DragUI

An all-in-one utility UI for V Rising. One small control bar, which you can drag anywhere on screen, opens every tool:

• V Blood hunt tracker: whether each boss you're hunting is up, how far away and in which direction, and an exact or estimated respawn countdown. One click switches the game's tracking trail.
• Loadouts: save your gear, spells, spell school passives and Bloodcraft class, and swap the whole build back on with one click.
• DPS meter: real damage after every modifier, per ability, with your recent fights to compare builds.
• Character sheet: every combat stat and exactly where it comes from, including the Bloodcraft and PerkShop bonuses the game's own sheet can't see.
• Cooldown tester: measures your real cooldowns and shows how your cooldown stat actually applies.
• Familiars: summon by name or hotkey, call/dismiss, and see every familiar from every box in one list.
• Experience per hour: XP/hour on the bar, split into quests, mobs and V Bloods per prestige level.
• Teleports: auto-accept or accept/deny teleport requests, one-click and hotkey teleports, and a pop-out teleport window to keep on screen.
• Boss alarm: a chime and a one-click teleport notice two minutes before each scheduled world boss spawns.

It's a client mod: install it on your PC, nothing goes on the server. The core tools work on any server, vanilla or modded. Some tools drive server mods through their chat commands, so they only work where the server runs those mods:

Tool	Works on	Needs on the server
Hunt tracker, DPS meter, cooldown tester	any server	nothing
Character sheet	any server	Bloodcraft (+ Eclipse on your client) for the Bloodcraft bonuses; PerkShop for perk stats
Loadouts	any server	Bloodcraft (+ Eclipse on your client) for the class part only
Familiars, Experience per hour	Bloodcraft servers	Bloodcraft (familiars enabled for Familiars)
Teleports	ScarletTeleports servers	ScarletTeleports
Boss alarm	any server with a boss schedule	ships with Noctveil's schedule (editable); its teleport button uses ScarletTeleports

