Photon Redirector

Author: Kirigiri
Version: 1.0.0
Description:
A BepInEx plugin that overrides the Photon connection setup to redirect the Photon App IDs (AppIdRealtime and AppIdVoice) to custom values loaded from a configuration file (PhotonRedirector.txt). Useful for testing or using custom Photon servers.

Features

• Fully overrides NetworkConnector.ConnectToPhoton() to inject custom Photon App IDs.
• Reads AppIdRealtime and AppIdVoice from BepInEx/config/PhotonRedirector.txt.
• Automatically creates a default config file if missing.
• Logs connection info and custom App IDs on connect.
• Can fix issues with ping that appear on the original game.

Installation

1. Download the latest PhotonRedirector.dll from the Thunderstore page.

2. Place the DLL into your game's BepInEx/plugins/ folder.

3. Launch the game once to generate the default config file at:

   BepInEx/config/PhotonRedirector.txt

4. Edit PhotonRedirector.txt to set your desired Photon App IDs:

   AppIdRealtime=your-realtime-app-id
   AppIdVoice=your-voice-app-id

5. Restart the game.

Configuration

PhotonRedirector.txt format (located in BepInEx/config/):

AppIdRealtime=1111  
AppIdVoice=1111  

Replace the values with your Photon Cloud App IDs or custom server IDs.

How to Create a Photon Server

Photon is a multiplayer backend service by Exit Games. To create your own Photon server and get App IDs:

1. Create an account on the Photon Engine Dashboard.
2. Create a new application:
   • Choose the Photon product (Realtime & Voice).
   • Give it a name and select the region.
3. Copy your App IDs:
   • After creation, your AppIdRealtime and AppIdVoice will be shown in the dashboard.
4. Use these App IDs in PhotonRedirector.txt to connect your game to this Photon server.
