Descenders SandBox 1.9.0

Full minor bump since v1.8.0 — headline mode, Object Placer persistence, Mod Chat overhaul, and a big map-change stability pass.

NEW: The Floor Is Lava

Race a rising lava plane to the map summit.

• Teleports you to a low inland spawn (not the map rim)
• 5-second countdown, then GO
• Lava arms after climbing 10m above spawn
• Four difficulties: Easy (140s), Normal (90s), Hard (60s), Insane (32s) — rise rate scales to each map's height
• Per-map height records saved across sessions
• Full in-game HUD: countdown, climb progress, summit distance, caught/summit screens
• Available in Modes, Favourites, Key Binds ("The floor is LAVA"), and All Mods Switch
• Pausing with All Mods OFF now resumes your run instead of restarting it

Object Placer — Favourites That Travel With You

• Starred map objects persist across maps and restarts
• Saved under UserData/DescendersModMenu/ObjectPlacerFavs/
• Clear Library keeps your favourites ("Library cleared (favourites kept)")
• New Camera Distance slider (5m–80m) — adjust with mouse scroll or +/- while placing

Mod Chat 2.0

• Unread message badge on the Chat tab
• Message limit raised from 120 → 300 characters
• Multi-line input with bubble-style message layout
• Chat history no longer wipes on Photon room-name flicker
• Chat clears on map change

Session Tab Cleanup

• Jump to Finish and Skip Song moved from Other → Session

Stability & Bug Fixes

Map-change stability pass — new UnityNull.Alive() helper applied across 50+ files to fix Unity "fake null" crashes after map/session changes. Notable fixes for:

• Menu UI, Ghost Replay, Modes pages, Chat
• Bike mods (FOV, Brake Fade, Bike Damage, Bike Torch, Hover Mode, etc.)
• Police Chase, ESP, Sky Colours storm/rain, Invisible Bike/Player

Other fixes:

• Session Top Speed reset no longer wipes your saved all-time PB
• RESET properly clears Lava Rising records in both memory and save file
• Save/Load now includes Compass, Spectate Mode, Screenshot Mode, and Rubber Band Steering
• Mode hotkeys refresh the Modes page UI
• F6 won't double-fire if you've bound another mod to F6
• Career rep multipliers extended to ×200
• Quieter BikeSwitcher logs in menus/lobby

Requirements

• Descenders (Steam or Xbox PC / Game Pass)
• MelonLoader 0.5.7

Installation

1. Download DescendersSandbox.dll from this release
2. Drop it into your Descenders/Mods/ folder
3. Launch the game and press F6 (or D-Pad Down on controller) to open the menu

If updating from an older version, delete any previous DescendersModMenu.dll, DescendersToolKit.dll, or old DescendersSandbox.dll from your Mods folder first.

Descenders SandBox 1.8.0

v1.8.0

✨ Added

• Spider Bike — ride on walls and ceilings with sticky grip
• Black Death — darker, heavier visual vibe for grim sessions
• Disco Torch / Disco Mode — party lighting on the bike and world
• Multiplayer Race menu lock — Sandbox menu stays closed during multiplayer races
• Graphics options — Shadows, Soft Particles, and Anti-Aliasing cycles
• Wind Power dial (1–10) for Turbo Wind
• Voltage colour scheme (replaces Inferno) — neon yellow menu theme
• Career as its own bottom nav tab, with a confirm step before unlocking tab
• Info and Customise split into separate tabs (System / Hotkeys / Version vs colour schemes)
• Sidebar ▲ hint when you're scrolled to the bottom and more tabs are above
• Version Update Check on the Info tab

🔄 Changed

• Menu tabs reshuffled for clearer layout; favourites rows are more compact
• Header (title / SAVE / LOAD / RESET) sits tighter at the top of the menu
• Favourites "Remove All" and Object Placer "Reset" use cleaner bare buttons (no full-width pill shape)
• Favourites slider tracks stay transparent so colour schemes look right on ON rows
• Turbo Wind pushes the bike more clearly (plus WindZones / grass), not just ambient feel
• Blizzard Season dial is stronger and clearer that it only applies with Blizzard ON
• Random Weather Roulette flips sooner, includes Linear fog, and reasserts storm/fog more reliably
• Wheelie Balance / Tweak Speed help text now explains % offset (near 0% ≈ vanilla)
• Mods reapply more reliably after scene / map changes
• Object placer now has a camera distance setting for big items
• Cleaned up Melon loader Logging

