AlwaysPracticeMakesPerfect

Always Practice Makes Perfect

A BepInEx mod for Mycopunk that always enables the Practice Makes Perfect reload timing mini-game on all weapons.

Features

• Always Practice Makes Perfect — During reload, a timing window appears; press Fire inside it to speed up the reload animation
• QTE progress bar — Full-reload bar with a sweet-spot band and moving cursor (replaces the flash popup)
• All weapons — Not limited to Lead Flinger; every gun with a reload gets the mini-game
• Vanilla Lead Flinger path — Lead Flinger uses the game's own insta-reload fields when the upgrade is not equipped
• Config toggle — Enable or disable from the BepInEx config file
• Tunable window & speed — Adjust timing window width and success speed multiplier
• Hot-reload — Config changes apply while the game is running
• Local player only — Does not affect other players

Dependencies

• Mycopunk
• BepInEx 5.4.2403 or compatible (via BepInExPack_Mycopunk)

Configuration

Settings live in:

| Setting | Default | Description |

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

| Enable Practice Makes Perfect | true | Enables the reload timing mini-game on all weapons |

| Window Duration | 0.12 | Width of the timing window (animation seconds) |

| Reload Speed Multiplier | 2.5 | Reload animation speed multiplier on a successful press |

Config changes are hot-reloaded while the game is running.

How it works

Vanilla Practice Makes Perfect (InstaReload) is a Lead Flinger upgrade: during reload a short window opens and pressing Fire multiplies reload animation speed.

This mod:

• Injects the same stats onto Lead Flinger when the upgrade is not equipped
• Recreates the same timing logic for every other gun
• Shows a progress bar for the full reload with a highlighted sweet-spot band; press Fire when the cursor is inside the band

Troubleshooting

• Mod not loading? Confirm BepInEx is installed and check the BepInEx log.
• No timing bar? Ensure Enable Practice Makes Perfect is true. Some weapons without a normal reload animation will not show a bar.
• Window too hard/easy? Lower or raise Window Duration. Raise Reload Speed Multiplier for a stronger success reward.

• Old config file? If you previously used sparroh.practicemakesperfectalways.cfg, delete it — the GUID is now sparroh.alwayspracticemakesperfect.
