Homelander

Homelander, a new tier 3 monster, utilising his heat vision and menacing laugh, can haunt the halls of any place you visit. His laser burns anything in its way, other monsters included. He comes with a config where you can change certain values, but otherwise is a fun, basic mod I made for myself and a few friends. Sharing here in the event anyone may enjoy it.

Everyone in the lobby needs the mod installed.

If this mod proves to be popular, I'll look at adding more features, maybe more of his powers, that kind of thing. I already have some ideas, they just haven't been implemented yet.

Config

BepInEx/config/53757065726d616e.Homelander.cfg, or in game with REPOConfig. The host's settings are the ones that count. A few you might want:

• Chance (100): how often he turns up. Vanilla monsters are 100, go higher to see him more.
• Health (300)
• Laser DamagePerSecond (30)
• Laser EnemyDamagePerSecond (40): damage to other monsters. 0 leaves them alone.
• Laser ChargeSeconds (1): the warning you get before the beam fires. Lower it to give people less time to hide.
• Laser TrackSpeed (4.5): how fast the beam follows you. Sprinting sideways just outruns it.
• Laser CatchUpSpeed (8): how fast it swings back once it's a few metres off you.
• Laser ReactionTime (0.1): how far behind you the beam lags, in seconds. 0 aims right at you.
• Theme Volume (0.09): 0 turns his music off.
• SpawnKey (off): set a key (e.g. F8) and the host can spawn him for testing.

Changelog

1.0.4

• Laser tweaks: the beam follows you quicker (TrackSpeed 4.5, was 4) and reacts faster (ReactionTime 0.1, was 0.3), with less warning before it fires (ChargeSeconds 1, was 1.2).
• If you've already run 1.0.3, your config keeps the old values. Change them yourself or delete the config to get the new ones.

1.0.3

• His laser hurts other monsters now too (EnemyDamagePerSecond, 40).
• More laser settings: TrackSpeed, CatchUpSpeed, ReactionTime and ChargeSeconds.
• Changed a couple of defaults: the beam follows you a bit quicker (TrackSpeed 4, was 3.5) but trails a little behind you, so sprinting still gets away, and there's less warning before it fires (ChargeSeconds 1.2, was 1.6).
• BeamSpeed is now called TrackSpeed, so if you'd changed it, set it again.
• Everyone in the lobby needs to update, 1.0.2 and 1.0.3 don't mix.

1.0.2

• Updated the description.

1.0.1

• New description.

1.0.0

• First release.
