ValueDisplay

A HUD enhancement mod for Lethal Company (BepInEx 5) that shows the scrap price of each inventory slot directly below the slot (plain value number, e.g. 34) and the total value of all carried scrap above the inventory (e.g. Total: 520). Slot prices only appear when the slot holds a valuable scrap item (isScrap == true and scrapValue > 0); empty slots and tool items (flashlight, shovel, gun, etc.) show nothing.

A pure client-side mod. The only dependencies are BepInEx and Harmony — no other prerequisites, no network code, no save file changes.

Features

• Slot price display: the exact scrap value under each inventory slot, as a plain number.
• Carried total value: the sum of all scrap in your inventory, displayed above the inventory; hidden when the total is 0.
• Hotkey toggle: press a configurable key (default Insert, supports modifiers such as Ctrl+I / Alt+V) to show or hide all price texts in real time.
• Independent font sizes: slot price and total value font sizes are configured separately (defaults 10 and 8).
• Optional rarity colors: off by default (white text); when enabled, values are colored white → green → blue → purple → gold → red with configurable thresholds (defaults 30/60/90/120/150), independently for slot prices and the total value.
• Localization: all UI text is read from language files. 8 languages are bundled — en, zh-CN, ru, pl, la, fr, pt, es — switchable via config; falls back to built-in English if a file is missing or unreadable.
• Stable positioning: all text is attached under HUDManager.HUDContainer (no rotation, no scaling) and repositioned every frame from the slot's world position, so prices never flicker or tilt. Designed for the vanilla v81 slot layout.

Configuration

Config file: BepInEx/config/ValueDisplay.cfg (generated on first launch; restart the game after editing).

Key	Section	Default	Description
Language	General	en	UI language file to load (ValueDisplay_<lang>.lang next to the DLL). Built-in: en, zh-CN, ru, pl, la, fr, pt, es; any custom name (e.g. de → ValueDisplay_de.lang) also works.
ToggleKey	General	Insert	Hotkey to show/hide all price texts in real time.
ShowSlotValue	Display	true	Show the scrap price below each inventory slot.
ShowTotalValue	Display	true	Show the total value of carried scrap above the inventory.
SlotFontSize	Display	10	Font size of the slot price text.
TotalFontSize	Display	8	Font size of the total value text.
SlotColorEnabled	Display	false	Color slot prices by value tier.
TotalColorEnabled	Display	false	Color the total value by value tier.
ColorThresholdGreen	Display	30	Values >= threshold are colored green.
ColorThresholdBlue	Display	60	Values >= threshold are colored blue.
ColorThresholdPurple	Display	90	Values >= threshold are colored purple.
ColorThresholdGold	Display	120	Values >= threshold are colored gold.
ColorThresholdRed	Display	150	Values >= threshold are colored red.

Color Tiers

When SlotColorEnabled / TotalColorEnabled is enabled, the highest tier matched by value >= threshold is applied:

Value range	Color
>= ColorThresholdRed (default 150)	Red (1.00, 0.20, 0.20)
>= ColorThresholdGold (default 120)	Gold (1.00, 0.84, 0.00)
>= ColorThresholdPurple (default 90)	Purple (0.70, 0.30, 1.00)
>= ColorThresholdBlue (default 60)	Blue (0.25, 0.55, 1.00)
>= ColorThresholdGreen (default 30)	Green (0.20, 0.90, 0.20)
otherwise	White (default)

Slot prices are colored by the single item's scrapValue; the total value is colored by the sum of carried scrap. The two settings are independent.

Languages

Language files must sit next to ValueDisplay.dll (i.e. BepInEx/plugins/ValueDisplay/) and follow the naming ValueDisplay_<lang>.lang, where <lang> is the value of the Language config option.

Bundled language files:

File	Language
ValueDisplay_en.lang	English
ValueDisplay_zh-CN.lang	Simplified Chinese
ValueDisplay_ru.lang	Russian
ValueDisplay_pl.lang	Polish
ValueDisplay_la.lang	Latin
ValueDisplay_fr.lang	French
ValueDisplay_pt.lang	Portuguese
ValueDisplay_es.lang	Spanish

File format is simple key=value lines; lines starting with # or ; are comments; {0} is the value placeholder:

# ValueDisplay English language file
slot_value_format={0}         # slot price text (plain number, e.g. 34)
total_value_format=Total: {0} # total value text
scanned_value_format=Scanned: {0}

Supported keys:

Key	Description	Example
slot_value_format	Slot price text ({0} = value)	34
slot_value_unknown	Text when a slot's value is unknown	???
total_value_format	Carried total value text	Total: 520
scanned_value_format	Scanned value text	Scanned: 120

If the configured language file is missing, unparseable or unreadable, the mod falls back to the built-in English text.

Installation

1. Install BepInEx 5 (this mod is built against BepInEx 5 + Harmony).
2. Put ValueDisplay.dll and the language files (ValueDisplay_*.lang) into BepInEx/plugins/ValueDisplay/.
3. Launch the game; the config file is generated on first start.

Building from Source

Requirements: .NET SDK (net48 target, e.g. SDK 8/10) + a local Lethal Company install with BepInEx 5.

1. Get the project files: ValueDisplay.csproj, Plugin.cs, Translation.cs, ValueHudController.cs, HudManagerPatch.cs, ScanNodePatch.cs.

2. Adjust reference paths in ValueDisplay.csproj if needed:

   • BepInEx.dll / 0Harmony.dll: <your BepInEx dir>/BepInEx/core/
   • Assembly-CSharp.dll, Unity.Netcode.Runtime.dll, UnityEngine*.dll, Unity.TextMeshPro.dll: <game dir>/Lethal Company_Data/Managed/

3. Build:

   dotnet build -c Release
   

4. Copy bin/Release/net48/ValueDisplay.dll plus the .lang files into BepInEx/plugins/ValueDisplay/.

Technical Notes

• Entry point: ValueDisplayPlugin (BepInPlugin GUID: ValueDisplay, version 0.0.1).
• Mounting: a Harmony postfix on HUDManager.Start idempotently creates a ValueHudController under HUDManager.HUDContainer; no startup delay.
• Translation: the static Translation class loads ValueDisplay_<lang>.lang at startup and caches the text dictionary; ValueHudController fetches formatted text via Translation.Get every frame.
• Refresh: ValueHudController.Update walks the local player's ItemSlots every frame and updates slot/total texts by isScrap && scrapValue > 0.
• This mod does not modify game files, does not inject into other mods, and produces no network synchronization.