🐛 Fixed

• Fun Reset / All Mods Off leaving some mods still active
• Bike page crash (NullReferenceException) after changing maps
• Ice Mode / Ice Grip sending the bike into uncontrolled air spin
• Turbo Wind doing little to nothing to the bike
• Random Weather Roulette mostly stuck on moonlight / clear instead of cycling storms and fog
• Blizzard Season dial barely changing the look when Blizzard was on
• Favourites slider backgrounds clashing with colour schemes
• Object faves not loading on a new map

📝 Notes

• Steam and Xbox still use the same DLL
• Career tools stay behind the confirm dialog so you don't unlock them by accident

Descenders SandBox 1.7.0

What's New — v1.7.0

• Object Placer is now its own tab under General
• Save placed objects into an in-tab Favourites box — persists across launches
• Scan Map on Bike Parks collects real textured objects into a new Map Objects section
• Move / Rotate / Lift speed sliders
• LB / RB (Z / C) roll — bank a ramp to any angle
• B / Esc / Backspace exits placement mode
• Autoclose menu on B/Esc (on by default)
• All Mods header switch — pause every live mod at once, flip back to restore your set
• Sidebar ▼ indicator when scrolled to top and more tabs are below

Bug Fixes

• Fixed Xbox/Game Pass crash: NullReferenceException on CanvasGroup.set_alpha in UpdateSidebarMoreHint after a scene change (Unity fake-null)
• Fixed header toggles looking like an "eye" icon
• Reduced MelonLoader console spam (scan chatter, init noise) — now only errors, warnings, and ON/OFF messages
• Xbox Spectate "Keyframe method missing" / `hgIcHdS not found" are now correctly treated as warnings instead of errors that pinged Discord — this is a Game Pass method-naming difference, not a lobby bug

Notes

• Steam and Xbox use the same DLL
• Spectate smoothing patches may not apply on Game Pass; placing and menu still work fine

Descenders SandBox 1.6.0

1.6.0 — New Xbox Workshop tab! Workshop/mod.io maps on Xbox and Game Pass (PC) is now a Feature.
Also fixes Jump to Finish ( NullReferenceException) crashing on maps with no finish line. If you open the mod browser, its normal for it to freeze, just give it time.

Descenders Sandbox v1.5.5

1.5.5 — Bouncy Bike, Blizzard Dial snow, on-screen mod chat Messages. Trees hide fixed, multiplayer chat & mod-user count more reliable, fewer menu crashes after loading maps, clearer ON/OFF / fav logs. Mostly Bug fixes.

Descenders SandBox 1.5.0

Descenders Sandbox — v1.5.0

New Features

• Spectate Mode — Watch another player in multiplayer instead of riding yourself. Cycle between players and adjust how far back the camera sits. The camera used to be jittery when watching someone else move — that's fixed now.
• Perks Tab — Instantly try out any of the game's crew perks without having to earn them first.
• Compass Always On — Keeps the finish-line compass on screen every run, even without the perk for it.
• Hover Mode — Makes your bike float above the ground at a height you choose.
• Rubber Band Steering — Adds a delay to your steering input, for a looser, floatier feel.
• Random Weather Roulette — Randomly cycles between storms, fog, moonlight, and clear weather while you ride.
• Tweak Speed slider — New adjustable slider on the Move tab.
• Controller menu button — You can now open the mod menu with a D-pad direction or face button, not just a keyboard key.
• Optional crash reports — If something goes wrong, the mod can (optionally) send a report so bugs get found and fixed faster.

Fixes

• Wheelie Balance, Air Correction, Fakie Balance, and Pump Strength sliders — these barely did anything before. They're properly hooked up now, so every level actually makes a noticeable difference.
• Rubber Band Steering — wasn't doing anything the first time it shipped. Now it works as intended.
• Compass crash — fixed a rare crash related to the finish-line compass.

