YAPYAP Expanded 1.0.0

More magic, stranger physics and more ways to build your character. YAPYAP Expanded adds three new staffs with ten spells, three extra spells for original wands, merchant upgrades, classes, wand properties and special nights.

Multiplayer testing remains incomplete. All players must install the same version; the host's gameplay settings apply to the session. Please report multiplayer issues using the contact below.

New in this release: reworked monster spawning

Enemy spawning now progresses with the number of nights played. Early nights have fewer monsters and lower-tier types; later nights allow more active enemies and gradually introduce rarer types. Completing quotas still affects score progression.

• More monsters over time: the active dungeon-monster limit starts at 6, increases by 1 per night and stops at 16 by default.
• Gradual access to rarer types: tier 1 is available initially, tier 2 opens on night 3, tier 3 on night 5, and another tier opens every two nights by default.
• Newly unlocked rare monsters start uncommon: they begin at 25% of their native selection weight and gain 10 percentage points per subsequent night until full weight. These are relative weights, not absolute spawn chances.
• More frequent spawn attempts: the interval starts at 20 seconds and drops by one second per night to a minimum of 8 seconds by default.
• Original monster behaviour: removed the mod's global despawn-time/distance overrides, forced spawn-point fallback and per-type cooldown reset. The original game handles targeting, chasing, patrolling and returning after aggro; temporary spell effects retain their existing cleanup.
• These settings are host-configurable. Existing custom settings and saves are preserved. The active-monster limit is a capacity limit, not a promise to fill every level immediately.

This release also includes the native volumetric fog-night fix and the destroyed hitbox-owner guard.

New staffs and spells

Buy the new staffs from the normal merchant stock. Their names, icons and spells are their own; the native grimoire shows the available incantations for your selected spell language.

Frost Staff

• Freeze — freezes a player or monster for ten seconds. A fire-wand hit thaws the target and deals additional damage. Freeze has one charge.
• Ice Rink — creates a slippery area where players, creatures and props keep sliding with their momentum.
• Iceberg — raises a temporary, climbable iceberg. Its emergence damages and launches nearby targets.

Staff of Fortune

• Multiplier — rolls a die on a supported prop or monster. A roll of 1 destroys the target for score; 2–6 create that total number of targets, including the original. Copies are temporary. Each original can be multiplied only once, and copies cannot be multiplied again or sold. Prop copies award one quarter of the final destruction score, rounded down; monster copies award the original monster's full reward.
• Random Score Multiplier — temporarily grants a random destruction/kill score multiplier, normally between ×1.5 and ×6. It does not multiply shop gold, damage or quest rewards.
• Lucky Break — prepares a random response to the next incoming attack: damage cancellation, reflection, an escape, a speed bonus or failure. Luck is not guaranteed.

Reality Staff

• Reverse Gravity — creates a field following the caster that turns gravity upward for affected players, monsters and props.
• Randomize — transforms a supported target into a random prop or monster. Players temporarily control their new form; some non-player transformations are permanent. Generated forms do not provide gold or score.
• Portal — two casts place linked surface portals. Players, monsters and props can pass through while carrying their momentum.
• Anchor — records a safe return point. Cast again to recall while it is armed; its protection can also recall you from lethal damage with 1 HP and your inventory intact.

Extra spells for original wands

• Wind: VACUUM — creates a sphere that continuously pulls in physical props and damages them.
• Grotesque: FISH RAIN — rains physical fish into an area, with a rare giant fish that can act as a moving platform.
• Telekinesis: ORBIT — holds up to eight eligible nearby objects in a low orbit by default. While the effect lasts, moving near more objects fills empty slots; broken or released objects free space for replacements.

These are thirteen additional spells in total. The original game's other spells remain available. Values marked as defaults can be changed by the host's configuration.

Merchant, progression and nights

• Spend team gold on your own health, speed, inventory, stamina and shield upgrades.
• Choose one class: Mage, Scout, Heavyweight or Scavenger. Each offers a different combination of benefits and trade-offs. Class selection and reset are in the Classes tab.
• Wands can have fourteen positive or negative properties. Reforging changes a compatible property on that particular wand.
• Expensive wands are rarer in free loot. Rejected wand drops are replaced with an eligible wand rather than leaving an empty crate.
• Enemy counts and rarer types now progress each night. Higher tiers unlock gradually and start with reduced selection weights; quota-based score scaling is retained. Do not run a separate Scale Boost plugin alongside Expanded.
• Special nights default to a 60% chance: fog, unstable magic, heavy gravity, a fish apocalypse or a hunt. Heavy Gravity has a lower default weight, and consecutive special types do not repeat while another enabled type is available.
• Larger team purchases can require a vote. Waiting for that vote is expected behaviour.

Fog night fix

• Fog nights now use the game's native volumetric fog renderer, so the modifier can visibly reduce view distance. The previous implementation changed legacy fog settings that the game renderer did not use.
• The effect lasts for the active fog night, including for joining clients. Its own temporary volume is removed and camera settings are restored when the night ends, the scene/camera changes or the player disconnects.
• Hunt increases monster movement speed by 20% and grants 40 extra team gold for meeting the quota, by default. Unstable Magic varies spell strength by up to ±12%, by default. These values and night selection probabilities are unchanged.
• Added a destroyed-owner check for hitboxes to prevent the repeated owner-access exceptions seen in the supplied log.

