Extending RC Patcher

Make your own patcher

[Serializable]
public class MyPatcher : IKnotRcPatcher
{
    public IEnumerable<string> GetTargetFileExtensions()
    {
        return new[] { "exe" };
    }

    public Task<KnotRcPatcherResult> Patch(IEnumerable<string> filePaths, IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<string, string>> properties, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)
    {
        //Do my stuff

        return Task.FromResult(new KnotRcPatcherResult
        {
            FilesPatched = filePaths.ToList()
        });
    }
}

Make your own property provider

[Serializable]
public class MyPropertyProvider : IKnotRcPatcherPropertyProvider
{
    public IEnumerable<KeyValuePair<string, string>> GetProperties()
    {
        return new[] { new KeyValuePair<string, string>("MyKey", "MyValue") };
    }
}
