Smooth Dash for Romestead

A quality-of-life mobility mod for Romestead built with BepInEx 6 (.NET CoreCLR).

What Does This Mod Do?

In vanilla Romestead, dashing decelerates you to 0 and forcibly cancels your velocity upon exit, causing your character to come to an abrupt dead stop at the end of every dash.

Smooth Dash seamlessly fixes this:

• Smooth Deceleration: Gradually reduces your velocity from dash speed (~400) directly into your character's natural running (~80) or walking (~40) speed.
• Continuous Momentum: Your character glides smoothly back into standard player control without freezing or halting movement.
• Toggle On/Off: Easily toggle the mod in-game at any time using a hotkey (default F6) or terminal command.
• Configurable: Fine-tune the deceleration duration or set custom exit speeds to your preference.

Controls & Commands

In-Game Hotkey

• F6 (Default): Toggles Smooth Dash on or off on the fly. (Rebindable in configuration).

In-Game Developer Terminal Commands

Open the console (~ or \ key):

• smoothdash — Toggles the mod on/off.
• smoothdash on / smoothdash off — Explicitly enable or disable.
• smoothdash status — Prints current status and settings.
• smoothdash speed <number> — Sets a custom exit speed (0 for automatic player walk/run speed).
• smoothdash duration <number> — Sets wind-down duration multiplier (e.g. 1.0 vanilla time, 1.5 longer glide).
