Critical warnings

Important

BepInEx 5 (x64) required - install BepInEx before this mod.

Warning

Flight controls required - inactive in map selection, encyclopedia, or TV camera; requires flightControlsEnabled and local aircraft as camera target.

Note

Hold key is config-only - not integrated into the game's Rewired keybind screen (default V via Configuration Manager).

Install

Important

BepInEx 5 (x64) required - install BepInEx before this mod.

1. Get MissileHoldCam_Engine.dll from Releases or build Release yourself.
2. Copy it into Nuclear Option\BepInEx\plugins\ (create the folder if needed).

Configuration

• File: BepInEx\config\com.at747.missileholdcam.cfg
• General.HoldKey: KeyCode to hold (default V). Set via Configuration Manager or edit the cfg.
• General.PostExplosionHoldSeconds: seconds to wait after the missile is gone before restoring your aircraft camera (default 1; uses unscaled time). 0 = old instant behavior.
• This is not integrated into Nuclear Option’s own keybind screen (that would require Rewired/UI work).

Behavior notes

• Only runs in SinglePlayer / Multiplayer with flightControlsEnabled, and not in map selection, encyclopedia, or TV camera states.
• Your camera follow target before holding must be your local aircraft (GameManager.IsLocalAircraft).
• Which missile: the most recently registered active missile owned by you (salvo: last in the volley).
• If the missile is destroyed while holding, the mod restores your saved aircraft view.
• Subscribes to onRegisterMissile / onDeregisterMissile on the local Aircraft (see Unit in game assemblies).

Repository layout

Path	Purpose
MissileHoldCam_Engine/	Plugin source and .csproj
AGENT_CONTEXT.md	Maintainer / AI session notes (design + reverse-engineering context)
Directory.Build.props	Default game install path for references
Directory.Build.user.props.example	Template for a custom game path (gitignored copy: Directory.Build.user.props)

Manual test checklist

1. Cockpit → launch missile → hold key → orbit on missile; release → cockpit again.
2. Repeat from chase / external orbit around your plane.
3. Hold until missile hits → camera should return to saved mode.
4. Release key before launch / no missiles → no camera snap.
5. Pause / menu (flightControlsEnabled false) → effect stops; release does not fight paused state.
6. Disable mod in config → unload or toggle Enabled; no stuck camera (plugin restores on disable/destroy).
