## Description

### Gyrocopter Rework[#](#md-gyrocopter-rework)

This is a Sons of the Forest (SOTF) mod rewrite and decompilation of the mod Gyrocopter, made with the permission of its original author. I am not naming the author because he does not want to be associated with the mod.

#### What I mean by "rework"[#](#md-what-i-mean-by-rework)

This project rewrites the code without changing the mod's behavior or the parts of its structure that actually matter. The goal is to make the code easier to understand, more optimized, improving features it already has, and make it compatible with multiplayer and with other mods.

For example, I replaced `OnWorldUpdateCallback = new LemonAction(Update());` with an interface called `IOnUpdateReceiver`, which the mod class implements. Its `OnUpdate` function calls the same `Update` function as `OnWorldUpdateCallback`.

#### How you can help with this project[#](#md-how-you-can-help-with-this-project)

You can:

- Make commits and organize the code
- Correct spelling mistakes
- Suggest improvements
- Optimize the code
- Make the mod compatible with multiplayer
- Share the latest or older files of the original mod. They are lost media, and the original author no longer has them.

All contributions will be credited.

## Changelog 0.9.4 (2026-11-07)

- Added a debug system
- Reorganized the entire project
- Renamed a lot of stuff
- Fix up the spawnheli (now spawngyrocopter) command

All versions: https://sotf-mods.com/mods/redisimiliture/gyrocopter-rework/versions

## Known issues

- **Loading and saving inside a gyrocopter** (investigating): When you save inside a gyrocopter that data is not stored and when you load in you teleport to that exact coordinates of the gyrocopter without being inside of it.
- **Spawnheli spawns 2 gyrocopters instead of 1.** (open, affects v0.9.4 and older): I already fixed it but I renamed the command to spawngyrocopter
