ImpactFrameMod

Impact Frame Mod

A visual mod for How To Fish that introduces a violent Impact Frame effect whenever you fire a high-damage weapon like a sniper.

When you shoot, the screen edges suffer a heavy camera lens shockwave combined with maximum chromatic aberration, snappily returning to normal to emphasize the sheer power and recoil of the shot.

Configuration Options

This mod generates a standard configuration file (com.impactframe.mod) inside your BepInEx/config folder upon the first launch. You can tweak the following settings:

[Impact Frame]

• Enabled (Default: true): Easily turn the entire visual effect on or off.
• Sound Enabled (Default: true): Plays shoot_effect.ogg whenever the Impact Frame is applied.
• Duration Frames (60 FPS) (Range: 1-90, Default: 45): Customize how long the impact and its smooth recovery transition lasts. (e.g., 30 frames ≈ 0.5s).
• Lens Distortion Intensity (Range: -1.0 to 1.0, Default: -0.7): Control the violent camera shift. Negative values stretch outward like a reverse fisheye, positive values pinch inward.
• Chromatic Aberration Intensity (Range: 0.0 to 1.0, Default: 1.0): The amount of color-channel splitting (red/blue fringe refraction) at the peak of the impact.

[Impact Frame Detection]

• Detect By Name (Default: true): Automatically triggers the impact frame if the active weapon's GameObject contains the word "Sniper".
• Detect By Damage (Default: true): Triggers the effect dynamically based on firepower, regardless of the weapon's name.
• Damage Threshold (Range: 100-150, Default: 150): The minimum damage required to trigger the effect if damage detection is active.

Installation

• Ensure you have BepInEx installed properly.
• Download this mod and extract the contents into your game's BepInEx/plugins/ directory.
• (Optional) Run the game once to generate the config file, then adjust values inside BepInEx/config/ImpactFrameMod.cfg using a text editor or via r2modman Mod Manager.

Compatibility

• Built natively using the Unity engine.
