About this mod Author’s original text

Ruler

Adds a new command for measuring and visualizing distances.

Install on the client (modding guide).

Usage

  • ruler: Spawns the ruler object at your current position. If used at the same position, the ruler is removed.
  • ruler [radius]: Spawns the ruler with a custom radius. This can be used to visualize the distance.

For example bind o ruler to quickly use the ruler with the O key. Or bind o ruler 10 if you want to visualize a radius of 10 meters.

The distance is shown on the left side of the HUD. Following information is shown:

  • Distance on each axis.
  • Total distance.
  • Distance on the XZ plane (without up / down direction).

Configuration

  • Color (default: red): Color of the ruler object.
  • Draw 3d (default: true): Whether to draw the ruler object as a sphere or as a circle.
  • Draw axis (default true): Whether to draw axis lines on the ruler object.
  • Line width (default: 10): Size of the ruler object lines.
  • Show text (default: true): Whether to show text on the HUD.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. 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.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. 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. In multiplayer, the host and every client need the same mods installed.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