Other Improvements

• Cleaner startup log — a lot less clutter when the game boots up. Anything that actually goes wrong will still show up clearly.
• Small performance improvement — a few mods were doing more work than they needed to in the background; trimmed that down.
• Easier troubleshooting — added a tool that helps find and fix game-setting issues faster after future game updates.

Descenders SandBox 1.4.0

v1.4.0

Added

New Other tab with 8 mods:
Compass always on
Trail Painter — coloured trail behind your bike, cycle through 5 colours
Confetti on Trick Landing — particle burst + sound on landing a decent trick
Airhorn — honk button, for the streamers
Big Head Mode — self-explanatory
Chaos Mode — randomly flips Ice/Mirror/Drunk/Reverse Steering every few seconds; fully reverts when turned off
Random Bike Switch — auto-switches bikes every few seconds
Random Mutator on Checkpoint — randomises a physics modifier every checkpoint; fully reverts when turned off
Colour Scheme picker (Info/Customize → Customize tab) — 13 full menu themes (Purple, Arboreal, Kinetic, Sunset, Enemy, Ice Cyan, Gold, Vaporwave, Radioactive, Nightshade, Inferno, Frostbite, Blackout), saved automatically

Changed
KeyBind added for menu open.
Menu now reopens on whatever tab you were last viewing, instead of always resetting to General
"Customise" → "Customize" (typo fix)

Fixed
Fixed log spam on scene/session change — RefreshAllStars was logging a stale-star-button warning for nearly every mod every time you loaded a new map. Harmless (self-healing), but noisy. The menu's GameObject isn't DontDestroyOnLoad, so Unity was destroying the whole menu on scene load before the Favourites system knew about it; star button references are now cleared proactively on scene unload instead.
Sidebar tab text was rendering as dim grey instead of using the intended bright colour
Window border glow was hardcoded and didn't follow colour scheme changes
Search tab was missing several mods (Big Head Mode, Chaos Mode, and others weren't indexed)
Favourites could silently fail to save/display after using Search, and a saved favourite could vanish on load depending on menu build order

Descenders SandBox 1.3.0

Fixed acceleration/max speed/landing impact/top speed not persisting between trails — game was silently overwriting our values after each mod loaded; also found TopSpeed's persisted best-speed was getting wiped to 0 every level change (wrong reset method being called)

Fixed rep tracking — Total Rep now hits the real persistent/Steam-synced field; added separate Adjust In-Game Rep for the session-local counter; added x1–x10 multiplier steppers to both

Added Switch Sponsor — cycle through sponsor teams

Added Unlock All (Bikes + Gear) — now two plain instant buttons (Unlock All / Lock All), no confirm step

Added Bike Unlock Status diagnostic — confirmed via live dump that Unlock All correctly reports every bike as unlocked (the persisting

Added tap-to-unlock gate on the Diagnostics section (renamed "Developer Diagnostics," 7 taps to reveal Scene Dump / Bike Unlock Status)

Split Career Progression into its own tab next to Customise

Fixed a MapPage crash on Bike Parks — turned out to be a one-off, but upgraded the error logging (full exception type/stack trace/inner exceptions) and made the map list build one row at a time so a bad entry can't take the whole list down

Descenders SandBox 1.2.0

New Features:

World Object Finder (ESP tab) — highlights collectibles, shortcuts, boost pads, checkpoints, and hazards in the world, colour-coded by type
Rider Customisation (Outfit tab) — skin colour, hair colour/type, beard colour/type, and body type steppers

Changed:

Career Progression moved from the Map tab to Info/Customise → System, for better organisation

Fixed:

Controller cursor: scrollbar handles can now actually be dragged with A — previously only worked with a real mouse
Crash when opening the Outfit tab (TypeLoadException) — root cause was a delegate type that isn't available on this Mono build; switched to the one that is
Missing scrollbars on Info/Customise (System) and Teleport tabs — both had grown past one screen's worth of content with no way to scroll down to the rest

Descenders SandBox 1.1.2

Added controller support to the menu. DPAD DOWN TO OPEN AND CLOSE
