Big Walk Public Lobbies

Browse every public room in Big Walk and join it with one click — no room code needed.

The game ships without a public lobby browser; this mod adds one. It lists all public rooms (Lobby + Session sources), lets you filter them, and joins through the original in-game flow (NetworkMinder.SetTransportAndConnect), so password-protected rooms and everything else behave exactly as in the vanilla "Join" screen.

Features

• One-click refresh with multi-round search: each refresh runs multiple search rounds and deduplicates results, so you can see far more rooms than a single EOS search (200) allows — up to a thousand or more when the game is busy.
• Search & filter: search box matches world name / host name; a "CN-only" toggle keeps only rooms whose name or host contains Chinese characters.
• Room info on cards: world name, host name and the 6-digit join code.
• Bilingual UI: automatically follows the game's own language (Chinese ⇄ English), including live switching.
• Join via the original game flow: no custom networking — the mod calls the exact same NetworkMinder.SetTransportAndConnect used by the vanilla join screen, so private/password rooms and error handling stay vanilla.
• Unlimited rooms: no cap on the room list.

Requirements

• BepInExPack IL2CPP (installed automatically)

Installation

1. Install BepInExPack IL2CPP (via Thunderstore Mod Manager / r2modman, or manually).
2. Install this mod (the mod manager handles everything).
3. Launch the game. A "Public Lobbies" button appears on the main menu (right side).

Usage

1. On the main menu, click Public Lobbies.
2. Click Refresh — the list fills up over a few seconds of multi-round searching (a live "Searching…" indicator shows progress).
3. Click a room card to select it, then Join Room — the original connection flow takes over.
4. Optional: type in the search box (world / host) or toggle CN-only.

Configuration

Edit BepInEx/config/BigWalkPublicLobbies.cfg:

Stale entries from older versions (e.g. MaxRooms) can be deleted from the .cfg file; the mod no longer limits the room list.

Compatibility

• Game: Big Walk (Unity 6000, IL2CPP)
• Loader: BepInEx 6 (IL2CPP)
• Language: follows the game (Chinese / English)