Features

• Control bar. A small bar with one button per feature: Tracker shows or hides the hunt tracker, Familiars opens the familiar window, Character drops down a menu with Stats (the full character sheet), CD Test (the cooldown tester) and Loadouts, DPS shows your last fight's DPS and opens the meter, XP …/h shows your experience per hour and opens its breakdown, Teleport opens the teleport window (it shows how many requests are waiting, e.g. Teleport (1)), and Server Settings drops down a menu of server-specific settings (Noctveil). When a feature has something for you (like a boss alarm's teleport), it shows in a notification slot at the end of the bar. The newest notice replaces the one before, and clicking it does what it says (or dismisses it). A button is lit while its window is open or its feature is on. Drag the bar by its grip (the dots on the left). Drag the strip on its right edge (marked with a ◀|▶ resize icon) to make it narrower or wider: the buttons wrap into rows to fill the width, so the bar can be a row, a column, a square or anything in between. Click the grip (without dragging) to switch between one row and one column.
• V Blood list. Click the gear on the hunt tracker, or bind a hotkey, to open a list of all 64 V Bloods. Each row shows the region, act, live status and a Track button. Tick a row to add that boss to your hunt.
• Hunt tracker. A compact on-screen widget for the V Bloods you're hunting. Each row shows:
  • 612m NE: alive, with distance and direction from you
  • 4:37: dead, with an exact respawn countdown
  • ~4:37: dead, with an estimated countdown
  • Due: the countdown has passed and the boss hasn't been reported alive yet
  • Not listed: the server didn't report it (dead before we saw it, or not trackable for your character yet)
• Track buttons in both the tracker and the list. A Track button sends the same request as the game's own V Blood menu, so the normal tracking trail/marker switches to that boss. Click Tracked to stop tracking.
• Familiars (Bloodcraft). Type a familiar's name and press Enter or Summon to bind and call it out. Partial names work (alpha). If the familiar you summon is already bound, the mod sends .fam t instead, which calls it out or dismisses it. That's quicker and works in combat. If a different familiar is bound but dismissed (Bloodcraft won't swap a dismissed familiar), it's called back first and the new one is bound right after. The mod learns what's bound from Bloodcraft's replies (… bound!, Familiar disabled!, ...). The window shows it on the Bound line and colours that familiar's saved name: green when it's out, amber when it's dismissed. Right after a login the state is unknown, so the first summon always rebinds. Binding a different familiar still can't happen in combat (Bloodcraft's rule), and .fam sb unbinds your current familiar before it finds out you're in combat, so swap before the fight. Every name you summon this way is saved as a one-click button; x removes one. Give a saved familiar a hotkey by clicking its key button (+ key) and pressing a key, optionally with Ctrl/Alt/Shift. From then on that key summons it, even with the window closed. Esc cancels, Backspace clears the bind, and a key already used by another familiar moves to the new one. The mod doesn't stop the game from also seeing the key, so pick keys the game doesn't use (F5–F12, numpad, or Ctrl/Alt+key). Hotkeys don't fire while you're typing in chat. Call / Dismiss calls out or dismisses your bound familiar. The buttons send Bloodcraft's own commands for you (.fam sb "name" and .fam t), so Bloodcraft's replies appear in chat as usual. A name that matches familiars in more than one box won't bind (Bloodcraft's limit), so use a more specific name.
• All familiars (Bloodcraft). Click List All in the Familiars window to see every familiar you've unlocked, from every box, in one scrollable list with its level, prestige, box and a gold * if it's shiny. The mod reads each box with Bloodcraft's .fam boxes, .fam cb and .fam l, hides those replies from chat, and selects your previous box again at the end. Save adds a familiar to the quick summon list. Delete removes it from its box permanently (.fam r), so the first click asks Sure?. Before deleting, the mod lists that box again and only removes the familiar if it's still there, so a stale list can't delete the wrong one. Saved switches back to the quick summon list.
• DPS meter. Counts the damage numbers the server sends you for your own hits on creatures (plus your minions' and familiar's; trees, rocks and buildings are ignored), so it measures real damage after every modifier: gear, Bloodcraft, procs, other mods. A fight starts with your first hit and ends 6 seconds after your last (Dps.FightTimeoutSeconds). The window shows the fight's duration, DPS, total damage and main target, then a per-ability table: damage, DPS, hits, crit % and share. Below that are your last fights; click one to view it, or Live to go back. Use it to compare builds on the same target.
• Loadouts. Character → Loadouts saves your build and puts it back on with one click. Type a name and click Save current to record your equipped gear (weapon, armor, amulet, cloak, bag), your spells (both spell slots and the ultimate), your spell school passives, and your Bloodcraft class and class shift spell. Apply equips the saved gear from your inventory, puts the spells back on the bar (as picking them in the spellbook does), swaps the passives, then sends Bloodcraft's .class csp. Anything it can't find in your inventory is listed. Update re-records a loadout from what you have on, after a prompt warning that it overwrites the saved one (saving under a name that's already taken asks the same), and x deletes it, also after a prompt. Applying uses the same requests as the game's inventory and spellbook menus, so the server checks each one as if you did it by hand. Bloodcraft keeps weapon and blood stats per weapon type and blood type, so they follow your gear by themselves. While it applies, a progress bar shows each step (class, gear, spells, passives) and fills to the end. Applying a loadout with another class changes it right away with .class c, which costs items (750 of an item by default), so save class-switching loadouts with that in mind. The class and shift spell come from Bloodcraft's Eclipse data, so they're only recorded with Eclipse installed. Jewels aren't included. Saved per character in BepInEx/config/DragUI/loadouts-<character>.json.
• Weapon and blood stats (Bloodcraft). Character → Weapon Stats and Character → Blood Stats show the 12 stats you can pick for the weapon type or blood you have now, as a grid of buttons. Chosen stats are lit and numbered, with their current value; every stat shows its base cap, and the top shows your level and progress. Click a stat to choose it. The window follows when you swap weapon or change blood. Reset stats (.wep rst / .bl rst) clears all the choices for what's equipped, after asking, because the server can charge items for it. Bloodcraft can't remove a single stat, and it doesn't tell clients how many stats are allowed, so the window assumes its default of 3 until the server refuses one. These windows don't need Eclipse. They read Bloodcraft's chat replies, which are hidden, and those replies are in English.
