HostOptions

Version 1.4.3

Extra lobby options for the host: infinite stamina, starting money, and difficulty and economy settings.

Only the host needs it. Other players don't see the controls.

Install

Use the installer, or install MelonLoader (x64, 0.7.x) into the game folder, run the game once, then copy HostOptionsRuntime.dll from this patch's release into the game's Mods folder.

Options

In the lobby menu (Esc), under "Use Entry Password", or in Patches > HostOptions on the main menu:

• Infinite Stamina: nobody's stamina drains. Monsters are unaffected.
• STARTING MONEY: the funds a run starts with (game default $15). Type a value and press Enter or click away. Empty or invalid resets to the default. Changing it before the first departure also sets your current funds.

In Patches > HostOptions only:

• Difficulty: Easy, Normal or Hard sets the four sliders below. Move any slider for a custom mix.
• Quota / repair: money needed to repair the tram (25%-300%).
• Shop prices: cost of shop items.
• Sell value: money you get for selling items.
• Monsters: how many monsters and mimics spawn in a level.
• Apply to: All games (default) also uses these on runs you continue from a save; New games only leaves loaded saves at normal values.

These stack with BiggerLobby's scaling for big groups.

Settings are saved on your PC.

Uninstall

Use the installer's Uninstall selected, or delete HostOptionsRuntime.dll from the game's Mods folder. Installed with Gale or r2modman? Remove or disable it there instead.
