1. Background & Installation Requirements

SpiderLab is a Spider-Man–themed mod crafted by Parzival for the VR game BONELAB, boasting over 130,000 downloads and strong popularity among players

🕷️Essential for operation is the dependency BoneLib, preferably version 2.0.1

🕷️Installation can be done via manual download into the MOD folder.

2. Core Features & Playstyle Highlights

SpiderLab impressively injects Spider-Man mechanics into BONELAB, allowing players to climb walls, launch webs, and swing through the environment with agility. Key features include:

🕸️Climb on any surface – Turn every wall into a climbable surface.

🕸️Spider-scaled strength and agility – Calculate player abilities according to avatar proportions.

🕸️Web swinging and zipping – Shoot web lines and “zip” forward by pulling hard.

🕸️Mid-air control – Adjust orientation or build speed while in flight

3. Control Mechanisms & How to Use

SpiderLab combines gesture recognition with input triggers, all configurable:

✋ Gestures:

--SPIDEY – Classic Spider-Man pose (requires controllers with finger tracking);

--GRIP – Grip with at least two fingers.

🎮Webline input triggers:

--Options include TOUCHPAD (single tap), DOUBLE_TRIGGER (double trigger pull >75%), DOUBLE_TOUCH_BUTTONS (double thumb contact on face buttons), etc

--You can configure these options via the BoneMenu in-game pause menu

4. Gameplay Experience & Tips

🌀Web Swinging: Hold the web line to swing like Spider-Man.

🌀Web Zip: Pull aggressively on the web to catapult forward—1-second cooldown per arm; use both for maximum speed

🌀Air Control: Use joystick to steer midair, essential for landing or evading.

Known issues⚠️:

-- Player jitter during wall crawling—an issue inherited from base BONELAB game;

-- Occasionally grabbing body-slot when firing or pulling web unexpectedly

5. Configurability & Future Roadmap

--SpiderLab allows tuning of strength, zip power, haptics, and input configuration via BoneMenu. Version 1.0.2 includes bug fixes for input, rendering, snapping, and added haptic feedback

--Parzival has ambitions to later add spider-sense, web-tying NPCs/objects, web gadgets, physics web lines, and multiplayer support—but notes these features are speculative and may not all materialize

6. Community Feedback & Compatibility

❌ Some players report SpiderLab isn’t compatible with the latest BONELAB patch (e.g., Patch 6)—causing malfunction or failure to launch

💡 Suggested workarounds include downgrading the game version. On Reddit, a Quest user noted only climbing and strength features are functional because web mechanics are tailored to Index controllers
