ghostCodes v2.5.1

WARNING: This mod has been completely reworked as of version 2.5.0 and is still under development! Please report any issues on github or via the modding discord.

For client-side only use, disable ModNetworking in config (found in the "__NETWORKING" section)

Description

There's a ghost in the terminal and it's sending random broadcast codes to mess with the facility!

This mod aims to add a fun little random element to the game. A "ghost" is in the terminal and it is causing all kinds of mayhem.

[DISCLAIMER]

If you have SEVERE EPILEPSY you should do one of the following:
- disable the following configuration option by setting it to FALSE - [RapidLights]
  - This setting can be found in the ghostCodes.Setup config under the section "Effects/Sound"
- Raise both the following configuration options so that the lights flash slow enough not to affect your condition. - [RapidLightsMin] & [RapidLightsMax]
This mod will now delete old & obsolete configuration options, please make sure to adjust your config following any updates.
With the ModNetworking configuration option set to [TRUE], EVERYONE will need the mod. With the ModNetworking configuration option set to [FALSE], only the host needs this mod.
- If ModNetworking is set to [FALSE], any config settings that rely on networking will automatically be set to [FALSE]

The Different Modes

This Mod comes highly configurable with a variety of different modes available.

With the 2.5.0 rework came a simplification of the possible ghostcode configurations. There are now three clear modes to choose from:
- Intervals: GhostCodes will be sent to the terminal at intervals. These intervals can be set or random depending on your RandomIntervals setting.
- Insanity: GhostCodes will be sent to the terminal at intervals, with group insanity levels adjusting the frequency of these intervals.
- Hauntings: GhostCodes will be sent during hauntings from the ghost girl. When the ghost girl begins chasing a player the codes will fire rapidly.
Version 2.5.0 also replaced GGEBypass with a SecondaryMode option. Now if you'd like to have a set list of moons to run a different mode you will set the mode here.
- For different interaction chances/configurations enable the [UseSecondaryInteractionsConfig] config item.
In all modes except for hauntings, pulling the apparatus will now completely stop ghostcodes from continuing.

ghostCode Interactions

GhostCodes has a plethora of different possible interactions. Please see the ghostCodes.Interactions config to set these to your liking.
Some Examples of ghostcode interactions are below:
- Open or Close Blast Doors
- Cause Blast Doors to go haywire and close/shut multiple times
- Disable Turrets
- Cause Turrets to malfunction and go Berserk
- Disable Mines
- Cause Mines to suddenly combust
- Short Circuit the breaker and cut out the facility's lights
- Broadcast random signal translator messages
- Open/Close/Lock/Unlock Regular Doors within the facility
- Haunted Doors
- Mess with the doors on the ship
- Mess with the lights on the ship
- Activate either of the teleporters
- Disable Turrets on Toilheads (Toilhead mod required)
- Make Turrets on Toilheads go berserk (Toilhead mod required)
- Adjust all players, a random player, or the currently haunted player's items' batteries (NETWORKING REQUIRED)
- Mess with the monitors on the ship (NETWORKING REQUIRED)
- Shock terminal users out of the terminal (NETWORKING REQUIRED)
- Ghost girl breathe on walkies (NETWORKING REQUIRED)
- Garble all walkie talkies (NETWORKING REQUIRED)
- Cruiser Interactions added in v66

Fight against the hauntings (CounterPlay)

You can combat against ghost codes by doing the following:
- Reboot the Terminal (takes anywhere between 30 and 90 seconds)
  - Done by typing "reboot" in the terminal, this will make the terminal unusable for the duration of the reboot.
  - Following a successful reboot, the ghostcodes will go away for a little while.
  - Available in all modes. (NETWORKING REQUIRED)
- Transfer Hauntings to another player. (Death Note)
  - Only available in the Hauntings mode.
  - If you are currently being haunted, you can type another player's name in the terminal to tell the ghost girl to haunt them instead.
  - For each failed attempt an entry in your death note is removed, and you only have so many entries [DeathNoteMaxStrikes]
  - Also every failed attempt will have the ghost girl start chasing you.
- Emoting
  - In the Hauntings mode, this will get the ghost girl to stop chasing you.
    - This is a group activity and amount of players required is based on [EmoteStopChaseRequiredPlayers]
  - In Insanity Mode, each player emoting will lower group sanity levels by value determined in [EmoteBuff]
- Take a shower
  - Only effective in the Hauntings Mode.
  - Wash the ghost girl mark off to stop her from chasing you.
  - Will not stop her from continuing to haunt you after your shower.

Other things this mod does (Misc)

When a ghost girl starts a chase, she can trigger flipping the breaker.
- This looks to have been an idea that was scrapped from the main game that I am patching back in.
- Use [FixGhostGirlBreakers] to enable and [VanillaBreakersChance] for the odds it'll happen.

