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: v0.0.6.

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. Type your name, pick Color A/B/C, tap swatches, save templates, use Reset Current if you get lost, then click Apply Name or Copy Text.
If you do not want to remember commands, use /qolmenu for toggles, safe settings, text-limit warnings, hover hints/tooltips, and beta notes in one window.
Both /styleui and /qolmenu include a Discord button in the header so you can hop into Blue's On-Together community server.
The /qolmenu Credits / Other tab includes credits, a safe asset-purge button, and tiny local-only easter eggs. They track only an install-local found count and do not send chat or network messages. Players can screenshot/share finds in Blue's Discord for fun.
If you want help identifying minimap dots, try /minimaplabels on. It can show names when readable and lets you click minimap dots to open ID cards when BlueSage can safely match the dot to player-panel data. In crowded lobbies, labels may intentionally hide until you zoom in so the map stays readable.
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.
QoL Menu	On-demand	`/qolmenu` or `/qm`	None	Opens one friendly in-game menu for common toggles including MiniMap Labels beta, sweep/host-health buttons, ping/status colors, Credits / Other, text-limit warnings, and hover hints/tooltips. Use this first if slash commands feel annoying.
ChatLimitRemover	Always on, default 1500 chars	`/qolmenu` Customize tab	`MaxChatCharacters`	Raises the confirmed vanilla 250-character chat send cap so invisible TMP color/style/font tags have room without exposing risky packet/RPC knobs. Default is 1500; power users can raise up to 4000 with instability/readability warnings.
Longer Text Fields	Always on, default 1500 chars	`/qolmenu` Customize tab	`MaxProfileCharacters`, `MaxSessionNameCharacters`	Gives more room for names, IDs, and room text that use invisible TMP color/style/font tags. Default is 1500; raising up to 4000 is optional and may clip, wrap, or behave oddly in some game UI.
Style Helper	On-demand UI/copy/apply	`/styleui` or `/sui`; `/style` or `/sty` `color/bold/italic/gradient/gradient3/status`	`EnableStyleUi`	Opens a native-feeling in-game color/style helper with tabs, bigger readable controls, labeled color swatches, a close button, Discord button, five local templates, Reset Current, Apply Name (direct name apply), Copy Text, and status controls. 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; hosts can type `@lobby`; `/setpingcolor`; `/pingsound` `click/change/error/task/ticket/on/off/status`	`EnablePingMentions`, `EnablePingSound`, `PingSoundMode`, `PingHighlightColor`, `PingMentionColor`	Highlights messages that mention you, turns completed `@name` text ping-yellow by default, adds a visible `[PING]` marker to pinged messages, supports `@lobby` for anyone running a compatible ping mod, and plays a local UI ping sound. Sound mode 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 are already present, but refreshes its own recycled-row button listeners so scrolling past 16 players should not keep stale ID-card or ping targets. BlueSage buttons are placed left of the native button group so report/ban stays clickable and Pomodoro/PomoSync row space is not covered. The ID-card button now tries row-index, SteamID, reflected row fields, and ID-info fallbacks with 16+ player diagnostics instead of relying only on the old vanilla-sized SteamID index path.
MiniMap Labels / ID Click	Off by default beta	`/minimaplabels` or `/mml` `on/off/status`	`EnableMiniMapPlayerLabels`	Adds local minimap identification help using the live `MapManager` player-icon list and player-panel ID info. The reliable beta feature is clicking minimap dots to open ID cards when the dot index resolves safely. Small name labels can show when readable, but crowded-lobby labels intentionally hide unless the map is zoomed enough. Off by default until larger-lobby label readability is proven.
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.
`PingSoundMode`	`click`	Local sound choice for mentions: `click`, `change`, `error`, `task`, or `ticket`.
`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.
`EnableMiniMapPlayerLabels`	`false`	On/off only. Beta local labels above minimap player dots.
`MaxChatCharacters`	`1500`	Default/recommended is 1500. Can be raised up to 4000 for power users, but longer chat may wrap, clip, or behave oddly.
`MaxProfileCharacters`	`1500`	Default/recommended is 1500 for names, ID cards, and styled profile text. Can be raised up to 4000 with the same UI-stability warning.
`MaxSessionNameCharacters`	`1500`	Default/recommended is 1500 for room names. Can be raised up to 4000, but long room names may be visually messy.
`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.
/qolmenu - Opens the friendly menu for toggles, safe settings, power-user text limits, and beta notes.
/styleui - Opens the in-game text styling helper. Type your name, pick swatches, save/load templates, then click Apply Name or Copy Text.
/minimaplabels on - Enables minimap identification beta. It can show local player-name labels when readable and lets you click minimap dots to open ID cards when the index resolves safely. Use /mml off if it feels cluttered or labels look wrong in a large lobby.
/style color FF66CC hello - Copies colored text to your clipboard.
/setpingcolor FF66CC - Changes the local mention highlight color.
/pingsound task - Changes local mention ping sound. Options: click, change, error, task, ticket, on, off, status.
@lobby - Host/community shorthand similar to Discord @everyone; it only pings people running a compatible mention feature like this mod.
/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.
If BlueSage hidden diagnostics are enabled for testing, player-panel diagnostics include row counts, Pomo/Pomodoro surface detection, button counts, and ID-card resolver source so 16+ lobby reports are easier to debug.
For style text, the mod defaults chat, names, ID cards, and room text to 1500 characters. You can raise limits in /qolmenu, but long text may wrap badly, clip, or break differently after game updates. Per-letter colors use more hidden characters than one solid color.
MiniMap Labels / ID Click is included as a default-off beta. If names do not line up in a large lobby or the map looks crowded, turn it back off; BlueSage also hides crowded-lobby labels unless the map is zoomed enough and logs safe warnings instead of guessing.
The Credits / Other tab has a safe asset-purge button and harmless local-only easter eggs. They use PlayerPrefs for a found count only; they do not post to chat, send RPCs, or edit profile files. If you find one, screenshot it and share it in Blue's Discord for bragging rights.
Host/lobby mod-menu remains a future companion-toolkit idea. It is not part of this QoL upload yet, so this release can stay focused on safe player-facing fixes.
