Changelog

[3.0.0] - 2026-07-29

New dependencies

• PEAKLib_Core (host-has-mod handshake)
• PhotonCustomPropsUtils (host → client gameplay config sync)
• All players should install the mod; the host must have it for handshake + sync

Multiplayer / config sync

• Host publishes gameplay settings to the room; clients apply them live
• Client config files are not overwritten (restored when leaving)
• Stays local: overhead bar UI, EnableLogs, F1 keybind
• Fixes cases where clients ignored host values (e.g. grab injury still at vanilla 0.25)

---

Scoutmaster is vulnerable (player-like)

• Can receive vanilla afflictions / injury (master toggle)
• Always immune to hunger and always immune to fall damage
• Optional block of third-party custom statuses on him
• Supernatural recovery slowly clears status bars over time
• Optional toggle: movement stamina drain vs infinite climb/sprint (default = infinite, vanilla-feel)
• Pass-out from afflictions → stay down → recover → flee off-map → heal → respawn after delay (with lava/stuck failsafe)
• Overhead stamina + affliction bar above his head (local UI)

Environment & items that affect him

• Lava (all lava sources) applies Hot / knock effects
• Alpine wind chill and cold rocks apply Cold
• Blow darts can hit him and apply drowsy (shooter needs the mod)
• Rescue Hook can grapple him (hook user needs the mod); interrupts grabs/throws
• Napberry plants / hypno orbs — he flees them and gains drowsy (lore: he’s afraid of napberries)
• Held NapBerry — he retreats while in range; berry charge drains and the item is destroyed after ~10s by default (no accidental “eat” effects on the holder)
• Lit Faerie Lantern still repels him (config moved to Interactions)

Scoutmasters Blessing (bonk)

• Chance (default 50%) to reward the player who bonks him with a random power
• Default powers: Infinite Stamina, Invincibility, Faster Boi, Bonus Stamina, Warp To Leader
• Climbing Chalk available in the power list (real climb-speed boost)
• Hero-title popup in the game font (no “DAY ONE” clutter; faster typing)
• Warp auto-skipped in solo (rolls other powers instead)
• Coconut stun duration still configurable; banana peels still slip him

Scoutmasters Loot (pass-out)

• On pass-out, chance to drop random items from a CSV of item IDs
• Configurable drop chance, min/max count, and loot table (food, gear, tools, etc.)

Held item

• Holds a lit torch by default (configurable item ID)
• Stashes the item while climbing, grabbing, or close enough to grab
• Optional random item pool on re-equip

Kiln & spawn polish

• Dedicated Kiln climb-only behavior: smarter standable-ground respawns / lost-sight recovery; blocks bad teleports that stuck him on walls
• Survives segment jumps (no longer stranded inactive when map segments swap)
• Spawns / F1 place him behind the furthest-behind climber (campfire-aware), with configurable drop height
• Campfire flee also fully clears his statuses off-map

Chase combat options

• Configurable throw injury amount (GrabInjuryAmount, vanilla 0.25)
• Optional insta-kill on grab
• Climb speed & run speed adjustments
• Near-target movement boost, teleports, sprint distance, flee duration, etc. (all configurable)

Optimizations & reliability

• Throttled overhead bar updates, lava/napberry caches, host status sync interval
• Safer pass-out / particle / whirlwind paths for the bot prefab
• Scene reset skips additive kiln loads so run state isn’t wiped mid-climb
• Logging off by default

[2.2.3]

• Timed spawn, campfire flee/respawn delays
• Coconut bonk stun, banana peel slips, Faerie Lantern flee
• Screen effect power / disable
• F1 force respawn, basic chase/grab AI
• Debug logging

[1.0.0] - 2025-09-26

• Initial release.