Config Helpers (NEW in 2.5.0)

Utilizing OpenLib's config to webpage feature, you can now generate a web page for your config item to modify it to your liking.
- In the future I will host an example page if you'd rather use this than run a local webpage on your computer.
For steps on how to utilize this feature, please see my guide created for LethalConstellations here

Remember: The ghost doesn't really care if it's helping or not it's just sending codes to be noticed. The more you notice it the more it likes to say hello. Have fun! :)

And one final reminder that this rework is still in progress with more features planned. Please treat 2.5.0 as an alpha version for your testing enjoyment!

ghostCodes Change Log

[2.5.2]

Updated death note to use a menu system for fairness between player names.
- To open the death note menu type leave me alone in the terminal while you are haunted.
- Use arrow keys to navigate the menu and enter to select the player you wish to send the ghost girl to.
Added handling for some of the more common errors that have been reported, such as:
- out of index sounds
- out of index default terminal action
Updated lighting during rapid fire event to smoothly transition to your new color of choice.
- also updated this to use all lights within the interior (dungeon) when powered lights could not be found
- There is still issues with some modded interiors not having their animators set up as they are with vanilla interiors. Still determining how I will fix this.
Light flicker event now uses only two networked Rpcs (start/stop), the rest of the event is handled client side between each client.
- This should hopefully improve performance by offloading the event off the network.
- In the event that the player who called the start rpc can not call the stop rpc, the event should stop for everyone else.
Added NoTouchItems config item for the haunted scrap interactions.
- This should allow you to filter out items that throw an error in logs when they are activated by a player not currently holding them.
- I'd still like reports of which items cause this error so I might be able to find another way to fix this in the future.

[2.5.1]

Fixed SignalTranslator messages only being sent for specific interactions instead of being sent as it's own interaction.
Adjusted TerminalAccessibleObject filtering logic to address rare null ref errors
- Per recommendation from Zaggy, the list this mod generates is now adjusted via game patches to TerminalAccessibleObject Start and OnDestroy
Adjusted MineBoom & TurretBerserk logic to generate a random number from all turrets or mines rather than all terminalaccessibleobjects.
- This may make the turretberserk/mineboom chances feel higher than they were before.
- On the flip side, this may make the blast door chances feel like they dropped (as previously if the turret or mine action was called on a non turret/mine object it would just call the code on the object which was usually a door)
Fixed/Adjusted ToilHead Compatibility

[2.5.0]

Mod completely reworked and built to be used with OpenLib.
Compiled with new custom sounds for the terminal, ghost girl, etc.
New interactions added for the cruiser, haunted doors, ship, etc.
New mode system to handle having a secondary mode for specific moons
- Secondary interactions config added for secondary mode when user requests this config.
Config has been split into multiple configs, each one is added in-game via LethalConfig.
While this mod is in an alpha state, setting extensive logging config item to true by default.
- Feel free to disable this but understand that it will be more difficult for me to troubleshoot any issues you encounter.
For a more in-depth changelog, please see the diffs on github.

Historical Patch Notes

[2.0.6]

Recompiled for use with V55 Game Update.
Updated project to utilize plugin version number wherever possible, including compiling the assembly with the version number.
- Now when I update the version number in one spot, it'll update it everywhere (except the changelog, keeping that manual)

[2.0.5]

Hotfix for issue discovered with reboot command causing base-game player teleport function not to work.
- Small tweak was made for how the terminal is locked out from other players.

[2.0.4]

Removed [rapidFireCooldown] config option and adjusted [rapidFireMaxHours] to be configured to include the entire day if no cooldown is wanted.
Added check to make sure commands are only created for actual players for the deathNote feature.
Fixed various issues where the config options were not actually being implemented in the mod's code, thank you @Mi6k on discord for taking a deep look at the config.
- Completed a complete config cleanup to make sure no further items are being missed.
- Changed how configuration items are created with helper methods to make things easier going forward (for me).
Added cooldown check to ToilHead interactions, thanks Zehs for adding the public variables
Switched insanity mode buffs/debuffs to be percentage based configuration options instead of direct numbers.
- This is to make creating the config a bit more intuitive, as not everyone knows the max possible sanity values and how it all works.
Adjusted logic detemrining if codes should/can continue to be a bit more straight forward following reports that somehow codes were running in orbit.
Added new config item [modifiedConfigItemsList] to hold any config items that were modified by gcGhostGirlOnly.
- DO NOT MODIFY [modifiedConfigItemsList], this config item will be populated on it's own and emptied if no items need to be returned to their initial state.
Added new section for walkie talkie interactions [Walkies]
- new interaction [ggBreatheOnWalkies] will play the ghost girl breathing sound effect over all walkie talkies
- [ggBreatheOnWalkies] is based on chance value [ggBreatheOnWalkiesChance]
Added new section for Item interactions [Item]
- currently all config options in this section are related to any item with a battery
- Drain all players, a random one, or the haunted one's items of battery by a configured percentage [gcBatteryDrainPercentage]
Added config options to enable/disable entire sections: Items, Walkies, Ship Stuff, and Regular Doors.
Added error handling for rare scenario where everything in the config is disabled and no possible actions can be chosen to run as a ghost code.
Updated README with new stuff.

