Death Head Hopper Fix

This mod builds on the work of Death Head Hopper version 2.1.8 by Cronchy—it's not a full replacement but a compatibility and stability patch that hardens runtime checks, recalculates jump/hop forces, and keeps the charge energy pipeline balanced so the game or server does not lock up while spectating after death.

Updates

• In case of an update, I suggest resetting the configuration to the default values.

New functionality

• Adds the ability to tie jumps to the DeathBattery function so each jump consumes battery energy, effectively limiting hop/spike forces when the device is drained.
• Introduces the option to recharge stamina using the same baseline that the vanilla game uses, while bumping the ability cost from 40 to 60 to keep it in check.
• Exposes every balance variable in BepInEx/config/AdrenSnyder.DeathHeadHopperFix.cfg, covering logging flags, battery thresholds, stamina recharge rates, cost scalars, and multiplier tweaks so you can tune them.

Fixes

• Protects SpectateCamera and DeathHeadController routines from missing fields or destroyed game objects so spectating remains stable.
• Tames HopHandler, JumpHandler, and ChargeHandler with diminishing returns and tighter effect control.
• Keeps scene-spanning prefabs (Photon pools, stats/upgrades, etc.) alive so required references never vanish.

Requirements

• BepInEx-BepInExPack-5.4.2100
• Zehs-REPOLib-2.1.0
• Cronchy-DeathHeadHopper-2.1.8

Configuration

The configuration file BepInEx/config/AdrenSnyder.DeathHeadHopperFix.cfg exposes all of the logging, battery, cost, and multiplier options that this patch applies. Adjust them only while in-game if you want to tweak the energy behavior, stamina recharge pacing, or enable debug logging.
