About this mod Author’s original text

BetterFog

==============

BetterFog is a Mod Plugin that can be used on the game Lethal Company. If you have played the game, you may know how foggy weather is detrimental and even downright unplayable in essentially any other moon than Experimentation and Titan. BetterFog mod solves that issue by creating a preset list of fog options that can have custom densities, colors, and lighting settings. With this, there are virtually thousands of variations of custom fog presets possible. Plus, there is a graphical user interface (GUI) available when pressing F1 on your keyboard that allows for live modification of presets in game. Client-side.

Why Use This Mod?

==============

  • Feature rich configurable settings with changeable hotkeys
  • Not binary with No Fog and All Fog - You can set the density and colors to any level!
  • Thousands of potential fog presets. Set your game to fit your mood.
  • Fog density can adapt to different moons/weathers, or just specified moons/weathers by blacklisting the others. The atmosphere can be augmented to your liking.
  • Reduces eye strain. Are you in a dark room? Squinting to see through super thick fog two inches away from the screen? Darken the fog colors & decrease fog density to relieve some headache.
  • No fog not only removes all fog, including ground fog clouds, smoke, and pipe fog (not including animations)
  • Vanilla mode available in settings. No need to exit and disable the mod.
  • Client side - you don't need the host or anyone else to have the mode for it to work (but they should still get it;D)
  • Works on custom moons! If it is too easy or hard to see on a custom moon, settings can be applied just as they are to vanilla moons.
  • Works on custom weathers!
  • Good for modpacks: you can lock in whatever settings you want by setting a default preset and disabling hotkeys in the config to add some style to your modpack.

Instructions

==============

  • If you are manually setting up the mod, place BetterFog.dll in "Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Lethal Company/BepInEx/plugins/BetterFog.dll". The fogsettingsgui file should also be included under "Program Files (x86)/Steam/steamapps/common/Lethal Company/BepInEx/plugins/Assets/FogAssetBundnle/fogsettingsgui".
  • Manage presets in the config file. Settings can be tweaked for fog density and color.
  • Hotkey 'n' is used to switch between presets in-game. LeftStickPress should be the button for controller, but this has not been tested yet. Keybinds are adjustable in the config file!
  • Press F1 on your keyboard (changeable in config) to access GUI which allows for live modification of presets in lobbies. Note that these modified settings do not carry over if you restart the game; you must modify the config file presets to do this.
  • To use density scaling for custom moons you will need to add the full name of the moon and scale to the MoonScales list. Otherwise a warning log will appear indicating that the was not found in records.
  • "Auto Sync" Preset/Mode Settings: Automatically apply presets and modes to moons and weathers.
  • On the left of = enter a moon and/or weather name, and on the right enter a single preset or mode name.
  • Entering a preset name on the right automatically sets the mode to "Better Fog".
  • To have a condition that requires both a moon and weather, enter "&" in between entries. This will override single entries if both moon and weather are present.
  • If a preset name is the same as a mode name, the mode will be set to "Better Fog" and that preset will be applied.
  • Warning: If you create different conditions that conflict (such as none=mist,68 Artifice=No Fog and you land on Art with no weather), the leftmost condition will apply. For that reason, put double conditions with the most specific condition first, and single condition last.
  • Example: "7 Dine&eclipsed=Orange Fog,61 March=Light Fog,7 Dine=Heavy Fog,eclipsed=Red Fog,8 Titan=Heavy Fog,none=Mist,none&8 Titan=No Fog"
  • Please report any bugs to me as they

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:
