IntroTweaks

A highly configurable solution to all of your intro/menu problems.

Installation

1. Install BepInEx v5 into your game.
2. Download IntroTweaks.dll and drop it into Lethal Company\BepInEx\plugins.

Features

• Seamlessly skips the boot and launch mode screens.
• Applies various fixes to the menu canvas and its panels.
• Aligns the main menu buttons with each other.
• Provides other useful options (startup display, auto select host, remove lan warning).
• Improves look of the version text and moves it to the bottom center.

Mod Incompatibilies

This mod will hide the original game version text, other mods should not be editing it directly - please take that up with them.

Unless disabled, IntroTweaks aligns the menu buttons by default which other mods may not respect if they implement their own buttons.

Mods known to break:

• LethalExpansion
• MoreCompany

v1.5.0

Hi :)

• Added fAutoStartGameDelay for configuring the delay before the lever is automatically pulled.
• Addressed compatibility with LLL by skipping boot animation less invasively.
• InitScene is now always loaded asynchronously regardless of having LLL.
• Removed "LLL detected" log warning.
• Removed redundent Metadata file.

v1.4.6

• Implemented new config option bAutoStartGame which will automatically pull the lever. You can find this in the Miscellaneous section.
• Addressed occasional (but harmless) errors being logged by editing the menu elements too early.
• Defaulted bAutoSelectMode to OFF so it's opt-in rather than opt-out.
• Improved compatibility with LethalLevelLoader by loading the scene asynchronously if found.

  This is the shittiest "solution" and should be addressed further by LLL.

v1.4.5

• Fixed issue where bAutoSelectHost would cause a black screen to be shown, softlocking the menu.
• Fixed issue where the MoreCompany cosmetics button could not be clicked when bFixMenuCanvas was false.
• Implemented new bFixMoreCompany config option to ease any further bugs with MoreCompany.
  • Defaults to true. Disable this if you do not care about the look of your main menu.

v1.4.4

• Minor changes to Thunderstore metadata.

v1.4.3

Deleting your config file is recommended!

• Fixed wrong version showing by replacing sVersionTextFormat with bAlwaysShortVersion.
• Improved consistency of button alignment by matching their sizeDelta with the host button.
• All config options now use ConfigEntry to enable runtime editing with things like ConfigurationManager.
• Version text is now updated in realtime when changing related config options.

  Essentially, you no longer need to restart. Use LethalConfig to instantly see your changes.

• Added new fVersionTextOffset option to adjust the Y (up/down) position of the version text.
  • You should use this option when the text appears out of place due to a multi-line or aspect ratio issue.

• Improved compatibility with AdvancedCompany by disabling the canvas fix regardless of bFixMenuCanvas.
  • This fixes the character being drawn as a black silhouette on the cosmetics page.

v1.4.2

• Fixed header/logo disappearing when navigating menus.
• Fixed the LethalConfig button being below the Quit button.
• Button alignment behaves better with other mod buttons, as well as when bRemoveCreditsButton is true.
• Some silly mod devs patch PlayFirstDayShipAnimation to implement their code, IT will no longer exit this early.
  • The speaker SFX is now stopped at the end of the firstDayAnimation enumerator instead.
• Removed some dead/commented code and unused ref being set.

v1.4.1

• Support v47 by fixing the settings issue. See this issue.
• Improved compatibility with future MoreCompany versions by detecting it's loaded rather than finding it's canvas.
• Removed CUSTOM_VERSION_TEXT_X and CUSTOM_VERSION_TEXT_Y. It was annoying to use and cluttered the config.
• Button alignment should now play nicely with other mods that don't have explicit support.
• Fixed splash screens not being skipped when mod loading takes >10s.
• Fixed all the null reference errors. (yay)

v1.4.0

New Features

• Skipped Unity and Zeekerss splash screens! (Configurable)
• Removed the main menu 'Credits' button. (Configurable)

Mod Compatibility

• Moved the MoreCompany header image upwards to avoid button overlapping.
• Moved MoreCompany activate & exit buttons both to the same position (bottom right) for intuitiveness.
• Improved compatibility with both LE and MC (the 3 config options from v1.3.1 are now all true).

Misc

• Buttons now get aligned without requiring bFixMenuCanvas to be true - including MC's "Mod Settings" button.
• Fixed issue where version text would stay hidden after exiting from a panel back to the menu.
• Removed unneeded reference to InputSystem.

v1.3.1

• Config now has categories.
• Added 3 new config options to help alleviate mod incompatibilities.
  • bAlignMenuButtons - Defaults to false.
  • bFixMenuCanvas - Defaults to false.
  • bFixMenuPanels - Defaults to true.

v1.3.0

Main Changes

• Centered all menu panels so the whitespace at the edges are equal. (OCD havers rejoice)
• Menu buttons are now aligned with each other and will overflow instead of wrap.
• All menu panels (host, server list, loading screen) now have the same scale, offsets and anchor.

  Essentially, this puts the "corners" in the same place across panels.

• Menu canvas now has the correct settings that a menu should have.
  • Pixel Perfect: true
  • Render Mode: Screen Space Overlay

  This means changing brightness no longer affects menu elements.

• Added new config option iGameStartupDisplay to control which monitor the game is displayed on when starting (after the splash screen).

  Any negative value will disable this setting. Defaults to 0 - the main display.

Fixes

• Fixed issue where setting sAutoSelectMode to OFF would cause the brightness and mic screens to show even after the first game boot.
• Fixed a null reference exception when trying to clone the version text.

Misc

• Removing UI elements now sets them to inactive. Destroying them is bad practice.
• Added try-catch blocks in multiple places to make future debugging easier.

v1.2.2

• The ship speaker 'first day' SFX can now be disabled via bDisableFirstDaySFX.
• Added config option sVersionTextFormat to display either the full game version or a shortened one.
• Added config option fVersionTextSize to control the font size of the version text.
• Fixed custom version text not showing - it was accidentally off by default (oops).

v1.2.1

• Added config option to toggle the version text. Credit - RectangularObject.
• BepInExPack now specified as a dependency.
• New VCR-style icon.

v1.2.0

General

• Launch skipping is now more seamless - the greenish "transition" panel has been disabled.
• Stopped panels overlapping when pressing the 'Host' button. (how other buttons work already)
• Added ability to remove the 'News' panel. Defaults to Off.
• Added ability to remove the 'Launched in LAN mode' text. Defaults to On.
• Added config option for removing the LAN warning. Defaults to On.
• Config option bAutoSelectHost is now Off by default.

Version Text

• Fixed version text being wrapped.
• Added config options (X, Y) to move the position of the version text.
• Setting the anchor position of version text is now done once instead of every frame.
• Version text now ONLY shows on the main menu. Not settings, credits etc.

v1.1.0

• Menu 'OS boot' animation is now skipped. You can revert this via the config.
• Replaced menu version text - able to be customized.
• Fixed LAN warning not being removed when AutoSelectHost was false.
• Changed mod name from 'LC-IntroTweaks' to 'IntroTweaks' in PluginMetadata.

v1.0.0

• Skips straight into the selected mode. (Online/LAN)
• Can automatically press the 'Host' button once in the menu.
• Removes the LAN warning - no need to hit 'Confirm' every time.
