About this mod Author’s original text

OnlyHostShopkeeperSwitch

Only the host can press the on/off button on the shopkeeper.

That orange button on the shopkeeper robot, anyone in the lobby can press it. Wakes the thing up, puts it back to sleep. Bad when one friend keeps flipping it the second you're walking out of the truck with a full cart.

This makes only the host's press count. Everyone else can mash it all day, the shopkeeper just sits there.

Options

Everything lives in BepInEx/config/com.red.OnlyHostShopkeeperSwitch.cfg, all on by default:

  • OnlyHostPressesSwitch - the main thing
  • ShopkeeperOnByDefault - shopkeeper wakes up on its own when the shop loads, nobody has to walk over and press it
  • HostNeverTargeted - it never warns, grabs or shoots the host. Everyone else is fair game

Install

Host only. Friends don't need to install anything.

Get it (r2modman search) or drop the dll into your BepInEx/plugins folder. Needs BepInExPack.

Notes

Doesn't touch anything else about the shopkeeper. It still gets angry at everyone else, still shoots, still does its thing.

The auto-wake fires once per shop. If the host switches it off after that, it stays off.

When a non-host press gets blocked you get one line in the BepInEx log. Otherwise quiet.

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
