About this mod Author’s original text
AdminHelper
AdminHelper is a BepInEx mod for Holdfast: Nations At War. It scores
every player on their distance from their own side and marks players who stay out of formation (rambos). It also
adds admin tools to the P menu.
Anything that shows another player requires an rc login on the server. See Admin only.
Install
Mod manager
Install AdminHelper with r2modman or Mod Manager and start the game from the
manager. BepInEx and RyLib are installed with it.
Manual
- Install
BepInExPack_Holdfast
into the game folder and start the game once.
- Download AdminHelper.dll from the latest release
and RyLib.dll from the RyLib release.
- Copy them to:
Steam\steamapps\common\Holdfast Nations At War\BepInEx\plugins\AdminHelper\AdminHelper.dll
Steam\steamapps\common\Holdfast Nations At War\BepInEx\plugins\RyLib\RyLib.dll
Checking the install
BepInEx\LogOutput.log contains these lines when both mods load:

Rambo overlay
- Log in to the server console with rc login.
- Open the P menu and click Rambo UI under the players list, or press F6.
Rambo UI cycles through three modes:
| Mode | The overlay shows |
| --- | --- |
| Always On | While playing, spectating and in free roam. |
| Freeflight | In free roam only. |
| Off | Never. Scoring continues in the background. |
F6 turns the overlay off, and pressing it again restores the previous mode. The mode is saved between launches.
ToggleKey changes the key.
A player is marked once their ISO passes RingThreshold. The mark is a glow visible through walls and terrain,
a ring at their feet, and a label with their name, state and scores. The mark is removed when their ISO drops
below the threshold.
States
| State | Condition |
| --- | --- |
| ISOLATED | ISO is above RingThreshold. |
| RAMBO | ISO has stayed above RamboThreshold for RamboHoldSeconds. The label shows the time in seconds. |
| FIGHT | The player joined a melee before being flagged. See Melee grace. |
| AFK | The player has not moved for AfkSeconds. See AFK players. |
Colours
| Colour | Condition |
| --- | --- |
| Green to yellow | ISO rising from RingThreshold to 100, with a DGR of 0. |
| Orange to red | DGR rising from 1 to 100. |
| Blue | FIGHT. |
| Grey | AFK. |
Spectating marked players
With an rc login, ] spectates the next marked player and [ the previous one. The order is RAMBO, then
ISOLATED and FIGHT sorted by DGR, then AFK. While Rambo UI is not Off, the key bar in free roam and in spectator
mode shows a Spectate Rambos entry for these keys. SpectateNextKey and SpectatePrevKey change them.
P menu settings
The P menu has AdminHelper's settings under Mods > AdminHelper, in the sections Rambo Detection, Flags,
Players Tab, Kill Log and Map. They change the same values as the config file.
Player search
The search box in the P menu players tab accepts classes, factions, sides and regiment tags as well as names and
IDs. It works without an rc login.
| Search by | Examples |
| --- | --- |
| Class name or its start | rifleman, rifle, surgeon, sapper, grenadier |
| Shorthand | line, officer, sgt, medic, flag, drummer, gunner |
| Class group | cavalry (hussars and dragoons), skirmishers (riflemen and light infantry), rank & file (line infantry), infantry, artillery, support, naval, sailor, officers |
| Faction | british, french, prussian, russian, italian, austrian, allied, central, spanish, privateer, american, and country names such as france and britain |
| Side | attackers or att, defenders or def |
Terms combine. french cav lists French hussars and dragoons, and defenders surgeon lists the defending
side's surgeons. Plurals work for all terms.
Regiment tags and player names are compared with punctuation removed and accents replaced by plain letters.
[45e] matches 45e and 45, and 7.Fuß matches 7fus.
Text that is not a class, faction or side searches names and tags as in t
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- 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.
- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- 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.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
