About this mod Machine translation
PEAK RANKED
A ranked ladder for PEAK. ELO, monthly seasons, a daily cup everyone climbs together
and 1v1 ghost duels — and LIVE RACE, where up to 32 of you climb the same mountain
in the same second and can watch each other do it. With a proper speedrun timer running
underneath all of it.
1.0. The scoring rules are settled and the leaderboards are kept. Bug reports are
still very welcome — the Discord channel is linked below.![The PEAK RANKED signpost on the right side of the main menu][shot-hero]
🔥 NEW in 1.6 — RACE BROWSER
Find a race without a code.
- 🔎 Race browser. JOIN A RACE now lists every open race: host, map, ascent, route,
rules and free slots. One click to join — or to watch a race that is already running.
Filter by free slots or by region.
- 🔓 PUBLIC or CODE ONLY. The host decides whether the race shows up in the list.
CODE ONLY works as before: nobody finds it without the code. Your last choice is
remembered.
- 🚪 Remove and ban. The host's new PLAYERS window removes runners or spectators at
any time; a runner removed mid-race counts as DNF. A ban keeps that player out of all
your future races. The list stays on your PC and can be undone.
- 🛡️ Shield after a revive. With REVIVE DEAD PLAYERS on, you are invulnerable for
5 seconds after getting up — like after milk — to get out of whatever killed you.
- 🌪️ Fixed: MESA tornadoes no longer pile up when you arrive late. The schedule now
starts when you reach MESA, still from the seed.
中文 / CHINESE (1.5)
PEAK RANKED speaks Chinese. Simplified Chinese · Traditional Chinese
- 🀄 Both scripts, each with its own translation. Set the game to Simplified or
Traditional Chinese and the mod follows: menus, windows, the HUD and every help chapter.
Traditional uses Taiwan wording.
- 🙏 A community translation by TFJSN (ETWML) — Chineseized by TFJSN. Thank you!
- 📜 New CREDITS page in the help window, naming the people who helped build the mod.
REVIVE & DNF REPLAYS (1.4)
Death does not have to end the race.
- 💀 REVIVE DEAD PLAYERS — a switch for the host of a LIVE RACE. Off by default, and
it does not make the race private: times still count.
- ⏳ You go down, not out. Ten seconds on the ground for the first death, twenty for
the second, thirty after that — then you get up at your own body, items and all.
Fell into the void, into lava, into the fog? You get up at the last safe ground you
stood on, never further up the mountain than you had climbed.
- 🩸 And it costs you. +0.10 curse per death, hunger and injuries capped instead of
healed, bonus stamina gone. The fifth death ends your run — and if you would rather
stop now, hold interact while you are down and go watch the others.
- 🪨 No free cures. Die of petrification and you get up almost fully petrified: that
bar is the price for cloning items, and dying does not refund it. A checkpoint flag
still saves you the way the game intends, and a skeleton gets up as a skeleton.
- 👀 Everyone sees it — DOWN in the standings while you are on the ground, and
the death count next to your name from then on. A run in which you died still counts
in the race, but it reaches no leaderboard.
- 🎬 REPLAY the runs you lost. Died or left the mountain? It is recorded on your own
PC now, marked DNF in MY RUNS, and you can watch it back. Keep the last 5, 10 or 25
— your own setting, its own budget, so a bad evening never pushes your good runs out.
- 🚩 The countdown tells you what you are in for: the ascent and its twist, revive on
or off, and whether the host changed the rules. Plus how many people are watching.
GHOSTS V2, REPLAY & TRAINING (1.3)
Ghosts are no longer mannequins. They are the player.
- 👕 Their real outfit — skin, hat, sash and every badge they earned.
- 🧗 Their real body — hands on the rock, feet on the ledge, falls, stumbles and
emotes, recorded as they happened. Smooth, ten times a second.
- 🪢 Everything they placed — the rope exactly as it settled, the chain between the
same two anchors, pitons, bean vines …
Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- 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.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- 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.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