Rendering in a live game, host/client fog consistency and performance still need player testing. Please report a missing or stuck fog effect with the night name and logs from the host and affected client. Telegram: @livintonus.

Отрисовку в игре, совпадение тумана у хоста и клиентов и производительность ещё нужно проверить в игре. Если тумана нет или он не исчезает, укажите название ночи и приложите логи хоста и затронутого клиента. Telegram: @livintonus.

If a monster still fails to return after losing aggro, please report the monster type and whether it happened without using Freeze, Portal, Iceberg or Randomize. Telegram: @livintonus.

Если монстр всё ещё не возвращается после потери агрессии, укажите его тип и происходит ли это без заморозки, порталов, айсберга или превращения. Telegram: @livintonus.

Changes in 1.0.0

• Fixed fog nights to use native volumetric fog and added cleanup across night/camera/session changes.

• Guarded hitbox owner access after Unity destroys the owner.

• Spawn fix: gradual night-based enemy counts, tier unlocks and rare-enemy selection weights.

• Restored the native NPC spawn/despawn lifecycle instead of inherited Scale Boost overrides.

• Added the Reality Staff and its four gravity, transformation, portal and return-point spells.

• Reworked Frost and Fortune into their current three-spell sets; kept three extra spells for original wands.

• Fixed Multiplier target handling, limited each source to one multiplication and restored differentiated copy rewards: quarter score for props, full reward for monsters.

• Improved score-multiplier feedback and stopped multiplier labels from overlapping.

• Fixed rejected wand loot leaving empty crates.

• Restored the earlier merchant visual style, improved the Classes tab and changed the purchased-class label to Class already chosen.

• Corrected extra inventory slot numbers and added their outlines.

• Improved ice effects and matched extra-spell charge bars to their original wand's native UI palette.

• Improved ORBIT: more objects, a lower flight height and continuous collection into available slots.

• Increased default special-night frequency, reduced Heavy Gravity's selection weight and avoided consecutive repeats where possible.

• Preserved native grimoire interaction and PS/Xbox support. Removed obsolete custom spellbook/controller menu paths, improved duplicate-device handling and refreshed stale native controller hints.

• Added exact purchase and sale prices in coins for each item. Every upgrade level and class also has its own configurable purchase price. Existing settings are preserved.

• Switched to a neutral plugin/config identity and removed personal author identifiers from the current release.

• Replaced the package's Fortune wand icon with the Frost Staff icon.

Controls and languages

• F4 near the merchant — open the Expanded shop.
• D-pad Up + A / Cross near the merchant — open the Expanded shop with a controller.
• Grimoire — use the original game's interaction. The mod does not add an F5 spellbook binding.

Russian and English UI are supported. Spoken commands follow the spell language selected in the game; read the incantations in the native grimoire. Normal gameplay controls and controller button icons remain the game's responsibility.

Multiplayer warning

Multiplayer, late joining and reconnecting have not received complete test coverage. A working local session does not guarantee that every host/client combination is free of bugs. Possible issues to watch for include:

• Effects not matching between players: freeze/thaw, ice surfaces, gravity fields, transformations or portal state may appear late or disagree, especially after joining or reconnecting.
• Physics or NPC problems: portal travel, upward gravity, copied monsters and many moving props may produce rubber-banding, collision differences, stuck navigation or client-only visual errors.
• Merchant/progression differences: simultaneous purchases, team votes, class changes, shield values or extra inventory slots may fail to update consistently for every player.
• Score and reward mismatches: a popup or a client's displayed score may disagree with the host, including rewards from copied props or monsters.
• State after death, scene changes or disconnects: held wands, wand properties, inventory or temporary effects may fail to restore or clear correctly.
• Missing custom content or performance drops: late joiners may see missing staff/book information or effects; crowded physics scenes may perform differently for the host and clients.

These are possible failure areas requiring more testing, not promises that they occur in every session.

Please report multiplayer bugs to @livintonus on Telegram rather than assuming they are normal.

Пожалуйста, сообщайте об ошибках в мультиплеере в Telegram: @livintonus — не считайте их нормальным поведением мода.

For a useful report, include:

1. The exact mod version, game version and other installed mods.
2. Whether you were the host or a client, how many players were present, and whether anyone joined late or reconnected.
3. The wand/spell or shop action involved, what you expected and what actually happened, plus steps to reproduce it.
4. BepInEx/LogOutput.log from the host and the affected client if possible; screenshots or a short recording also help.

Installation and updating

Requires BepInEx 5. The Thunderstore package declares BepInEx-BepInExPack-5.4.2305 as its dependency.

• Mod manager: import or install the supplied Thunderstore ZIP and use the same package version for the whole group.
• Manual: close the game and place the complete YAPYAPExpanded runtime folder under BepInEx/plugins. Keep its yapyapexpanded resource bundle, icons and VisualAssets folders beside YAPYAPExpanded.dll.
• When switching from a manual installation to a mod-manager profile, remove the extra active copy of the plugin. Do not load two copies of Expanded or a separate Scale Boost plugin.
• Preserve your saves and CFG. Upgrade the runtime files together; do not mix files from different releases.

Configuration is in BepInEx/config/com.yapyapexpanded.mod.cfg. A previous Expanded CFG is migrated when appropriate; existing settings are retained. Item prices appear as actual coin amounts under ItemPrices.<ID> after their content loads, with ItemName, PurchasePrice and SellPrice. Edit with the game closed and restart. Host settings are synchronized without replacing guests' local settings files.

The package is labelled 1.0.0.