• Cooldown tester. CD Test opens a window that times your skills. Use a weapon skill or spell and its row shows:
  • the unmodified base cooldown and the cooldown the game applied;
  • the measured time until it's ready again (last, and the average of the last 10), plus a live countdown.
  • From base and measured it works out the bonus the result implies under both possible formulas: as rate (base ÷ (1 + bonus)) and as reduction (base × (1 − bonus)). Compare those with the weapon/spell cooldown stat your client shows in the header, and the closer one is how the stat really works.
  • A value in green means the server applies more bonus than your client shows, e.g. Bloodcraft/PerkShop bonuses beyond the 40% cap.
  • A * marks a cooldown that changed while running (reset or shortened).
  • Tracking runs only while the window is open.
• Character sheet. Every combat stat with its value and where it comes from: each piece of gear, set bonus, blood, potion and buff, plus Bloodcraft weapon expertise and blood legacy bonuses. Those are recomputed from the data Bloodcraft sends the Eclipse client (cap × class synergy × (1 + prestige multiplier × prestige) × level / max level), because the server's real values never reach your client. Base / unlisted is what the listed sources don't explain (base stats, gear level). When the game's own number differs (it doesn't know Bloodcraft's bonuses), the sheet shows it as game: …. The header estimates your average hit power including crits. Requires Eclipse for the Bloodcraft part. PerkShop stat perks (bought with .perk statbuy, or admin-granted) are added too: when the sheet opens, the mod sends .perk status, hides the reply and reads your perks from it. Refresh perks re-reads them after you buy one. Like Bloodcraft's, these live in a buff whose real values never reach your client (PerkShop's default carrier, SetBonus_ShieldPowerAndHealingReceived_T08). If a server configures a different carrier, its client copy isn't swapped out. Perk buffs (potions, elixirs, blood buffs, relics) are ordinary game buffs and are listed like any other. Stats a server changes without telling the client can't be shown; the DPS meter still measures them.
• Experience per hour (Bloodcraft). The XP button on the control bar shows your current XP/hour. Click it for the breakdown: one row per prestige level (Prestige 4, or Exo 2 after max prestige) with active time and XP/hour from quests, mobs and V Bloods, plus the total. A prestige or exo starts a new row, and older rows are kept. It reads Bloodcraft's leveling log (+123 experience (45%)), so the log must be on: use Toggle .lvl log in the window (it shows whether the log is on). Those lines are hidden from chat (Experience.HideXpMessages). Classification: a gain arriving with Bloodcraft's "You've been awarded …% of your total experience" is a quest; the biggest gain within a few seconds of a V Blood dying near you is that V Blood; everything else is mobs. Time only counts while you're gaining XP, so a break longer than 5 minutes (Experience.IdleMinutes) doesn't lower the rate. The first time, the mod asks Bloodcraft for your levels (.lvl get, .prestige get exo) with the replies hidden. After that it follows prestige/exo messages; Sync levels asks again. Reset row clears the current row. Saved per character in BepInEx/config/DragUI/xp-<character>.json. Bloodcraft sends no XP lines at max level, so nothing is counted there.
• Teleports (ScarletTeleports). Teleport on the control bar opens a window with three parts. Auto-accept requests: with it On, when someone sends you a teleport request (.stp tpr <you>), the mod sends .stp tpa <name> straight away; if they're in combat (or you're in Dracula's room or a no-teleport zone), it retries every few seconds until the request expires. AutoTeleport.OnlyFrom limits it to certain players. Pending requests: every request waiting for an answer, with a countdown and Accept / Deny, for when auto-accept is off or couldn't take it; those requests also show in the control bar's notification slot (Accept TP: Name 25s, click to accept). My teleports: your personal teleports and the server's, read with .stp ltp (the replies are hidden from chat). Each has Go (.stp tp) and a hotkey button (click it, press a key; Esc cancels, Backspace clears). A key that a familiar or the V Blood list already uses isn't taken: the window says what has it. Personal teleports also have Here, which moves it to where you stand (.stp rtp then .stp stp, keeping its name and hotkey), and x to remove it, both after a prompt. Empty slots up to your limit take a name and Set here. The server only tells you its limit when you reach it, so until then the window shows ScarletTeleports' default of 3 (plus one to try if you have 3); once the server says, the real limit is remembered. Pop out (next to Refresh) opens your teleports as a small window you can keep open while you play: one button per teleport (yours, then the server's) with its hotkey, click to teleport. Drag it by its header; x closes it. It remembers where it was and whether it was open. Hotkeys and the limit are saved per character in BepInEx/config/DragUI/teleports-<character>.json.
• Boss alarm (Noctveil). Open Server Settings → Noctveil on the control bar and click Off to turn the Apex / Prime boss alarm On. The window shows the next boss and the schedule (next one highlighted); Test sound plays the chime. 2 minutes before each boss spawns (BossAlarm.LeadMinutes), giving you time to get out of combat, a soft 4-second chime plays and a TP boss 1:59 notice appears in the control bar's notification slot, counting down to the spawn. Clicking it sends that boss's teleport command (e.g. .stp tp apex, ScarletTeleports). It flashes until the spawn (BossAlarm.FlashMinutes) and stays until 15 minutes after it (ButtonMinutes), unless a newer notice replaces it. If you log in during that window, the notice shows without the chime. Turning the alarm on plays the chime once so you can set the volume. The schedule is BepInEx/config/DragUI/boss-schedule.txt, one boss per line as time | label | command (e.g. 23:00 | Apex Judgement | .stp tp apex). It's written on first run with Noctveil's Apex/Prime rotation; edit it for your server. Times are in your PC's time zone unless BossAlarm.TimeZone says otherwise. The chime plays through Windows, not the game's audio, so the game's volume sliders don't affect it.
• Drag the tracker by its header and windows by their title bars. Positions are saved. Click the tracker's V Blood Hunt header (or its - button) to collapse or expand it.
• Clicking the mod's buttons doesn't make your character attack. Typing in the mod's text box doesn't move your character or cast spells.

