Minimalist Multiplayer

Allows online multiplayer!
Mod is buggy but it does work!
You can join in as any slugcat or if the host has Downpour, any creature!
People dont need to have the Rain world game to play with you! Client is a separate application.
You can chat in client. Sadly you can’t in game.

IF SERVERS DONT WORK THEN MAIN SERVER IS DEAD! NEEDS TO BE REBOOTED BY RATRAT.

!!! HOW TO USE !!!

HOST:
1. One subscribes to the mod in steam workshop
2. Go into Rain World and enable it in REMIX
3. Click on it to open the config menu and hit START!

(If you want to play ONLY with your friends you can set up a pass)

Clients:

The other people that want to join need to follow this:
1. Download the client application https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LwJXa41UQPVfxfa7oo7jEPWQ8P3rXWGY/view
(Link is also in remix config menu)
2. Unzip it ANYWHERE
3. Click "Minimalist Multiplayer.exe" to start it!

[Minimalist multiplayer.exe]
1. Lobby password: Set up this to see only lobbies with same pass. Empty will show public ones.
2. Refresh button: Refreshes the list for open lobbies.
3. Index of a lobby.
4. Update the [5] info.
5. Shows where the host currently is (In menu, in room, etc…)
6. Join button

After joining the server at top left you can pick creature you want to spawn as (SC = slugcat)
VariationID is the ID that your creature will spawn in with (For example if you want to be scav with a specific ID)
Spawn in room/Spawn in region – No need to explain
Body color and Eye color – Sets the eye and body color of the slugcat you join as

You will see minimalistic graphics – that’s your Rain World now! (Hello ASCII players)
There are some ways to improve it tho. Like watching hosts discord stream (Ping enters the chat).

!!! OTHER !!!

Shenanigans:

It works best with Jolly Co-op disabled

Controls are vanilla! Except WASD also works for moving.
Gamepad works too.

Possible problems:

Problem: Cant see server in list (The hosts server has died): at some point the hosts server can just crash.
Solution: restart the game, press START again in minimalistic multiplayer remix settings.

if problem is still a thing, try hosting yourself and checking if you see your own lobby. If no – then probably the main server has crashed and has to be rebooted. No one can host until that time. Contact ratrat to ask him rebooting it.

!!! HOW TO PLAY IT MORE COMFORTABLY !!!
1. Host does a discord stream
2. You connect to it.
3. At right down there is a button to put stream in external window.
4. Change the size to fit your screen partly (More = better) but leave enough space for client.
5. Press the pin button so it will be on top of all windows.

6. Run the client application.
7. Fit it to screen with discord stream.
8. Click on it at play while looking at friends stream.
