Even if the Shifter or the target dies before the meeting, the Shift will still be performed.
Swapping roles with an Impostor or Neutral fails and the Shifter commits suicide after the next meeting (there won't be any body).
The Shifter aims to save roles from leaving the game, by e.g. taking over a Sheriff or Medic that is known to the Impostors.
This works especially well against the Eraser, but also gives the Eraser the possiblity to act like a Shifter.
The special interactions with the Shifter are noted in the chapters of the respective roles.
NOTE:
- The Shifter shift will always be triggered before the Erase (hence either the new role of the Shifter will be erased or the Shifter saves the role of his target, depending on who the Eraser erased)

- One time use abilities (e.g. shielding a player or Engineer sabotage fix) can only used by one player in the game (i.e. the Shifter can only use them, if the previous player did not used them before)

If a player trys to kill the Time Master while the time shield is active, the kill won't happen and the
time will rewind for a set amount of time.
The kill cooldown of the killer won't be reset, so the Time Master
has to make sure that the game won't result in the same situation.
The Time Master won't be affected by the rewind.
NOTE:
- Only the movement is affected by the rewind
- A Vampire bite will trigger the rewind. If the Time Master misses shielding the bite, he can still shield the kill which happens a few seconds later.
- If the Time Master was bitten and has his shield active before when a meeting is called, he survives but the time won't be rewinded.
- If the Time Master has a Medic shield, he won't rewind.
- The shield itself ends immediately when triggered. So the timemaster can be attacked again as soon as the rewind ends.

The "Create Sidekick Action" may only be used once per Jackal or once per game (depending on the options).
The Jackal can also promote Impostors to be his Sidekick, but depending on the options the Impostor will either really turn into the Sidekick and leave the team Impostors or he will just look like the Sidekick to the Jackal an remain as he was.
The team Jackal enables multiple new outcomes of the game, listing some examples here:
- The Impostors could be eliminated and then the crew plays against the team Jackal.
- The Crew could be eliminated, then the Team Jackal fight against the Impostors (the Crew can still make a task win in this scenario)
The priority of the win conditions is the following:
- Crewmate Mini lose by vote
- Jester wins by vote
- Arsonist win
- Team Impostor wins by sabotage
- Team Crew wins by tasks (also possible if the whole Crew is dead)
- Lovers among the last three players win
- Team Jackal wins by outnumbering (When the team Jackal contains an equal or greater amount of players than the Crew and there are 0 Impostors left and team Jackal contains no Lover)
- Team Impostor wins by outnumbering (When the team Impostors contains an equal or greater amount of players than the Crew and there are 0 players of the team Jackal left and team Impostors contains no Lover)
- Team Crew wins by outnumbering (When there is no player of the team Jackal and the team Impostrs left)
NOTE:
- The Jackal (and his Sidekick) may be killed by a Sheriff.
- A Jackal cannot target the Mini, while it's growing up. After that he can kill it or select it as its Sidekick
- The Crew can still win, even if all of their members are dead, if they finish their tasks fast enough (that's why converting the last Crewmate with tasks left into a Sidekick results in a task win for the crew)
If both Impostors and Jackals are in the game the game continues even if all Crewmates are dead. Crewmates may still win in this case by completing their tasks. Jackal and Impostor have to kill each other.

The Spy is a Crewmate, which has no special abilities.
The Spy looks like an additional Impostor to the Impostors, they can't tell the difference.
There are two possibilities (depending on the set options):
- The Impostors can't kill the Spy (because otherwise their kill button would reveal, who the Spy is)
- The Impostors can kill the Spy but they can also kill their Impostor partner (if they mistake another Impostor for the Spy) You can set whether the Sheriff can kill the Spy or not (in order to keep the lie alive).

The Security Guard is a Crewmate that has a certain amount of screws that he can use for either sealing vents or for placing new cameras.
Placing a new camera and sealing vents takes a configurable amount of screws. The total number of screws that a Security Guard has can also be configured.
The new camera will be visible after the next meeting and accessible by everyone.
The vents will be sealed after the next meeting, players can't enter or exit sealed vents, but they can still "move to them" underground.
NOTE:
- Tickster boxes can't be sealed
- The Security Guard can't place Cameras on MiraHQ
- The remaining number of screws can be seen above his special button
- On Skeld the four cameras will be replaced every 3 seconds (with the next four cameras). You can also navigate manually using the arrow keys.

The medium is a crewmate who can ask the souls of dead players for information. Like the Seer, it sees the places where the players have died (after the next meeting) and can question them. It then gets random information about the soul or the killer in the chat. The souls only stay for one round, i.e. until the next meeting. Depending on the options, the souls can only be questioned once and then disappear.
Questions: What is your name? What is your Role? What is your killer's color type? When did you die? What is your killers role? (mini exluded)

