BlueSage QoL Tweaks - Beta
Active-development QoL toolkit for On-Together: Virtual Co-Working.
Current package: v0.0.9
This is for players and hosts who want friendly quality-of-life helpers in one mod. It is not the big-lobby mod. For 64-player rooms, the host still needs BlueSagePatched PlayerLimitLift.
Beta note: this mod is moving quickly while players test it. If an update feels weird, open /qolmenu and turn off the feature that is bothering you, then let Blue know what happened.

Quick Start
Install it, launch the game, then try these:
- Press
Home or type /qolmenu to open the friendly settings menu.
- Use
/styleui for name colors, status text, themes, and copyable styled text.
- Type
@name in chat to get mention suggestions, then press Tab or click a suggestion.
- Click a chat message to copy only the message text. Hold
Shift while clicking a safe web link to open it.
- Click minimap dots to open ID cards when BlueSage can safely match the player.
- Hold
Shift to run or Ctrl to slow-walk with BetterMove.
- Use
/as now if a long session feels heavy.
- Hosts can use
/hh run for a quiet lobby-health check.
What It Adds
Chat, Names, And Rooms
- Chat send cap is raised from vanilla
250 to 1500 characters.
- Name, ID-card, and room-name fields default to
1500 characters.
- Power users can raise those up to
4000 in /qolmenu, but very long text can still wrap or look odd in some game UI.
Ping Mentions
- Type
@partialname to show a small suggestion popup.
- Pinged messages get a visible
[PING] marker.
@lobby can ping everyone running a compatible mention mod like this one.- Sound is on by default. Sound modes:
click, change, error, task, ticket.
Helpful commands:
/setpingcolor FF66CC/pingsound task/pingsound off
Style Helper
/styleui opens a friendly window for:
- name styling, status tags like
(Reading), and reusable name templates;
- color buttons so players do not need to hunt hex codes;
Reset Current, Apply Name, and Copy Text;- themes that also apply to the QoL Menu and autocomplete popup.
It uses safe in-game player data updates and never writes profile files directly.
QoL Menu
Open it with Home, /qolmenu, or /qm.
Tabs:
- Main: quick Sweep, Host Health, and Style UI buttons.
- Toggles: on/off controls for the major features.
- Customize: ping colors, ping sound, status fields, sweep interval, and text limits.
- Credits / Other: themes, credits, safe asset purge, and one compact mostly local-only DO NOT PRESS gag. The older experimental secret buttons were retired in
0.0.8.
The remaining gag never edits files or profiles. After one tiny lobby joke, it only shows local messages. Players can screenshot/share finds in Blue's Discord for fun.
Feature Notes
Enhanced Player Panel
- Adds local
@ and ID helper buttons to player rows.
- Buttons stay left of the native/Pomodoro/PomoSync action area so report, ignore, kick, and ban controls stay reachable.
- ID-card lookup handles larger lobbies better than the old vanilla 16-player assumptions.
- If another EnhancedPlayerPanel-style mod is already loaded, BlueSage skips safely.
- BlueSage refreshes its own recycled-row button listeners, keeps report/ban stays clickable, and avoids covering Pomodoro/PomoSync row space.
MiniMap ID Click
- MiniMap dot-to-ID help is on by default.
- Click a minimap player dot to open an ID card when the dot can be safely matched.
- Floating minimap name labels are removed. Community testing showed they could cause FPS/CPU lag in large lobbies.
- Toggle dot-to-ID clicks with
/minimaplabels or /mml.
Click-To-Copy Chat
- Click a chat message to copy only the message text.
- It does not copy the sender name, timestamp, or styled status.
- Hold
Shift while clicking a safe http or https link to open it.
- Toggle with
/copychat or /ccopy.
- Toggle link-opening with
/chatlinks or /clinks.
- If the old CopyChat mod is loaded, BlueSage backs off to avoid duplicate click handlers.
Chat Readability
- Adds local outline and shadow to chat text so messages stay readable on bright backgrounds.
- Toggle with
/chatreadability or /chatread.
- This does not rewrite chat messages and does not change what other players see.
