VRates

VRates

VRates is a managed-only BepInEx 6 IL2CPP mod for V Rising that extends common server rates and costs beyond the normal game-setting limits.

VRates v1.0.0 exposes 10 independently configurable settings.

Rate/speed defaults are x10. Cost defaults remain x1 (vanilla).

Configuration

On first server/host launch, VRates creates:

BepInEx/config/VRates.cfg

Default configuration:

[Rates]
HarvestMultiplier = 10
LootMultiplier = 10
MissionLootMultiplier = 10
StygianShardMultiplier = 10
BloodEssenceMultiplier = 10
CraftSpeedMultiplier = 10
RefinementSpeedMultiplier = 10

RecipeCostMultiplier = 1
RefinementCostMultiplier = 1
BuildCostMultiplier = 1

Restart the server/host after changing the file.

Cost multiplier examples

2.0 = approximately double material cost

The mod accepts positive values from 0.01 up to 65504.

Intentionally not modified

VRates does not modify:

InventoryStacksModifier

Inventory stack size remains the responsibility of VStacks.

Compatibility with VStacks

VRates works by itself or together with VStacks 1.0.1+.

When VStacks is installed:

1. BepInEx loads VStacks first because VRates declares it as a soft dependency.
2. VStacks owns the single native SettingsClamp::Half detour.
3. VRates registers all 10 exact supported setting names with VStacks.
4. VRates does not install a second native detour.

When VStacks is absent, VRates installs its own standalone SettingsClamp::Half hook.

If VStacks 1.0.0 is detected, VRates refuses to install a competing native hook and asks for VStacks 1.0.1+.

Installation

VRates is intended to be server-side.

Dedicated server

Install:

BepInEx/plugins/VRates/VRates.dll

Start the server once, then edit:

BepInEx/config/VRates.cfg

Restart after changes.

Clients do not need VRates installed.

Host & Play

Install VRates into the host's BepInEx environment.

Implementation

When running standalone, VRates:

1. locates the current SettingsClamp::Half implementation in GameAssembly.dll using a fail-closed executable signature;
2. installs one managed BepInEx INativeDetour;
3. compares the IL2CPP field name against the 10 supported setting names;
4. substitutes the configured value only for an exact match;
5. passes every unrelated setting through unchanged.

When VStacks 1.0.1+ is present, VRates registers those exact names through VStacks' cooperative hook API instead.

VRates contains no custom native DLL, MinHook, or proxy DLL.
