TimeFreeze

Freeze all NPC physics in BONELAB with a single button press.

Created by VoidIndustries

Features

• Single right thumbstick press to toggle time freeze on/off
• Grey visual filter — fog, ambient light dimming, and per-light dimming when frozen
• Custom sounds — plays time stop/resume audio from UserData/TimeFreeze/Sounds/
• Player exclusion — player ragdoll is never affected by freeze
• BoneMenu integration — ON/OFF toggle in BoneMenu (green = ON, red = OFF)
• Performance optimized — zero GC allocations during freeze, cached player rigidbodies

Controls

Installation

1. Install MelonLoader for BONELAB
2. Install BoneLib and AudioImportLib
3. Download TimeFreezeMod.dll and place it in BONELAB/Mods/
4. (Optional) Place time stop.mp3 and time resume.mp3 in BONELAB/UserData/TimeFreeze/Sounds/

Custom Sounds

Place your own .mp3 files in:

BONELAB/UserData/TimeFreeze/Sounds/time stop.mp3
BONELAB/UserData/TimeFreeze/Sounds/time resume.mp3

If files are not found, the mod works silently without sound effects.

LabFusion (Multiplayer) Compatibility

This mod is compatible with LabFusion, but with an important caveat:

The freeze effect is local only. Only you will see frozen NPCs, the grey visual filter, and hear the time stop/resume sounds. Other players in the session will not see any of these effects — NPCs will appear to move normally on their end.

This is a deliberate design choice: freezing RPCs across the network could cause desync issues. The mod is purely a client-side cosmetic experience for personal immersion.
