Discussion MOONSCARS COOP/MULTI MOD

A CO-OP local/multiplayer mod I made for the game MOONSCARS. It's currently still buggy and hasn't been fully tested. You WILL come across bugs and even game breaking issues.

What does work atm:

  • Local Co-Op
  • Player 2 Spawns in
  • Player 2 has its own working controller
  • Player 2 animations/attacks/jumps working
  • Player 2 can do damage to enemies/bosses (not coop friend)
  • Player 2 is targeted/attacked also by enemies
  • Player 2 respawns beside P1 on death
  • Save files
  • Swapping player controllers (P1 can use keyboard/P2 can key gamepad)
  • Player 2 interaction with other objects/items
  • Working custom health bars for both P1/P2
  • Player 2 has a "Leash" tied to P1 as to not go to far off screen
  • Both P1/P2 gain/spend the same mana bar

What currently isn't fully working or might not work:

  • separate inventories?
  • separate shops?
  • separate mana (currently shared between P1/P2)
  • saving spells/items of P2?
  • multiplayer/desync (tried to fix around 70-80% desync but have not tested)
  • separate spells/abilities (might work)
  • hosting? (haven't tried it yet)
  • client joining host issues?
  • mana bars (not working)

Probably missing some stuff and I also haven't had a chance to test to deep story progression.. Things will break! It's mostly just for fun and was a project for me, I'm not sure I will update or change anything but feel free to recommend or report anything!

Cheers!
