Photon Network Checker for R.E.P.O

Displays Photon nameserver reachability directly on the main menu HUD. Three check types per server — IP, HTTP, and WSS — so you know exactly where connectivity fails.

📖 Description

Having trouble connecting to lobbies or getting dropped mid-game? Photon Network Checker adds a compact status line to the main menu HUD showing live reachability of all four Photon nameservers. Each server is checked with three methods: DNS resolve, TCP port 80, and TLS port 443 (WSS).

🎯 Who Needs This Mod

Anyone who wants to quickly see whether Photon connectivity issues are on their end or the server side. Client-side only — no host required.

✨ Features

• Live status line in the main menu HUD (below build version)
• Three independent checks per server: IP (DNS), HTTP (port 80), WSS (TLS port 443)
• All checks run in parallel per server, re-checked every 30 seconds
• Color-coded icons: ✅ green = reachable, ❌ red = unreachable, ❓ yellow = checking
• Font size scaled to match the existing HUD style (75% of Build Name)

📊 Status Display

Located in Header below the build version text:

Photon (IP|HTTP|WSS): ns ✓✓✓, eu ✓✓✓, us ✓✓✓, jp ✓✓✓

Each server shows three icons in order: IP → HTTP → WSS.
