About this mod Author’s original text

Boss Damage Summary

A lightweight quality-of-life mod for How to Fish that shows every player's damage contribution during boss fights.

It only displays damage information; it does not change combat, damage values, or boss behavior.

Features

  • Displays total damage and group contribution percentage for each player.
  • Updates live throughout the boss fight.
  • Uses the game's native UI style.
  • Keeps the final result visible for 12 seconds after the boss is defeated.
  • Supports single-player and multiplayer.

Installation

Install Boss Damage Summary Mod Manager and launch the game with Start modded. The required BepInEx pack is installed automatically as a dependency.

For manual installation, install BepInEx and place Arce.BossDamageSummary.dll inside BepInEx/plugins.

Multiplayer

Every player should install the mod. Each client displays the same live damage summary from the boss-hit events received by the game.

Requirements

  • How to Fish
  • BepInExPack 5.4.2305

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:
