SimpleModMenu

Simple Mod Menu

An in-game admin panel for Risk of Rain 2, built for LAN / online co-op sessions where the host wants quick server-side controls (money, health, stages, teleportation, items, and more). It also includes a world highlight shortcut to spot interactables on the current stage.

Controls

| Input | Action |

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

| Ctrl + Shift + D | Toggle the admin panel (open / close). |

| F2 | Toggle interactable highlight — while enabled, eligible PurchaseInteractions (e.g. chests, shops) and unopened BarrelInteractions get a yellow highlight so they are easier to see. Works outside the admin panel; logs [Highlight] ON/OFF to the BepInEx console. |

Keyboard note: Use Left or Right Ctrl, Left or Right Shift, and D.

Requirements

• Risk of Rain 2 (Windows, Steam — typical mod setup).
• BepInEx 5 (not BepInEx 6 / IL2CPP).
• HookGenPatcher (provides MMHOOK_RoR2 used by this plugin’s MonoMod hooks).

Install via r2modman, Mod Manager, or manually into BepInEx/plugins.

Installation

r2modman (recommended)

• Install BepInExPack and HookGenPatcher for Risk of Rain 2 if you have not already.
• Subscribe to Simple Mod Menu and enable it on your profile.
• Launch the game modded once so HookGen can generate hooks if needed.

Manual

• Extract SimpleModMenu.dll into:

Risk of Rain 2 / BepInEx / plugins / SimpleModMenu /

(Or any subfolder under plugins/ — BepInEx loads all plugin DLLs recursively.)

• Ensure BepInEx 5 and HookGenPatcher are installed and up to date.

Who can use what?

Admin panel (Ctrl + Shift + D)

• Only the host can see and use the panel. The UI is drawn only when NetworkServer.active is true (you are the server).
• Clients can still install the mod without breaking anything; they simply won’t get a usable panel when they press the shortcut (non-host).

Highlight (F2)

• Per-client. Each player with the mod can toggle highlights on their own machine; it does not grant extra gameplay authority.

Admin panel — features overview

The window is draggable (IMGUI). Pick targets (players) at the top; many actions apply to everyone you have checked.

Sections include:

• Money — Give or take lump sums, reset to $0 for selected players.
• Health — God mode, full heal, kill, set HP to 1, set HP to 10%, etc.
• Misc (combat / movement) — Options such as invisibility (Intangible buff + local mesh hiding), no gravity, no clip (free fly; movement uses the target player’s inputs — see in-panel hints), instant skills, outgoing damage multiplier, attack speed multiplier (applied after stat calculation).
• Run — Advance to the next stage (server).
• Teleportation — Move selected living players to the teleporter, stage entrance spawn, toward the local player (host), or toward another living player (when valid for the current stage).
• Inventory — Give / remove permanent items (including subtract mode), clear all items, give / clear equipment, with search / filter and tier foldouts. Click the search field first if you need to type without sending keys to gameplay; Esc or Done returns focus to the game.

All state-changing gameplay actions run on the server and use RoR2 APIs that replicate where appropriate.

Multiplayer & etiquette

This mod is powerful and clearly aimed at trusted lobbies (friends, testing, chaos runs). Only install it if everyone in the session agrees. Random online games are not a good fit.

Localization

Admin UI strings follow the game language: if Risk of Rain 2 is set to French, many labels use French; otherwise English is used by default.

Troubleshooting

• Panel shortcut does nothing — You are likely not the host, or you are not in a run (Run.instance must exist for the window to draw).
• Hooks / compile errors — Confirm HookGenPatcher ran at least once on this profile and that MMHOOK_RoR2.dll exists under your BepInEx plugins path for HookGen.
• DLL locked on build — Close Risk of Rain 2 before copying or rebuilding the plugin.