[2.0.3]

Reworked ghost girl enhanced handling patches to address some null reference errors that were breaking the mod in certain profiles (thank you Lunxara)
- Removed DressGirl AI Update patch and ended ghostgirlenhanced coroutine when the girl is not staring in a haunt.
- Removed BeginChasing prefix, it looked to have been interfering with other mods that adjust the AI.
  - Vanilla breaker fix is now done via a postfix. This means the lights will always flicker briefly before they completely go out (depending on the odds if they do of course).
- Coroutines will now run when the ghostgirl calls different interactions
  - The regular ghost girl enhanced coroutine is called when the girl is staring in haunt.
  - The rapidFire codes will be called when the girl is actively chasing (this is unchanged).
- ghost codes will now be initialized directly after the blast door codes have been generated,
  - This is much sooner than before, so please adjust your interval configs accordingly.

[2.0.2]

Fixed incorrect configuration information related to gcGhostGirlOnly & gcGhostGirlOnlyList
- Also fixed some issues discovered with handling leading spaces.
- Updated default configuration option to remove spaces after commas anyway.
- Reworded some other config options for, hopefully, some better clarity.
Added new config section for any compatible mods that have added functionality to ghostCodes.
- Called "External Mod Stuff", this will be where you can find config options relating to various compatible mods.
- The first mod for this section is ToilHeads, which slaps a turret on top of SOME of the coilheads.
- Like a regular turret, ghostCodes can either disable the turret on their head or make the turret go berserk.
- Each action has configurable odds and can be completely disabled.
- Currently both ToilHeads and Facility Meltdown have direct compatibility written into this mod.
Added the ability for ghostCodes to mess with the teleporters.
- Find the config options for these interactions in "Ship Stuff"
- Came with one new patch to grab teleporter instances when they spawn.
Updated handling from previous hotfix so that ghostly responses will change on loading a new node again.
- Added some better error-handling cases so that this wont error out like in 2.0.0
- Also added a check when terminal first spawns to grab the default text colors, rather than assuming it is green.
  - Want to add support for mods that change the text color at some point, as i'm not sure they will have change it this early on.

[2.0.1]

Hotfix to address compatibility issues with Terminal patch and other mods.
- Thanks to SourceShard of the modding discord for the quick report!
- Ghostly responses on the terminal will now always return to regular green terminal text color after 3 seconds.
  - May change this in the future with an alternative solution.

[2.0.0]

Mod has been completely reworked for better performance and more readability between modes.
Readme updated for more clarity on different modes and configuration options.
Updated configuration file sections for clarity.
Added RemoveOrphanedEntries method by Kittenji to remove old unused configuration options.
Added new methods to fight back against ghost codes
- Terminal reboot
- Group Emotes
Added new insanity handling methods including buffs/bonuses
- Buffs (insanity value decreases) include: soloAssist and emoteBuff
- Bonuses (insanity value increases) include: deathBonus and ggBonus
Added ways to fight back against ghost girl hauntings (and their associated ghost codes)
- ggShowerCheck: Take a shower to stop getting chased and delay codes/hauntings.
  - ggShowerStopChasingChance: Percentage chance
- ggDeathNote: Transfer your haunting to another player by typing their name in the terminal.
  - ggDeathNoteChance: Percentage chance typing another player's name in the terminal will get the ghost girl to haunt them.
  - ggDeathNoteMaxStrikes: Maxmium amount of times you can type another player's name in the terminal.
- ggEmoteCheck: When [ggEmoteStopChasePlayers] amount of players are emoting, stop a ghost girl from chasing you.
  - ggEmoteStopChasingChance: Percentage chance having the right amount of players emoting will actually stop her from chasing you.
Added new max rapidfire duration configuration items.
- rapidFireCooldown: enable or disable max rapidfire duration.
- rapidFireMaxHours: hours until cooldown from rapidfire, minium is 1 hour.
Added compatibility with facilityMeldtown and it's meltdown event.
- rapidFire lights will be disabled during the meltdown event.
Added new configuration option for changing the color of the lights during rapidFire
- rfRLcolorChange: enable or disable changing the color of the lights during rapidFire.
- rfRLcolorValue: The color to change the lights to during rapid fire event.
Added the ability for ghost codes to mess with regular doors inside the facility, including locking them.
- See "Regular Doors" section of the config.
Added the ability for ghost codes to mess with stuff inside the ship including lights, doors, monitors, and the terminal itself.
- See "Ship Stuff" section of the config.
Added the ability for ghost codes not to use any of the typical terminal object codes that affect blast doors, mines, and turrets.
- This should allow the plugin to function if none of these objects exist or you have set the config to ignore them all.
- This also fixes a minor bug from the previous version that would ALWAYS pick one of the 3 objects to run during a ghost code event.
Updated code handling to handle up to 3 actions at once.
- I may make this configurable in the future.
- This does not mean 3 actions will always happen each code, it is dependendent on the set configurations.
- If all interactions are set to high chances, 3 actions will happen more often than not.
- if all interactions are set to low chances, 3 actions happening at once will be more rare.
Added extensiveLogging configuration to move most debugging log info to a hidden log source that will only be enabled if you want it.
Many more changes in the code itself, hard to remember every single thing as this rework took some time.

