Beacon

v1.0.0·Updated 2026-08-08

Ping what you are looking at. Middle click drops a marker in your colour that everyone sees, sticks to people and pets, and shows through walls.

About this mod Author’s original text

What It Does:

Beacon lets you point at things. Point at a person, a customer or a pet instead and the marker rides above their head and follows them about, so you can flag the impostor without typing a word.

Features:

  • Your colour: the marker carries your shirt colour, so everyone can tell whose ping it is
  • Ping people: markers on a coworker, a customer or a pet follow them

How to Install:

  • Use any compatible mod manager for the easiest installation.

OR

  • Make sure you have BepInEx 6 IL2CPP installed.
  • Download this mod and put it in your BepInEx plugins folder. (\GAME_LOCATION\Shift At Midnight\BepInEx\plugins)

Everyone needs this mod. Unlike a mod that only changes what you see, this one changes what everyone sees, so anybody without it installed sees nothing at all. Your ping is shared through the lobby, and a player without the mod has nothing listening for it.

Nobody needs to be the host, and it works fine on your own.

How to Use:

Look at something and press the middle mouse button.

Point at somebody instead and there is no ring. The arrow rides over their head and goes where they go.

Configuration:

The only setting is which key drops a marker, and you only need it if middle mouse is taken on your setup.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
  3. For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.

Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
