RandomCreatureSize — 随机生物尺寸

English

Overview

Every creature in the game — seagulls, the whole fish family, crabs, albatrosses and bosses — gets a random visual size when it spawns. One value, s, drives everything:

appearance = weight = sell price = save = multiplayer — a single value throughout.

• Server-authoritative: the size is rolled on the server and written into the creature's synced weight field, so every client sees the exact same size (works in multiplayer with no extra sync).
• Per-axis jitter (±30% by default): length / width / height each jitter around s, derived deterministically from the object id — same body shape for everyone.
• Save persistence: a caught fish keeps its size after reloading (the saved weight is the size).
• Bosses use their own independent scale range (0.5–2 by default) and can be toggled separately.
• v1.1+: bigger creatures move slower (speed = 1 / size^exponent, floored) and HP scales linearly with size (×s, minimum 1).
• 100% vanilla when disabled: with every toggle off, behavior is identical to the unmodded game.

Installation

1. Install BepInEx 5 (BepInExPack for How to Fish) into the game directory.
2. Extract the zip and merge the BepInEx folder into the game folder (e.g. F:\steam\steamapps\common\How to Fish\How to Fish\).
3. Start the game through Steam (steam://rungameid/4001890). The mod auto-loads; check BepInEx\LogOutput.log for RandomCreatureSize.

The plugin lives at BepInEx\plugins\RandomCreatureSize\RandomCreatureSize.dll.

Configuration

First launch generates BepInEx\config\top.yw.randomcreaturesize.cfg — edit it while the game is closed (or use the in-game Mod Menu if installed).

模组简介

游戏内所有生物（海鸥、全鱼类家族、螃蟹、信天翁、Boss）在生成时获得随机外观尺寸。一个值 s 贯通一切：

外观 = 重量 = 售价 = 存档 = 联机 —— 一个值全通。

• 服务器权威：尺寸在服务器掷点并写入生物同步重量字段，所有客户端看到完全一致的大小（联机无需额外同步）。
• 分轴抖动（默认 ±30%）：长/宽/高在 s 附近各自随机，由 ObjectId 确定性派生 —— 所有人看到同一体型。
• 读档保持：钓上来的鱼读档后保持尺寸（存档重量就是 s）。
• Boss 独立倍率（默认 0.5–2），可单独开关。
• v1.1+：尺寸越大移动越慢（速度 = 1/尺寸^指数，有下限）；血量随尺寸线性变化（×s，最低 1）。
• 关闭全部开关后与原版完全一致。

安装方法

1. 先把 BepInEx 5（How to Fish 的 BepInExPack）装进游戏目录。
2. 解压本 zip，把 BepInEx 文件夹合并进游戏目录（如 F:\steam\steamapps\common\How to Fish\How to Fish\）。
3. 通过 Steam 启动游戏。插件自动加载，可在 BepInEx\LogOutput.log 中看到 RandomCreatureSize。

插件位置：BepInEx\plugins\RandomCreatureSize\RandomCreatureSize.dll

配置说明

首次启动生成 BepInEx\config\top.yw.randomcreaturesize.cfg，关闭游戏后编辑（装了 Mod Menu 也可在游戏内改）。
