Ping Plus

Networked ping improvements for Risk of Rain 2.

Pinned pings and item ownership in game

Item ownership

Pinging an item or equipment broadcasts one Owned by: chat line to the whole party
Counts are calculated by the host from authoritative player inventories
Only players with at least one copy are listed; zero counts are omitted
Item stacks use their real count and equipment uses ×1
Ordinary world, object, and enemy pings remain unchanged

Loot colors

Item and chest pings use Risk of Rain 2's tier colors: white, green, red, boss yellow, equipment orange, lunar blue, and void purple
Normal, large, legendary, equipment, lunar, and void chests use the matching loot color
Scrap items keep their tier color, and both scrap pickups and Scrappers use a dedicated scrap ping icon
Enemy attack pings keep their vanilla red appearance

Ping distance

Normal and pinned pings show the local player's distance in meters
The label updates only when the rounded distance changes

Pinned pings

Press G while aiming to create a pinned ping visible to the whole party
Only objects and enemies can be pinned; aiming at empty terrain does nothing
Press G on the same object again to unpin it
Press P to remove every pinned ping for the whole party
A player's first five pins are named ALPHA, GAMMA, BETA, TETA, and LAMBDA
Loot colors and the scrap icon apply to normal and pinned pings
Each player's oldest pinned ping is removed when their configured cap is reached
Pinned pings are cleared between stages

Configuration

PinnedPingDuration defaults to 0 seconds; 0 means until removed or the stage ends
MaxPinnedPings defaults to 5
PinKey defaults to G
ClearKey defaults to P

Multiplayer

The host and every player must install the same Ping Plus version. Do not enable Better Item Ping or Freeze Ping alongside Ping Plus, or their behavior will run twice.

Installation

Install Ping Plus from Thunderstore using Download with dependencies.

When testing by copying only PingPlus.dll, first install R2API Networking in that r2modman profile. Copying a DLL does not process manifest.json, so r2modman cannot install its dependencies automatically.

After Ping Plus loads once, successfully, edit its settings from r2modman's Config editor or open:

BepInEx/config/com.cirillom.pingplus.cfg
