CrewMonitors

Lethal Company BepInEx mod that adds a fixed 4-panel crew monitor stack on the ship wall. Each panel shows OpenBodyCams body cams (and map / external views via the cycle button).: MrGlim-CrewMonitors

Source: lc-mods/CrewMonitors

Game: Lethal Company (BepInEx)

Networking: Install with OpenBodyCams on host and clients for monitor feeds. This is display QoL on top of OpenBodyCams — no extra host-only gate beyond OBC itself.

Requirements

• BepInEx Pack
• Zaggy1024-OpenBodyCams (hard dependency)

OpenBodyCams notes

• If you use LethalLib, OpenBodyCams may require buying the antenna ship upgrade before body cams work.
• GeneralImprovements “better monitors” remaps which panel OpenBodyCams claims; this mod skips any renderer already owned by an OpenBodyCams body cam and never steals Cube.001 (OBC’s default main panel).
• This mod does not change OpenBodyCams quality settings (e.g. HorizontalResolution); configure those in the OpenBodyCams profile.
• Screen look matches OpenBodyCams MonitorEmissiveColor. ScreenBrightness only scales night-vision fill on crew body cams (keeps interior feeds from going milky).

Behavior

• Always 4 panels (default MaxMonitors=4, vertical stack). Living players fill from the bottom up. Empty slots stay Off (black). There is no round-robin duplication past 4 players.
• By default (PreferReuseVanillaScreens=false) leaves vanilla door/internal cams alone and clones SingleScreen panels on the main monitor wall (Cube.001), flush via localBounds depth + WallInset.
• Cycle button (bottom-right of each panel): grey bezel cylinder with a white face. Uses the vanilla hand cursor. Cycle order per panel:
• Off → player0 body → player0 map → player1 body → player1 map → … → External → Off
• Hover a panel: transparent cursor (no hand icon clutter). Tooltip shows the player name (and “Map” when on map feed). Tooltip is hidden for Off / External.
• Click a panel: focuses the ship main radar / teleporter target on that panel’s assigned player (mapScreen.SwitchRadarTargetAndSync). The other crew panels keep their own players.
• Optional world-space TMP nameplates under each monitor (ShowNameplates).
• AlwaysShowMonitors=true keeps all panel meshes visible; empty / Off slots stay black rather than hiding the frame.
