About this mod Author’s original text
Rival Isles
Rival Isles is a small PvP-style test arena island for How to Fish and the reference/test map for HTF Map Loader.
Its main purpose is to demonstrate that custom islands can be distributed as completely separate packages and discovered automatically by HTF Map Loader.
Requirements
- HTF Map Loader 0.2.8
- BepInEx 5 / Mono
- How to Fish
Use Install with Mod Manager. Required dependencies are declared by this package.
Map configuration

Display name: Rival Isles

The Unity scene is still named HTFE_Island9 internally because that is the scene embedded in the current AssetBundle. This does not affect the public package/map name.
The map declares:
PlayerSpawnPoint
BoatSpawnPoint
as its runtime spawn markers.
Wildlife is disabled for this test arena.

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:
