CrewMonitors

Lethal Company BepInEx mod that adds a fixed 4-panel crew monitor stack on the ship wall. Each panel shows OpenBodyCams body cams (and map / external views via the cycle button).

Thunderstore: MrGlim-CrewMonitors
Source: lc-mods/CrewMonitors
Game: Lethal Company (BepInEx)

Networking: Install with OpenBodyCams on host and clients for monitor feeds. This is display QoL on top of OpenBodyCams — no extra host-only gate beyond OBC itself.

Requirements

• BepInEx Pack
• Zaggy1024-OpenBodyCams (hard dependency)

OpenBodyCams notes

• If you use LethalLib, OpenBodyCams may require buying the antenna ship upgrade before body cams work.
• GeneralImprovements “better monitors” remaps which panel OpenBodyCams claims; this mod skips any renderer already owned by an OpenBodyCams body cam and never steals Cube.001 (OBC’s default main panel).
• This mod does not change OpenBodyCams quality settings (e.g. HorizontalResolution); configure those in the OpenBodyCams profile.
• Screen look matches OpenBodyCams MonitorEmissiveColor. ScreenBrightness only scales night-vision fill on crew body cams (keeps interior feeds from going milky).

Behavior

1. Always 4 panels (default MaxMonitors=4, vertical stack). Living players fill from the bottom up. Empty slots stay Off (black). There is no round-robin duplication past 4 players.
2. By default (PreferReuseVanillaScreens=false) leaves vanilla door/internal cams alone and clones SingleScreen panels on the main monitor wall (Cube.001), flush via localBounds depth + WallInset.
3. Cycle button (bottom-right of each panel): grey bezel cylinder with a white face. Uses the vanilla hand cursor. Cycle order per panel:
   • Off → player0 body → player0 map → player1 body → player1 map → … → External → Off
4. Hover a panel: transparent cursor (no hand icon clutter). Tooltip shows the player name (and “Map” when on map feed). Tooltip is hidden for Off / External.
5. Click a panel: focuses the ship main radar / teleporter target on that panel’s assigned player (mapScreen.SwitchRadarTargetAndSync). The other crew panels keep their own players.
6. Optional world-space TMP nameplates under each monitor (ShowNameplates).
7. AlwaysShowMonitors=true keeps all panel meshes visible; empty / Off slots stay black rather than hiding the frame.

Building

dotnet build -c Release. Lethal Company, Unity and BepInEx assemblies come from NuGet reference packages (LethalCompany.GameLibs.Steam, BepInEx.Core, UnityEngine.Modules), so no game DLLs live in this repo. OpenBodyCams.dll (from Zaggy1024-OpenBodyCams) is not included either: the csproj expects it at refs/OpenBodyCams/OpenBodyCams.dll in the repository root (the ModRefsDir property). Put a copy there, pass -p:ModRefsDir=<folder>/ pointing at your r2modman/Gale profile's plugin folder, or change the HintPath.
