RandomCreatureSize

RandomCreatureSize — 隨機生物尺寸

English

Overview

Every creature in the game — seagulls, the whole fish family, crabs, albatrosses and bosses — gets a random visual size when it spawns. One value, s, drives everything:

appearance = weight = sell price = save = multiplayer — a single value throughout.

• Server-authoritative: the size is rolled on the server and written into the creature's synced weight field, so every client sees the exact same size (works in multiplayer with no extra sync).
• Per-axis jitter (±30% by default): length / width / height each jitter around s, derived deterministically from the object id — same body shape for everyone.
• Save persistence: a caught fish keeps its size after reloading (the saved weight is the size).
• Bosses use their own independent scale range (0.5–2 by default) and can be toggled separately.
• v1.1+: bigger creatures move slower (speed = 1 / size^exponent, floored) and HP scales linearly with size (×s, minimum 1).
• 100% vanilla when disabled: with every toggle off, behavior is identical to the unmodded game.

Installation

• Install BepInEx 5 (BepInExPack for How to Fish) into the game directory.
• Extract the zip and merge the BepInEx folder into the game folder (e.g. F:\steam\steamapps\common\How to Fish\How to Fish\).
• Start the game through Steam (steam://rungameid/4001890). The mod auto-loads; check BepInEx\LogOutput.log for RandomCreatureSize.

The plugin lives at BepInEx\plugins\RandomCreatureSize\RandomCreatureSize.dll.

Configuration

First launch generates BepInEx\config\top.yw.randomcreaturesize.cfg — edit it while the game is closed (or use the in-game Mod Menu if installed).

| Section | Key | Default | Description |

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

| General | Enabled | true | Master switch (off = fully vanilla) |

| Category | ScaleBirds | true | Seagulls |

| Category | ScaleFish | true | Fish family (caught fish / land fish / attacking fish) |

| Category | ScaleOthers | true | Other creatures (crabs, albatross, decoys...) |

| Category | ScaleBosses | true | Bosses (independent range; off = fully vanilla bosses) |

| Size | MinScale / MaxScale | 0.1 / 10 | Normal creature multiplier range |

| Size | BossMinScale / BossMaxScale | 0.5 / 2 | Boss multiplier range |

| Size | LogUniform | true | Log-uniform distribution (0.1/1/10 equally likely); false = uniform |

| Size | JitterEnabled | true | Per-axis jitter (off = pure uniform scaling) |

| Size | JitterPercent | 0.3 | Jitter amount (±30%) |

| Size | ExtremeBias | 0.3 | Bias toward extreme sizes (0 = log-uniform, 1 = always extreme) |

| Size | SpeedEnabled | true | Bigger creatures move slower (s≤1 keeps vanilla speed) |

| Size | SpeedPow | 0.5 | Speed decay exponent: speed = 1 / size^exponent |

| Size | SpeedMinFactor | 0.4 | Speed floor (slowest = 40% of vanilla, i.e. at most 60% slower) |

模組簡介

遊戲內所有生物（海鷗、全魚類家族、螃蟹、信天翁、Boss）在生成時獲得隨機外觀尺寸。一個值 s 貫通一切：

外觀 = 重量 = 售價 = 存檔 = 聯機 —— 一個值全通。

• 服務器權威：尺寸在服務器擲點並寫入生物同步重量字段，所有客戶端看到完全一致的大小（聯機無需額外同步）。
• 分軸抖動（默認 ±30%）：長/寬/高在 s 附近各自隨機，由 ObjectId 確定性派生 —— 所有人看到同一體型。
• 讀檔保持：釣上來的魚讀檔後保持尺寸（存檔重量就是 s）。
• Boss 獨立倍率（默認 0.5–2），可單獨開關。
• v1.1+：尺寸越大移動越慢（速度 = 1/尺寸^指數，有下限）；血量隨尺寸線性變化（×s，最低 1）。
• 關閉全部開關後與原版完全一致。

安裝方法

• 先把 BepInEx 5（How to Fish 的 BepInExPack）裝進遊戲目錄。
• 解壓本 zip，把 BepInEx 文件夾合併進遊戲目錄（如 F:\steam\steamapps\common\How to Fish\How to Fish\）。
• 通過 Steam 啓動遊戲。插件自動加載，可在 BepInEx\LogOutput.log 中看到 RandomCreatureSize。

插件位置：BepInEx\plugins\RandomCreatureSize\RandomCreatureSize.dll

首次啓動生成 BepInEx\config\top.yw.randomcreaturesize.cfg，關閉遊戲後編輯（裝了 Mod Menu 也可在遊戲內改）。
