• Target filtering for airborne targets with minimum movement speed.
• Anti-cheat style behavior:
  • marker requires active observation,
  • short hold window uses frozen last-known state,
  • no live tracking through lost visibility.
• Delayed marker appearance with damped blink settle effect.
• Live color sampling from HUD theme, hold color for lost target state.
• Configurable behavior through BepInEx config file.

Requirements

• Nuclear Option (Steam)
• BepInEx 5 installed for the game
• .NET Framework 4.8 (for local build environment)
• Visual Studio (for source build)

Install (prebuilt DLL)

Important

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

1. Download release package from GitHub Releases.

2. Extract VectoringTargetHUD_Engine.dll.

3. Copy it to:

   Nuclear Option\BepInEx\plugins\

4. Launch the game once to generate/update config.

Config location

Plugin config is stored at:

Nuclear Option\BepInEx\config\com.at747.nuclearoption.vectoringtargethud.cfg

Build from source

1. Open VectoringTargetHUD_Engine.slnx in Visual Studio.
2. Ensure reference paths in VectoringTargetHUD_Engine.csproj match your local game install.
3. Build Release.
4. Use bin\Release\VectoringTargetHUD_Engine.dll.

Notes on project references

This project uses local reference paths to game assemblies and BepInEx core files, for example:

• NuclearOption_Data\Managed\Assembly-CSharp.dll
• NuclearOption_Data\Managed\UnityEngine*.dll
• BepInEx\core\BepInEx.dll
• BepInEx\core\0Harmony.dll

If your game is installed in a different location, update HintPath entries in VectoringTargetHUD_Engine.csproj.

Known limitations

• Marker visualization depends on target tracking state provided by game systems.
• HUD colors can vary by game mode/cockpit HUD implementation.
• Config values from previous versions may override new defaults until edited manually.
