Industrial Defibrillator for R.E.P.O.

Promotional illustration; in-game visuals use the procedural model described below.

0.1.5 is an experimental test candidate, not a verified stable release. The plugin compiles against the Managed references supplied for R.E.P.O. 0.5.1. Automated core and API metadata checks pass. The game has not been run in this environment.

Requirements

• R.E.P.O. 0.5.1, Steam.
• BepInEx-BepInExPack-5.4.2305.
• Zehs-REPOLib-4.3.0.
• Every player, including the host, must install the same mod and dependency versions.

Install the local test build

1. Download releases/Industrial_Defibrillator-0.1.5.zip from this repository.
2. Create a separate Thunderstore Mod Manager profile and install the two dependencies above.
3. Use Settings > Import local mod if available. Alternatively, open the profile folder and extract the ZIP's BepInEx directory into it.
4. Remove/disable the previous mod installation before installing this update. Check that Defibrillator.dll and Defibrillator.Core.dll are together in BepInEx/plugins/IndustrialDefibrillator/.
5. Launch through Thunderstore on every machine. Check BepInEx/LogOutput.log for the plugin load and item registration messages.
6. Use a new test save and follow the multiplayer checklist.

This ZIP has not been published to Thunderstore. No game, BepInEx or REPOLib DLLs are bundled. Animal recordings are embedded in the project DLL, with source attributions included.

Default behavior

Setting	Initial behavior
Shop	One reserved slot per normal shop population; price 2k
Size and mass	Fixed compact model, approximately 35 cm wide, nominal 3 kg Unity mass; six fitted compound colliders
Use	Physically grab the device, aim at a dead player's head, hold Interact
Timing and range	3 seconds, within 2 meters from the operator's camera to the head
Cancellation	Release, drop the device, move out of range, lose aim or line of sight, take damage, or leave the active round
Cancelled attempt	No battery consumed; a new attempt starts at zero
Revival	Native revival with 1 HP
Battery	50% per successful revival; two uses per full charge
Charging	Native ItemBattery charging and persistence
Networking	Host checks identity, ownership, target, range, timing, damage and battery
Revival aftereffects	50/50 high (1.8x) or low (0.55x) voice for up to 180 seconds; electrical shock every 30 seconds, strong camera jolt and 25% native tumble chance
Animal voice	Every 30 seconds, uniformly choose sheep, cat, dog or horse; substitute real voice briefly, maximum 3 seconds
Assets	Original industrial model and synthesized sounds generated at runtime

The v0.1.0 registration failure (Sequence contains no matching element) is addressed by component-based donor discovery and deferred battery-display initialization. See the troubleshooting guide for new discovery messages. Retesting in the actual game is still required.

A vanilla tracker provides the runtime physics/inventory/battery shell. Its tracker behavior and donor collision geometry are removed; root scale is normalized and its visible model is replaced by original casing, paddles, cables and charge indicators. No Unity editor or AssetBundle is required. Use from an equipped inventory slot is not implemented: physically hold the device. If a donor has no embedded battery display, a private non-rendering copy of a native display supplies battery bookkeeping; the shared HUD is not modified. The native battery overlay retains six bars; the casing has four 25% indicators, so each default revival consumes two indicators. The purchase limit is one new unit per shop, not one across the entire run.

The voice effect ends at 180 seconds, death or level end, whichever comes first. Electrical aftershocks continue for the rest of the level until death, even after the voice has returned to normal. The first shock occurs 30 seconds after revival. Each shock shows the existing blue electrical arcs, increases native shake to strength 7 for 1.2 seconds, and briefly turns only the affected player's horizontal aim by 180 degrees in a random left/right direction. The host rolls a 25% chance to enter the native Q/tumble posture, visible to everyone. Players recover using normal game controls; already-tumbling players are not toggled upright. No direct HP damage or additional launch impulse is applied; normal native tumble interactions and environmental damage still apply. Native shake follows the game's shake settings; the separate turn can be disabled with YawDegrees=0.

Animal clips are bundled user-supplied recordings from Pixabay; see audio sources and integration. Each emission chooses a new random animal with equal probability (repeats allowed). The animal is played at natural pitch and speed through a separate source, unaffected by the revived player's high/low voice. Speech animation accompanies playback, and microphone/TTS voice playback returns after the clip. The animal effect lasts until death or level end and has its own timer, independent of electrical shocks.

Configuration

After first launch, edit BepInEx/config/ciriolopipado.defibrillator.cfg with the game closed, then restart. The host's configuration controls validation and price; clients receive progress and outcomes.

[Revival]
HoldSeconds = 3
RangeMeters = 2
Health = 1

[Battery]
CostPercent = 50

[Shop]
Price = 2

[VoiceDebuff]
Seconds = 180
HighPitch = 1.8
LowPitch = 0.55

[Aftershock]
IntervalSeconds = 30
CameraShakeStrength = 7
CameraShakeSeconds = 1.2
YawDegrees = 180
TumbleChance = 0.25

[AnimalVoice]
Enabled = true
IntervalSeconds = 30
Volume = 0.7

On first upgrade to 0.1.2, legacy defaults Price=0 and CostPercent=25 migrate to 2 and 50. Other custom values remain unchanged. The internal balance revision prevents repeated migrations; after migration, manual settings are respected. Keep your existing configuration file to retain voice and aftershock preferences.

On first upgrade to 0.1.3, legacy shake defaults 3.5 / 0.8 migrate once to 7 / 1.2; other custom shake values remain unchanged. TumbleChance=0 disables folding and 1 makes it happen on every eligible shock. All players must update together: the impact event in 0.1.3 uses protocol version 2. Version 0.1.4 adds animal events/snapshot state with protocol version 3: all players must install 0.1.5 together.

Price uses displayed shop currency units (2 means 2k, not 2000). Invalid values disable the plugin with an error log.

Evidence and limitations

• Passed: Release compilation without warnings/errors, 69 core behavior tests and 44 API/embedded-resource checks.
• Unrun: in-game startup, shop purchase, visuals, actual charging/persistence, voice playback, aftershock presentation, network execution, late joining, host migration and compatibility with other mods.
• Automated core tests simulate the game adapter; they do not establish multiplayer stability.
• Hold messages are sent every 0.15 seconds. A gap above 0.75 seconds resets progress; high latency can interrupt use. Aftereffect snapshots are requested every three seconds to recover late joins without restarting the voice timer.
• An active recoverable death head is required.
• The new compact model, compound collision, shelf/floor alignment, inventory restoration and weight feel still require in-game inspection. Physical dimensions and mass are fixed in this version, so all clients use the same geometry.
• If a shop exposes no item volume, guaranteed placement cannot proceed and is logged.
