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: Sets DHCP mode per configuration (boot_dhcp by default)
• Floor-Based Addressing: Assigns predictable network addresses based on floor number and user count
  • Format is configurable, default: @f<floor>/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: Configures a floor-specific primary DNS plus two fallback DNS servers

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 (default: boot_dhcp)
6. Configures DNS servers: floor-specific primary, then two configurable fallbacks

Limitations#

Hardware (MAC) Addresses: The mod API does not expose any method to set or refresh hardware addresses. Hardware addresses are assigned by the game engine and cannot be controlled by mods.

Phone / CCTV Devices: Phones and CCTVs are fixture outlets (DeviceOutlet/PoweredDeviceOutlet) instantiated by MultiplayerSpawner nodes in the scene tree. They are not accessible via the Lua mod API — there is no on_fixture_spawned callback and no API method to enumerate them.

Installation#

1. Copy the user-floor-addressing folder to your mods/ 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

DNS Configuration#

DNS servers are set using a Godot Array. By default:

• Floor-specific: @f<floor>/dns
• Fallback 1: @srv/dns1
• Fallback 2: @srv/dns2

All three are configurable via format strings.

Address Format#

Addresses use a configurable printf-style format with two %d placeholders (floor number, user increment). Default: @f%d/usr%d.

Compatibility#

• Tested with game version: 0.10.11+
• Compatible with other mods that don’t modify user network settings
• Works alongside device modification mods and reward scaling mods (e.g. floor-reward-scaling)

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