Prop Hunt

What is Prop Hunt?

Prop Hunt is very similar to hide and seek.

You hide as objects (props) around the map while seekers try to find and you.

Once you've been found, you become a seeker. The last person standing wins! Look at the Gameplay section for more details.

Installation

This mod requires SSMP for multiplayer.

You should be able to install this with any compatible installer/mod manager.

Manual Installation

  • Download and extract the mod
  • Navigate to your BepInEx plugins folder
  • Copy the extracted mod folder to the plugins folder (Example: Plugins/PropHunt/PropHuntMod.dll)

For mod support, you can find me (BobbyTheCatfish) in the HK Modding and HKMP Discord servers, as well as my personal one.

Gameplay

Before and between rounds (see commands section), players are free to switch between props and destroy other players' props. Each room has a different set of props you can hide as.

A list of each room's props can be found here.

You can use a mod like QuickWarp to go to specific rooms easily.

It's worth noting that some rooms (especially memories) may not have any props, or may have very few.

If you encounter any, please create an issue on the mod's GitHub.

Take this time before starting to establish a few rules and configure some settings (see commands section):

  • How long should hiders have before the seekers start? (30 seconds by default)
  • Can hiders hide in other rooms? (Only reccomended for larger games)
  • How many seekers should there be? (1 by default)
  • Should seekers have an attack cooldown, and how many seconds should it be? (none by default)

Once a round is started with /ph start, at least 1 player will be selected to be the seeker, and everyone else will be a hider.

Hiders

As soon as you're chosen as a hider, you'll be hidden as a random prop. You can change that prop and move it around if desired. (See keybinds)

Hide somewhere in the room (or in nearby rooms if allowed), blending in with the environment around you.

If a seeker comes along and attacks your prop, you'll be revealed and will become a seeker.

If you're the last player found, you win!

If you're playing with a lot of people, it may be a good idea to allow hiding in nearby rooms and sub-areas.

Seekers

As soon as you're chosen as a seeker, your screen will turn black for 30 seconds (by default), and you'll be unable to move. The hiders will use this time to hide.

Once the waiting period is over, you can go searching for the hiders. Attacking a prop will reveal the player underneath.

Once a hider is found, they become a seeker.

Usage

See the SSMP usage documentation for details on setting up or joining a server

FAQ

  • Does it matter which save file I use?
  • Nope! You can be on any act, have whatever progress you want, and other people should be able to see your props just fine
  • That being said, it'd probably be a good idea to be in a mostly completed act 2 file.

Keybinds

There are a few keybinds for this mod, which can be changed within BepInEx Configuration Manager.

P -> Prop (Change your prop)

R -> Reset (Reveal yourself and remove your prop)

Numpad 5 -> Reset Prop Position

While hiding, you can move your prop in a few ways, within a few limits. There are a few methods to move your prop, and you can change the one you use in the configuration.

Controller Left/Right Stick

Press in the selected stick to change modes (Move in 2d space, move forward/back, rotate, scale, stop movement), and move the stick to

move the prop. An indicator will appear near your healthbar to indicate which movement mode you're in.

Keyboard Movement

Similar to the controller stick method, this uses your movement keys to move the prop.

You can switch between modes by pressing the taunt button.

These commands can be used by pressing Y to open the SSMP chat

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