BetterMove
- On by default.
- Hold
Shift to run.
- Hold
Ctrl to slow-walk with a cozy popsicle-style animation.
- Local-player only; it does not add custom network packets or require other players to install anything.
- Toggle with
/bettermove or /bm.
Reconnect Guard
- On for players by default.
- Tries up to
20 times about every 15 seconds.
- Then returns toward the normal menu/error flow instead of leaving players stuck forever.
- Hosts can turn it off with
/rg off.
Asset Sweep
- Runs every
60 minutes by default.
- Helps long sessions reclaim unused Unity assets.
- If AndrewLin Sweep is loaded, BlueSage auto sweep backs off automatically.
- Interval safe range: 30-180 min.
- Manual
/as now still respects safety guards.
Leave Notices And Focus Anywhere
- Leave notices are on by default.
- Focus Anywhere is on by default.
- Timestamps are off by default to keep chat cleaner.
Common Commands
/qol status or /bsqol status: show current BlueSage states.Home, /qolmenu, or /qm: open the QoL menu./styleui or /sui: open the Style Helper./style or /sty: build styled text from chat commands./setname, /status, /clearstatus, /statuscolor: set your display name/status without editing save files directly./brb or /afk: quick status shortcuts./assetsweep or /as on/off/status/now: asset sweep controls./hosthealth or /hh on/off/status/run: host-health controls./leavenotices or /ln on/off/status: leave notice toggle./timestamps or /tt on/off/status: chat and notice timestamps./chatreadability or /chatread on/off/status: local chat text outline/shadow./bettermove or /bm on/off/status: Shift run and Ctrl slow-walk./reconnectguard or /rg on/off/status: reconnect guard toggle./reconnectmessage or /rm on/off/status: reconnect success message toggle./focusanywhere or /fa on/off/status: focus-anywhere toggle./minimaplabels or /mml on/off/status: minimap dot-to-ID-card helper. No floating labels./copychat or /ccopy on/off/status: click-to-copy chat messages./chatlinks or /clinks on/off/status: safe click-to-open chat links.
Using a toggle command without on or off flips the current setting. Timestamps apply to chat plus join/leave/system notices when enabled.
Settings
After launching once, settings live here:
BepInEx/config/com.bluesage.ontogether.qoltweaks.beta.cfg
Most players should use Home or /qolmenu instead of editing the file directly.
Useful defaults:
EnableAutoSweep: trueSweepIntervalMinutes: 60EnableHostHealthMonitor: falseEnableLeaveNotifications: trueEnableChatTimestamps: falseEnableNotificationTimestamps: falseEnableChatReadability: trueEnableBetterMove: trueEnableReconnectGuard: trueEnableReconnectAnnouncement: trueEnableFocusAnywhere: trueEnableEnhancedPlayerPanel: trueEnablePingMentions: trueEnablePingSound: trueEnableStyleUi: trueEnableMiniMapPlayerLabels: true (legacy config name; now controls MiniMap ID Click only)EnableChatCopy: trueEnableChatUrlLinks: trueMaxChatCharacters: 1500MaxProfileCharacters: 1500MaxSessionNameCharacters: 1500
Old beta config files may still contain removed settings. BlueSage ignores old removed settings now. If something 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.
- BlueSage does not delete, rename, edit, or disable another creator's mod files.
- If AndrewLin Sweep is loaded, BlueSage auto sweep backs off.
- If Simple_QOL or ChatTweaks-style mods are loaded, BlueSage avoids duplicate timestamp/leave-notice formatting.
- If AndrewLin Reconnect is loaded too, BlueSage slows/guards reconnect pressure instead of rapid-firing reconnects.
- If BlueSage PlayerLimitLift is loaded, Host Health can include cap/default/chat-relay state.
If Something Feels Weird
- Run
/qol status first.
- Open
/qolmenu and turn off only the feature that feels weird.
- Reopen the player list if buttons look stale after scrolling a huge lobby.
- Use
/mml off if minimap dot clicks feel weird on your setup.
- Use
Reset Current in /styleui if your name/status experiment goes sideways.
