Custom Starter Kit

Custom Starter Kit allows the host to configure a starter kit that all players will receive when they join the game.

I suggest using ModConfig mod as the host so you can setup the starter kit for everyone anytime you are in the pre-game lobby at the airport!

🎯 Key Features:

1. Host-Only Configuration - Only the host can set up and modify the starter kit
2. 3 Pocket Slots - Configure up to 3 items for player pockets
3. Optional Backpack - Give players a backpack with 4 additional item slots
4. Campfire Re-Kit - Players can receive starter kit items again when lighting campfires
5. Smart Item Spawning - Excess items spawn above players and drop to ground when inventory is full
6. Complete Item Reference - Browse all 132 available items with their IDs in ModConfig
7. Hot-Reload Support - Changes take effect for newly spawned players without restarting
8. Auto-Correction - Item reference entries auto-corrected if accidentally modified

REMINDER Only the host needs this mod - other players will automatically receive the configured starter kit items.

🛠 Configuration

After the first launch, a config file will be generated at:

BepInEx/config/tony4twentys.Custom_Starter_Kit.cfg

🔧 Config Sections:

Section 0 - Item Reference

• 132 Individual Entries - Each item from the game with its ID
• Format: Item Name = Item ID (e.g., "Apple = 1", "Flashlight = 15")
• Read-Only - Values auto-correct if accidentally changed
• Searchable - Use ModConfig's search to find specific items

Section 1 - Pockets

• PocketSlot1ItemID - Item ID for first pocket slot (0 = empty)
• PocketSlot2ItemID - Item ID for second pocket slot (0 = empty)
• PocketSlot3ItemID - Item ID for third pocket slot (0 = empty)

Section 2 - Backpack

• GiveBackpack - Enable/disable giving players a backpack (true/false)
• BackpackSlot1ItemID - Item ID for first backpack slot (0 = empty)
• BackpackSlot2ItemID - Item ID for second backpack slot (0 = empty)
• BackpackSlot3ItemID - Item ID for third backpack slot (0 = empty)
• BackpackSlot4ItemID - Item ID for fourth backpack slot (0 = empty)

Section 3 - Campfire Re-Kit

• RepeatOnCampfire - Give starter kit items again when campfires are lit (true/false)

🎮 How to Use

For Hosts:

1. Install the mod and launch the game
2. Open ModConfig (if installed) or edit the config file directly
3. Browse Section 0 to find item IDs you want to use
4. Configure Section 1 - Set item IDs for pocket slots (0 = empty)
5. Configure Section 2 - Enable backpack and set backpack slot items
6. Configure Section 3 - Enable campfire re-kit if desired
7. Start a game - Players joining will receive the configured starter kit

For Players:

• No setup required - You'll automatically receive the host's configured starter kit
• Browse item reference - Use ModConfig to see all available items and their IDs
• Initial delivery - You'll receive the kit when joining the game
• Campfire re-supply - If enabled, you'll receive items again when lighting campfires

🔄 How It Works

1. Host Configuration - Host sets up the starter kit via ModConfig or config file
2. Player Scanning - Plugin scans for new players every 5 seconds
3. Initial Kit Delivery - New players receive the configured items automatically
4. Campfire Re-Supply - When enabled, players receive items again when lighting campfires
5. Smart Inventory Handling - Items spawn above players and drop to ground when inventory is full
6. Duplicate Prevention - Players only receive initial kit once per session (but can get campfire re-supplies)

2. Extract it into your BepInEx/plugins/ folder.
