TravelButton

TravelButton is a BepInEx plugin for Outward (Definitive Edition) that adds a quick-travel button to the in-game toolbar. It supports per-destination pricing (silver), runtime config updates, and safe scene loading with an overlay to avoid visual glitches.

Key features

Toolbar button that opens a travel dialog with configured destinations.
Per-city enable/disable and price settings.
Robust currency deduction using reflection across inventory-like components.
Auto-reload of external config changes and UI refresh without restarting the game.
Safe scene loading + teleportation with fade overlay and position probing.

Requirements

Outward (Definitive Edition)
BepInEx 5.x
(Optional) ConfigurationManager for in-game config GUI

Installation

Create (if needed) the plugin folder: <GameRoot>/BepInEx/plugins/TravelButton/
Copy the following files into that folder:
- TravelButtonMod.dll
- TravelButtonMod.pdb
- TravelButton_Cities.json
- TravelButton_icon.png
Start the game. Plugin initialization messages will appear in the BepInEx logs.

Configuration

BepInEx config entries created for:
- TravelButton.EnableMod
- TravelButton.GlobalTravelPrice
- TravelButton.CurrencyItem
- Per-city entries: {CityName}.Enabled and {CityName}.Price
TravelButton_Cities.json seeds city metadata (coordinates, defaults). Edit before first run or use the generated file.

Usage

Open the toolbar/inventory UI and click the TravelButton.
Click a destination to teleport. The plugin attempts to deduct the configured silver amount before teleporting. If payment fails, teleport is canceled and a notification/log entry is produced.

Quick troubleshooting

Prices not updating after editing cfg: ensure Config.Reload() appears in logs and FileSystemWatcher handled the change.
Money not deducted: check plugin logs for TryDeductPlayerCurrency messages which show which component/method was used.
If teleport proceeds but money remains unchanged, ensure the real deduction path (not simulation) runs before scene activation.

Development notes

Build target: .NET/Unity-compatible with Unity 2020 / .NET 4.x compatibility.
Place compiled DLL into BepInEx plugins folder for testing.
Logs are intentionally verbose for diagnosing inventory/currency and UI refresh behavior.
