Better Ready Up

A small, lightweight mod that improves the ready-up experience in Risk of Rain 2, now supporting both single-player and multiplayer.

🎮 Features

Ready / Unready

Change your mind? Just click the button again.

In multiplayer, players can toggle their ready status freely before the game starts. Single-player now also supports readying and unreadying, allowing you to cancel the countdown before starting a run.

Ready-up Countdown

A configurable countdown that starts once everyone is ready in multiplayer, or when you ready up in single-player.

If anyone unreadies in multiplayer, or you unready in single-player, the countdown is cancelled and resets.

• Separate settings for single-player and multiplayer
• Defaults to 5 seconds
• Adjustable from 0–60 seconds

Setting the single-player countdown to 0 seconds restores vanilla behaviour, starting the game immediately when you ready up.

Force Ready (ALL)

A host-only button that readies everyone up and starts the countdown in multiplayer.

A couple of things to note:

• Players can still unready after the host uses Force Ready. This is intentional, and doing so will cancel and reset the countdown.
• Force Ready uses the host's configured multiplayer countdown duration. If you want Force Ready to start the game instantly, simply set the multiplayer countdown to 0 seconds. This also makes normal multiplayer ready-up instant once everyone is ready.

⚙️ Configuration

The single-player and multiplayer countdown durations can be configured independently through the BepInEx config file, which is automatically generated on first launch.

Both settings accept integer values from 0 to 60 seconds and default to 5 seconds.

To restore vanilla single-player behaviour, set the single-player countdown to 0 seconds. This allows you to start a run immediately without waiting for a countdown.

Optional In-Game Configuration

Better Ready Up supports optional integration with Risk of Options, allowing both countdown settings to be adjusted in-game.

Without Risk of Options, Better Ready Up works normally, and settings can still be adjusted through the BepInEx config file.

🌐 Language Support

Better Ready Up currently uses English-only text for some modified UI elements, such as Unready, regardless of the game's selected language. Existing game translations are preserved where possible.

This is a cosmetic limitation and does not affect functionality. Additional language support may be considered in a future update.
