BlueSage QoL Tweaks - Beta

Active-development QoL toolkit for On-Together: Virtual Co-Working. Expect small bugs, config changes, and re-uploads while BlueSage keeps tuning it.

Current package: v0.0.4.

This is for players and hosts. It is not the big-lobby mod; for larger lobbies, use BlueSagePatched PlayerLimitLift on the host.

If AndrewLin Sweep is loaded, BlueSage auto sweep backs off automatically so players do not have to pick a sweeper by hand.

ELI5 Quick Start

Install this if you want a small bundle of comfort fixes for On-Together without needing five separate helper mods.

If you are a normal player, you can install it and mostly forget it.
If someone mentions you with @YourName, the message can highlight and play a small local ping sound.
If you like colored names/status text, use /styleui for an in-game helper window. Pick colors, type your text, then click Apply To Name or Copy.
If you are a host, /hh run gives a quiet host-health diagnostic without spamming scary recreate-lobby warnings.
If you use a large lobby, this does not replace PlayerLimitLift. Use the BlueSagePatched PlayerLimitLift mod on the host for that.

What It Does

Feature	Default / safety	Command	Config	Why / notes
Asset Sweep	On every 60 min	`/assetsweep` or `/as` `on/off/status/now`	`EnableAutoSweep`, `SweepIntervalMinutes`	Helps long sessions reclaim unused Unity assets. Use `/as now` if the game feels heavy. Interval safe range: 30-180 min. Auto-disables if AndrewLin Sweep is loaded.
Host Health	Off by default, host-only, manual or opt-in	`/hosthealth` or `/hh` `on/off/status/run`	`EnableHostHealthMonitor`	Hosts can use `/hh run` before inviting more people into an old room. It no longer warns only because a lobby is old, and it does not tell players to recreate a lobby without join-failure evidence. If BlueSage PlayerLimitLift is loaded, Host Health also reports the current cap/default/chat-relay state.
ChatLimitRemover	Always on, 750 chars	None	None	Raises the confirmed vanilla 250-character chat send cap so invisible TMP color/style/font tags have room without exposing risky packet/RPC knobs.
Longer Text Fields	Always on, 750 chars	None	None	Gives more room for names, IDs, and room text that use invisible TMP color/style/font tags. Limits are locked to safe defaults.
Style Helper	On-demand UI/copy/apply	`/styleui` or `/sui`; `/style` or `/sty` `color/bold/italic/gradient/gradient3/status`	`EnableStyleUi`	Opens an in-game color/style helper. Use Apply To Name to set your display name, or Copy to paste styled text into an ID card, room name, status, or chat field. It uses safe in-game player data updates and never writes profile files directly.
Status Helper	On-demand	`/setname`, `/status`, `/clearstatus`, `/statuscolor`	`StatusBaseName`, `StatusMessage`, `StatusColor`, `StatusBrackets`	Updates your in-game display name/status from chat commands, inspired by StatusManager, without editing save files directly.
Ping Mentions	On	Type `@name`, press Tab to complete; `/setpingcolor`; `/pingsound` `on/off/status`	`EnablePingMentions`, `EnablePingSound`, `PingHighlightColor`, `PingMentionColor`	Highlights messages that mention you, highlights the `@mention` text, and plays a local UI ping sound by default. Sound and highlight color are safe local settings.
Leave Notices	On	`/leavenotices` or `/ln` `on/off/status`	`EnableLeaveNotifications`	Local notice when someone leaves. Turn off if another mod already shows leave messages.
Timestamps	Off	`/timestamps` or `/tt` `on/off/status`	`EnableChatTimestamps`, `EnableNotificationTimestamps`	Optional local timestamps for chat plus join/leave/system notices. Off by default to keep chat clean.
Reconnect Guard	On for players	`/reconnectguard` or `/rg` `on/off/status`	`EnableReconnectGuard`	Slower guarded reconnects after accidental disconnects. Hosts can turn it off. Retry timing, max attempts, visible-lobby checks, and host-kick safety are locked.
Reconnect Message	On	`/reconnectmessage` or `/rm` `on/off/status`	`EnableReconnectAnnouncement`	Sends `Auto Reconnected by BlueSage QoL Tweaks - Thank you Blue <3` after BlueSage reconnects you. Message and 3s delay are locked.
Focus Anywhere	On	`/focusanywhere` or `/fa` `on/off/status`	`EnableFocusAnywhere`	Lets focus mode work from most places instead of only vanilla focus spots. Turn off if the game behaves oddly near special areas.
Enhanced Player Panel	On	None	`EnableEnhancedPlayerPanel`	Adds upstream-compatible `Button_Ping` and `Button_IdCard` helper buttons to player rows when the panel loads. Skips safely if old EnhancedPlayerPanel buttons or earlier BlueSage buttons are already present, and logs instead of interrupting native UI.
Status	Local only	`/bsqol status`, `/qol status`	None	Quick check of current BlueSage QoL states.

