PersonalHelper

It knows everything.

A small atmospheric horror mod for Lethal Company. No new enemies, no new gear: only the feeling that something in the facility is aware of you.

Events

1. Distant Sound (85% chance, once per round) The first time anyone steps inside the facility, a sound plays somewhere far away from you. Everyone in the lobby hears it, each from their own direction.

2. Vigil (67% chance per round) Stay inside the facility long enough and music starts, everywhere at once, for everyone. It keeps rising for 1:30. Then something appears in front of you, and you die.

Rare flashes While you are inside, a single frame of something occasionally replaces your screen. Too fast to be sure you saw it.

F7 event 1 - F8 event 2 - F9 image only - F10 random flash - F11 reset round state. Disable them in the config before you play seriously.

Custom sounds and images

Everything is loaded at runtime from BepInEx/plugins/PersonalHelper/Assets. Drop your own .ogg/.wav/.mp3 and .png files into the subfolders and restart the game. See the included PDF guide for the full layout.

Changelog

Changelog

0.3.0

Added

• Video event. Admin only. Pick a player, a full screen video takes over their screen for 11 seconds (configurable per call), audio included, then it hard cuts back. Streamed from Assets/videos, so file size costs nothing until it plays. F12 plays one locally for testing.
• New asset folder videos/ for .mp4 / .webm / .m4v / .mov.
• New config section Video: Seconds, Volume, KillPlayer.

Changed

• Music no longer loops. Vigil and lockdown tracks play once and stop. Make your track at least as long as the buildup.

0.2.0

Renamed to PersonalHelper. The assembly, the namespace, the plugin folder and the config file all changed, so delete the old install before dropping this one in.

Added

• The Stalker. Walk forward long enough without turning and something spawns behind you. It never moves. The moment you turn around and it enters your view, a full screen image and a sound hit you, then fade out quietly. Cooldown and a per-round cap so it stays rare. Non-lethal by default.
• Lockdown. Admin triggered, only when every living player is inside. The main entrance stops working, fire exits stay open, a full screen image pulses dim to bright, global music plays and a countdown synced to the server clock runs on everyone's HUD. Whoever is still inside at zero gets the payoff.
• Admin panel (F6). Gated by SteamID64 and validated on the host, so editing your own config does nothing. Fire any event at one player or at the whole lobby, start and lift lockdowns, see who is inside.
• New asset folders: sounds/meme, images/meme, images/lockdown.
• New config sections: Stalker, Lockdown, Admin.

Changed

• Plugin GUID is now experimenter.personalhelper, config lives at BepInEx/config/experimenter.personalhelper.cfg.
• Plugin path is now BepInEx/plugins/PersonalHelper/PersonalHelper.dll.
• Event playback moved behind a single host-authoritative handler: the host rolls, clients only play.

0.1.0

Added

• Event 1 - Distant Sound. 85% chance, once per round, fires when the first player enters the facility. Per-player randomized direction and distance.
• Event 2 - Vigil. 67% chance per round, 60 s inside triggers a global 90 s buildup, then stinger + full screen image + death.
• Rare flashes. 4% per minute while inside, single frame, host broadcast.
• Runtime asset loading from Assets/ for .ogg / .wav / .mp3 / .png.
• Debug hotkeys F7-F11.
• Config at BepInEx/config/experimenter.personalhelper.cfg.
