Stall risks

None found

No file I/O on hot paths, no timers created per event, no per-player-per-frame hooks.

Compatibility

Chain-safe

Every server-visible override preserves its chain.

Heavier than 70% of 328 scripted mods analyzed.

0.0141% of each server frame at 100 players (0.141 ms/s). Counts hook dispatch and timers only, not what the hooks do inside. Methodology.

Where the load comes from

Repeating timers carry 100% of this mod's structural load. 0.141 ms/s in all.

Repeating timersstay in the timer queue, which is walked every frame 1 timer 0.14 ms/s 100% every 20 ms

Counts how often each hook is dispatched and how many timers stay alive, not what the code inside does. Some rates are order-of-magnitude estimates; the methodology lists which.

What this report can tell you

Which vanilla methods the mod hooks, which of them drop the chain, how often each hook fires, and which risky calls sit inside hot hooks.

What it cannot

How long hook bodies take, network cost, or engine-side load. Measured across live fleets, most server lag comes from the engine and world state, not mod script chains — a light footprint does not clear a mod of lag, and a heavy one does not convict it. Methodology.

Everything else

All 1 overrides

Surface is the dispatch tier the rubric can price (— = unpriced); server is whether the override exists on a dedicated server; super() shows whether the vanilla chain is preserved on a server.

Load-order constraints (CfgPatches)

What each PBO declares: its addon identity and the addons it requires to be loaded first (requiredAddons). A partial load-order signal from the mod's own metadata.
