Start With Backpacks
Host-only starter backpacks/fannypacks for run start, late join, and reconnect. Optional random pack type and revive refill.Start With Backpacks 🎒 for PEAK
Everyone starts the climb with a backpack (or fannypack!) — including late joiners and people who disconnect and come back. Host-only: only the host needs the mod!
Features
- Run start — all players get a pack once their inventory is ready
- Late joiners / reconnects — alive joins get one when ready; dead ghosts get one after revive + warp
- Optional revive refill — host can give a pack to anyone revived without one
- Fannypack / random — host can grant fannypacks instead, or randomize backpack vs fannypack per player
- Host-only — clients do not need this mod installed
- Not a drop refill — dropping a pack does not grant another (unless they later revive with the revive config on)
How it works
PEAK’s inventory is host-authoritative. This mod only runs grants on the master client, then uses vanilla AddItem / inventory sync so unmodded clients still receive the pack.
| Case | What happens |
|---|---|
1. Normal run start (airport → Level_*) |
Queued on character register; granted when inventory exists and they’re alive |
| 2. Late join / reconnect | Marked mid-run join or reconnect. Alive → grant on shore wake. Dead / DeathOnArrival → grant after revive, once any warp finishes (no grant during the brief flicker-alive window) |
| 3. GiveBackpackOnAnyRevive | If enabled, every revive can grant a pack when they’re not warping and have no pack |
What it does not do
- Does not let clients cheat a pack into someone else’s lobby
- Does nothing outside gameplay levels (airport, menus, etc.)
- Does not poll every frame — only event / revive / warp-completed hooks
Configuration
After first launch:
BepInEx/config/tony4twentys.Start_With_Backpacks.cfg
| Option | Default | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
GiveBackpackOnAnyRevive |
false |
true = any revive without a pack gets one. false = only run-start / late-join / reconnect starters |
UseFannypack |
false |
true = grant Fannypack (166) instead of Backpack (6). Ignored if RandomPack is on |
RandomPack |
false |
true = each player randomly gets Backpack or Fannypack (host picks) |
Works with ModConfig if you use it.
