Dorito is the first publicly available modloader for CrossCode, released sometime during the forum days. As it's the first modloader project ever, it was very bare-bones compared to the modern modloaders as the useful modding infrastructure simply hasn't been invented yet at the time. The major feature of Dorito was a collection of utilities for monkey-patching JS functions, along with a few game loading events implemented with github:millermedeiros/js-signals which resemble the modern mod loading stages. Another feature that made Dorito unique was its installation procedure: the loader was contained in a single HTML page which you had to replace node-webkit.html with.

Unfortunately neither any Dorito-based mods, nor relevant forum threads survived to this day. Parts of the "General Modding Thread" can be viewed on web.archive.org (only pages 1 and from 8 to 11), however, there are no mentions of Dorito-the-modloader there.
