Better Ready Up

A small, lightweight mod that makes readying up in Risk of Rain 2 multiplayer lobbies a little better.

This mod is designed for multiplayer lobbies and does not affect single-player mode.

Features

Ready / Unready

Ready-up Countdown

A configurable countdown that only starts once everyone is ready. If anyone unreadies, the countdown resets and waits until everyone is ready again.

• Default: 5 seconds
• Adjustable: 0–60 seconds

Force Ready (ALL)

A host-only button that readies everyone up and starts the countdown.

A couple of things to note:

• Players can still unready after the host uses Force Ready. This is intentional, and doing so will cancel and reset the countdown.
• Force Ready uses the host's configured countdown duration. If you want Force Ready to start the game instantly, simply set the countdown to 0 seconds. This also makes normal ready-up instant once everyone is ready.

Configuration

The countdown duration can be changed in the BepInEx config file, which is automatically generated on first launch.

Dependencies

• BepInExPack
• HookGenPatcher

No R2API dependencies required.
