Fog Distance

Fog Distance is a client-side PEAK HUD that tells you how much room and time you have before the rising hazard reaches you.

Features

• Shows the shortest clearance to PEAK's current shrinking fog boundary.
• Shows vertical clearance for legacy flat fog and the rising lava in The Kiln/Peak.
• Displays START: mm:ss while the game exposes a countdown before the hazard begins moving.
• Displays START: WAITING on the first segment while fog is waiting for the team's progression trigger.
• Displays ETA: mm:ss once the hazard is moving.
• Calculates ETA for the player's current fixed position; it does not extrapolate player movement.
• Automatically follows the currently spectated player while you are dead.
• Uses PEAK's own Binggrae Bold interface font.
• Changes from white to orange when the hazard is within 10 metres, then red in danger.
• Does not patch Photon, send RPCs, or modify lobby/network state.

The two-line indicator appears in the upper-left corner:

FOG: 38.4 m
ETA: 01:27

On the final lava segments it switches automatically:

LAVA: 16.8 m
START: 00:42

START: WAITING means that the hazard starts from a gameplay trigger and PEAK does not provide a numeric countdown. On the initial segment, fog starts after every living player has crossed the configured height and forward-progress thresholds. ETA: --:-- means the hazard is currently stopped or its arrival time is unavailable.

Installation

Install with a Thunderstore-compatible mod manager. The required PEAK BepInEx pack will be installed automatically.

For a manual installation, install BepInEx 5 for PEAK and copy PeakFogDistance.dll into:

PEAK/BepInEx/plugins/PeakFogDistance/

Only the local player needs this mod. It does not have to be installed by the host or other lobby members.

Notes

• ETA answers: "How long until the hazard reaches the point where this player is standing now?"
• When the player moves, the value is recalculated for the new current position.
• Game-controlled pauses also pause the displayed start countdown.

Changelog

1.5.1

• Remove the black HUD panel so the overlay consists only of text.
• Preserve readability with the existing configurable outline and a subtle TextMeshPro underlay shadow when PEAK's font material supports it.
• Remove panel padding so configured offsets measure directly to the visible text.
• Keep pause labels after the timer on every timed row, including the campfire row.

1.5.0

• Replace the legacy IMGUI overlay with a responsive TextMeshPro panel on PEAK's HUD canvas.
• Reuse PEAK's font and material, respect the screen safe area, and add nine anchors, scale, font, background, outline, and color settings.
• Convert Unity world units with CharacterStats.unitsToMeters so displayed PEAK metres are correct; add an optional feet display.
• Add English/Russian localization with automatic system-language selection.
• Add a session-only F8 visibility toggle and grouped BepInEx configuration for content, visibility, layout, alerts, colors, and update rate.
• Clarify timing without expanding the normal countdown: keep START: mm:ss, and add explicit waiting, paused, stopped, and unavailable states.
• Show distance back to safety while in danger and use PEAK's strict spherical-fog danger boundary.
• Match lava's X/Z damage footprint, stop legacy lava at PEAK's exact final height, and distinguish receding hazards from approaching ones.
• Smooth the modern lava start countdown for non-host clients between PEAK's sparse host synchronization packets.
• Keep hazard, timing, and campfire rows independent so fire status no longer inherits a hazard alert color; prefer the current segment's fire without position-based timer switching.
• Fix legacy flat-fog waiting and final-stop reporting, including non-owner states where no synchronized numeric countdown is available.
• Sample hazard values at a configurable rate, poll campfires at 5 Hz, cache TMP updates, back off missing-object searches, and reset cached state across scenes.
• Add validated Thunderstore packaging, portable PEAK_GAME_DIR builds, and model tests for formatting, conversion, severity, hysteresis, and localization.

1.4.1

• Hide the distance and start line while a static/tidal lava stage keeps LavaRising dormant.
• Reveal the lava HUD only after PEAK starts a real countdown or continuous rise.
• Allow the campfire line to display independently when no hazard HUD is relevant.

1.4.0

• Add a third-line countdown for the relevant lit campfire.
• Show FIRE: OUT for 10 seconds after the campfire is spent.
• Follow PEAK's real campfire timer, including its rest pause.

• Show the HUD on the first segment before the fog visual is enabled.
• Display START: WAITING while initial fog waits for the team's progression trigger.
• Keep danger styling disabled until PEAK activates the fog effect.

1.3.1

• Show the shortest distance to the current spherical fog boundary.
• Keep distance and ETA based on the same approaching boundary.

1.3.0

• Calculate distance and ETA for the currently spectated player.
• Add a second line with the hazard start countdown or arrival ETA.
• Read PEAK's synchronized fog and lava timing data when available.
