Ben Goop

A Content Warning mod that adds the Ben Goop - a mysterious goo ball you can eat to trip absolute balls.

Developed by BenContentWarning.

Features

• Press F5 in game to add a Ben Goop straight to your inventory and equip it (remappable in BepInEx/config).
• Pick it up and click (left-click / use) while holding to eat it.
• The high lasts about 85 seconds and changes over time like a real drug - come-up, peak, come-down:
  • Hallucinated Bens: fading, incorporeal Zombe/Snailbie ghosts (no collision - you can walk through them). They are YOUR hallucination, spawned locally on your own client: only you see them, they never show up on camera if you film while tripping, and they never bother other players.
  • Vision distortion: rolling full-spectrum hue shifts, split-toned colour everywhere, channel-smearing, chromatic aberration, lens warping, tunnel-vision vignette, film grain and white-balance swings that all pulse in their own rhythm. Sudden "waves" slam the chromatic/lens distortion like a surge of the drug.
  • After-image overlays: the screen is snapshotted on two delays (~0.1s and ~0.2s) and faded back over everything - the world smears and trails behind you with a twin ghost.
  • Spins & shakes: sudden camera rolls, FOV pulses and screen shakes.
  • Stumbling: your legs give out randomly when it hits hard.
• The suspicious goo is the actual in-game Goo Ball mesh with a fresh coat of "taste the rainbow".
• Your controls are never inverted - the trip is always playable.
• Press F7 to instantly trigger the trip on yourself for testing (remappable too).
• The whole thing is performance-friendly: no expensive depth-of-field or motion-blur, just light color-grade passes and a quarter-res screen capture at 10Hz.

Requirements

• BepInEx 5 (BepInExPack 5.4.x)
• MyceliumNetworking 1.0.14+

1. Install BepInEx for Content Warning.
2. Drop MyceliumNetworkingForCW.dll into BepInEx/plugins/MyceliumNetworking/.

4. Launch the game, join/create a lobby, press F5, and eat that goop.

Building

C:\Users\Alex\.dotnet\dotnet.exe build -c Release

Requires the game to be installed at the default path (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Content Warning). You can override with -p:CWDir=.... The build copies BenGoop.dll into the game's BepInEx/plugins/BenGoop/ folder automatically.

Files

• Plugin.cs — BepInEx plugin, F5 spawn key, Mycelium RPC registration.
• GoopItem.cs — clones the in-game GooBall into a "Ben Goop" item, registers it in the ItemDatabase, and handles the eat-on-click behaviour.
• TripEffect.cs — the drug state machine (come-up/peak/come-down), camera + post-processing distortion, the spins, stumbling, and the host-side hallucination spawner.
• GhostBen.cs — the hallucination Bens (harmless drifting ghosts, synced to every client).
• InputInversion.cs — Harmony patch that inverts controls at the input source while the trip says so.
• BenGoop.csproj — build setup (netstandard2.1, game references, Publicizer).
