LoadingWidgetREPO

LoadingWidget

A panel on the R.E.P.O. loading screen — the one place the normal menus can't reach. Every

player running the mod sees it while a multiplayer level load is in flight — between levels in

the game itself, including through the scene-swap gap where even the game's own UI is gone; never

on the boot/menu loads or in singleplayer. Works on its own;

SharePermissions is an optional companion that

unlocks its full moderation stack.

Everyone sees:

• every connected player with their live load state — LOADING / BUILDING / LOADED / READY — so

the one player hanging the load is visible at a glance. When a load is genuinely stuck (the

game's own ~25s verdict, or the panel's own backstop for the Start/reload phases it misses), the

header flags STUCK and the blocking rows burn red

• a talking-volume bar per player
• a per-player local voice volume slider (0–200%, this machine only, resets on room leave)

Moderators (the host — plus SharePermissions moderators when it's installed) additionally get:

• Kick / Ban for stuck or misbehaving players
• a Lobby button that brings the whole room back to the lobby even when a load is stuck — with

the host-side QUEUED / FORCE rescue escalation for a wedged transition (the vanilla stuck

prompt only offers leaving the room; this bail keeps the room intact)

Standalone vs. with SharePermissions

The mod detects SharePermissions at startup and uses all of it when found:

| | Standalone | With SharePermissions v1.17.0+ |

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

| Who sees the panel | Everyone in the room running the mod | Everyone in the room running the mod |

| Who gets moderation actions | Host only | Host and SharePermissions moderators |

| Kick / Ban | The game's own kick & ban (host) | SharePermissions rules & wire protocol — moderators can kick remotely, bans are audited |

| Role icons | Host crown only | Full tiers: host / moderator / mod user / no mod |

| Lobby + QUEUED/FORCE rescue | Yes (host) | Yes, plus moderator-initiated via wire command |

| Load states, talking bars, local volume | Yes | Yes |

| Panel on/off toggle | This mod's config: UI / ShowLoadingPanel in BepInEx/config/RED.LoadingWidget.cfg | SharePermissions' Settings tab "Loading panel" (config: UI / ShowLoadingPanel in SharePermissions' config file) — live, mid-load included |

Note on older SharePermissions (≤ 1.16.x): those versions ship this panel inside

SharePermissions itself, so LoadingWidget stays dormant (one log line, no double panel). Update

SharePermissions to 1.17.0+ — or uninstall it — to activate LoadingWidget.

Quick start

• Install this mod. That's it — the panel appears on multiplayer loading screens for everyone

running it; the kick/ban and lobby controls light up for the host.

• Optional: install SharePermissions v1.17.0+ (and set it up as usual, secret code etc.) to get

moderator access, role tiers, and its kick/ban machinery on the panel.

For developers

This mod is the panel UI plus the native FORCE lobby rescue, talking to a backend picked once

at startup (Plugin.ResolveBackend, soft [BepInDependency] so SharePermissions loads first when

present):

• Bridged — SharePermissions v1.17.0+ installed: moderation goes through its public facade

SharePermissions.Api.LoadingWidgetBridge (additive-only stability contract).

• Standalone — SharePermissions absent: host-only moderation fallbacks on the game's own

machinery (native kick/ban wire events, replicated lobby-return, own PlayerVoiceChat postfix

for talking bars and local volume — applied only in this mode so the two mods never double-apply

volume factors).

• FORCE is native in both modes (src/StandaloneLobby.cs): the wedged-transition restart acts

on the game's pipeline, not on backend state, so it lives here; the backend that owns the queued

return finishes the trip after the reboot.

src/SharePermissionsBackend.cs is the only file allowed to reference SharePermissions.*
