Enders Ultimate Fish Warden Admin Mod

Ender's Ultimate Fish Warden Admin Mod

Anti-cheat and admin tools for How to Fish, in one in-game console. Press F4.

Only the host needs it. Guests do not install anything.

If it saved your lobby a bad evening: buy me a coffee.

Install

The easy way (recommended)

• Install r2modman or the Mod Manager.
• Pick How to Fish, then Install with Mod Manager on this page.
• Press Start modded.

That is it. BepInEx comes with it automatically.

By hand

• Install BepInExPack for How to Fish first, and run the game once so it builds its folders.
• Drop EndersGambit.dll into:

steamapps\common\How to Fish\How to Fish\BepInEx\plugins\

• Start the game and press F4.

If F4 does nothing, BepInEx is not loaded. Check that

BepInEx\LogOutput.log exists — if it does not, redo step 1.

Already had this installed? One line turns the new console on

A fresh install gets the console built from the game's own menu prefabs, with

nothing to switch on.

If you ran an earlier version you will not, and it is not a bug: a saved config

file beats a code default. Your config was written back when the default was

off, and it keeps the value it was given. Two ways to change it:

In game. Press F4, go to the TWEAKS tab, INTERFACE section, and click

"Rebuild this from the game's menu". Then close and reopen F4 — it is built

when the console opens, so it appears the next time you open it.

In the file. Open

steamapps\common\How to Fish\How to Fish\BepInEx\config\com.brade.fishwarden.cfg

find the [Interface] section, and change NativeConsole = false to

NativeConsole = true.

Using a mod manager? Your config lives in the profile folder, not the game

folder — r2modman's Config editor opens the right one for you.

Either way it sticks. And if a scene ever defeats the clone, the mod drops back to

the plain console on its own rather than showing you half a sheet.

What it does

Host a lobby, press F4, and you get three columns.

WHO IS HERE — everyone in the lobby, most-caught first. Click a name.

WARDEN — what that person was caught doing, and what you can do about it.

Every finding shows the rule, whether it was blocked, and a plain sentence

explaining it. Then: freeze, mute, strip, remove, pardon, undo their damage, or

one of the troll punishments below.

ENDER'S TWEAKS — the cheat menu. Off until you turn it on.

The guard

Around fifty rules watch what clients send the server. They fall into two kinds,

and the difference matters:

• Asserted — the packet claims something impossible. Firing as another

player, buying with the "free" flag set, reviving yourself while dead. These

cannot be wrong about the world, so they are blocked and answered.

• Measured — the packet is compared against a number. Damage against a

weapon's ceiling, speed, airtime. These can be wrong, so they ship with the

punishment switched off and only ever get written down.

Every rule has two independent switches: block it and answer it. A lobby

you are watching for fun and a serious room are the same guard with different

switches.

Nothing malformed reaches the game at all — NaN, infinity and out-of-world

coordinates are refused on every RPC, and anything that throws kills the packet

instead of the lobby.

Punishments that fit the crime

Turn these on per rule, or press them yourself:

| | |

|---|---|

| Blowback | their next attack goes off in their hands |

| Butterfingers | they drop everything they pick up |

| Skunked | everything they catch is worth nothing |

| The cooler | they keep getting knocked down |

| Out to sea | a long swim back |

| Freeze / Mute / Strip | the plain ones |

| Smite | a bolt from nowhere |

| Undo their damage | put back what they spawned, broke or handed out |

Most come with the offender announcing their own crime in chat.

Fishing licence

Trust somebody and the guard stops looking at them entirely — they can use

whatever they like. The lobby is told when you issue one and when you revoke it,

because a silent exemption looks exactly like a br
