PlayerTrails for H3VR

Fully customisable trails for your head/body and hands.

Origin Story

Whilst working on my randomised Take and Hold map Virtual Mission, I decided to include a player trail system to compliment the cyber theming it has. Well I then got to wondering if I could abstract that into a general mod and so, PlayerTrails was born! Bigger and better than ever before it allows for a large amount of customisation, even down to importing your own textures to use. It would have been done months ago, except for the fact I also decided to include a spawnable panel for easy in game editing which meant I had to do some actual work instead of just copying and pasting my old code.

Ok, that's neat but what options actually are there?

The configs are separated into four categories:

• Toggles
  • Individual toggles for each trail, turn one off if it's getting in the way!
• Offsets
  • Change the position for each trail, move them about to your hearts content.
• Material
  • Change the texture of your trail, done by dropping files into the mod folder (see below.)
  • Colour your trail, includes start and end colour, and alpha/transparency so you can gradient and even fade out your trail.
• Trail
  • Make loooooooong trails, change the time the trail is around for, longer time = longer trail.
  • Change the start and end width, want a trail with GIRTH? This is the setting for you. Each trail can be individually scaled!

Wait, you said something about custom textures?

That's right! I've included a few textures by default but you can also add your own. Simply open up the mod's folder (if using r2modmanager you can find this by selecting the "Browse profile folder" setting then navigating to BepInEx\plugins\JalexInteractive-PlayerTrails\textures).

In here you'll find the existing examples but drop any PNG or JPG image into that folder and the mod should be able to pick it up. Then you can simply change the mod configs via r2 or the included mod options panel to your new image and there you have it, your custom trail is now in game!

This is all pretty neat, how can I say thanks!

I'm around on the main H3VR and related modding Discords so if you like the mod, do let me know! If you're feeling totally baller high roller swag you can also leave me a tip on my Ko-Fi

Any final words?

If the idea gets enough interest, maybe I could add in some picatinny attachments to trail up your guns. Let me know if you'd be interested! Proud to say this mod is 100% meat-made. No AI was involved in the creation of this mod.
