About this mod Author’s original text

What does the mod do?

This mod adds further progression to PEAK. This mod comes included with an extensive experience and leveling system

carefully made to make sure you get the best leveling experience!

This mod is in early release. Code may be subject to change and is being actively developed on.

Currently a level takes the experience level * 100. This may change to a more complicated formula but right now is not subject to.

What do levels do?

Levels are simply a way to track your progress after getting all or most of the accolades.

They do nothing and will always do nothing, this is not supposed to give you an advantage.

Someone with level 1 is the exact same as someone level 100, one just shows they've practised alot with the mod on.

Ways of gaining experience

  • Winning a game: +500xp (+50xp on top each ascent)
  • Dying, but someone else wins: +50xp
  • Using an item: Dynamic, but ranges from 8xp-3xp
  • Opening Ancient Luggage: +35xp
  • Opening Explorer's Luggage: +25xp
  • Opening Big Luggage: +20xp
  • Opening Regular Luggage: +15xp
  • 1 in 20 chance whilst climbing every 15s: +15xp

How to reset or backup your data

Using the config

This mod now comes with a config to atomically backup your data!

Launch the game at least once, then the config will generate.

A dropdown should appear with the data of the backup for you to load.

It is recommended you still frequently manually backup your data.

You can also disable the UI that shows up on level and experience gain if you find that annoying.

Manually

Because the data is persistent across profiles, maybe you want to reset your level and experience because some exploiter found away to give you a lot of experience.

Follow the steps below to restart your progress (Windows version):

  • Hold the windows key and press R (Or type in run in the search bar)
  • Copy this into the bar: %appdata%\..\Local\LandCrab\PEAK\PEAKLeveling\
  • Delete player_stats.sav
  • Re-open PEAK!

This can also be used to backup your save file which is recommended when playing with randoms!

Follow the steps below to backup your progress (Windows version):

  • Hold the windows key and press R (Or type in run in the search bar)
  • Copy this into the bar: %appdata%\..\Local\LandCrab\PEAK\PEAKLeveling\
  • Copy player_stats.sav
  • Store the file wherever you want
  • When you need to replace the file, do the same steps but paste instead of copy the file.

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:

BepInEx-BepInExPack_PEAK
