PaceRef – Enhanced Scoreboard

What it does: The mod enhances Distance's pause menu by adding leaderboard comparisondata.

Key Features:

1. Global Best Time - Shows the world record time for the current level
2. Top Players Average - Displays the average time of the top players (configurable sample size)

What players see: When they pause during a level, below the normal information (Personal Best, Medal,Difficulty), they now see:

• Global Best: 01:07.28 (world record time)
• Top X Avg: 01:08.06 (average of top X players, where X is configurable)

But why?

• Pace Reference - Players can instantly see how they compare to the world's best
• Skill Assessment - Shows both the absolute best (world record) and what "verygood" looks like (top players average)
• And a nice: "what the hell how long is this workshop map" - information.

Features

When opening the pause menu during a level, PaceRef fetches the global Steam leaderboard and displays two additional stats below the existing scoreboard panel:

• Global Best – the world record time (or score in Stunt mode)
• Top N Average – the average across the top N entries, configurable via BepInEx config

Both time-based modes and Stunt mode (eV scoring) are supported.

Installation

1. Install BepInEx 5 for Distance
2. Drop PaceRef.dll into BepInEx/plugins/Mods/

Or use any thunderstore mod manager of your choice, e.g. r2modman
