BlueSage PlayerLimitLift

A host-only large-lobby patch for On-Together.

Current package: v1.1.1.

This lets a lobby host raise the player limit above the normal 16 players, up to 128 players.

It pairs nicely with BlueSage QoL Tweaks - Beta, but does not require it. PlayerLimitLift is the host-only big-lobby patch; QoL Tweaks is the optional players-and-hosts toolkit for longer text fields, style/status helpers, Focus Anywhere, player-panel helpers, sweep guardrails, reconnect guard, and host-health checks. When both are loaded, QoL Host Health can show the host's PlayerLimit cap/default/chat-relay state in diagnostics.

Should I Use This?

Use this mod if you are the person hosting a bigger On-Together lobby.

You probably want this if:

• You host lobbies with more than 16 players.
• You used officerballs PlayerLimitLift before and want a version for the latest On-Together update.
• You want shift-click lobby sizing and a simple config file for bigger cozy coworking rooms.

You probably do not need this if:

• You are only joining someone else's lobby.
• You are not hosting large lobbies.
• You are only trying to fix NickName1 showing in chat on your own client.

Only the HOST needs BlueSage PlayerLimitLift.

Players do not need to install this mod to join a larger lobby.

Players who want BlueSage's chat/ID/style/focus/reconnect QoL features can install BlueSage QoL Tweaks - Beta separately.

If You See NickName1 In Chat

If you are a player and chat names show up as NickName1, you probably still have the old officerballs PlayerLimitLift mod installed or enabled.

Fix:

1. Disable or remove old officerballs PlayerLimitLift.
2. Restart On-Together.
3. Join the lobby again.

You do not need BlueSage PlayerLimitLift unless you also host lobbies.

What It Does

• Lets the host set lobby size up to 128 players.
• Keeps the lobby size selector working past 16.
• Lets the host shift-click to change lobby size faster.
• Adds a config file after first launch.
• Keeps large-lobby hosting working after the latest On-Together update.
• Warns in the BepInEx console if another PlayerLimit-style mod is loaded or if config values were clamped to safe bounds.

Install With A Mod Manager

For hosts:

1. Disable or uninstall old officerballs PlayerLimitLift.
2. Install BlueSage PlayerLimitLift.
3. Start On-Together once so the config file is created.
4. Host your lobby and pick the player limit you want.

For players:

You do not need this mod unless you also host lobbies.

If you have old officerballs PlayerLimitLift installed and see NickName1, remove the old mod and restart.

Manual Install

For hosts:

1. Install BepInEx for On-Together.
2. Remove old officerballs.PlayerLimitLift.dll if you have it.
3. Put BlueSagePatched_PlayerLimitLift.dll in your BepInEx/plugins folder.
4. Start On-Together once so the config file is created.
5. Host your lobby.

For players:

Do not manually install this unless you also host. If you see NickName1, remove old officerballs PlayerLimitLift from your own BepInEx/plugins folder instead.

How To Use It

The host uses the normal lobby size controls.

• Click to change lobby size by 1.
• Shift+click to jump by the configured amount.
• Default shift-click jump: 16.
• Default lobby size: 16.
• Default maximum lobby size: 128.

After launching once, the config file appears here:

BepInEx/config/com.bluesage.ontogether.playerlimitlift.cfg

Startup Checks

When the host launches the game, BlueSage PlayerLimitLift writes a short BepInEx console note if:

• old officerballs PlayerLimitLift appears loaded;
• another PlayerLimit-style mod appears loaded;
• DefaultLobbySize, MaxLobbySize, or ShiftSkipRate had to be clamped.

Disabled backup files are not the problem. These checks are about mods BepInEx actually sees during startup.
