Using Mod Manager (Recommended)#

1. Download the Mod Manager
2. Find User Floor-Based Addressing in the Available mods list
3. Click Download to install automatically
4. Configure parameters in the GUI

Manual Installation#

1. Download the zip file above
2. Extract the user-floor-addressing/ folder to your mods directory:
   • Windows: %APPDATA%\Godot\app_userdata\Tower Networking Inc\mods\
   • Linux: ~/.local/share/godot/app_userdata/Tower Networking Inc/mods/
3. Ensure luajit.elf is in the mods directory

User Floor-Based Addressing Mod#

This mod automatically configures network settings for users when they spawn in the game.

Features#

• DHCP Configuration: Automatically sets DHCP to “boot_dhcp” mode (DHCP on boot)
• Floor-Based Addressing: Assigns predictable network addresses based on floor number and user count
  • Format: f<floor_num>/usr<increment>
  • Example: User #5 on floor 3 gets address f3/usr5
  • Example: User #1 on floor 10 gets address f10/usr1
• Automatic DNS Setup: All users automatically get DNS servers configured as @f0/dns1, @f0/dns2, @f0/dns3

How It Works#

The mod hooks into the on_user_spawned callback, triggered whenever a new user is created:

1. Retrieves the user’s logic controller and network control module
2. Gets the floor number from the user’s location
3. Maintains a counter of users per floor
4. Generates a predictable network address based on floor and user count
5. Sets DHCP mode to “boot_dhcp”
6. Configures DNS servers to floor 0 DNS (@f0/dns1, @f0/dns2, @f0/dns3)

Limitations#

Hardware Addresses: Hardware addresses are randomly generated by the game’s RNG during device creation and cannot be controlled by mods. The mod API does not provide methods to set or modify hardware addresses. This is a game engine limitation.

Installation#

1. Copy the user-floor-addressing folder to your lua/ directory
2. The mod will be automatically loaded when the game starts
3. Press F11 to reload the mod without restarting the game

Technical Details#

DHCP Modes#

The game supports three DHCP modes:

• "disabled" - DHCP disabled, manual configuration required
• "boot_dhcp" - Request DHCP address on boot
• "periodic_dhcp" - Periodically request DHCP updates

This mod uses "boot_dhcp" for reliable automatic configuration on user creation.

DNS Configuration#

DNS servers are set using a Godot Array containing the addresses:

• @f0/dns1
• @f0/dns2
• @f0/dns3

Address Format#

Addresses follow the pattern f<floor>/usr<count> where:

• floor is the floor number from the location
• count is an auto-incrementing counter per floor starting at 1

Compatibility#

• Tested with game version: beta
• Compatible with other mods that don’t modify user network settings
• Works alongside device modification mods and reward scaling mods (like floor-reward-scaling)

DHCP modes available: “disabled”, “boot_dhcp”, “periodic_dhcp”. Uses on_user_spawned hook.
