Outpost Range Preview

Outpost Range Preview

See an outpost's range on the ground before you place it. While you are positioning a new outpost, a coloured ring is projected onto the terrain at the outpost's exact range, so you can line up coverage and avoid gaps and overlaps without guessing.

Features

• []Shows the outpost's real range as a ground ring while the build ghost is active.[/]

  []The ring is a terrain-projected decal, so it drapes over hills and stays visible from low ground.[/]

  []Only appears while placing an outpost; hidden the rest of the time.[/]

  []Fully configurable: colour, opacity, and projection depth.[/]

  []Visual only and client-side. No gameplay changes.[/]

  Requirements

  • []BepInEx (IL2CPP) for ASKA - the BepInExPack IL2CPP build. Install that first. Get the IL2CPP x64 pack, not the Mono one.[/]

    Installation

    • []Install the BepInEx IL2CPP pack for ASKA and run the game once so BepInEx finishes setting up.[/]

      []Copy OutpostRangePreview.dll into ...\ASKA\BepInEx\plugins\.[/]

      []Launch the game and start placing an outpost. The range ring appears on the ground.[/]

      Configuration

      A config file is generated on first launch at ...\ASKA\BepInEx\config\outpostrangepreview.cfg

      • []Enabled (default: true) - Turn the range ring on or off.[/]

        []RangeColor (default: #00E5FF) - Ring colour as a hex string. Colours that stand out on grass/dirt: cyan #00E5FF, magenta #FF14C8, red-orange #FF3B00, lime #7CFF00.[/]

        []Opacity (default: 0. 9) - How strong the ring appears, 0 (invisible) to 1 (full).[/]

        []ProjectionDepth (default: 80) - Vertical range in metres the ring projects over, to cover hilly ground. Raise it if the ring clips on very steep terrain.[/]

      Changes take effect the next time you open the build placer (or restart the game).

      Compatibility

      • []No known conflicts with other mods.[/]

        Notes

        The ring tints the ground rather than glowing, so in deep shadow it is a little softer. A bright colour at full opacity reads best.
