Problem:

Reloaded has originally only limited support for native mods (C++ DLLs), and currently doesn't support Mod Config for those.
This means if a modder wants to make a full C++ DLL mod, they won't be able to implement options for players, unless they also add an extra C# DLL, essentially acting like a bridge, so the launcher can read the mod options values.

This isn't really convenient, modders have to put more efforts, pay attention to struct alignment, matching order and size so C# and C++ can agree properly.

Solution:

This PR adds support for Mod Config with native mods, meaning C++ DLL mods can expose their own config and Reloaded will natively read it, without any extra C# DLL needed.

Implementation:

The implementation mimic a lot SA Mod Manager using a ConfigSchema.json file that modders provide, Reloaded then read that file instead of the original C# DLL. The schema is translated at runtime through reflection into a real .NET config class which carries the same attributes as the C# template, so the existing Configure dialog all work and stay unchanged.

This PR also provide template and example, I took inspiration from the original Reloaded code as much as I could, including for comments. It's all Windows only for now, since anything else seem to focus on that OS only anyway, I figured out it's not really worth to do cross-platform considering this will likely become full obsolete with Reloaded III.

Walkthrough

Adds schema-driven configuration for native mods. It adds schema parsing, generated launcher configuration types, flat JSON persistence, migration, and file watching. It extends native startup with ReloadedStartEx, loader API access, directory resolution, and lifecycle callbacks. It adds a C++17 CMake template with configuration files and deployment support. It updates native-mod documentation and adds tests for configuration and loader API behavior.

363-375: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Replace strtod with a locale-independent parser. strtod uses the active C locale. If the host selects a comma decimal separator, parsing 1.5 stops at the period, leaves input unconsumed, and causes the complete JSON document to be rejected.

The template requires C++17, but floating-point std::from_chars is not implemented by every C++17 standard library. Use this replacement if the supported MSVC and Clang toolchains provide that overload; otherwise use another locale-independent implementation.

- Line 101: Update the portability statement in the NativeMods documentation to
accurately describe ReloadedModConfig.h as Windows-only, removing claims about
_WIN32 guards, std::filesystem, and reuse outside Windows; preserve the
surrounding configuration and thread-lifecycle guidance.

- Around line 84-89: Update the configuration-directory setup in
ConfigureModCommand so that when _modUserConfigTuple is null, it resolves the
user config directory using the loader’s existing helper for the mod. Use that
resolved directory, along with the existing path for non-null user config, when
calling nativeConfigurator.Migrate and SetConfigDirectory.

In
`@source/Reloaded.Mod.Launcher.Lib/Models/Model/Configuration/NativeConfigTypeEmitter.cs`:
- Around line 211-212: Update the slider validation in the native configuration
emitter to reject enum property types explicitly while allowing only int, float,
and double. Ensure SliderControlParamsAttribute is not attached to enum
properties, preserving the existing exception message and numeric-type behavior.
- Around line 204-206: Extend Generated_Properties_Carry_UI_Attributes to read
the generated EnumSetting property's DefaultValueAttribute and assert that its
value matches the expected enum default, alongside the existing BooleanSetting
assertion. Ensure the test covers enum default-value readback emitted by

- Line 91: Validate the FileName value in NativeConfigSchemaConfiguration before
assigning it from the schema. Add a ValidateFileName helper that rejects rooted

throwing JsonException for invalid values, and apply it to the existing
GetStringOrDefault result while preserving the Config.json default.

In

- Around line 72-75: Update NativeModConfigurator.Migrate to report migration
failure instead of swallowing exceptions, and log the caught exception; adjust
ConfigureModCommand so SetConfigDirectory(configDirectory) runs only after
successful migration, otherwise retain or fall back to the old configuration

In `@source/Reloaded.Mod.Template/templates/native/ModConfig.json`:
- Line 11: Set the ModNativeDll32 configuration value to the 32-bit build output

Convert the boxed enum before emitting the field initializer.

GetEnumDefault returns a boxed generated enum. The (int)defaultValue cast tries to unbox that value as System.Int32. This throws InvalidCastException when the emitter builds a configuration with an enum property.

Proposed fix
-            il.Emit(OpCodes.Ldc_I4, (int)defaultValue!);

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Update the statement that native mods lack loader API access.

This sentence says native mods have no access to the mod loader API. The new ReloadedStartInfo.loader wrapper gives native mods load_mod, unload_mod, suspend_mod, resume_mod, get_directory_for_mod, get_mod_config_directory and log. Readers of the introduction get the wrong answer before they reach the Exports section.

📝 Proposed fix
-Native mods lack access to components such as the mod loader API but can use some limited mod loader functionality, such as *Resume* and *Suspend* provided the right exports are available. 
+Native mods receive a limited wrapper around the mod loader API through the `ReloadedStartEx` entry point, and can use loader functionality such as *Resume* and *Suspend* provided the right exports are available.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Do not close the stop event while a watcher thread can still wait on it.

