README

Console Mod

Console Mod adds an extensible in-game command console to How to Fish for players and future community mods.

Press ` — the BackQuote key below Esc on most keyboards — to open or close the console. Escape also closes it.

Features

Persistent command history using the Up and Down arrow keys.
Command and alias completion using Tab.
Support for quoted arguments.
Safe player-input blocking while the console is open.
Cursor and player-input restoration when closing.
Thread-safe public command API for other BepInEx mods.
Does not pause the game, preserving multiplayer behavior.

Installation

Mod manager — recommended

Install ConsoleMod using Thunderstore Mod Manager, r2modman, or Gale. The required BepInEx pack is installed automatically.

Manual installation

Install BepInEx 5.4.23.5 x64.
Extract the package into the inner game folder containing How to Fish.exe.
Confirm this file exists:

BepInEx/plugins/ModConsole/HowToFish.ModConsole.dll

Controls

Key	Action
`	Open or close Console Mod
`Escape`	Close Console Mod
`Up` / `Down`	Navigate command history
`Tab`	Complete a command or alias
`Enter`	Execute the current command

Built-in commands

Command	Description
`help [command]`	Lists commands or explains one command
`clear`	Clears visible console output
`plugins [filter]`	Lists loaded BepInEx plugins
`scene`	Shows active and loaded Unity scenes
`echo <text>`	Prints text back to the console
`console`	Shows Console Mod and API information

Dynamic Weather automatically registers the weather command and its clima alias when both packages are installed.

API for mod developers

Reference HowToFish.ModConsole.dll at build time without bundling a second copy inside your package:

IDisposable registration = ModConsoleApi.RegisterCommand(
    "my.mod.guid",
    "mycommand",
    "Short command description.",
    "mycommand <value>",
    args => "Result: " + string.Join(" ", args),
    "alias");

Dispose the returned registration from your plugin's OnDestroy method. ModConsoleApi.ApiVersion is 1 in this release. Mods can keep Console Mod optional by locating the API through reflection.

Configuration

BepInEx/config/fernando.howtofish.modconsole.cfg

Console.Tecla — open/close key; default BackQuote.
Console.MaximoDeLinhas — visible history limit; range 50–1000.

Persistent command history is stored separately in BepInEx/config/fernando.howtofish.modconsole.history.txt.
