ExitLineFromEnteredDoor

The ship's terminal radar draws a green line from the player it's watching to the facility exit — but only the person at the monitor ever sees it. This mod gives you that guidance inside the facility: scan, and a subtle trail of tiny green dots on the floor shows the way back out.

• Scan to drop the trail. Right-click scan and the trail appears along the navmesh route from where you scanned to your exit — it stays put (each scan re-anchors it), flows toward the door for a moment, settles still, and fades out after ~5 seconds. (OnlyShowAfterScan=false switches to an always-on trail that follows you.)
• The density points the way. Dots are packed tight next to the exit door and spread out the farther the path is from it — even a static glimpse tells you the direction.
• Green for the main entrance, red for a fire exit. The color tells you which way out you're being led before you've walked a step. Both colors are configurable.
• Subtle by design. Tiny floor-hugging pixel squares (size, height, spacing, and color all configurable), with a gentle breathing glow.
• Leads to the door you entered through (by default). If that's unknown — say you got teleported in — it falls back to the closest exit. Config can switch to closest-door or all-doors mode.
• Mineshaft aware. Deep in the mines, the trail leads you to the elevator first, just like the real radar's line does.
• Fully client-side. No networking, nothing required on other players, no other mods needed beyond BepInEx.

Config

Editable in r2modman's config editor (BepInEx/config/Haaylo.ExitLineFromEnteredDoor.cfg).

The two Conditions settings default to off so the trail just works — turn them on for the "someone must be watching the monitor" experience.

Notes

• The vanilla radar only ever points to the main entrance; this mod tracks the door you actually came in through (fire exits included).
• Dead/spectating players don't get a line, matching the radar's behavior.
• There's deliberately no "mirror onto the ship monitor" option: anyone watching the monitor already gets the game's own exit line for whoever the radar is targeting, and a client-side mod can't add anything to other players' monitors anyway.

Building from source

Run .\build.ps1 (optionally -Deploy to copy into your r2modman profile, -Package to produce the Thunderstore zip). It compiles directly against your local game and BepInEx DLLs with the Roslyn compiler from Visual Studio — no SDK or NuGet needed.

Changelog

1.0.1

• Re-release of 1.0.0 with no gameplay changes.

1.0.0

First public release, as ExitLineFromEnteredDoor.

Scan inside a facility to drop a trail of tiny pixels running from where you stood to the door you entered through — green when that's the main entrance, red when it's a fire exit. The dots hug the floor, sit denser the closer they get to the door, flow toward the exit for a moment after each scan, then settle and fade. Entirely client-side — only BepInEx is required.

Earlier version numbers below were development builds under the working name "RadarExitLine" and were never published.

0.3.0

• The trail is now a snapshot: scanning drops it from where you stood to the door, and it stays put instead of following you. Each new scan re-anchors it. (The always-on mode, OnlyShowAfterScan=false, still follows you.)
• Dots are now crisp screen-facing pixel squares instead of spheres.
• Default visibility window shortened to 5 seconds (was 8).
• Fixed: failed path computes (scanning while off the navmesh or standing on the door) now retry on a cooldown instead of every frame.

0.2.0

• Visual redesign based on playtesting: the line is now a trail of tiny green dots hugging the floor instead of a thick floating line.
• Dots are dense next to the exit door and spread out with distance, so the density gradient itself points the way out.
• The trail is hidden by default and revealed by scanning (right click); it fades out after 8 seconds. OnlyShowAfterScan=false restores the always-on behavior.
• Dots are static while idle; right after a scan they flow toward the exit and slow back down to a standstill.
• New config: DotSize, DotColor (hex), DotSpacingNear/Far/FarDistance, FlowSpeed. Removed: WorldLineWidth, IdleScrollSpeed, PulseSpeedMultiplier. LineHeight default is now 0.1 (was 1.25). Delete the old cfg to pick up new defaults.

0.1.0

• Initial release.
• In-facility green dotted exit line cloned from the ship radar's own line, following the same navmesh pathing.
• Breathing animation plus a scan-triggered pulse that flows from you toward the exit.
• Door modes: entered door (default, falls back to closest), closest door, all doors.
• Mineshaft: routes to the elevator while you're below, like the vanilla radar line.
• Optional gating: require a player in the ship, require the ship camera targeting you.
• Optional only-show-after-scan mode.
• Fully client-side; only BepInEx required.
