About this mod Author’s original text

Gynxz: RepoChallenges

Assign gameplay challenges to yourself or to other players in your lobby (they need the mod too, same version). The impact-based challenges (Nitro Fingers, Flawless, Empathetic) work for everyone in the lobby, not just the host.

⭐ **NEW in 1.5.0 — our first beneficial challenge: Better Together! Not every challenge has to hurt. Stick close to your live teammates and you all get stronger — speed, extra jumps, stamina, grip and damage reduction that scale with how many friends are nearby. Teamwork, rewarded.

⭐ This mod is being updated frequently — check back for new versions, fixes and features.

Choosing challenges (NEW — multiple challenges at once)

Open the in-game mod settings menu (installed automatically via REPOConfig) and find

Gynxz: RepoChallenges → 5 - Challenge Roster. Every challenge has a three-way setting:

| Setting | What it does |

|---|---|

| Active | Always enforced. Set multiple challenges to Active and they all run at the same time. |

| Available | Goes into the F8 rotation (see below). Not enforced until F8 picks it. |

| Off | Disabled — not enforced and not in the rotation. |

Rules:

  • You can have as many Active challenges as you want running together.
  • Setting anything to Active disables F8 (you're in "fixed rules" mode).
  • Changes apply live when you edit them in the F1 overlay — no restart needed.

The settings menu is provided by REPOConfig, which installs automatically with this mod.

You can also edit BepInEx/config/com.gynxz.repochallenges.cfg directly and relaunch.

How to use

Debug keys (default):

  • F8 — cycle to the next Available challenge (one at a time). Tip: set the challenges you want in the rotation to Available first, or F8 has nothing to cycle. F8 is disabled while any challenge is set to Active.
  • F9 — clear the F8 rotation pick (your Active challenges stay).

Manual Assign panel: the 3 - Manual Assign config section lets you pick a challenge from a

dropdown and apply it right from the menu — to yourself or to another player in the lobby.

Performance / tuning

The mod runs its background work (the Better Together proximity scan and the command-file poll)

on a timer you control: 1 - Challenges → CheckInterval (0.5–5 seconds, default 0.5).

If you notice frame drops, stutters, or any network hitches/disconnects, raise this (e.g. 1–2

seconds) to lighten the load. Higher = smoother but slightly less responsive.

Bot / file bridge

You can drive the mod from any tool that can write a text file — a chat bot, a stream

integration, a macro program, even a hand-edited.txt. All it needs to do is write a command

into a file. Streamer.bot is what I use and recommend (it makes wiring

this up to Twitch/YouTube chat easy), but it is not required — anything that writes the file works.

The mod watches challenge_cmd.txt in your profile folder (next to the BepInEx folder).

Write a command into the file and it executes on the next check (default every 0.5s):

| Command | Effect |

|---|---|

| no_map | Assign No Map to yourself (replaces

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:
