About this mod Author’s original text
BRUTALISTICK Co-op Rooms
An experimental two-player Steam co-op mod for the Steam PCVR version of
BRUTALISTICK VR.
Features
- Public rooms visible in a worldwide room browser
- Private code-only rooms hidden from the public browser
- No Steam-friend requirement
- Six-digit room codes
- Visible blue remote avatar with a head, torso, and hands
- Synchronized head and controller-hand movement
- Event-driven synchronization for spawn-gun object creation and movement
- Synchronized undo and clear-spawned-items actions
- Spatial room voice chat using each player's default microphone
- In-room microphone mute button
- Dark room-menu background
Install and play
- Both players install version 0.6.0.
- Launch BRUTALISTICK VR through Steam.
- Press F6 in the desktop game window to hide or show the room menu.
- Host a public or private room.
- Join public rooms through Refresh public rooms, or join private rooms by
copying the six-digit code and pressing Join room code from clipboard.
- Both players must manually enter the same map.
The room menu shows the number of remote spawned objects currently replicated.
It also shows replicas waiting for the remote item catalog to become ready.
Voice chat starts when another player connects; use Mute microphone to stop
transmitting.
Current synchronization limits
Spawned objects are visual replicas controlled by the player who spawned them.
Creation, movement, undo, and clearing are synchronized. Shared grabbing,
weapon firing, projectiles, damage, enemies, missions, and scene loading are
not synchronized yet.
Voice chat uses the Windows/SteamVR default recording device. If the menu says
Voice: mic unavailable, select a working default microphone in Windows and
allow desktop applications to access it.
When a player connects without Plugins/BrutalistickCoopUpdater.dll, the mod
shows a warning explaining that required future multiplayer updates may be
missed.
Spawn synchronization now hooks the game's actual SpawnObject action,
transmits the stable spawn-catalog index immediately, and then binds the real
local instance for movement and deletion updates. The MelonLoader log records
each captured, sent, received, and created spawn for troubleshooting.
If something fails, include MelonLoader/Latest.log when reporting the issue.
Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- Most mods rely on the game's mod loader — the usual route is a community mod manager (such as r2modman): pick this game, install, and it handles the loader and dependencies.
- For a manual install, put the mod files into the matching Mod / plugins folder inside the game directory.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; mods with listed dependencies need those installed as well.
Install locations vary a lot between mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
