Aim Any Time

A BepInEx mod for Mycopunk that lets you aim while reloading, sliding, and sprinting — without losing reload animation feedback.

Features

• Aim While Reloading: Stay in ADS (FOV/aim state) during reloads.
• Show Reload Anim While Aiming: Temporarily hide the aim pose during reload so the reload animation is visible and you can tell when you're ready to fire again.
• Aim While Sliding: Allow aiming during slides (uses the same player override as the vanilla Aim While Sliding upgrade).
• Aim While Sprinting: Allow aiming during sprint without cancelling sprint.

Getting Started

Dependencies

• Mycopunk (base game)
• BepInEx - Version 5.4.2403 or compatible
• .NET Framework 4.8
• HarmonyLib (included via NuGet)

Building/Compiling

1. Clone this repository
2. Open the solution file in Visual Studio, Rider, or your preferred C# IDE
3. Build the project in Release mode to generate the .dll file

Alternatively, use dotnet CLI:

dotnet build --configuration Release

Installing

Via Thunderstore (Recommended):

1. Download and install via Thunderstore Mod Manager
2. The mod will be automatically installed to the correct directory

Manual Installation:

1. Place the built AimAnyTime.dll in your <Mycopunk Directory>/BepInEx/plugins/ folder

Executing program

The mod loads automatically through BepInEx when the game starts. Check the BepInEx console for loading confirmation messages.

Configuration

Access mod settings through the BepInEx configuration file at <Mycopunk Directory>/BepInEx/config/sparroh.aimanytime.cfg:

Config changes are hot-reloaded while the game is running.

How it works (short)

Vanilla ADS uses a full (non-additive) aim animation layer that covers the base layer. Enabling aim-while-reload alone keeps that layer up and hides the reload. This mod keeps ADS state on during reload, but drops the aim layer for the reload so the clip and its ammo events stay readable.

Help

• Mod not loading? Verify BepInEx is installed correctly and check console logs for errors
• Reload still invisible? Ensure both Can Aim While Reloading and Show Reload Anim While Aiming are enabled
• Aiming still blocked while sprinting? Ensure Can Aim While Sprinting is enabled; some weapons use a sprint lock that this setting clears
