Host Only Start

Host Only Start is a R.E.P.O. / REPO launch permission control plug-in. It can limit the number of cars that can be sent to only the owner or players authorized by the owner.

The current modified version no longer requires all players to return to the truck: as soon as the extraction point is completed and the operating player has permission, the truck will start immediately.

After installation, only the following players can start the car by default:

• Homeowner
• Players authorized by the host

Unauthorized players will be blocked when trying to start.

In-game menu

Default button: Home

Press Home to open the Host Only Start launch permissions menu.

You can see the current room player list in the menu, and you can authorize or revoke authorization for non-host players.

Menu functions include:

• View the current player list;
• Authorize a single player to start the car;
• Revoke a single player’s starting authority;
• Added departure authority for all passenger planes;
• Revoke all dispatch permissions;
• Reload configuration;
• Modify menu hotkeys.

Suitable for the scene

• The homeowner wants to turn off the power quickly;
• Players fall behind, hang up, or get stuck;
• I don’t want the team to be unable to continue because someone didn’t enter the car;
• I want the designated management player to have the authority to start the car.

Configuration file

After starting the game for the first time, a configuration file will be generated:

REPO\BepInEx\config\local.repo.hostonlystart.cfg

Main configuration items:

[Feedback]

ShowDeniedMessage = true

[Permissions]

AllowedClientSteamIds =

AllowedClientPlayerNames =

[UI]

MenuKey = Home

It is recommended to use SteamID authorization because SteamID is more stable than player name.

Multiple SteamIDs can be separated by commas, for example:

AllowedClientSteamIds = 76561199838608602, 76561199516256365

Installation method

Just install it using r2modman.

When installing manually, extract the files in the compressed package to the game directory so that the DLL is located:

REPO\BepInEx\plugins\HostOnlyStart.dll

Things to note

• Only the owner can modify the authorization list.
• Even if client players can see the menu, they cannot modify permissions.
• If you edit the configuration file directly, you need to restart the game or click "Reload Configuration" in the menu.
• It is recommended to use SteamID for dispatch permission, and it is not recommended to use only player name.
• If multiple players capture the car screen at the same time, synchronization delays or old RPC warnings may occur. It is recommended that only one authorized player operate the car screen.
