🏔️ Everest

Everest is a mod for PEAK that creates a shared experience of failure and discovery. When you die, your location is saved to a server. As you play, your world will be populated with the skeletons of other fallen players, marking the dangerous places where they met their end.

✨ Features

• Shared Deaths: Automatically uploads your death location to a central server.
• Persistent Skeletons: Downloads the death locations of other players and spawns skeletons in their place, showing you where others have perished on their arduous climb to the top. (some skeletons may even have unique appearances 👀)
• UI Toasts: Provides easy confirmation that the mod is working as expected and informs you when it isn't.
• Configurable: A comprehensive configuration file lets you adjust the experience to your liking.

📋 Requirements

While it's recommended to use either Gale or r2modman to install, you can install the mod manually if you prefer.

Before manually installing Everest, please ensure you have the following installed:

• BepInEx: The modding framework required to load the mod.
• UniTask: A library used to better handle async operations in Unity.
  • Simply drop the UniTask dll files into BepInEx/core to install.

⚙️ Configuration

The first time you run the game with Everest installed, it will generate a configuration file located at BepInEx/config/Everest.cfg. You can open this file with any text editor to change the settings.

Here are the available options:

[General]

• Enabled

  • Toggles the entire mod on or off.
  • Values: true / false
  • Default: true

• MaxSkeletons

  • Sets the maximum number of skeletons that can be spawned in your world at one time.
  • Values: Any whole number (e.g., 10, 25, 50)
  • Default: 100

• AllowUpload

  • Determines if the mod will upload your own death location to the server. Set to false if you only want to see other players' skeletons without contributing your own.
  • Values: true / false
  • Default: true

• HideFloaters

  • Toggles a collision check that will attempt to hide skeletons that aren't touching any level geometry.
  • Values: true / false
  • Default: true

• ExcludeNearCrashSite

  • Attempts to exclude skeletons near the crash site
