✨ Features

• 🤖 Automatic Path Recording: Automatically records your movements in each level.
• 🎨 Visual Path Display: Displays recorded paths as visible lines in the game.
  • Red Lines: Your locally saved paths.
  • Blue Lines: Paths loaded from the cloud.
• 🎮 Modern UI: Clean interface that matches Peak's visual style.
• 📊 Difficulty Tracking: Tracks and saves ascent levels for each climb.
• 🌲 Full Biome Support: Includes support for all biomes, including the new Roots biome.
• 🔍 Advanced Filtering: Easy search and filter climbs through the UI.
• 🏞️ Biome-Specific Paths: Saves paths separately for each biome of the day
• ☁️ Cloud Synchronization: Optionally share your paths with other players via a server.
• ⌨️ Easy to Use: The F1 key opens the settings menu.
• 💾 Persistent Storage: Paths are saved between game sessions.
• 💀 Death Tracking: Optional saving of climbs that end in death (with special marking)

🚀 Installation

1. Install BepInEx via a Mod Manager (e.g., r2modman or Thunderstore Mod Manager).
2. Install FollowMe-Peak via the Mod Manager.
3. Start the game. The plugin is now active.

🕹️ Usage

The plugin automatically starts recording as soon as you enter a level.

Opening & Using the Menu

1. Press the F1 key to open or close the settings menu.
2. IMPORTANT: After opening the menu, press the ESC key to unlock your mouse cursor. You can now click the buttons in the menu.

In the menu, you can:

• Toggle Visibility: Click the small icon next to a path in the list to enable or disable its display in the game.
• Filter by Difficulty: Use ascent level filters to find climbs matching your skill level.
• Search Climbs: Easily find specific climbs using the search feature.
• Configure Cloud Sync: Activate/Deactive the cloud sync.
• Manage Paths: Delete paths you no longer need.

Paths are automatically saved whenever you light a campfire.

🔄 Map Rotation Note

When the map rotation occurs, all saved routes are reset. Someone needs to climb ahead and share their route with others to rebuild the path database for the new rotation.

☁️ Cloud Synchronization (Optional)

The plugin can connect to an optional server to share paths. Server setup is optional; the plugin works completely offline.

• Upload: Upload your paths to share them with others.
• Download: Download paths from other players.
• Automatic Sync: New paths are fetched from the server every time a level starts.

How to Share Your Path

1. Enable Cloud Synchronization in the settings menu (F1 > ESC).
2. Select your recorded path from the list.
3. Click the button to copy the "Peak Code" for that path.
4. Send this code to your friends. They can paste it into the menu to download your path.

💻 Compatibility

• Game: PEAK
• Framework: BepInEx 5.4.21 or newer
• Platform: Windows / Steam

🛠️ Troubleshooting

If the plugin doesn't work as expected:

1. Check BepInEx Installation: Ensure that BepInEx is installed correctly and that you are launching the game via the mod manager.
2. Check the Logs: Look for error messages in the BepInEx log file at BepInEx/LogOutput.log.
3. Restart: Restart the game completely after installing the plugin.

Changelog

[1.0.9] - 2026-08-14

New Features

• Community rating system - Rate cloud climbs with 1-5 stars directly in the mod menu. The average rating and vote count are shown on every climb, and your own vote can be changed at any time.
• Community cheat reporting - Report suspected cheated climbs via the report button (with confirmation dialog). Climbs with 3 or more community reports get a warning badge for everyone.
• Best climbs first - The climb list is now sorted by community rating by default, so the best routes appear at the top. Sorting by duration via the menu still works as before.

Fixes

• Fixed uploads failing permanently after rate limiting (HTTP 429) - Uploads that hit the server rate limit are now retried automatically with an increasing delay instead of being dropped.

[1.0.8] - 2026-08-12

Fixes

• Fixed micro-stuttering during gameplay - The fly-mod detection scanned every object in the scene twice per second. It now only checks the local player using cached data, eliminating the recurring performance spikes.
