Bazooka

A red-and-white bazooka for PEAK, built from the AntiZooka. Click to fire a rocket that explodes on impact: it throws zombies, scouts and creatures around, kills the critters that make the climb miserable, and cooks whatever food is lying in the blast. That is Standard mode, the default. Switch to RocketJump mode and it stops hurting scouts and becomes a way to fly up the mountain.

The bazooka is a new item. The vanilla AntiZooka stays as it is.

Install

1. Install Bazooka from Thunderstore with r2modman or Gale. It pulls in what it needs: BepInExPack for PEAK, PEAKLib Core and PEAKLib Items.
2. Launch PEAK from the mod manager. Starting the game from Steam skips BepInEx.

To install by hand, put PeakBazooka.dll in BepInEx/plugins/FakeGameDevelopers-Bazooka/ next to those dependencies.

In multiplayer, everyone needs the mod, on the same version.

Two modes

Pick one with Mode under [Bazooka]: Standard (the default) or RocketJump. You can switch mid-run; it applies on the next shot. In multiplayer, the host's mode applies to everyone.

Standard: stand back from your own blast. A floor shot at your feet throws you as a ragdoll, which gets you somewhere fast, at a cost.

RocketJump: rockets never hurt any scout, you included. Shoot the floor to go up, the floor behind you to go forward, a wall to go sideways. A rocket under you while you fall cancels the fall and launches you again, so you can chain jumps up a cliff.

What rockets do

A rocket flies straight with a slight drop and explodes on the first thing it touches. It still explodes if you put the bazooka away while it is in the air.

• The blast: a 3.5m fireball. Its push reaches 6m and is strongest in the middle: zombies, scouts, creatures and loose items go flying. Like any explosion in PEAK, it cooks the items lying in it.
• Zombies are knocked out by one rocket and stay down.
• Creatures: one rocket kills a spider (it drops whoever it was holding), beetle, scorpion, Gloom frog (it drops cooked frog legs), Caldera condor (it drops whoever it was carrying) or Mesa antlion.
• Scoutmaster Myres takes 3 rockets: each one knocks him down, the last sends him away for the rest of the map.
• Everything else: rockets smash Shore jellyfish, beehives, mandrakes and spore bombs, clear spore clouds, set off dynamite, scatter bee swarms, knock ticks off scouts and coconuts off palm trees, push tumbleweeds and Bing Bong around, and pop balloons.

Every target can be switched off under [Targets].

Where to find it

The bazooka spawns exactly like the vanilla AntiZooka: in the same places, just as often. The mod adds no spawn rules of its own.

On spawn (optional): with GiveBazookaOnSpawn = true, the host gives each scout a bazooka when they start the climb or join mid-run (Shore and later, once per player per run).

Each bazooka holds 5 rockets by default (Shots) and cannot be refilled. Shots = 0 makes ammo infinite.

Configuration

Settings are in BepInEx/config/PeakBazooka.cfg (created on first launch), or in-game with ModConfig. Changes apply while PEAK is running, on the next shot.

In multiplayer, Mode, Shots and everything under [Targets] come from the host, so the whole lobby plays by the same rules. Knockback travels with each hit, so the shooter's value counts. Everything else is per player.

Translations

The bazooka's name follows PEAK's language setting (all 15 languages). To change it, create BepInEx/config/PeakBazooka.localization.csv with a Key column and one column per language, for example:

Key,English,German
NAME_BAZOOKA,BAZOOKA,PANZERFAUST

Language columns are English, French, Italian, German, SpanishSpain, SpanishLatam, BRPortuguese, Russian, Ukrainian, SimplifiedChinese, TraditionalChinese, Japanese, Korean, Polish and Turkish. Empty cells keep the built-in text.

Try it out

1. Set GiveBazookaOnSpawn = true and host a run. On the Shore you start with a bazooka in your hand.
2. Press primary fire. A rocket flies out about every 0.8 seconds and explodes where it lands; nearby items get knocked around and cooked.
3. In Standard mode, shoot near another scout: they take Injury and fly. Shoot the floor at your own feet: you fly too, and lose a quarter of your health.
4. Set Mode = RocketJump and shoot the floor: you launch and steer with WASD. Fire at the ground again while falling to chain jumps. Nobody takes damage.

Changelog

1.0.2

• New Thunderstore page: a punchier description and a readme that is quicker to read (features at a glance, quick start, a target table and the main settings up front). No gameplay changes

1.0.1

• Spawning: the bazooka now spawns exactly like the vanilla AntiZooka, in the same places and just as often. The guaranteed Roots suitcases and the per-biome cap are gone
• Ammo: a bazooka holds 5 rockets by default (Shots = 5), with no refill; Shots = 0 is still infinite. Configs from 1.0.0 keep their saved value, so set Shots = 5 yourself if you want the new default
• Cleaner readme

1.0.0

First release.

• Bazooka: a red-and-white rocket launcher built from PEAK's AntiZooka (the vanilla AntiZooka is untouched). Click to fire a rocket, PEAK's own firework model, that explodes on the first thing it touches, even if you put the bazooka away mid-flight
• Two modes (Mode, the host's choice): Standard, the default, is a weapon: rockets injure and fling scouts and your own blast hurts you (SelfDamage 0.25). RocketJump never hurts scouts and turns your own blast into a rocket jump you steer with WASD, with no fall damage; a rocket under you while falling launches you again, so jumps chain
• Blast: a 3.5m fireball whose push reaches 6m (Knockback 30 m/s): zombies, scouts, creatures and loose items go flying, and items lying in it get cooked like in any PEAK explosion
• Targets: one rocket kills spiders, beetles, scorpions, frogs, condors and antlions and knocks out zombies; the Scoutmaster takes 3 (ScoutmasterHits). Rockets also hit jellyfish, beehives, mandrakes, spores, dynamite, bee swarms, ticks, coconuts, tumbleweeds, Bing Bong and balloons. Every target has its own switch under [Targets], all on
• Finding it: at least two suitcases in the Roots every run, rare rolls elsewhere (at most 4 per biome), or GiveBazookaOnSpawn for everyone at the start
• Ammo: infinite by default (Shots = 0)
• Multiplayer: Mode, Shots and [Targets] come from the host; every player needs the mod
• Configs from pre-release builds update themselves (RocketSpeed → MuzzleVelocity, [TF2] → [RocketJump], Mode = TF2 → RocketJump)

0.1.0 – 0.1.13

• Pre-release builds, never published
