🥶 Vasodilation

Sprint to stay warm.
This mod gives your character a survivalist edge for the Alpines — whenever you sprint, you resist cold affliction. Keep moving to keep warm! - Cold reduction is minor — it won’t make you invincible, just buy you time. Only activates when the player has cold affliction.

Not just the Alpines but even at night when its start to get cold in Ascent 5!

💡 What It Does

• 🏃 Sprinting reduces Cold over time — applied once per second.
• 🌡️ Automatically adds a cold resistance effect exactly like heat packs.

🛡️ Host-Controlled Multiplayer

• ✅ Host has mod → Clients with the mod get the effect 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 the loop restarts.
• 🔒 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.Vasodilation.cfg

General

• ColdPerSecond = -0.06 — Per-second Cold adjustment while sprinting (negative reduces Cold).
• TickSeconds = 1.0 — How often the effect is applied.
• ColdGateOn = 0.025 — Minimum Cold required to start applying the effect.
• ColdGateOff = 0.0 — Minimum Cold required to continue applying once started.

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

Debug

• VerboseLogs = false — When true, logs:

  • host/client role on join,
  • config publish/receive,
  • tick send/receive and whether a tick was applied or skipped (with reasons).

🔥 How It Works (Behind the Scenes)

• Host config broadcast
  The host publishes a compact string (ColdPerSecond|TickSeconds|GateOn|GateOff) to the room property VASO_CFG_V1. Clients read this on join and whenever it changes, so everyone uses the host’s values.

• Per-player ticks via Photon events
  The host sends a tiny RaiseEvent (code 113) every TickSeconds, targeted to each actor. This avoids PhotonView hacks and scene-load stalls.

• Local gating on the client
  On receive, the client checks isSprinting and current Cold > gateOff. Only then is the effect applied — no effect when you’re not sprinting or when Cold is already low.

• Effect application
  Applies Peak.Afflictions.Affliction_AdjustColdOverTime with statusPerSecond = ColdPerSecond for TickSeconds, repeating while you keep sprinting and the gate allows it.

• Optional detailed logging
  Set Debug.VerboseLogs = true to log host/client role, config publish/receive, tick send/receive, and apply/skip reasons.

If the host doesn’t have the mod, no one gets the effect, even if a client does.

🔍 Troubleshooting

• Client not getting the effect?

  • Make sure the host has the mod.
  • Set VerboseLogs = true on both host & client, sprint in a cold area for ~10s, then check BepInEx/LogOutput.log.
    • Host should show: "[Vaso] Sent tick -> actor X".
    • Client should show: "Tick applied" or "Tick ignored" plus sprinting/cold details.

• Values not matching?

  • Clients always adopt the host’s config via room property sync. Change the host’s config and re-enter the room.
