No Forest Falling Trees

No Forest Falling Trees

A lightweight BepInEx mod for SULFUR that removes the sudden falling-tree scare from Forest Ambush events while keeping the encounter logic intact.

What This Mod Does

This mod targets Forest Ambush events such as:

Event_Forest_Ambush1

Event_Forest_Ambush2

Event_Forest_Ambush3

It removes the falling-tree presentation by neutralizing the visual and collision parts of the ambush trees.

The mod hides or disables:

Ambush tree renderers

Ambush tree colliders

Ambush TreeShakeable components

Ambush particle visuals

Ambush falling-tree audio volume

What This Mod Does NOT Do

This mod does not remove the Forest Ambush event itself.

It does not disable:

ForestAmbush Animator

Trigger

TriggerSpawner

NavMeshAnchor

Ghost scare events

Ghost spawns

Abomination

Normal enemy spawns

Ambush encounter logic

The goal is:

No sudden falling trees.

Same encounter logic.

Important Fix in 1.3.1

Version 1.3.0 had an issue where ghost scare animations could trigger, but the ghost itself might not spawn afterward.

This happened because the previous implementation disabled the ForestAmbush Animator on the Ambush Contents object.

Version 1.3.1 fixes this by keeping the Animator active and only hiding the falling-tree presentation.

Installation

r2modman

Install the mod through Mod Manager or r2modman.

Make sure the required BepInEx dependency is installed.

Compatibility

This mod does not edit original game files.

It does not modify:

Weapons

Loot

Normal enemy AI

It should be compatible with most mods unless they also modify Forest Ambush event objects.

Known Notes

This mod relies on the internal Forest Ambush object structure used by SULFUR.

If a future game update changes the structure or names of Forest Ambush events, this mod may need an update.

Uninstallation

Remove the mod DLL from:

BepInEx/plugins/

Optionally remove the generated config file.
