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 expose some options.

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.
• Changed/Tuned some behaviours

Multiplayer

• Every player (host and clients) must have this mod, and the original, installed.

Configuration

The configuration file BepInEx/config/AdrenSnyder.DeathHeadHopperFix.cfg exposes all of the logging, battery, cost, and multiplier options that this patch applies.

Changelog

[0.1.9] - Photon + Head Charger sync

• Synchronizes a dedicated DHHPunManager PhotonView ID through DhhPunViewIdRoomKey so RPCs stop failing or misaligning during shelf updates.
• Ensures the shop/prefab registry caches every alias/normalized asset name it encounters, which brings the HeadCharger battery back to the attic without skipping it.
• Keeps charge ability state checks tied to DHHStatsManager.GetHeadChargeUpgrade so clients reflect the real head charge slot state even after master/client swaps.
• Added "hold"" to charge ability to calibrate the direction/power. Now it fires when the button is released.

[0.1.8] - Fixes

• Ensure JumpBattery checks honor the BatteryJumpEnabled flag so the player head can still jump when the battery system is intentionally disabled.
• Prevented the head from jumping infinitely without draining battery energy after holding jump, so the energy meter now ticks down per hop.
• Fixes on Bepinex variables management

[0.1.7] - Sound and Host JumpBattery fix

• Trying to stop the looping sound after using the charge ability
• Added a guard to prevent a dead player’s jump from consuming the host’s death battery

[0.1.6] - Debug logging improvements

• Debug logging Jump and Ability.

[0.1.5] - Jump tuning

• Change default jump curve and fix upgrade effectiveness.

[0.1.4] - Debug logging

• Added Debug gate to Deferred Audio log.

[0.1.2] - Shop tuning

• Added ShopItemsSpawnChance as a second-tier gate so each selected Shelf slot may still fail to produce an item, giving 0–5 DHH upgrades per run depending on two separate probabilities.

[0.1.1] - Bug Fixes

• Fixes PhysGrabber.ReleaseObjectRPC(bool, float) called by DeathHeadHopper with incorrect parameters.

[0.1.0] - First public release

• Initial public release introducing every compatibility and stability patch for DeathHeadHopper 2.1.8 plus some customizations :)
