Mod updater

using BepInEx;
using BepInEx.Unity.IL2CPP;
using AmongUsSpecimen;
using AmongUsSpecimen.Updater;

namespace SpecimenDemo;

[BepInPlugin(Guid, Name, Version)]
[BepInDependency(Specimen.Guid)]
[ModUpdater("EnoPM", "Specimen", Version, "DemoPlugin.dll")]
public class DemoPlugin : BasePlugin
{
    private const string Guid = "demo.specimen.eno.pm";
    private const string Name = "DemoSpecimen";
    private const string Version = "0.0.1";
    
    public override void Load()
    {
        // Plugin startup logic
        Log.LogInfo($"Plugin {Name} is loaded!");
    }
}

Custom cosmetics

using BepInEx;
using BepInEx.Unity.IL2CPP;
using AmongUsSpecimen;
using AmongUsSpecimen.Cosmetics;

namespace SpecimenDemo;

[BepInPlugin(Guid, Name, Version)]
[BepInDependency(Specimen.Guid)]
[CustomCosmetics("EnoPM/BetterOtherHats", "CustomHats.json")]
public class DemoPlugin : BasePlugin
{
    private const string Guid = "demo.specimen.eno.pm";
    private const string Name = "DemoSpecimen";
    private const string Version = "0.0.1";
    
    public override void Load()
    {
        // Plugin startup logic
        Log.LogInfo($"Plugin {Name} is loaded!");
    }
}

Custom regions

using BepInEx;
using BepInEx.Unity.IL2CPP;
using AmongUsSpecimen;

namespace SpecimenDemo;

[BepInPlugin(Guid, Name, Version)]
[BepInDependency(Specimen.Guid)]
[CustomRegion("Specimen Europe", "specimen.example.com", "https://specimen.example.com", color: "#ff00ff")]
public class DemoPlugin : BasePlugin
{
    private const string Guid = "demo.specimen.eno.pm";
    private const string Name = "DemoSpecimen";
    private const string Version = "0.0.1";
    
    public override void Load()
    {
        // Plugin startup logic
        Log.LogInfo($"Plugin {Name} is loaded!");
    }
}

Custom RPCs

using BepInEx;
using BepInEx.Unity.IL2CPP;
using AmongUsSpecimen;

namespace SpecimenDemo;

[BepInPlugin(Guid, Name, Version)]
[BepInDependency(Specimen.Guid)]
public class DemoPlugin : BasePlugin
{
    private const string Guid = "demo.specimen.eno.pm";
    private const string Name = "DemoSpecimen";
    private const string Version = "0.0.1";
    
    public override void Load()
    {
        // Plugin startup logic
        Log.LogInfo($"Plugin {Name} is loaded!");
    }

    [Rpc]
    public static void RpcKillPlayer(PlayerControl __sender, PlayerControl target)
    {
        __sender.MurderPlayer(target, MurderResultFlags.Succeeded);
    }
}

When the DemoPlugin.RpcKillPlayer(PlayerControl.LocalPlayer, target) method is called an rpc call will be made and the method will be called on the other clients with the same arguments.

Custom RPCs also work with extensions and this simplifies their use.

using AmongUsSpecimen;
using UnityEngine;

namespace SpecimenDemo;

public static class PlayerControlExtensions
{
    [Rpc]
    public static void RpcKillPlayer(this PlayerControl __sender, PlayerControl target)
    {
        __sender.MurderPlayer(target, MurderResultFlags.Succeeded);
    }

    [Rpc]
    public static void RpcSetNameColor(this PlayerControl __sender, Color color)
    {
        __sender.cosmetics.nameText.color = color;
    }
}

PlayerControl.LocalPlayer.RpcSetNameColor(Color.green) will change the color of the player's nickname and share this change with other players.
