FusionFriends (Quest)

Met someone cool in BONELAB Fusion? Save them once, then see where they are and jump into their lobby later. No codes, no asking around.

Made for BONELAB Fusion on PC and Quest. Tested on PC and on Quest (standalone). This is an early version, so please report anything odd.

How to install

With a mod manager (easiest)

1. Open r2modman or the Thunderstore Mod Manager and select BONELAB.
2. Search for Fusion Favorites and click Install (or "Install with dependencies").
3. The manager installs MelonLoader, BoneLib and Fusion for you if you don't have them.
4. Start the game from the manager.

On Quest (standalone)

The mod managers above are for PC. On Quest, install it the same way you install your other BONELAB mods: put FusionFavorites.dll in the game's Mods folder, with BoneLib and Fusion already installed. It then works the same as on PC.

Manually (PC)

1. Install MelonLoader for BONELAB, then install BoneLib and Fusion, and run the game once so everything sets itself up.
2. Download this mod and put FusionFavorites.dll in your BONELAB Mods folder, next to LabFusion.dll and BoneLib.dll.
3. Start the game.

If it worked, you'll see Fusion Favorites in BoneMenu. The first time it runs it also creates its save files in your UserData folder.

How it works

1. Add people

While you're in a Fusion lobby, open the wrist panel (or BoneMenu, then Fusion Favorites) and go to Add from this lobby. Everyone else in the lobby is listed. Select a name to save them. The mod remembers each person by their account ID, so they stay saved even if they change their display name.

2. See where your favorites are

Select Scan for friends. The mod does one search of the public lobbies Fusion lists for you and marks which of your favorites are online:

• Online friends move to the top, in green, with the map they're on.
• Open someone's profile to see their map, gamemode, lobby name, host, player count, privacy, voice chat, mortality, friendly fire and who else is in the lobby.
• Offline friends show when and where you last saw them.

The panel scans for you when you open it if your last scan is more than a minute old. The details are a snapshot from your last scan, so scan again to refresh them.

3. Join them

On a friend's profile, select Join lobby. The mod looks for a joinable lobby they're in and joins it the same way Fusion's own server browser does.

The wrist panel

• Open it: tap your right wrist twice with your left hand, both hands empty. It only opens when you do this on purpose, never by itself or just because you looked at your wrist. You can also open it from BoneMenu.
• Point: use your left hand. A small laser comes out of your hand, and the row you're pointing at lights up.
• Select: pull your left trigger or press X. Your left hand must be empty, so it can never fire something you're holding.
• Go back: point at the header at the top of the panel. Close: point at the red X (or use BoneMenu). It also closes on loading screens.
• Long lists have ^ more and v more rows at the bottom to scroll.

BoneMenu

The same lists are in BoneMenu, then Fusion Favorites. The Wrist panel page there can open or close the panel, change its size and position, nudge the laser, and make the wrist-tap area bigger or smaller if it opens too easily or not easily enough. Your choices are saved.

Good to know

• Same network layer: you and your friends must use the same Fusion network layer (BoneMenu, then BONELAB Fusion, then Network Layer Manager, then Target Layer).
• Lobby privacy is respected: you can only join lobbies that Fusion lists for you. Private and locked lobbies are skipped, and the mod doesn't try to get around any lobby setting.
• Only they can be found if they're online in a public lobby when you scan.
• Your data stays on your PC: favorites are saved in UserData/FusionFavorites.json, and panel settings in UserData/FusionFavorites.panel.json. Nothing is uploaded anywhere. Other players can't see your list or the panel.

Quest

Fusion Favorites works on Quest (standalone)**, and it was tested. The wrist panel, the pointer, scanning, and joining. It also works across both: you can save, scan, and join friends whether they're on PC or Quest, as long as you're on the same Fusion network layer.

Troubleshooting

• Panel won't open: tap your right wrist twice, quickly, with your left hand empty. If it's hard to trigger, make the tap area bigger in BoneMenu, then Fusion Favorites, then Wrist panel. You can also use Open or close panel there.
• Panel opens when you don't want it to: make the wrist-tap area smaller in the same menu.
• Laser in the wrong place: BoneMenu, then Fusion Favorites, then Wrist panel, then use the Pointer and Move buttons.
• Friend shows offline: they may be in a private lobby, on a different network layer, or not in a game right now. Try Scan again.
• Something's broken: check MelonLoader/Latest.log for lines mentioning Fusion Favorites.

Requirements
