Auto Grab Climb

Auto Grab Climb performs PEAK's stamina-saving grab-release-regrab climbing technique for you. It keeps the tested vanilla climbing physics intact: the mod does not directly modify stamina, movement speed, or character forces.

Features

• Automatically repeats the grab-release-regrab technique while the activation controls are held.
• Uses PEAK's detected wall normal to choose the climbing method.
• Uses automatic grab-release on vertical walls and favorable slopes.
• Falls back to vanilla climbing on overhangs where grab-release is ineffective.
• Re-evaluates changing terrain during the climb and switches methods automatically.
• Client-side only; other players do not need to install it.
• No persistent HUD and only one mod hotkey.

How to Use

The mod starts disabled.

1. Press F7 once to enable Auto Grab Climb.
2. Approach the wall.
3. Hold Shift before starting the climb and keep holding it.
4. Hold W + Left Mouse Button.
5. Release any of those controls to stop the automatic cycle immediately.

Press F7 again to disable the mod. A short notification confirms the new state; the ON notification also reminds you of the controls.

Installation

Mod Manager

Install with the Thunderstore Mod Manager or r2modman. The required BepInEx pack is included as a package dependency.

Manual

1. Install BepInEx 5 for PEAK.
2. Place AutoGrabClimb.dll in:

PEAK\BepInEx\plugins\AutoGrabClimb\

1. Remove any older test copy of AutoGrabClimb.dll elsewhere under BepInEx\plugins.

Important Notes

• Shift must already be held before the climb begins and must remain held throughout the climb.
• The mod never releases or re-presses Shift, so it does not intentionally generate a vanilla sprint input edge while climbing.
• Automatic grab-release is disabled while holding an item to avoid conflicts with item use and pickup controls.
• The mod does not intervene while rope climbing, vine climbing, passed out, or using the emote or backpack wheel.
• Falling back to normal climbing on an unsuitable overhang is expected behavior.
• A future PEAK update may require a rebuilt version if internal game interfaces change.

Troubleshooting

If F7 appears to do nothing:

1. Confirm BepInEx starts successfully.
2. Confirm the DLL is under PEAK\BepInEx\plugins and not in a separate folder beside BepInEx.
3. Remove duplicate or older copies of AutoGrabClimb.dll.
4. Check PEAK\BepInEx\LogOutput.log for Auto Grab Climb 1.0.1 loaded.
5. If your keyboard uses media keys by default, try Fn + F7 or change the function-key mode.

Changelog

1.0.4 - 2026-09-13

• Adds native gamepad activation using PEAK's Move, Sprint/Sprint Toggle and Grab/Use Primary bindings.
• Adds a grounded, centered, one-second dual-stick-click toggle; retains F10.
• Fixes the native gamepad grab latch preventing automated releases.
• Aligns held-sprint handling during airborne automation and forward-input processing with the tested keyboard behavior.
• Preserves short manual grab taps for horizontal traversal. Slow presses can still enter automation and consume extra stamina.
• Retains established grab-release timing, aim correction and dynamic terrain fallback.
• Updates English controls and compatibility documentation.
• Removes experimental input, terrain and performance diagnostics while retaining startup, toggle and error logs.

v1.0.2 — 2026-09-03

• Changed the mod toggle hotkey from F7 to F10.
• Grab-release timing, terrain routing, stamina behavior, and all other gameplay logic are unchanged.

v1.0.1 — 2026-09-03

• Converted all in-game notifications and distributed documentation to English.
• Standardized the public author credit as TaXueXuex.
• Climbing timing, aim correction, terrain routing, and all gameplay behavior are unchanged from v1.0.0.

v1.0.0 — 2026-09-02

First public stable release by TaXueXuex.

• Uses the G7/R12 grab-release timing and regrab scheduling established through repeated in-game testing.
• Preserves the tested regrab aim correction and favorable-slope compensation.
• Dynamically evaluates the actual wall normal: unsuitable overhangs fall back to vanilla climbing, and automatic grab-release resumes after reaching a suitable surface.
• Starts disabled and uses F7 as the only mod hotkey.
• Displays a short English status and usage notification when F7 is pressed.
• Removes all tuning hotkeys, test groups, measurement logging, and the persistent HUD from the experimental builds.
• Does not directly modify stamina, movement speed, or character forces, and does not synthesize Shift input.
