More Orders

More Orders

More orders, less micromanagement.

Expand Barotrauma's active order limit from 3 to 6 orders per character, giving you greater control over your crew's responsibilities.

With the addition of Order Broadcasting in version 1.2.0, you can also issue, reprioritize, and dismiss orders across your crew with a single modifier key.

Features

• Expanded Order Limit — Assign up to 6 active orders per character instead of the vanilla limit of 3.

• Order Broadcasting — Issue the same order to your entire eligible crew simultaneously.

• Broadcast Reprioritization — Adjust existing order priorities across multiple characters without creating duplicate or unintended orders.

• Broadcast Dismissal — Dismiss orders across your crew without managing each character individually.

• Dynamic Order Icon Scaling — Automatically adjusts the order UI to accommodate additional orders. Static scaling is also available in the mod settings.

• Multiplayer Permissions — Control who can broadcast orders and configure rate limits to prevent abuse.

Order Broadcasting — Version 1.2.0

Hold the broadcast modifier key (default: Left Alt) while issuing an order to broadcast that command to your crew.

The modifier also works when reprioritizing or dismissing orders, allowing you to manage multiple crew members at once.

Important: Broadcast reprioritization only affects characters who already have the corresponding order. It does not assign new orders to characters who lack them.

Multiplayer Controls

In multiplayer, broadcasting is managed through server-side permissions and configurable rate limits.

• Server owners and players with appropriate console permissions can broadcast without being explicitly added to the permission list.

• Other players can be granted or denied broadcasting privileges.

• A configurable cooldown limits how frequently each player can broadcast orders.

• Configuration changes are saved and persist across server restarts.

Console Commands

mo_broadcast_list Displays the current broadcast configuration, rate limit, and permitted players.

mo_broadcast_add Grants a player broadcast permission using their client name or account ID.

mo_broadcast_remove Revokes a player's broadcast permission.

mo_broadcast_setlimit Sets the minimum interval between accepted broadcasts per player. Defaults to 1 second. Set to 0 to disable rate limiting.

mo_broadcast_enable Enables server-side order broadcasting.

mo_broadcast_disable Disables server-side broadcasting without affecting normal order functionality.

Command Notes

• Commands can be entered through the server console or by clients with the appropriate console-command permissions.

• Player names containing spaces must be enclosed in quotation marks. Example: mo_broadcast_add "Player Name"

• Server broadcast settings do not affect broadcasting in singleplayer.

Installation & Requirements

Required Dependencies:

• LuaCsForBarotrauma

• Cs For Barotrauma

Important: LuaCsForBarotrauma must be properly installed, and C# scripting must be enabled in its settings for this mod to function.

Follow the installation instructions on the LuaCsForBarotrauma Workshop page. Simply subscribing to the dependency may not be sufficient.

Multiplayer Compatibility

More Orders is designed primarily for singleplayer but should also work in multiplayer, provided that the server host and all connected players have the mod installed.

Multiplayer compatibility is not guaranteed across all configurations. Please report any problems encountered.

Order Icon Scaling

The mod supports dynamic scaling of order icons to accommodate additional orders in the interface.

If you prefer the original appearance from version 1.0.0, enable Static Order Icon Scaling in the mod settings to restore the previous scaling behavior.

Feedback & Bug Reports

If you encounter issues, please use the Bug Reports/Suggestions Workshop discussion.

Include a description of the problem, whether you are playing in singleplayer or multiplayer, and any relevant error messages or reproduction steps.
