Stealthy Masks

Enables masks to be worn to hide from enemies by blending in with the Masked! Also adds a new type of mask, Drama, which is not haunted unlike its Tragedy and Comedy counterparts, allowing you to use this feature safely!

They can also be attached to players' faces, allowing you to look identical to Masked enemies and spook your friends! To balance this mechanic out, there is a stealth meter that is used while attempting to hide.

Compatibility

• LethalLevelLoader: If playing on v50+ and LLL is being used, ensure it is on 1.2.0 or higher to avoid conflicts with most mods; including this one.
• MaskedAiRevamp: Ignoring collision with Masked enemies will not work; it is recommended to use LethalIntelligence instead as this is a successor with more updates.

Works on v45-v50 until 2.0.0 and v50+ with 2.0.1+ with no other known incompatibilities; supports controller and LethalCompanyVR!

Formerly known as DramaMask

FAQ

Where can I find the Drama mask?

The Drama mask can be found as scrap with its spawn locations and rates matching that of the Comedy and Tragedy masks (detailed in the table below). This can be adjusted to match your preferences with the base spawn rate multiplier (applied on the default rates) and custom spawn config settings (for granular customisation per moon). Special values for this include [All, Vanilla, Modded] in line with what is provided by LethalLib, and all values are evaluated left to right (for overriding).

To also make it available in the store, check out @megapiggy's BuyableDramaMask mod.

What enemies are supported with hide from all enemies?

While the Masked are the main targets to hide from, proper support for other enemies has been added as of 1.4.0 (detailed in the table below). Some of these enemies can be considered to have their own agenda, so they have been classified as "Not Natural". Players will not be hidden from these enemies if the "Enemies Hidden From" config is set to "Natural". For example, Hoarding Bugs would not discriminate against a """Masked""" if they decide to start stealing from their nest.

Extra overrides for these can be specified using the "Enemy Hiding Overrides" config to enable or disable for specific enemies using their names in the code (exclusions prioritised).

Which modded enemies are supported? / How can I make my custom enemy support hiding?

The current method of hiding depends on references to StartOfRound.allPlayerScripts being patched to only include entries of visible (and pre-existing invalid) players, when the base methods for detecting players in EnemyAI are called. Vanilla enemies that make use of their own methods for player detection are additionally patched, so they may also be invoked by custom enemies. References to PlayerIsTargetable are also patched for calls made outside MeetsStandardPlayerCollisionConditions, if the "Increased Custom Enemy Compatibility" setting is enabled. Any storage or cross-referencing done with an index to allPlayerScripts (like in ButlerEnemyAI) should instead make use of playerClientId on the player, since the position in the array may be affected by this mod's patches.

Enemies can also be added to DramaMask.Config.EnemyTargetHandler.NaturalExceptions to stop them being hidden from if the "Enemies Hidden From" setting is "Natural".

Aside from this, explicit patches for custom enemies will not be provided by this mod.

Why can I not use items with a mask attached?

This is intentional behaviour and is currently integral to how the mod's mask attaching features work. Changing this could mean rewriting the entire codebase to accomodate this, so it is currently not supported. This is feasible though, and may be considered for an update in the distant future.

Roadmap (development to be paused)

• Sound and visuals support for VR in place of the stealth bar
• Allow the player to have their hands out like the Masked (unlikely without more help)
