Start With Backpacks

Start With Backpacks 🎒 for PEAK

Everyone starts the climb with a backpack (or fannypack!) — including late joiners and people who disconnect and come back. Host-only: only the host needs the mod!

Features

• Run start — all players get a pack once their inventory is ready
• Late joiners / reconnects — alive joins get one when ready; dead ghosts get one after revive + warp
• Optional revive refill — host can give a pack to anyone revived without one
• Fannypack / random — host can grant fannypacks instead, or randomize backpack vs fannypack per player
• Host-only — clients do not need this mod installed
• Not a drop refill — dropping a pack does not grant another (unless they later revive with the revive config on)

How it works

PEAK’s inventory is host-authoritative. This mod only runs grants on the master client, then uses vanilla AddItem / inventory sync so unmodded clients still receive the pack.

| Case | What happens |

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

| 1. Normal run start (airport → Level_*) | Queued on character register; granted when inventory exists and they’re alive |

| 2. Late join / reconnect | Marked mid-run join or reconnect. Alive → grant on shore wake. Dead / DeathOnArrival → grant after revive, once any warp finishes (no grant during the brief flicker-alive window) |

| 3. GiveBackpackOnAnyRevive | If enabled, every revive can grant a pack when they’re not warping and have no pack |

**What it does not do

• Does not let clients cheat a pack into someone else’s lobby
• Does nothing outside gameplay levels (airport, menus, etc.)
• Does not poll every frame — only event / revive / warp-completed hooks

Configuration

After first launch:

BepInEx/config/tony4twentys.Start_With_Backpacks.cfg

| Option | Default | Meaning |

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

| GiveBackpackOnAnyRevive | false | true = any revive without a pack gets one. false = only run-start / late-join / reconnect starters |

| UseFannypack | false | true = grant Fannypack (166) instead of Backpack (6). Ignored if RandomPack is on |

| RandomPack | false | true = each player randomly gets Backpack or Fannypack (host picks) |

Works with ModConfig if you use it.