[Planned Features (not currently in this version)]

Custom sounds to play over the terminal to replace current sounds.
Have tell sounds from the terminal also play over the walkie

[1.5.1]

Added a configuration option to bypass GGE if a moon does not have the possibility for a ghost girl spawning.
Added configuration option to modify the moons list for when GGE will be bypassed for the other modes.
Changed signal translator messages sent by ghostGirl and added a common handling method for this action.
Added configuration option for custom messages to be sent by the ghost girl over the signal translator.
Added a extra null reference handling for the nethandler to deal with an error that occurs on lobby restart.

[1.5.0]

Reworked code for mod to be more modular to add new mode focused entirely on ghostGirl interactions.
Fixed cases where the ship landed at places without interactable objects like the company building. (you've likely seen/heard this).
Above is fixed by checking for levels that are marked as safe or the level name is specifically ?"CompanyBuildingLevel"
Fixed other rare cases where codes tried to continue running after the ship had left.
Added Solo Assist for solo players who play with Insanity Mode.
BETA: Ghost Girl Enhanced Mode (enabled by default) will send codes ONLY when a ghost girl has spawned on the level and is actively hunting someone.
Ghost Girl Enhanced Mode is IN BETA, please report any bugs on discord or github.
Added Optional Networking as part of the above mode and some other various functions that require networking. With networking on, EVERYONE will need the mod. Without, only the host needs this mod.
Added spooky lights flickering (networking required) during rapidFire codes event.
Added the ability for mines to blow up when called by a ghostCode.
Added the ability for doors to get hungry and start chomping when called by a ghostCode (hungrydoors).
Added the ability for a ghostCode to flip the breaker and cut all facility lights.
All of the above new functions from ghostCodes have configurable percentage chances. The higher the chance of these, the less likely a normal code is sent.
There are also configuration options for the chances these actions happen during rapidFire, if they can be called.
Added configuration for rapidFire lights flickering to disable them for those of you who have epilepsy or find flashing lights annoying more than anything else.
Added configuration for customizing how rapid the lights flicker during rapidFire mode.
Added configuration options for SoloAssist mode to adjust how much insanity this buff removes at different periods of the day. (this only affects insanity for this mod)
If Solo Assist buff removes more insanity than you presently have, it will set the insanity level to 0. (this only affects insanity for this mod)
Added a fix for what I believe was a typo from Zeekers and the ghost girl now has the chance of setting the entire facility's lights off.
The above fix can be configured on/off depending on your preference, i've also modified it to be less likely than Zeekers had it in their code by default.
Chances of ghost girl setting the facility's lights off is configurable as well.
Added code broadcast effect to terminal (networking required) when ghostCodes are used.
Terminal will now play different sounds whenever a ghostCode is sent. (only plays the alarm sound without networking)
When a ghost girl enemy exists, terminal will play random sounds of her's when a ghostCode is sent.
If you have a Signal Translator, certain ghost codes will send a signal translator message with their action.

[1.1.1]

Fixed rare cases where the codes still kept going after the ship had left.
Fixed the number of codes not being reset going into the next round.
Added minimum codes to send per round configuration option
Added filter option for each interactable object (door, landmine, & turret).
Added Insanity Mode which decreases time between ghostCodes as the group's total insanity levels goes up.
Added Turret Berserk Mode as another possible interaction when the ghostCode targets a turret object.
Added configuration options for the chances of turrets going berserk in both Normal ghostCodes & Max Insanity mode.
