Meridian Trigger

Meridian Trigger

An unofficial, fan-made mod inspired by World Trigger. It is not affiliated with the series' creator or publishers: all models, textures and designs in the mod are the author's own work.

Join Border, take on a trion body and fight with Triggers. Neighbors pour through gates, NPC Border agents roam the world, and every agent - player or NPC - can be challenged to a Rank War.

New in 0.62.0-beta: trion soldiers redrawn after the series, NPC agents that fight by the weapon you're holding, whole NPC squads for hire and NPC-led faction squads, outbreaks led by a Gate Rad, squad rivals, three-way Rank Wars with NPC teams, and Side Effects. The full changelog is on the Files tab.

Rank Wars: against players and NPCs

• Squad vs squad, or three-way: challenge any squad, or two at once, from the Rank War page in your agent file. Everyone readies up, a map is picked and the fight begins.
• NPC teams in three-ways: two NPC squads at once, or a player squad and an NPC squad.
• 1v1 Rank Wars, no squad needed, plus open Rank Wars others can join and a Find a match queue.
• Maps built for battle: ten kinds of city with cover, rooftops and sniper perches. Two sides fight on 256 × 256 maps, three or four on 512 × 512, and 1v1s on smaller duel grounds. Ask for a map when you challenge, or leave it to chance. Everyone starts alone and has to find their squad.
• Scoring: points for every take-out and a bonus for the last side standing. A Rank War is a simulation: afterwards your trion and body are put back as they were, and the map is rebuilt block for block.
• NPC Border agents: C-, B- and A-rank duelists with real roles and loadouts (one trigger at C-rank, three at A-rank) roam the world and stand guard at Border bases. Challenge them 1v1, squad vs squad, or alone against their whole squad.
• They fight like their role, and like you: they read the weapon in your hand - a gunner keeps blades at arm's length, an attacker comes at a gun from cover to cover with its Shield up, snipers take the high ground and find a new angle when you hide. Squads pick tactics from their make-up, focus the weakest target and regroup before they hunt. Their points are on the line too.
• Your own rival: an NPC made just for you, with a personality, a squad of their own and a record against you. They challenge you at milestones and drop in when gates open. A squad that fights together earns a rival squad of its own.
• Hired agents join your squad, level up with you and fight beside you, including in Rank Wars. Hire a whole NPC squad for your faction, and move agents between squads from the Faction page.
• Seasons and standings, PvP and PvE records, and promotion from C-rank to B-rank to A-rank.
• Many Rank Wars at once on one server, and spectators can watch.

Triggers and trion

• Trigger Holders with Main and Sub slots, loaded at the Engineer's Bench. Trigger On, and your trion body forms.
• Attackers: Kogetsu (and its Spear), Scorpion, Raygust and Sōgetsu, with abilities like Senkū, Gen'yō, Mantis and Thruster.
• Gunners: five guns with magazines, each with its own report and recoil.
• Shooters: trion cubes split into 1, 8, 27 or 64 pieces, fired as salvos or set in place for a crossfire.
• Snipers: Egret, Ibis and Lightning, charged before every shot.
• Options: Shield, Escudo, Grasshopper, Spider, Bagworm, Chameleon, Teleporter, Switch Box, Idaten, Starmaker and more.
• Your build: eight parameters, four roles, agent levels, a Master colour for your triggers, and Bail Out.
• Side Effects: at B-rank one may awaken - Keen Hearing, Animal Talk, Emotion Sense and more - and each one is useful in a fight.
• Radar: a holographic radar shows trion signatures around you.

Neighbors

• Gates open near Border agents, and 14 kinds of trion soldier come through them, drawn after the series, each with its own job: Bamsters carry off captives, Rabbits capture trigger users, Banders fire their eye beams.
• Threat: a threat level builds up wherever you leave gates alone, until the place erupts into an outbreak led by a Gate Rad. Destroy it in time, or the place is overrun.
• The End: invasion ships float among the islands, crewed by Neighbors with real triggers and a boss to beat.

Border, factions and defense

• Joining Border: pass the entrance patrol to become an agent.
• Border bases have a Mission Board, a training room, Trion Engineers and NPC agents standing guard.
• Factions bring several squads under one leader, with a base to defend using turrets, Gate Detectors, the Trion Reinforcer, engineers who summon soldiers, and NPC squads of hired agents.

For server owners

• Server styles: one setting each makes the server PvP-only, PvE-only or mixed.
• Balance as data: every number lives in data files you can override with a data pack.
• Rank War locations: list your own arenas, or build custom ones. Rank Wars stay inside the world border.

Requirements

• NeoForge 1.21.1, installed on both the client and the server, with the same version of the mod on both.
