About this mod Author’s original text
UCH Custom Names
A quick-and-dirty mod for Ultimate Chicken Horse that lets you rename local players.
Built with AI assistance because I had a silly need and didn't want to spend time on a proper UI.
Why?
I wanted my local players to have different names in the lobby.
This mod does exactly that – nothing more, nothing fancy.
Features
- Press F5 in-game to open a simple menu.
- Lists all local players (detected dynamically, no hardcoded limit).
- Change any player's name – it updates immediately for everyone in the lobby.
- Names are automatically saved (via PlayerPrefs) and reapplied when players rejoin.
- A custom cursor appears while the menu is open (because the game hides the default one).
Installation
- Download the CustomNames.dll from the Release folder (or compile it yourself).
- Drop it into your BepInEx/plugins folder.
- Launch Ultimate Chicken Horse.
Usage
- Get into any online lobby.
- Press F5 to open the menu.
- Click on a player (P1, P2, etc.) or use arrow keys to select.
- Type a new name in the text field.
- Click APPLY to change it immediately, or SAVE to store it for future sessions.
Requirements
- BepInEx 5.x or later.
Notes
- This is a quick hack, not a polished mod. It works, but the UI is basic.
- No game files are modified – it only uses existing network commands.
License
Do whatever you want with it.
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- 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.
- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- 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.
Dependencies
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
