BEETLEBALL MATCH RULES v0.1.0

Custom match rules for Beetleball custom rooms

=====================================================================

Change the rules of your CUSTOM ROOM: dung spawning, indestructible

dung, kickoff balls, match time, goals to win, glass arena walls,

physics, and a ready-made COMPETITIVE preset.

  • Custom rooms only. Matchmaking / ranked games are never changed.
  • The HOST sets the rules. Players with the mod can view them.
  • Most rules only need the mod on the host. "Physics & Arena" rules

(including the walls) need the mod on EVERY player.

Built for Beetleball on Steam (build 25250887, Unity 6000.3) with

MelonLoader 0.7.3.

INSTALLATION

WITH A MOD MANAGER (recommended)

  • Install r2modman or the Mod Manager, pick Beetleball.
  • Install "Beetleball Match Rules". MelonLoader is installed

automatically.

  • Click "Start modded". The first modded launch takes a few

minutes while MelonLoader prepares the game.

MANUAL

  • Find the game folder: in Steam, right-click Beetleball >

Manage > Browse local files (the folder with Beetleball.exe).

  • Install MelonLoader 0.7.3 from
  • Installer: run MelonLoader.Installer.exe, pick Beetleball.exe,

choose version 0.7.3, click Install. OR

  • Manual: extract MelonLoader.x64.zip into the game folder, so

"version.dll" and the "MelonLoader" folder sit next to

Beetleball.exe.

  • Launch the game once and wait for the main menu (the first

launch takes a few minutes), then close it.

  • Copy "Mods\BeetleballMatchRules.dll" from this package into the

game's "Mods" folder.

  • Launch the game.

HOW TO USE

  • Host a custom room.
  • In "Lobby Config", click "match rules" (under advanced settings).
  • Click "Preset" to cycle through presets (Vanilla, Competitive,...), or set each rule with the sliders and checkboxes.

Values in YELLOW are changed from normal. Moving a slider back

to the normal value resets that rule.

  • Close the screen and start the match.

Every launch starts on VANILLA: rules are not remembered between

launches. To keep a setup, click "save as preset".

COMPETITIVE PRESET

  • One FULL GROWN kickoff ball.
  • First kickoff at the map's neutral spot (no team advantage).
  • After a goal, the ball starts on the side of the team that

conceded.

  • The ball STAYS STILL until a player touches it.
  • INDESTRUCTIBLE dung and NO BUNNIES: always exactly one ball.
  • GLASS WALLS on the arena sides that CAN'T BE CLIMBED.

(Walls need the mod on every player.)

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
  3. For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.

Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
