Take & Hold Framework

A successor to DevynDaMonster's TNHTweaker, TNHFramework aims to act as a base for anyone who wants to implement custom content for Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades's Take & Hold gamemode.

NEW

• New TNHFramework Options menu board on the left side of the TNH lobby! It has a selection of gameplay options from the mod panel. Check the mod panel for more.

• You can make Regenerative, Cascading and Orthogonal encryptions easier in Spawnlocking mode. Check the TNHFramework options. Details on the Wiki.

H3VR Build Version

This is for H3VR build 120p3 and up, which is currently on Main branch (as of Jul 2026). It will NOT work on any other branch, as there are many incompatible changes.

What is this?

This is the successor to TNHTweaker. It is forked from the original code, and has additions like Institution support and a new character selection UI. It also has a lot of bugfixes compared to TNHTweaker, and is up to date with the latest changes in build 120p3.

As Devyn is no longer working on H3VR mods, this is will be more up-to-date than TNHTweaker.

I still have Take & Hold Tweaker installed, what should I do?

Short version:

• Leave it installed. TNHFramework will handle everything for you.

Long version:

• TNHFramework has a patcher included that will modify TNHTweaker's files. If you want to disable TNHFramework and just run TNHTweaker, you should disable TNHFramework, and then disable TNHTweaker and re-enable it again.

Features

• Updated for H3VR 1.0!
• Updated to support Classic, Blitz and Rampart modes.
• Updated with all of the new features and fixes for TNH.
• Disables TNHTweaker automatically. Just leave it installed and let it be!
• Optional replacement for Magazine Patcher. No longer will you have crashes due to using too much RAM while loading.
• Full Institution support, with options to disable each type of construct separately.
• Options to make some of the encryptions easier in Spawnlocking mode.
• Global blacklist for any type of item.
• TNHTweaker bugfixes.
• Vanilla game bugfixes.
• Legacy mod fixes.
• This mod has previously been tested with EVERY custom character on Thunderstore.

Please see the CHANGELOG for the full list of changes from TNHTweaker.

Options

There are three ways to access the TNHFramework options:

1. In r2modman, go to Config editor > h3vr.tnhframework.cfg > Edit Config.
2. In game, spawn the mod panel using your wrist menu. Go to Plugins > TNHFramework.
3. In game, go to the TNH lobby and look to the left. Some gameplay options can be toggled there.

Character Creation

This guide should cover creating a custom character. Though hopefully this repository will have creating custom character information.
