How To Develop

How To Keep The Game Patched

When patching, IPA automatically creates a shortcut that keeps everything up-to-date.

Arguments

IPA.exe file-to-patch [arguments]

• --launch: Launch the game after patching
• --revert: Revert changes made by IPA (= unpatch the game)
• --nowait: Never keep the console open

Unconsumed arguments will be passed on to the game in case of --launch.
