Contributions summary:Shirui's primary contributions revolve around fixing issues and improving the stability of the Maplestory online extractor. They addressed null reference exceptions within the map rendering module and fixed issues arising from `Assembly.GetCallingAssembly()` calls. Additionally, the user modified build processes, incorporating the use of `ProjectDir` instead of `SolutionDir`. They also changed the use of `NoInlining` with `NoOptimization` to prevent issues related to tail call optimizations.
