REPO Race Spectator

English

REPO Race Spectator is a client-side mod that improves the Arena Race spectator experience in R.E.P.O.

In vanilla Arena Race spectating, it can be difficult to track player positions, rankings, and distance. This mod focuses on improving visibility while spectating, making it easier to follow the race.

Features

Improved ranking display

Improves the ranking display during Arena Race.

This makes it easier to see each player's current placement while spectating.

Track Piece display in the ranking list

Adds the current Track Piece number to the Arena Race ranking list while spectating.

Example:

1st P12 Player1

2nd P11 Player2

3rd P10 Player3

This helps you quickly understand how far the leading players have progressed through the race without adding a separate UI panel.

This display is only applied while spectating.

Player name labels

Displays world-space labels above players while spectating Arena Race.

Example:

1st Player1

2nd Player2

3rd Player3

The ranking text is color-coded by placement, and player names are displayed in white.

Better spectator visibility

Adjusts the spectator view to make Arena Race easier to watch.

• Reduces the effect of fog
• Makes distant players and track pieces easier to see
• Hides some unnecessary UI elements while spectating
• Allows manual brightness adjustment

Brightness can be adjusted with Alt + Mouse Wheel.

These changes make it easier to follow player positions and track conditions during the race.

Quick Race Start

Quick Race Start lets the host or singleplayer quickly switch to Arena Race.

By default, this can be triggered with the F9 key.

Unlike the visual-only features, this feature changes the current level to Arena Race and reloads the scene. It is useful when you want to quickly start Arena Race or restart it during testing.

Quick Race Start only works for the host or in singleplayer.

Config

The config file allows you to adjust label display and spectator visibility settings.

Only the main settings are explained here.

DefaultMode

Sets the default world label display mode.

| Value | Description |

| ------ | --------------------------------------- |

| Off | Disables world labels |

| Top3 | Shows labels only for the top 3 players |

| All | Shows labels for all players |

ToggleKey

Key used to switch the world label display mode.

Cycles through Off, Top3, and All.

ShowPieceInPlacementList

Adds the current Track Piece number to the vanilla Arena Race placement list while spectating.

When enabled, the ranking list will include the player's current piece number.

Example:

1st P12 Player1

2nd P11 Player2

3rd P10 Player3

This setting only affects the placement list during spectating.

HeightOffset

Adjusts the height of the label above each player.

Higher values move the label upward.

MinScale / MaxScale

Controls the world-space size of player labels.

Labels close to the camera use a size close to MinScale, while distant labels approach MaxScale.

With the normal SpectateCamera, the camera usually stays close to the target, so the effect may be hard to notice. This setting is more noticeable when using FreeCam or when viewing players far away from the current spectator target.

MinScaleDistance / MaxScaleDistance

Controls the distance range used for label scaling.

Lowering MaxScaleDistance makes labels become larger at shorter distances.

Increasing MaxScaleDistance makes the scaling feel more natural for FreeCam or long-distance views.

HideBehindCamera

Hides labels for players behind the camera.

Keeping this enabled is recommended for normal use.

Notes

Most features are client-side visual improvements.

However, Quick Race Start is host-only or singleplayer-only. This feature changes the current level to Arena Race and reloads the scene, so normal clients cannot use it by themselves.

The label distance scaling settings are especially useful for FreeCam or long-distance spectator views.
