About this mod Machine translation
Scout Cannon
Add three functions to the Boy Scout cannon: a small window at the muzzle to help with aiming, one-click entry into the cannon (put the backpack into the cannon instead when holding a backpack), and ignition inside the cannon.
Function
When holding the cannon and the placement preview appears on the ground, press V, and the small window in the corner of the screen will directly display the picture from the muzzle of the cannon. The main perspective is still looking at the ground, moving, and firing, and the small window can also see the distant target that the muzzle is aimed at. You don’t have to press buttons: Turn on the default aiming state in the configuration, and the cannon roll will be automatically displayed when you pick it up. You can still turn it off temporarily by pressing V.
The camera orientation is fixed by default, so it can be moved and placed normally even if the indicator is on. If you want to simply point the camera in the direction of the muzzle, you can lock the angle of view to the muzzle, but shooting depends on the camera's rays towards the ground. If you lock it, you can't place it. Generally, if you have a small window, you don't need to open it.
Aim and hold X at the placed cannon to send the character directly into the cannon without having to jump in; after entering, he will be held in the barrel and will not slide out as soon as he enters. While holding the backpack in your hand, press "Disable automatic adsorption of local players" is turned on by default - the original version will automatically suck in the nearest character within 1 meter of the cannon. This can prevent you from being sucked away just by passing by. You can only enter by pressing X.
When you are near the muzzle of an unfired cannon, you can light it by pressing and holding E without turning back to aim the fuse.
The three functions are independent of each other and can be switched on or off at will.

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:
