CrewMonitors

Lethal Company BepInEx mod that adds a fixed 4-panel crew monitor stack on the ship wall. Each panel shows OpenBodyCams body cams (and map / external views via the cycle button).

Thunderstore: MrGlim-CrewMonitors
Source: lc-crew-monitors
Game: Lethal Company (BepInEx)

Networking: Install with OpenBodyCams on host and clients for monitor feeds. This is display QoL on top of OpenBodyCams — no extra host-only gate beyond OBC itself.

Requirements

• BepInEx Pack
• Zaggy1024-OpenBodyCams (hard dependency)

OpenBodyCams notes

• If you use LethalLib, OpenBodyCams may require buying the antenna ship upgrade before body cams work.
• GeneralImprovements “better monitors” remaps which panel OpenBodyCams claims; this mod skips any renderer already owned by an OpenBodyCams body cam and never steals Cube.001 (OBC’s default main panel).
• This mod does not change OpenBodyCams quality settings (e.g. HorizontalResolution); configure those in the OpenBodyCams profile.
• Screen look matches OpenBodyCams MonitorEmissiveColor. ScreenBrightness only scales night-vision fill on crew body cams (keeps interior feeds from going milky).

Behavior

1. Always 4 panels (default MaxMonitors=4, vertical stack). Living players fill from the bottom up. Empty slots stay Off (black). There is no round-robin duplication past 4 players.
2. By default (PreferReuseVanillaScreens=false) leaves vanilla door/internal cams alone and clones SingleScreen panels on the main monitor wall (Cube.001), flush via localBounds depth + WallInset.
3. Cycle button (bottom-right of each panel): grey bezel cylinder with a white face. Uses the vanilla hand cursor. Cycle order per panel:
   • Off → player0 body → player0 map → player1 body → player1 map → … → External → Off
4. Hover a panel: transparent cursor (no hand icon clutter). Tooltip shows the player name (and “Map” when on map feed). Tooltip is hidden for Off / External.
5. Click a panel: focuses the ship main radar / teleporter target on that panel’s assigned player (mapScreen.SwitchRadarTargetAndSync).
6. Optional world-space TMP nameplates under each monitor (ShowNameplates).
7. AlwaysShowMonitors=true keeps all panel meshes visible; empty / Off slots stay black rather than hiding the frame.

Config (BepInEx/config/com.benhough.lethal.CrewMonitors.cfg)

2. Install dependency Zaggy1024-OpenBodyCams from Thunderstore.

Changelog

1.0.33

• Clicking one crew panel to focus the big radar no longer leaves every panel on that player. Each slot keeps its own player; if a radar sync overwrites a body cam, that slot puts its own target back.
• Each panel gets its own screen material, so one slot's feed texture cannot show up on the others.
• A cycled panel remembers its player instead of a shared list index, so someone joining or leaving does not pin every cycled monitor to the same crewmate.

1.0.32

• Per-player map feeds use dedicated follower cameras + private RenderTextures (no longer share mapScreen RT / radar target). Multiple panels can show different players' maps; main radar / click-to-focus unchanged.

1.0.31

• Thunderstore polish: README/config table match live defaults; packaging synced to 1.0.31.

1.0.24 – 1.0.30

Feature arc since the early cycle-button builds:

• Fixed 4-panel stack with bottom-up fill; empty slots Off; no round-robin past MaxMonitors.
• Cycle order: Off → each living player body → that player’s map radar → … → External → Off.
• Cycle button restyled as a grey bezel cylinder with white face (bottom-right); hand cursor on buttons.
• Panel hover: transparent cursor; player-name tooltip (hidden for Off / External).
• Click panel focuses main radar / teleport target.
• Screen emissive matches OpenBodyCams MonitorEmissiveColor; ScreenBrightness only scales night-vision fill (default 0.2).
• Placement defaults tuned (WallInset, grid offsets, CloneScaleFactor, yaw).
• Map-feed restore so body-cam RenderTexture returns correctly after map view.

1.0.20

• Darker default ScreenBrightness (earlier pass).
• Cycle includes Off; AlwaysShowMonitors keeps panel mesh with black screen + nameplate "Off".

1.0.14

• Cycle buttons are always a bright orange cube (unlit) — no longer clones tiny/invisible vanilla CameraMonitorSwitchButton meshes.
• Placement uses the panel face (two largest localBounds axes) with bottom-right + cabin-facing depth push.
• Larger default size; interact hitbox kept slightly larger than the visible mesh.

1.0.13

• Per-monitor cycle button (bottom-right): cycles that panel among living controlled players.
• Click the monitor panel to focus the ship's main radar / teleporter target.
• Sticky living assignments so refresh no longer overwrites a cycled player until they die/disconnect.

1.0.7

• Fix panels floating in the cabin: never clone Cube.001; prefer SingleScreen (Quad fallback).
• Parent clones to Cube.001 with localRotation=identity; place on the wall plane using Cube.001 MeshRenderer.localBounds.
• Does not change OpenBodyCams quality settings.

1.0.2

• Whitelist real screens only; PreferReuseVanillaScreens default false; clone grid relative to Cube.001.

1.0.1

• Host-gated networking where applicable, packaging polish.

1.0.0

• Initial release: per-player OpenBodyCams feeds on ship monitors.
