A BepInEx plugin for Cold Waters providing a more challenging experience
COLD WATERS: HARDMODE Developed by HobbitJack Version: 1.0.0
This plugin is a difficulty modifier for Cold Waters. It is designed for advanced players seeking a realistic experience above and beyond that found by default in the game. Even though this is a difficulty plug-in, it is designed for use on the Realistic config setting, due to Elite adversly affecting vessel stats and sensor comparisons. Due to using BepInEx/Harmony, it is theoretically possible that this plugin will work as an add-on for any mod of your choosing, however please note that it has only been tested with DotMod and the base game.
Features:
- Disables 3D view, except for periscope (and pause menu, but we can pretend that works just fine)
- Disables autoclassification of vessels, regardless of difficulty setting
- Game will display the type of a torpedo when the icon is clicked on the map
- Game will inform the player of hits on enemy vessels
Installation:
- Download BepInEx V5.4.21x86 from the BepInEx GitHub page: https://github.com/BepInEx/BepInEx/releases/download/v5.4.21/BepInEx_x86_5.4.21.0.zip
- Extract all items except the changelog to your Cold Waters directory (i.e. the BepInEx folder should be next to ColdWaters_Data)
- Run the game. You should get a black screen.
- Go to BepInEx/config/BepInEx.cfg, and under [Entry.Preloader], find Type = Application, and change that to Type = MonoBehaviour.
- Run the game. It should launch normally.
- Copy the CWHardmode.dll to BepInEx/plugins.
- Launch the game. The plugin should be properly installed.
Note that this is a first version of this release; any issues found should be reported directly to HobbitJack.
Have fun!
