ForgivingFalls Revamped

A fork of Pandaismyname1's PeakForgivingFalls, updated for current PEAK and retuned to work with the game's climbing code instead of over it. All credit for the original idea and implementation goes to Pandaismyname1; MIT, same as upstream.

Grab a wall on the way down and you get to keep it. Run out of stamina mid-climb and you slide instead of being peeled straight off.

Why a revamp

Since the original release, PEAK grew its own version of this mechanic. StartClimbRpc now slides you down the wall when you grab it out of stamina, scaled by how far you reached and how fast you were already falling, and it tops up a timer that Climbing() squares into a ramp that eventually peels you off. Fall damage from a grab lands once that slide passes roughly 17.9.

Two things followed from that:

• The original mod stopped working outright. playerSlide became a property backed by a private field, so its GetField("playerSlide") lookup returned null and the patch quietly did nothing.
• Hard-setting the slide to a flat value, as the original did, now throws away tuning the game does for itself.

So this version trims rather than replaces. It clamps the slide below the fall-damage threshold and caps the peel-off timer, and lets the game's own curves shape everything under those limits.

Configuration

BepInEx/config/ForgivingFalls_Revamped.cfg, written on first launch.

Setting	Default	What it does
MaxAttachSlide	15	Largest downward slide a wall grab may hand you. Fall damage starts past roughly 17.9, so the default keeps a grab survivable while leaving the game's slide curve intact below it. 5 matches the original mod, 0 removes the slide.
MaxOutOfStaminaClimbTime	0.5	Cap in seconds on the out-of-stamina climb timer after a grab. PEAK squares that timer to ramp the slide that peels you off, so a lower cap buys a longer hang.
ResetFallTimerOnAttach	true	Counts a grab as the end of the fall, so the landing after it is not charged for the airtime before it. PEAK already does this while you have stamina; this extends it to grabs made on empty.

Installation

Install through a mod manager, or drop ForgivingFalls_Revamped.dll in BepInEx/plugins/.

Compatibility

• Verified against PEAK build 26155610 (Unity 6000.3.15f1), the 3.0.0 crossplay line
• BepInEx 5.x
• Mods are disabled in crossplay lobbies, so this applies to Steam-only lobbies

Safe to install alongside the original, which uses a different plugin GUID — though the original does nothing on current builds, so there is no reason to run both.
