PeakCompass

A client-side compass mod for PEAK that helps you track your teammates in real-time during multiplayer sessions.

Features

Compass Bar UI

A sleek horizontal compass bar appears at the top of your screen showing:

• Colored dots for each teammate - dots match each player's in-game skin color
• Real-time position tracking - dots move left/right based on the player's bearing relative to your camera direction
• Distance display - a label below each dot shows the distance in meters to that player
• Dynamic color updates - if a player changes their skin color, the dot updates automatically

How It Works

• Players directly in front of you appear in the center of the compass bar
• Players to your left appear on the left side, players to your right appear on the right
• The further left or right a dot is, the more you need to turn to face that player
• Distance labels help you gauge how far away teammates are

Technical Details

• Uses Photon PUN2 networking callbacks to detect when players join or leave
• Retrieves player positions using the game's Character.Center property for accurate real-time tracking
• Automatically handles scene reloads and reconnections
• Dot colors are retrieved from Character.refs.customization.PlayerColor to match in-game skins

Installation

Requirements

• BepInEx 5 - the modding framework for Unity games

Steps

1. Install BepInEx 5 for PEAK if you haven't already
2. Download the latest PeakCompass release from Thunderstore
3. Extract the contents so that PeakCompass.dll is placed in your BepInEx/plugins folder
4. Launch PEAK and join a multiplayer session

File Structure

PEAK/
└── BepInEx/
    └── plugins/
        └── PeakCompass.dll

Usage

Once installed, the compass automatically appears when you're in a multiplayer session with other players. There's nothing to configure - it just works!

• Join a multiplayer game - the compass will show dots for all other players
• Look around - watch the dots move as players change position relative to you
• Check distances - glance at the numbers below each dot to see how far away teammates are
• Find lost teammates - use the compass to navigate toward players who are far away

Compatibility

• Client-side only - does not require the host or other players to have the mod installed
• No server modifications - works on any multiplayer session
• Works with other mods - designed to be compatible with other BepInEx mods

Troubleshooting

Compass not appearing?

• Make sure you're in a multiplayer session with at least one other player
• Check that the mod is loaded by looking for PeakCompass in the BepInEx console output
• Try rejoining the session

Dots not moving correctly?

• The mod uses the game's internal position tracking which may have brief delays for network players
• Positions are sampled from the character's torso for accuracy

Colors not showing?

• Player colors are retrieved from the game's customization system
• If a color can't be retrieved, dots default to red
