Multiplayer
This mod is purely local. It has no network code, so it cannot affect anyone
else's game.
- Free camera, look, zoom and ortho all work in multiplayer.
- F3 and F4 are disabled while a multiplayer session is detected. They
change Unity's global timeScale, which also drives physics, animation and
the netcode tick, so using them in a match risks a desync. They come back
automatically once you leave.
- F2 only hides gameplay HUD. Lobby, party, invite and menu canvases are
deliberately left alone so you can always ready up and leave a match.
Notes
- A frozen game is a fully stopped game: with F3 on you cannot jump or fall.
Use F4 slow motion if you want to keep moving.
- Time controls are released automatically on scene change and on exit, so the
game can never be left stuck in slow motion.
- If something goes wrong, the mod restores everything it touched and disables
itself rather than letting the game crash. Check MelonLoader\Latest.log.
Changelog
1.1.0
- Added the missing LavaGang-MelonLoader-0.7.3 dependency. Without it the mod
could load on a machine that already had MelonLoader and fail on a clean one.
- Fixed a permanently broken game: freezing time and then toggling the camera
off left timeScale at 0 with no way back short of restarting.
- Time controls are no longer applied when the free camera is off.
- Time controls now reset on scene change and are disabled in multiplayer.
- F2 no longer hides lobby/party/menu canvases, which could leave players
unable to ready up or leave a match.
- Fixed black screens after a scene change: cameras are now tracked and reliably
restored, and a lost free camera is rebuilt.
- Camera.main lookups are guarded; scenes with multiple MainCamera tags no
longer throw.
- Avoids adding a second UniversalAdditionalCameraData component.
- Every callback is wrapped in error handling, and repeated failures now disable
the mod instead of spamming errors every frame.
- Only canvases the mod itself switched off are ever switched back on.
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.
