LethalPhonePOV 1.0.1

This is HEAVILY based off 'https://thunderstore.io/c/lethal-company/p/TeamBoy113/LethalFaceTime/'

This meant to mostly work with ModelReplacementAPI so a normal suit WILL appear invisible, may later on make a patch that fixes this but using custom suits is the intended use

Displays the connected player's point of view on your LethalPhones handset. Accept a normal phone call and open your phone: the video replaces its display for the duration of the call. Hanging up restores the original display.

This is a separate replacement for LethalFaceTime. It uses LethalPhones for the existing call and OpenBodyCams for local rendering. It does not transmit webcam footage or add network messages, prefabs, or RPCs.

For a manual installation, extract the ZIP into the profile root. The DLL belongs at BepInEx/plugins/LethalPhonePOV/LethalPhonePOV.dll. It is a normal plugin; do not put it in BepInEx/patchers.

Each player who wants to see video needs this add-on locally. The host does not relay video. A phone-only peer can still use the normal audio call.

Behavior

• Shows the other player's POV, using OpenBodyCams' player targeting API.
• Starts video for an accepted call, after both ends connect.
• No separate FaceTime button or bodycam antenna purchase is required.
• Shows the full camera image with black bars where needed.
• Pauses rendering while the handset is closed; resumes when it opens.
• Restores the normal phone UI at hangup without changing its widgets.
• Retries when the remote phone, camera setup, or handset canvas arrives late.
• Recreates the overlay if the phone model is replaced.
• Releases its own camera textures and restores the vanilla interior culler after the call. A pre-disabled culler is left disabled.

The default video is 384 x 288 at 24 FPS. Change Video/Width, Video/Height, or Video/FramesPerSecond in BepInEx/config/BruhMMods.LethalPhonePOV.cfg. OpenBodyCams still supplies its camera perspective, weather, night vision, and model compatibility behavior.

Implementation references: Unity player-loop API, Unity pre-canvas event, OpenBodyCams ship initialization.

Changelog

1.0.2

• Optimization patch

1.0.1

• Replaced the two game Update Harmony hooks with an independent Unity player-loop delegate, backed up by the pre-canvas event. The supplied 1.0.0 logs never reached the first update marker; the external cause is not established.
• Removed silent process-wide teardown from the bootstrap component's OnDestroy. Component destruction is now logged; runtime cleanup belongs to application quit.
• Checks the current loop after scene loads and repairs a removed callback without resetting other mods' loop entries. Prevents duplicate and reentrant frame work.
• Added explicit runtime, scene, missing-texture, canvas, and first-frame diagnostics.
• When Hide and Seek is installed, guards only OpenBodyCams' initial ship-radar switch against missing HNS player/config data. Does not remove global HNS patches, change initialized seeker restrictions, or suppress unrelated errors.

1.0.0

• Added player POV video for connected LethalPhones handset calls.
• Drives the session from game update hooks, with a per-frame guard.
• Resolves the caller using its network object ID on each peer.
• Added readiness retries, caller changes, handset visibility handling, texture rebinding, and session cleanup.
• Added startup, screen, camera, and first-render diagnostics.
• Built against v81 / LethalPhones 1.3.23 / OpenBodyCams 3.0.12.
• Declares the original LethalFaceTime incompatible to prevent duplicate feeds.
