Custom Starter Kit

Custom Starter Kit allows the host to configure a starter kit that all players will receive when they join the game.

I suggest using ModConfig mod as the host so you can setup the starter kit for everyone anytime you are in the pre-game lobby at the airport!

For Questions, Concerns, Bugs, Appreciation Head over to the Peak Modding Discord

🎯 Key Features:

1. Host-Only Configuration - Only the host can set up and modify the starter kit
2. 3 Pocket Slots - Configure up to 3 items for player pockets
3. Optional Backpack - Give players a backpack with 4 additional item slots
4. Campfire Re-Kit - Players can receive starter kit items again when lighting campfires
5. Smart Item Spawning - Excess items spawn above players and drop to ground when inventory is full
6. Complete Item Reference - Browse all 132 available items with their IDs in ModConfig
7. Hot-Reload Support - Changes take effect for newly spawned players without restarting
8. Auto-Correction - Item reference entries auto-corrected if accidentally modified

REMINDER Only the host needs this mod - other players will automatically receive the configured starter kit items.

🛠 Configuration

After the first launch, a config file will be generated at:

BepInEx/config/tony4twentys.Custom_Starter_Kit.cfg

🔧 Config Sections:

Section 0 - Item Reference

• 132 Individual Entries - Each item from the game with its ID
• Format: Item Name = Item ID (e.g., "Apple = 1", "Flashlight = 15")
• Read-Only - Values auto-correct if accidentally changed
• Searchable - Use ModConfig's search to find specific items

Section 1 - Pockets

• PocketSlot1ItemID - Item ID for first pocket slot (0 = empty)
• PocketSlot2ItemID - Item ID for second pocket slot (0 = empty)
• PocketSlot3ItemID - Item ID for third pocket slot (0 = empty)

Section 2 - Backpack

• GiveBackpack - Enable/disable giving players a backpack (true/false)
• BackpackSlot1ItemID - Item ID for first backpack slot (0 = empty)
• BackpackSlot2ItemID - Item ID for second backpack slot (0 = empty)
• BackpackSlot3ItemID - Item ID for third backpack slot (0 = empty)
• BackpackSlot4ItemID - Item ID for fourth backpack slot (0 = empty)

Section 3 - Campfire Re-Kit

• RepeatOnCampfire - Give starter kit items again when campfires are lit (true/false)

🎮 How to Use

For Hosts:

1. Install the mod and launch the game
2. Open ModConfig (if installed) or edit the config file directly
3. Browse Section 0 to find item IDs you want to use
4. Configure Section 1 - Set item IDs for pocket slots (0 = empty)
5. Configure Section 2 - Enable backpack and set backpack slot items
6. Configure Section 3 - Enable campfire re-kit if desired
7. Start a game - Players joining will receive the configured starter kit

For Players:

• No setup required - You'll automatically receive the host's configured starter kit
• Browse item reference - Use ModConfig to see all available items and their IDs
• Initial delivery - You'll receive the kit when joining the game
• Campfire re-supply - If enabled, you'll receive items again when lighting campfires

🔄 How It Works

1. Host Configuration - Host sets up the starter kit via ModConfig or config file
2. Player Scanning - Plugin scans for new players every 5 seconds
3. Initial Kit Delivery - New players receive the configured items automatically
4. Campfire Re-Supply - When enabled, players receive items again when lighting campfires
5. Smart Inventory Handling - Items spawn above players and drop to ground when inventory is full
6. Duplicate Prevention - Players only receive initial kit once per session (but can get campfire re-supplies)

🧩 Installation

1. Download the .zip from Thunderstore.
2. Extract it into your BepInEx/plugins/ folder.
3. Launch the game. The mod auto-generates a config file.
4. Edit the config file or use ModConfig to customize your starter kit.

Changelog

[2.0.2] - 2026-08-15

• Rescans PEAK’s item database each time the Starter Kit menu opens, skipping items already cached
• Late-loading custom / modded items now show up in the picker
• Host grants also refresh once so a saved custom item still resolves if that mod loaded after the first scan
• Controls section at the top of the Starter Kit menu
• Remap the menu hotkey (modifier + key) and the delete-bag key in-game
• Toggle debug logs (off by default)
• Toggle Show Starter Kit on the pause menu — the hotkey still works either way
• Hiding the pause button and restarting the game no longer breaks turning it back on

[2.0.1] - 2026-08-14

Late join / reconnect

• Late joiners and reconnects no longer get a kit during the brief alive flicker (RegisterPlayer / DeathOnArrival)
• That flicker was dumping a full kit on the ground, then wake/revive could spawn more bags (looked like ~4 starter kits in big lobbies)
• Same pattern as Start With Backpacks: skip the immediate grant, wait for shore wake (UnPassOutDone) or revive + warp + landing

PEAKER

• Compatible with PEAKER / PEAKERRpcInfo
• Campfire and revive re-kit patches match RPC methods by name so the extra PhotonMessageInfo argument does not break them

[2.0.0] - 2026-08-13

In-game loadout menu

• Build the kit in-game with Ctrl+K (configurable) or the pause-menu Starter Kit button
• Live item picker from PEAK’s item database (vanilla + modded items)
• Loadout saved in a sidecar config; BepInEx / ModConfig only show hotkeys

Run start

• Host-only grants: pack (backpack / fannypack / random), 3 pockets, pack slots
• Leftover items spawn as care-package backpacks on the ground instead of stacking and flinging
• Re-kit Only slot (was Hand) is not equipped at spawn — putting items in hands stuck them on clients

Campfire / revive re-kit

• Optional re-kit on campfire light and/or any revive
• Spawns filled backpacks beside the player; does not refill pockets or hands
• Re-kit Only item is included in those bags
• Pack-slot items match the pack in use (backpack vs fannypack). Filling the other pack type’s menu slots does not spawn extra bags
• Empty re-kit bags auto-despawn; host can Delete a leftover bag while looking at it (key configurable)
• Use Fannypack and Random pack cannot be on at the same time
• Quick Restart skip-airport / full Level reload grants the starter kit again (same as a new run)

PEAK 2.0

• Pack detection uses current backpack APIs (IsEmpty / backpackType)
• Revive hook is RPCA_ReviveAtPosition

[1.1.2] - 2025-11-15

• Roots broke it, now its working again
• Items that are given after lighting the fire now drop around the playing in a circle instead of occupying the same space and being flung around. (When inventory is too full for all items)

[1.1.1] - 2025-10-14

• Config to give players all items from starter kit AGAIN after lighting each campfire

[1.0.0] - 2025-10-12

• Initial release.
