Usable Valuables

Some valuables do things - the flashlight lights up, the ice saw spins, the boombox plays music, the star wand fires spells - but only on their own terms: when you grab them, swing them or break them. With this mod you can hold one and press Interact (E) to use it.

While you hold a valuable the key works on, a hint shows what it will do.

What the key does

Valuable	Press E to
Flashlight	Switch the light off and on. It still lights up by itself when you pick it up.
Boombox	Mute it and start it again. Muted, it makes no music, you don't dance and it doesn't draw enemies.
Candle	Blow the flame out and light it again.
Ice Saw	Switch it off and on. It still spins up by itself when you pick it up.
Blender	Switch it off and on, the same way.
Jackhammer	Switch it off and on, the same way.
Scream Doll	Silence it, and wake it again.
Fan	Switch it off and on. It still starts blowing by itself when you pick it up.
Radio	Turn it on at once: the light flickers on and it blares, drawing enemies.
Gramophone	Start it at once: the record spins and the music plays, drawing enemies.
Television	Switch it on at once: static, then the cat and the mouse cartoon, drawing enemies.
Toy Monkey	Wind it up at once: it bangs its cymbals and hops about, drawing enemies.
Grandfather Clock	Ring it at once: the bell sounds, the screen shakes, the pendulum speeds up and enemies come.
Flamethrower	Start the flames and stop them again. They burn the same fuel the trigger does, so it still runs dry; let go of the valuable and they stop.
Fire Extinguisher	Start the spray and stop it again, the same way.
Star Wand	Cast a spell, as if you had swung it. Like a swing, every cast costs the wand part of its value.
Wizard Staff	Fire its laser.
Camera	Set off the flash (the stunning burst it gives when it takes damage).
Levitation Potion	Release the levitation sphere, without smashing the potion.

Anything you switch off goes back to normal when you let go of it (it starts by itself again the next time you pick it up); the candle stays as you left it.

Traps don't stay off. The boombox, ice saw, blender, jackhammer, scream doll and fan are hazards in the game, and one you switched off can switch itself back on while you are still holding it: every second there is a chance that it does (30% by default, see the settings). The flashlight and the candle are not traps and stay as you left them.

The radio, gramophone, television, toy monkey and grandfather clock are one-shot traps. In the game they go off once, when the dice say so while somebody holds them, and never again. With this mod, each second you hold one that has not gone off yet there is a chance it goes off by itself (30% by default, see the settings), and E sets it off right away; either way it uses the game's own trap trigger, so the effect is the game's, your screen glitches as it does in the game, and everybody sees it. Once one has gone off the hint disappears, because there is nothing left to press. Set the chance to 0 and they only go off when you press E (or when the game's own dice fire).

Only the valuables listed on this page are affected. Nothing is written into the game files.

Valuables that act up by themselves

Four valuables do nothing at all in the game (the piano does, but only when you grab its keys). With this mod they misbehave, with no key involved. When one of them goes off, whoever holds it (or, for the creeping handface, a player within range) also gets the screen glitch the game shows when a trap goes off, the one you get when the TV turns on.

Valuable	What happens
Banana Bow	Each second you hold it there is a small chance (3% by default) that a bomb fuse (the game's own, from the Bang enemy) starts burning. Two seconds later it says "uh-oh", which is your chance to react, and about a second after that it blows up and is gone. The explosion is the game's own (like the barrel's): it hurts players and enemies and throws things around. Once the fuse is lit, holding on or letting go makes no difference.
Handface (held)	Each second you hold it there is a chance (15% by default) that it starts laughing, loudly, and shaking like a cursed doll, with short harder spasms, which draws enemies within about 35 metres every second. It keeps going for as long as somebody holds it, and stops 2 seconds after it was let go of (pick it up again in time and it keeps going), or at once if it is put in the cart.
Handface (not held)	While a player moves near it (5 metres by default) it slowly turns to face them, faster and faster the closer it gets to the throw, without falling or leaving its place, and a creeping sound plays, fading in when the movement starts and out when it stops, and the noise draws enemies. If the player keeps moving until the sound is over (about 10 seconds), the handface is flung at the nearest player, hurts them on impact (20 damage by default), knocks them into ragdoll (for 2 seconds by default) and laughs. That happens once: after it, the handface does nothing any more. Stop moving before then and the sound fades out and starts over next time. It does nothing while somebody holds it or while it is in the cart. Between its two behaviours it rests for 4 seconds: after it stops laughing it cannot start creeping, and after it stops creeping it cannot start laughing, for that long.
Horse	It whinnies the first time somebody picks it up, and never again.
Piano	While somebody holds it by anything but its keys there is a chance (10% by default) each second that it starts playing a song by itself: the slow part (the Lassan) of Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2, in Rachmaninoff's 1919 recording. The song plays for as long as the piano is held, and stops 2 seconds after it was let go of. Grab the keys and it plays notes as usual.

The dish sponge

A valuable of its own, which this mod adds: a yellow kitchen sponge with a green scrubbing layer. It is small (about 16 cm), light, hard to break and worth $100 to $300. It turns up in levels the way any other small valuable does, and you pick it up, throw it, put it in the cart and extract it like the rest.

The first time somebody picks a sponge up it plays a bubbling sound and blows a burst of bubbles for as long as the sound lasts, and then stops. After that, move it (carry it, shake it, throw it) and it blows soap bubbles and drips: the faster it goes, the more bubbles, with the sound of a drop now and then and, once in a while, a bubble bursting. Turning it counts as moving it. It stays quiet in the cart, which moves it for you. To drip with a sound of your own, put an mp3 called sponge_drip.mp3 in the mod's audio folder.

Everybody in the room needs this mod for the sponge to turn up. A player who cannot create a valuable that the host spawned waits at the loading screen for ever, so every player who has the mod says so when they join, and the host only lets the sponge into a level when everybody in the room has said it. With one player without the mod (or with the sponge switched off), the rest of the mod works as usual and there is simply no sponge. The sponge needs REPOLib, which the Mod Manager installs with this mod.

Multiplayer

The host must have the mod: it checks every request (you have to be holding the valuable, and it has to be ready again) and tells everyone what happened. Everyone else needs it to press the key, and to see and hear the flashlight, boombox and candle switches, the camera flash and the potion. The star wand, the staff and the ice saw, blender, jackhammer, scream doll, fan, flamethrower and fire extinguisher work through the game's own networking (the host runs them), so everybody sees them. So do the one-shot traps (radio, gramophone, television, toy monkey, grandfather clock): the host sets them off with the game's own trap trigger. For the banana bow and the handface the host rolls the dice, shakes the handface and alerts the enemies, and removes the banana bow; the fuse, the "uh-oh", the laugh, the creeping sound, the horse's whinny, the piano's song, the screen glitch and the explosion effect are played on each player's own machine, so a player without the mod does not hear or see those (they do see the handface shake, turn and fly, and the banana bow disappear). The impact of the flung handface is checked on each player's own machine against that player, as the game does for its own hazards.

Only the host's settings are used.

Notes

• The key is the game's Interact key, so it follows your key bindings.
• This is an early version - please report anything odd, especially in multiplayer.

Credits

The piano's song is Sergei Rachmaninoff's 1919 Edison recording of Liszt's Second Hungarian Rhapsody, part I (Edison Diamond Disc 82169-R), from the Library of Congress via Wikimedia Commons (the MP3 version Commons provides). It is in the public domain in the United States (a sound recording first published before 1926); Liszt died in 1886.
