CapsulePath

A client-side navigation helper for Content Warning that draws a glowing route from where you are back to the capsule (the diving bell), with animated arrows pointing the way home.

How to use

• K — calculate / recalculate the route to the capsule
• O — show / hide the route

Both keys are rebindable in Settings → MODS. A short status message pops up on screen when you press them, so you always know what happened — for example 47 m to capsule, or a nudge to press K first if there's no route yet.

New here? Press K first to draw a route. O only shows/hides an already-calculated one, so on a fresh dive it looks like nothing happens.

Features

• Follows the real walkable route — stairs, slopes and corners included, instead of a straight line through the geometry
• Animated chevrons flow along the line toward the capsule
• Hidden from camera footage by default, so it never leaks into your clips or the camcorder viewfinder — toggle in settings
• On-screen status marker so you can always tell the path is active — toggle in settings
• Vanilla-compatible — does not affect random / public matchmaking
• Client-side only — no network traffic, nothing changes for other players

Installation

1. Install BepInExPack for Content Warning (listed as a dependency).
2. Install this package with your mod manager (or drop CapsulePath.dll into BepInEx/plugins/).
3. Launch the game. Start a dive, then press K to draw the route.

Notes

• The route targets the diving bell, so it only appears once you're on a dive.
• Everything is visual-only; it never touches gameplay, physics, or other players.

Changelog

0.3.0

• On-screen status marker: pressing the keys now shows a short message on the left of the screen (route length, "press K to calculate", a hint when the path is hidden, etc.), so you always get feedback — toggle "Show on-screen status" in Settings -> MODS
• The route now targets the actual diving bell object instead of an approximate anchor, so it leads to the capsule instead of stopping a few metres short

0.2.1

• Path now follows stairs and slopes instead of cutting under them: corner-to-corner chords are densified every 0.75 m and re-projected onto the NavMesh before smoothing

0.2.0

• Vanilla-compatible: the mod no longer affects random/public matchmaking (ContentWarning.VanillaCompatible assembly metadata)
• Path is hidden from in-game camera footage and the camcorder viewfinder (toggleable: Hide path in camera footage in Settings -> MODS, on by default)
• No more knots/loops in the path line: switched smoothing to centripetal Catmull-Rom and collapsed near-coincident NavMesh corners
• Keys are now rebindable in Settings -> MODS (Recalculate path key, Toggle path key)
• Fixed capsule anchor being re-recorded mid-dive when bot count dipped to zero
• Hotkeys no longer fire while menus are open (including during key rebinding)
• Path line now renders semi-transparent as intended (Sprites/Default shader)
• No more stale arrows frozen in the air on very short paths
• Partial NavMesh paths are logged as a warning

0.1.0

• Initial Thunderstore release
• Path rendering from current player position to capsule
• Manual controls (K recalc, O toggle)
• Visual tuning update (thinner path, scaled markers)
