Afterimages

NOTE: IF YOU ARE MIGRATING FROM 1.0.0 TO THE NEWEST VERSION, REMEMBER TO CLEAR YOUR CONFIG

[rw]Afterimages

A BepInEx plugin for Bomb Rush Cyberfunk that adds customizable afterimage effects for various player movement states.

Features

• Afterimage trails for different player abilities and states
• Highly configurable, so you can choose the gradients, fade speeds, and intervals for every state!
• Support for texture-based gradients!
• Separate settings for:
• Boosting
• Ground tricks and boost tricks
• Air tricks and boost tricks
• Slide states (normal, slope, super)
• Air dash
• Grind states (normal, tricks, boost tricks, cornering)
• AND MORE!

Configuration

The mod creates a configuration file at BepInEx/config/rewind.rwafterimages.cfg with settings for each afterimage type and a corresponding folder. Put gradient textures (e.g. PNGs) and your own .shaderbundle files in BepInEx/config/rewind.rwafterimages/.

Settings

Each movement state has the following configurable options:

• Enabled: Enable/disable afterimages for this state
• ShaderName: Shader to render the afterimages with (see Shaders). Defaults to Afterimage/Default
• GradientTextureFile: Gradient image the shader can use to color the afterimage (defaults to Default.png). Looked up in the config folder, then the plugin's gradients folder
• FadeSpeed: Fade curve exponent. Values above 1 fade faster at first; values below 1 fade slower.
• Interval: Time between spawning afterimages
• Lifetime: How long each afterimage lasts
• Priority: Higher priority styles override lower ones

• Speed state: The Speed state activates when movement exceeds ActivationSpeed (default 16 u/s)

Optimization > MaxAfterimages limits the number of active afterimages (default 500). When the limit is reached, the oldest afterimage is removed first. For additional cleanup, enable Optimization > CullOffscreenAfterimages to immediately destroy afterimages outside the main camera's view. This option is disabled by default.

Shaders

Every afterimage is drawn by a shader that controls its whole look. Each shader's own settings show up in the config (and the Configuration Manager menu) under Shader: ... and any number of custom shader bundles (*.shaderbundle) can be loaded at once.

Troubleshooting

No Afterimages Appearing

• Check that the desired state is enabled in the config
• Check that GradientTextureFile (if set) exists in the config folder or the plugin's gradients folder

Custom Shader Not Showing Up

• Look for [ShaderManager] lines in BepInEx/LogOutput.log

Performance Issues

• Increase the Interval values to spawn fewer afterimages
• Decrease Lifetime to make them disappear faster
• Lower the afterimage limit
• Turn on CullOffscreenAfterimages
