Pitch Black PEAK

• 🌑 Take on the darkness. Can you make it to the rescue point without succumbing to it?
• 🏮 Hold onto your precious lantern to navigate. Pair with PEAK Luggage Items if you or a fellow scout lose one!
• 💡🔦 Brighter than stock, with classic "Bullseye" mode — a directional spotlight. Press F (configurable) while held for mode switching and when hip-holstered it will turn the lantern on or off.
• 🌈 Color your lantern: Original warm yellow, match your scout skin, or a custom hex color — including the new gloom aura glow.
• 🕐 Optional Day/Night Cycle (or classic always-FullDark) with a customizable on-screen clock (12-hour by default).
• 👀 Night vision binoculars + ghost vision / ghost glow for the afterlife.
• 🎨 Soft compatibility with TimeTheme — UI day/night themes follow Pitch Black’s cycle; our clock matches TimeTheme colors when installed.
• 🗣️ Find the mod in the Peak Modding Discord under #mod-releases
• Play with Scoutmasters Rampage for an even scarier experience.
• You can give the Scoutmaster a lantern to hold (Rampage) and an always-lit hip lantern from Pitch Black — no player inventory required. Lantern itemID = 42.
• Customizable CLOCK — 12hr or military time, day phases, layout, and colors (see screenshots).

Host-synced (examples): Darkness preset, cycle hours, celestial sky, lantern intensity/range/color/burn, gloom aura, StartWithLantern, HipLantern, ScoutmasterHipLantern + Scoutmaster lantern color, campfire/flare glow, character light disable

Local only: ModeToggleKey, clock HUD layout/colors/position

Optional soft dependency: TimeTheme (not required)

📦 Installation

Manual

1. Install BepInEx (if not already).
2. Copy Pitch Black.dll to BepInEx/plugins/.
3. Run the game once to generate the config.
4. (Optional) Customize settings in the config or ModConfig menu.

Thunderstore
🔥 Use Thunderstore Mod Manager / r2modman for one-click install 🔥

Tip: For the best multiplayer experience, everyone in the lobby should run the same Pitch Black PEAK version. If only clients have the mod, they will restore vanilla lighting after the host handshake fails.

• 🔦 Community lifeline: Huge thanks to Hnsk_Noah for BlackPeakRemix, which kept the Pitch Black experience alive and evolving while I was away. The 2.0.0 revival adapted ideas from Remix including colored lanterns, improved lantern / environment networking, ghost glow & ghost vision, campfire/flare glow, burn-duration options, and host-sync patterns — rebuilt into the official Pitch Black PEAK codebase.
