FogVisualOnly

A BepInEx plugin for PEAK that removes fog visuals for a PERFORMANCE and visual gain/advantage while preserving all fog deadliness (damage, healing, etc.). Fully safe with vanilla players online.

Fog Toggle

The big button at the top saves and restores all your settings:

• FOG: OFF (green) — fog is hidden, max FPS
• FOG: ON (red) — fog is visible, vanilla look

Toggling back restores whatever settings you had before.

Changelog

v2.0.0

Basically Full rework — cleaner internals, better performance, polished UI and maybe new bugs.

Core

• Split dirty flag: scene rescan (OnSceneLoaded) vs value-only apply (sliders, toggles, presets) — dragging sliders no longer triggers a full object cache rebuild
• Sphere subtree classification — all descendants of FogSphereSystem registered, not just renderer owners (animators/colliders/particles on child objects now properly tracked)
• _BaseColor support — URP/HDRP fog materials now respect opacity sliders
• ParticleSystem caching — emission paused on apply, resumed on restore
• Sound/collider toggles fully wired to SettingChanged
• UnpatchSelf() on unload — Harmony patches cleaned up on destroy

UI

• Tabs renamed FOG / SETTINGS with procedural 22px gear icon
• Glass-style tab outlines with wobbly asymmetric radii and glow animation
• Tabs are content-hugging (measured once via CalcSize, not full-width)
• 10px breathing room under tab row
• Scrollbar thumb reworked — proper pill shape (radius 3, not ellipse)
• Slider label row breathing room (30px height, 6px left padding)
• Slider drag identity via object reference, not rect equality
• Window position persists across sessions (clamped on-screen)
• OnApplicationFocus insurance — clears drag state on alt-tab

Bug Report

• Reads real version from BepInPlugin attribute (not hardcoded)
• Log capture reads while game holds file open, multiple path fallbacks
• Tail-reads last 8KB, code-fence sanitization
• Empty submit validation (title or description required)
• GitHub checkbox with GL-drawn tick/X marks

Removals

• Accent color system fully removed (config entry, HSV picker, SanitizeAccent, RefreshAccent)
• Subheadings are plain white bold + divider line
• Dead code deleted (unused styles, duplicate helpers, stale fields)

Safety

• Global skin restore on menu close + OnDestroy
• All button styles have active states (no 1-frame flash)
• NaN/Inf accent sanitizer
• Drag state reset on open AND close (prevents softlocks)
• Reset tab + activeDrag + keyboard focus on menu open
