Summit Watch

Catch cheaters and soundboard spammers in your PEAK lobby. Summit Watch watches every other scout and shows how likely each one is to be griefing, like an AI-text detector for gameplay. It says CONFIRMED only when it has proof of a cheat menu.

Only you need it installed. It works as host or client, in any lobby.

What it catches

Self-shield: your game refuses commands from other players' games that would kill, knock out, teleport, petrify or stick your scout (only you and the host can do those in vanilla), bursts of shoves, and the mute and force-win commands the game never sends. Then it tells the other games you're fine. A flinging player's body stops colliding with yours for 30 s, so touching you can't launch you. ([Shield] in the config.)

Flood guard: when someone dumps a pile of spawned items (say 100 mandrakes), Summit Watch removes them before the lobby crashes. As host it deletes them for everyone and blocks that player's further spawn requests; otherwise it switches them off on your own screen so your game stays smooth.

Spawn cleanup: items Summit Watch judges as illegally spawned are removed. As host, the ones it's certain about (made by the cheater's own game, right in front of them or into their hands) are deleted for everyone, even out of their inventory, and unexplained spawn requests are refused; everything else is removed from your screen only. Choose how sure it must be with [SpawnCleanup] Level (Everything / Strong / Proof).

Voice is analysed in memory as loudness numbers only. Nothing is recorded or saved.

Evidence fades over a few minutes, so one weird moment won't brand anyone. Without proof, a single kind of evidence can't push anyone past Watch: reaching Likely takes two independent signals (for example movement plus stamina). Signals that come from one event, like one sound or one launch, count once. Victims who are flung or teleported by someone else aren't blamed, and lag is taken into account.

How to use

• Press F2 to open the panel. Each scout has a %, a band (Clean, Watch, Likely, Very likely, CONFIRMED) and the reasons.
• Click a name to open their profile: platform id (Copy ID), host tag, whether they're alive and what they're holding, each detector's strength and reliability, and a scrollable list of every offense with its time. Copy report puts the whole thing on your clipboard for Discord or a report.
• Warn lobby posts a message in the join/leave feed of everyone who has Summit Watch, and copies it to your clipboard so you can paste it into Steam or Discord chat for everyone else.
• Mute silences a player for you (PEAK's own per-player mute).
• Roles (host only): in a player's profile the host picks Not trusted, Trusted (may mod: their items and spawns are left alone) or Shield bypass (also gets through everyone's shield and can kick). Everyone with Summit Watch in the lobby uses the host's list, so nobody disagrees. If the host doesn't have Summit Watch, nobody is trusted. In someone else's lobby you can still set your own saved roles ("Saved for when you host"), so the people you always play with are ready the next time you host.
• Kick: the host and shield-bypass players can kick not-trusted players (the host can kick anyone). Trusted players can Request kick; the host or a shield-bypass player answers with one click. A cheater whose menu ignores the kick is muted and blocked for everyone with Summit Watch.
• Evidence log: BepInEx/SummitWatch/logs/, one file per launch, ready to attach to a report.

Config

BepInEx/config/summitwatch.cfg: panel key, toasts, how fast evidence fades, your roles for when you host, auto-kick on CONFIRMED ([Kick] AutoKickConfirmed, off by default), and per-detector on/off, weight, cap and threshold.

Notes

• Summit Watch only kicks when the host, a shield-bypass player or an approved request says so (or auto-kick, if the host turned it on). Otherwise it acts only on commands aimed at your own scout (see Self-shield), illegally spawned items and, when you host, unexplained "spawn this for me" requests (see Spawn cleanup and Flood guard). Trusted players are never acted on. If it ever removes a legit item, lower [SpawnCleanup] Level.
• PEAK's kick only asks the player's game to leave, so a cheat menu can ignore it. Summit Watch then treats them as gone for everyone who has it; players without it still see them.
• Other mods that move players around (or fly, spawn items, etc.) will show up as suspicious. That's what the trust list is for.
• An RPC aimed at a single other player isn't visible to you, so some cheats only show up for their target.
• Inventory or hotbar mods that create items their own way can look like an "Impossible item" (proof). The host can trust their users, or set [Detector.ImpossibleItem] Enabled = false.
• A cheater can make the host create items "for" someone else. When you're the host, Summit Watch blames the real requester; otherwise the evidence lands on whoever the item appeared at, which is never proof on its own.

Changelog

0.1.4

• Approve mod kicks (host, on by default): a shield-bypass player's kick becomes a Kick / Ignore prompt for the host instead of happening at once, and their game says it was sent for approval.
• Mod-friendly mode: a panel button that pauses everything Summit Watch does to your own game (shield, anti-fling, lag guard, hiding items, blocking players who ignored a kick), so it can't clash with your other mods. Detection, the %, warnings and host actions keep working.
• Flight lock (host): a player caught flying twice in 10 minutes (or CONFIRMED) is pulled down on every takeoff within about a second, without needing new detections. Shown as "flight lock" in the panel and mini overlay; Unlock in their profile.
• Host rescue: when you host, any player flung at an impossible speed is pulled back to where they last stood, even if they don't have Summit Watch (their own Summit Watch's rescue goes first when they do).
• Fix: flying or noclipping with your own mod no longer gets you yanked back. The "flown around / dragged through rock" rescue now only acts if another player pushed, kicked, grabbed, teleported or flung at you in the last 5 s.
• Walking on air: a new detector for fly cheats that fake being on the ground (they walk or stand idle in mid-air on your screen). Summit Watch looks under them itself, so the cheat can't hide by claiming anything.
• Defying gravity: catches fly cheats that keep the normal falling animation: in the air but hovering, rising or sinking steadily instead of falling, judged from their real positions within about 2 seconds.
• Ground flyers (host): a not-trusted player caught flying is teleported back to where they last stood. Toggle it with the panel's Ground flyers button; a menu that blocks it is called out so you can kick.
• Unkick: a Kicked this session list in the panel with an Unkick button (host, and shield bypass for not-trusted players). Unkicked players can rejoin without being kicked again, and someone who ignored a kick stops being treated as gone.

0.1.3

• Mini overlay: names and % in a corner while you keep playing. Ctrl+0 now cycles mini overlay, full panel, off (F2 no longer opens the panel; change it with [General] PanelShortcut).
• Lag guard: spawned piles keep only their 10 nearest items active on your screen once 15+ of a type are around you, and at most 3 explosions a second play, so a dynamite flood can't freeze your game.
• Kick guard: "super kicks" (too strong, too long a knockdown, or from too far away) are refused and logged as an impossible push. The host can turn kicking off for everyone with Summit Watch from the panel.
• Rescue: being flown around or dragged through rock by a cheat now sends you back too, and every rescue goes to the last place you were standing stably.

0.1.2

• Single pushes far stronger than anything in the game (the usual "fling player" button), absurd knockdowns and fake revives that teleport you are refused.
• Anti-fling in layers: fast bodies are blocked before they touch you, impossible pushes are undone, and you're teleported back to safety if you're flung anyway.
• Rejoin spam: more than 3 join/leaves in 2 minutes means a kick on the next join.
• Demoting someone to Not trusted removes everything they spawned while trusted.
• Bouncing between mushrooms no longer counts as flight.

0.1.1

• The evidence log's path is hidden in the panel unless you click Show path.

0.1.0

• First release: the 0-99% griefing score with CONFIRMED proof, soundboard detection, profiles and reports, warnings, the self-shield and anti-fling, flood guard and spawn cleanup, and host roles and kicking.
