Simple Death Counter (BepInEx) — v0.2.0

A tiny on-screen death counter that just works, with a little animation when you die, with a config that updates in real time without having to restart the game to take effect

✨ Features

• Live counter — renders Deaths: N while you play.
• Counter animation — brief animation when you die (toggleable).
• Smart sizing — auto-scales with screen height or use a fixed font size.
• Configurable position — move the counter with PosX/PosY (negative Y = from bottom).
• Hot-reload config — saving the .cfg updates in-game instantly.

📦 Requirements

• BepInEx 5 (Mono) installed for your game.

⚙️ Configuration

Keys:

[UI]
PosX = 24                ; pixels from the left
PosY = -72               ; pixels (negative = distance from bottom)
FontSize = 26            ; used when AutoFontSize = false
AutoFontSize = true      ; if true, ~3% of screen height
EnableDeathAnimation = true

[Data]
DeathCount = 0           ; current total (you can edit/reset)

Tips

• Want a fixed size? Set AutoFontSize = false and adjust FontSize.
• Move the counter up from the bottom by using a negative PosY (e.g., -72).

🧪 Usage

• The overlay shows Deaths: 1234.
• Each death increments the count and triggers a short pop animation (if enabled).