How respawn tracking works

A client can't simply read every boss's timer, so the mod combines what the game already sends a normal client:

1. Kills near you. When a V Blood near you dies, the mod sees it die and reads the game's own time of death, so the countdown starts the moment you kill it.
2. Ghosts (exact timers). A dead V Blood leaves a ghost whose buff carries the exact time it respawns. Near a ghost, the countdown becomes exact (no ~).
3. Kill announcements in chat. If the server announces V Blood kills in chat (kill-feed or announcement mods), the countdown starts when the message arrives, even if the kill was across the map. A message counts when it names exactly one V Blood (full name, short name like "Sir Magnus", or a nickname like "Quincy") and contains a kill word such as slain, killed, defeated or beating (e.g. "Congratulation to PlayerName for beating Alpha the White Wolf"). By default only server System messages are read, so a player typing "anyone killed alpha?" doesn't start a timer. "Primal ..." bosses (Bloodcraft) don't count.
4. The server's V Blood list. Every few seconds the mod sends the same GetVBloodPositionsEvent the game's V Blood menu sends. If a boss drops off that list, it died somewhere else, and an estimated countdown starts. The first time you kill a boss, the mod checks whether the server keeps dead bosses on the list, and logs the answer (Calibration: ...).
5. Learning. When the mod sees a boss die and later come back, it remembers how long that took (BepInEx/config/DragUI/respawn-times.txt). Until then it estimates from a per-boss default from community data, or from FallbackRespawnSeconds.

All countdowns run on one local clock; server times are converted once, and invalid values are ignored.

Limits:

• A boss that was already dead when you logged in shows Not listed (or alive, if the server lists dead bosses) until you get near its ghost or it respawns.
• If the server keeps dead bosses on its list and doesn't announce kills in chat, only bosses that die near you get timers.
• Custom world bosses from mods like BloodyBoss reuse V Blood names, so their kill messages also start that V Blood's timer. Turn off ReadChatKills if that's misleading on your server.

Install

DragUI goes on your PC (the game client), not on the server.

• Mod manager (recommended): in r2modman or Thunderstore Mod Manager, pick V Rising, search for DragUI and install it. BepInEx is installed with it. Start the game from the mod manager.
• By hand: install BepInExPack V Rising on the client, then copy DragUI.dll into VRising/BepInEx/plugins.

Updating from VBloodHunter: DragUI was formerly VBloodHunter. Remove the old VBloodHunter plugin folder. Your settings (nezoic.VBloodHunter.cfg) and data folder (BepInEx/config/VBloodHunter) are carried over automatically on the first launch.
