Poltergeist

Poltergeist

Adds things for dead players to do by letting them fly around in a freecam and perform various interactions.

Features:

• Instead of spectating normally, fly around in a freecam to watch what your friends are doing, or just to explore the map.
• Teleport to players (or what's left of them) with the press of a button.
• Toggle a global light to help you see in dark areas when dead.
• Make noises that can be customized via the mod files.
• Perform various interactions. Mess with your friends, or try to communicate with them from beyond the veil!.

Power

Interacting with the mortal plane isn't easy, and requires a certain amount of effort on the part of the ghost. This is represented by the power system.

• Interacting with different objects consumes power, a resource that regenerates slowly over time.
• As more and more players die, the maximum power available to ghosts will increase.
• Some actions require so much power that they may not be possible unless a certain number of players are dead. This prevents ghosts from doing anything grand at the start, but they will become more and more capable as the day goes on!

Custom Noises

By pressing 'V', it's possible for ghosts to make noises that the living can hear. These noises are pulled from the sounds folder in the mod files, which means that they can be changed! If you're careful about it, the sounds will even be synced between players! Some things to keep in mind while putting your own sounds:

• Sounds are only updated when the game starts, so changing them mid-game won't do anything.
• Only.wav,.ogg, and.mp3 files are supported. Any other file format will be ignored with a warning.
• Sounds are played from each player's machine, not streamed over the network. This means that people having different sound files in their folders will lead to them hearing different sounds. To make sure that your friends hear the same sounds as you, make sure that you all have the same files with the same names!

Soundpacks

Soundpacks are now possible! If another mod has a folder titled PoltergeistSounds in it, any files within that folder will be loaded in the same way as those in Poltergeist's sounds folder. To have your soundpack work with mod managers, it is suggested that you follow the folder structure MySoundpack/BepInEx/Plugins/PoltergeistSounds. MySoundpack's name should be changed to match the name of your mod, and it should contain your soundpack's manifest, icon, and readme. PoltergeistSounds should contain all of the sounds that you wish to add.
