NolvlupFlash
Disables the blinding flash and sound when minions level up. Essential for Downpour/Alloyed Collective runs.
About this mod Author’s original text
No Level Up Flash
Save Your Eyes, Save Your Frames.
Designed specifically for Downpour, Alloyed Collective, and long loops where the ambient level scale gets absurd.
When playing with difficulty mods, the ambient level can increase multiple times per second. If you have a drone army or Devotion Lemurians, this results in a constant, blinding strobe-light effect and a massive drop in FPS due to hundreds of particle systems spawning at once.
Features
- Visual Clarity: Stops your minions from turning into a strobe light during high-level scaling.
- Performance Boost: Significantly improves FPS on lower-end hardware (and the Steam Deck) by preventing hundreds of simultaneous "Level Up" particle effects.
- Configurable: Choose exactly what you want to see/hear.
- None (Default) - No flash, No sound. Recommended for performance.
- Ding - Sound only.
- Flash - Visual only.
- Both - Vanilla behavior.
Installation
Method 1: r2modman (Recommended)
- Open r2modman.
- Search for NolvlupFlash.
- Click Download.
This is the best method as it will auto-update the mod if I release fixes.
Method 2: Manual
- Download the zip.
- Extract NolvlupFlash.dll to your BepInEx/plugins folder.
Source code available on GitHub.
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:
