where the game is - either set AQWI_GAME_DIR, or pass the managed folder explicitly:

dotnet build Beyond.sln -c Release -p:AqwiManagedDir="<game>\<name>_Data\Managed"

Building BeyondAgent copies BeyondAgent.dll (and Harmony) into the game's …_Data/Managed folder. The launcher patches Assembly-CSharp.dll on first launch (making a .dll.bak backup; it skips patching if MelonLoader is detected).

Run

1. Start BeyondLauncher.exe (from the repo root after running build.bat).
2. On the Configurator tab, set the game directory and add one or more accounts.
3. Press Launch on an account (or + Add Session). If no game executable is found in the configured directory, the launcher warns you instead.
