RopeSwingingMod

Rope Swinging Mod v0.6.3

RopeSwing is a mod for PEAK that allows swinging on ropes by adding dynamic momentum, player-controlled swing forces to rope segments. This mod lets you push yourself around while climbing ropes.

This mod is still janky and a work in progress. See this as a beta mod until it eventually reaches version 1.0.0. Feel free to give feedback in the PEAK Modding Discord.

Features

• Adds player-controlled swinging while climbing a rope
• Configurable swing strength and keys
• Configurable rope segment mass
• Configurable rope joint limits to fine-tune how freely the rope bends
• Multiplier for swing power scaling with rope length
• Compatible with ragdoll parts to make rope interactions look more physical

Controls

| Action | Default Key |

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

| Swing forward | Left Shift |

| Swing backward | Left Control|

| Swing left | A |

| Swing right | D |

All of these keys can be changed in the BepInEx config file after first launch.

Configuration

After running the game once with the mod installed, a config file will be created under:

BepInEx/config/com.lamia.ropeswing.cfg

Here you can adjust:

• BaseForce — how much force is applied when swinging
• JointAngularZLimit — how far each rope segment can twist
• RopeMass — mass of each segment
• SegmentYouAreOnRopeMass — mass of the segment you are currently grabbing
• RopeLengthSpeedMultiplierPerSegment — how much swing power scales per segment down the rope
• Key bindings for swinging in each direction

Installation

• Install BepInEx for your PEAK version
• Place Rope Swing Mod.dll into your BepInEx/plugins folder
• Launch the game once to generate the config
• Adjust the config to taste
• Enjoy swinging!

Known Issues

• Heavy joint limits may cause the rope to feel stiff
• High masses or limits might break physics if too extreme
• The whole system is still extremely janky and not fine tuned. If you have any ideas or you found good configurations- please reach out to me on the Peak Modding Discord!
• Because of how the ropes and climbing normally works in PEAK, you always seem to be 'dragged' after the rope. I want to fix it by making it smoother but I don't know how yet

Ideas

• I thought about adding a small boost after jumping off a rope, simulating momentum

Changelog

0.6.3

• Fixed a bug where you would fall off the rope if climbing down while swinging

0.6.2

• Added full configurability
• This is still very much a work in progress