We are still improving the role assignment system. It's not that intuitive right now, but it's more flexible than the older one if you're using it right.
First you need to choose how many special roles of each kind (Impostor/Neutral/Crewmate) you want in the game. The count you set will only be reached, if there are enough Crewmates/Impostors in the game and if enough roles are set to be in the game (i.e. they are set to > 0%). The roles are then being distributed as follows:
- First all roles that are set to 100% are being assigned to arbitrary players
- After that each role that has 10%-90% selected adds 1-9 tickets to a ticket pool (there exists a ticket pool for Crewmates, Neutrals and Impostors). Then the roles will be selected randomly from the pools as long it's possible (until the selected number is reached, until there are no more Crewmates/Impostors or until there are no more tickets). If a role is selected from the pool, obviously all the tickets of that role are being removed.
- The Mafia, Lovers and Mini are being selected independently (without using the ticket system) according to the spawn chance you selected. After that the Crewmate, Neutral and Impostor roles are selected and assigned in a random order.
Example:
Settings: 2 special Crewmate roles, Snitch: 100%, Hacker: 10%, Tracker: 30%
Result: Snitch is assigned, then one role out of the pool [Hacker, Tracker, Tracker, Tracker] is being selected
Note: Changing the settings to Hacker: 20%, Tracker: 60% would statistically result in the same outcome .
You can configure:
- Up to 4 common tasks
- Up to 23 short tasks
- Up to 15 long tasks
Please note, that if the configured option exceeds the available number of tasks of a map, the tasks will be limited to that number of tasks.
Example: If you configure 4 common tasks on Airship crewmates will only receive 2 common tasks, as airship doesn't offer more than 2 common tasks.
| Map | Common Tasks | Short Tasks | Long Tasks |
|---|---|---|---|
| Skeld / Dleks | 2 | 19 | 8 |
| Mira HQ | 2 | 13 | 11 |
| Polus | 4 | 14 | 15 |
| Airship | 2 | 23 | 15 |
We always recommend you to play on custom servers rather than on the official ones. If you want to play with more than 10 players in one lobby, you're required to use a custom server. Credits for the original implementation that allowed 10+ player lobbies go to the creaters of the CrowdedMod.
Setup the Clients:
- Open the region menu where you can choose between the different regions
- Select the region Custom
- Enter the ip/domain and the port of your custom server in the corresponding text fields
Setup the Server:
- Get the Impostor release for the Among Us version 2021.3.31 - 2021.4.2
- Follow the steps (using the server release you just downloaded) on the official Impostor-Documentation
- Make sure to set the following values to false in the
config.jsonfile:
...
"AntiCheat": {
"Enabled": false,
"BanIpFromGame": false
}
- Make sure to forward the right ports on the hosting machine
- Run the server and setup the client
Setting up Server as Docker Container:
If you want to run the server as a docker container you'll need to use the image
aeonlucid/impostor:nightly
(Currently only the "nightly" tag is starting a server supporting 2021.3.31 or later)
In addition to running it, the environment variables to disable the AntiCheat feature need to be set.
IMPOSTOR_AntiCheat__Enabled=false
IMPOSTOR_AntiCheat__BanIpFromGame=false
Example to docker run command:
docker run -p 22023:22023/udp --env IMPOSTOR_AntiCheat__Enabled=false --env IMPOSTOR_AntiCheat__BanIpFromGame=false aeonlucid/impostor:nightly
Or use to run it in the background
docker run -d -p 22023:22023/udp --env IMPOSTOR_AntiCheat__Enabled=false --env IMPOSTOR_AntiCheat__BanIpFromGame=false aeonlucid/impostor:nightly

OxygenFilter - For all the version v2.3.0 to v2.6.1, we were using the OxygenFilter for automatic deobfuscation
Reactor - The framework used for all version before v2.0.0
BepInEx - Used to hook game functions
Essentials - Custom game options by DorCoMaNdO:
- Before v1.6: We used the default Essentials release
- v1.6-v1.8: We slightly changed the default Essentials. The changes can be found on this branch of our fork.
- v2.0.0 and later: As we're not using Reactor anymore, we are using our own implementation, inspired by the one from DorCoMaNdO

We're awaiting your creative hat designs and we'll integrate all the good ones in our mod. Here are a few instructions, on how to create a custom hat:
-
Creation: A hat consists of up to three textures. The aspect ratio of the textures has to be
4:5, we recommend300px:375px:Main texture (required):- This is the main texture of your hat. It will usually be rendered in front of the player, if you set the
behindparameter it will be rendered behind the player. - The name of the texture needs to follow the pattern hatname.png, but you can also set some additional parameters in the file name by adding
_parameternameto the file name (before the .png). - Parameter
bounce: This parameter determines whether the hat will bounce while you're walking or not. - Parameter
adaptive: If this parameter is set, the Among Us coloring shader will be applied (the shader that replaces some colors with the colors that your character is wearing in the game). The color red (#ff0000) will be replaced with the primary color of your player and the color blue (#0000ff) with the secondary color. Also other colors will be affected and changed, you can have a look at the texture of the Crewmate Hat to see how this feature should be used. - Parameter
behind: If this parameter is set, the main texture will be rendered behind the player.
- This is the main texture of your hat. It will usually be rendered in front of the player, if you set the
Flipped texture (optional):- This texture will be rendered instead of the Main texture, when facing the left.
- The name of the texture needs to follow the pattern
hatname_flip.png.
Back texture (optional):- This texture will be rendered behind the player.
- The name of the texture needs to follow the pattern
hatname_back.png.
Flipped Back texture (optional):- This texture will be rendered instead of the Back texture, when facing the left.
- The name of the texture needs to follow the pattern
hatname_back_flip.png.
Climb texture (optional):- This texture will be rendered in front of the player, when he's climbing.
- The name of the texture needs to follow the pattern
hatname_climb.png.
-
Testing: You can test your hat design by putting all the files in the
\TheOtherHats\Testsubfolder of your mod folder. Then whenever you start a freeplay game, you and all the dummies will be wearing the new hat. You don't need to restart Among Us if you change the hat files, just exit and reenter the freeplay mode. -
Submission: If you got a hat design, you can submit it on our Discord server. We'll look at all the hats and add all the good ones to the game.
It's bad I know, this is a side project and my second week of modding. So there are no best practices around here. You can use parts of the code but don't copy paste the whole thing. Make sure you give credits to the other developers, because some parts of the code are based on theirs.