~ModConfig() signals _stop_event and then closes it at once. The thread started by watch() may still be inside WaitForMultipleObjects with that handle. Closing a handle that another thread waits on gives undefined behaviour: the wait can fail, or the handle value can be reused by a later CreateFileW/CreateEventW in the same process, and the thread then waits on an unrelated object. The thread also calls load() and callback(*this) on an object whose destructor already ran.

The static instance returned by config() is destroyed at DLL unload. A mod that detached its watcher thread, as the documentation allows, hits this path in normal use.

Either document that the thread must be joined before the ModConfig is destroyed and add a reference count, or track the running watcher threads and wait for them in the destructor before CloseHandle.

People should not have to look up these magic numbers to set a default schema folder, mm.
These should be parsed from enum ideally, and available values listed in docs.

- Convert doc comment enumerations to plain bullet lists.
- Document all public schema members: 7 Parse methods, 34 control properties.
- Document Load/CreateInstance error paths and the JsonException cases.
- Fix 92 CS1591 missing-doc and 16 CS86xx nullability warnings.
- Fix 3 missing test usings that broke the test build (CS0246).
- Make SupportedTypes internal and null-guard JsonNode lookups.

🟠 Major · Convert the boxed enum before emitting its value. · NativeConfigTypeEmitter.cs:191

source/Reloaded.Mod.Launcher.Lib/Models/Model/Configuration/NativeConfigTypeEmitter.cs:191
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Convert the boxed enum before emitting its value.

GetEnumDefault returns a boxed enum. Casting that object directly to int causes InvalidCastException. Any configuration that contains an enum property therefore fails during type construction.

Convert the enum through its underlying value.

Proposed fix
-            il.Emit(OpCodes.Ldc_I4, (int)defaultValue!);
+            il.Emit(OpCodes.Ldc_I4, Convert.ToInt32(defaultValue));

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Resolve defaults with the original enum member names.

DefineLiteral sanitizes each schema member name with MakeIdentifier. GetEnumDefault then compares DefaultValue with the sanitized CLR names.

For example, the valid schema member "High Quality" becomes High_Quality. A default of "High Quality" cannot match and causes configuration creation to fail.

Retain the schema members during type resolution. Map the original member name to its numeric index before emitting the default.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Reject null collection entries as schema errors.

A schema with "Configurations": [null] calls NativeConfigSchemaConfiguration.Parse(null). The nullable readers initially return fallback values, but the parser later dereferences node. This causes NullReferenceException, which bypasses the contextual exception handler.

The same problem applies to null property and inline-value entries. Validate each array entry and throw JsonException before parsing it.

Based on learnings, validate the structure of syntactically valid decoded data before use.

- Move 4 native config model files into Models/Model/Configuration/Native/
- Drop redundant Native prefix from 12 type names and 4 file names
- Use Native.X in callers
- Move 7 schema models plus internal Keys/JsonNodeExtensions out of
  ModConfigSchema.cs into Native/Schema/, shrinking it 742 to 68 lines
- Rename moved types to prefix-free names (Configuration, Property,
  Slider, FilePicker, FolderPicker, Enum, EnumMember) in the new
  Native.Schema namespace
- Point ModConfigSchema and ConfigTypeEmitter at the moved types via
  Schema.* qualification; all other callers unchanged

The renamed types were public but unused outside Launcher.Lib's Native
folder, so no caller migration is needed.

Keep the current configuration when reload fails.

If both Apply attempts fail, ConfigIO.Load returns a default-valued instance. OnConfigurationUpdated transfers the subscribers to that instance and disposes the valid current instance. A partial or temporarily locked write can therefore reset the live configuration.

Return a failure result after retry exhaustion. Replace the current instance only after Apply succeeds.

Preserve schema names across generated CLR identifiers.

MakeIdentifier changes unsupported characters, but persistence uses the generated property and enum names. This changes native JSON keys, breaks matching defaults, and can make distinct schema names collide.

- ModConfigurator: GetConfigurations throws if SetConfigDirectory was skipped

Should ideally be exposing the entire logging API.
This is sort of important. WriteLine by default is blocking.

If someone calls this from a place that gets executed a lot, e.g. from
a game hook; the framerate will tank.

Okay; there's 2 things that come to mind here.
This is char*.

Problem is, char* default depends on compiler. Currently setup in this PR defaults to MSVC, which would use ANSI, not UTF-8.

So someone passing in reloaded::log("ヘンタイ"); would encode 'hentai' as Shift-JIS, or whatever their native local system encoding is. Welcome to MSVC 😅

We might be able to resolve this with add_compile_options("$<$<CXX_COMPILER_ID:MSVC>:/utf-8>"); but the issue is that the documentation lists copying the header as an alternative setup means.

If someone copies the header to an existing project, that /utf-8 flag would not be there.

I think a cleaner way would be to avoid utf-8 altogether in case someone does that. It may be cleaner to use a wchar here, so this resolves to UTF-16; regardless of compiler used. It would also require no conversion on C# end.

Alternatively, if we can validate char* is UTF-8 in header to force right compile options, that'd work too. It's probably the better option if it can be done.

Actually, given nature of config file, UTF-8 may be better for convenience/consistency, just need to ensure that the C strings are actuall UTF-8