Using a toggle command without on or off flips the current setting. ./as style also works, but normal /as slash-command style is recommended.

Settings

Launch once, then edit:

BepInEx/config/com.bluesage.ontogether.qoltweaks.beta.cfg

User-facing settings are intentionally limited:

Setting	Default	Notes
`EnableAutoSweep`	`true`	On/off only. Auto-backs off when AndrewLin Sweep is loaded.
`SweepIntervalMinutes`	`60`	Safe range: 30-180.
`EnableHostHealthMonitor`	`false`	On/off only. Leave off unless you want automatic host checks; `/hh run` still works on demand.
`EnableLeaveNotifications`	`true`	On/off only.
`EnableChatTimestamps`	`false`	On/off only.
`EnableNotificationTimestamps`	`false`	On/off only. `/tt` keeps this in sync with chat timestamps.
`EnableReconnectGuard`	`true`	On/off only.
`EnableReconnectAnnouncement`	`true`	On/off only.
`EnableFocusAnywhere`	`true`	On/off only.
`EnableEnhancedPlayerPanel`	`true`	On/off only.
`EnablePingMentions`	`true`	On/off only. Highlights local mentions.
`EnablePingSound`	`true`	On/off only. Local UI ping for mentions.
`PingHighlightColor`	`9B59B6`	Six-character hex background mark for messages that mention you.
`PingMentionColor`	`FFD700`	Six-character hex color for `@mention` text.
`EnableStyleUi`	`true`	On/off only. Enables the in-game `/styleui` helper window.
`StatusColor`	`FFD45D`	Six-character hex color for `/status`; keep readable.
`StatusBrackets`	`()`	Two visible wrapper characters around `/status` text.

Old config files may still contain removed settings from earlier test builds. BlueSage ignores the risky ones now, and it syncs notification timestamps to the /tt chat timestamp setting on startup. If anything acts odd after updating, delete the config and launch once to regenerate it.

Compatibility

BlueSage only checks mods BepInEx actually loaded. Disabled .old, .bak, .disabled, or .dll.disabled files are ignored.
If BlueSage PlayerLimitLift is loaded, Host Health reads it as an optional companion and includes its cap/default/chat-relay state in host diagnostics.
If AndrewLin Sweep is loaded, BlueSage auto sweep backs off automatically to avoid double cleanup. The rest of BlueSage QoL still works.
If Simple_QOL or ChatTweaks-style mods are loaded, BlueSage disables its own timestamps and leave notices by default to avoid duplicate chat formatting.
If AndrewLin Reconnect is loaded too, BlueSage uses guarded reconnect timing so two reconnect loops do not rapid-fire together.
BlueSage does not delete, rename, edit, or disable another creator's mod files.

Install

Install with a mod manager, or place the DLL here:

BepInEx/plugins/BlueSage_QoL_Tweaks_Beta/BlueSage_QoL_Tweaks_Beta.dll

Common Commands

/qol status - Shows what BlueSage QoL features are on.
/styleui - Opens the in-game text styling helper. Type your name, pick colors, then click Apply To Name or Copy.
/style color FF66CC hello - Copies colored text to your clipboard.
/setpingcolor FF66CC - Changes the local mention highlight color.
/pingsound off - Turns off local mention ping sounds.
/hh run - Runs a quiet host-health check on demand.

If Something Feels Weird

Use /qol status first.
Turn off the specific feature instead of removing the whole mod if possible.
For noisy host-health messages, make sure you are on this newer build; the old age-based warning was removed.
For player-panel button issues, close and reopen the player panel after joining. If it still fails, the BepInEx log should include a safe BlueSage warning instead of a broken UI.
For style text, keep names short if using gradients. Per-letter colors use more hidden characters than one solid color.
