🎈 Enhanced Balloon & Parasol Control

Take control of the skies.
This mod supercharges your aerial movement in PEAK — giving you faster movement when drifting with balloons or gliding under a parasol.

• Sprint in the air to boost your flight speed even more (consumes stamina).
• Crouch mid-air to pop a balloon or toggle your parasol instantly.

Now with host-controlled multiplayer sync for fair play!
Clients can’t cheat by using boosted air control unless the host also has the mod.

💡 What It Does

• 🪂 Parasol Control
  • Tap crouch to toggle parasol open/close anytime.
• 🎈 Balloon Control
  • Tap crouch to pop a single balloon on demand.
• 💨 Air Boost
  • Sprint in the air to multiply your movement force even more.
  • Consumes stamina just like ground sprinting.

🛡️ Host-Controlled Multiplayer

• ✅ Host has mod → Clients with the mod get the aerial controls using the host’s config.
• ❌ Host doesn’t have mod → Nobody gets the effect (even if clients have it).
• 🔁 Host migration → New host republishes config automatically and everyone resyncs.
• 🔒 Fair by design → No client-side advantage in lobbies where the host doesn’t approve.

⚙️ Configuration (BepInEx)

A config file is created on first run:
BepInEx/config/tony4twentys.Enhanced_Balloon_and_Parasol_Control.cfg

Movement

• AirForceMultiplier = 2.0 — Multiply movement force when balloon lift or parasol glide is active.
• BoostedAirForceMultiplier = 3.0 — Multiply movement force when airborne & sprinting (consumes stamina).

In multiplayer, clients always use the host’s values above. Client local values are ignored.

📦 Installation

1. Download the mod manually and extract the files.
2. Drop the .dll into your /PEAK/BepInEx/plugins/ folder.
3. Launch the game and the config will be generated automatically.

🔥 Or use the Thunderstore Mod Manager for 1-click install 🔥

• Supports BepInEx
• Safe for singleplayer and host-approved multiplayer

🔥 How It Works (Behind the Scenes)

• Host config broadcast
  The host publishes a compact string (AirForceMult|BoostedAirForceMult) to the room property EBPC_CFG_V1. Clients read this on join and whenever it changes.

• Handshake gate
  All crouch/balloon/parasol/air boost effects check the handshake. If the host hasn’t published config → no effects are applied.

• Fair multiplayer sync
  Everyone in the lobby is guaranteed to use the host’s multipliers. No desync, no unfair client-only boosts.

🔍 Troubleshooting

• Client not getting boosts?

  • Make sure the host has the mod.
  • Check BepInEx/LogOutput.log for [EBPC] Host published config on host, and [EBPC] Config updated from room on client.

• Multipliers feel wrong? The host most likely doesnt have the mod or has a different config then you.
