Divide
A Duo Rundown with two available levels, themed on the two players being split apart
About this mod Author’s original text
Divide
Divide is a Duos rundown, playable by two people. DIV-A1 was created for the Standalone Level Competition #2, DIV-B1 was created mostly as a demo for ActuallyUsableShuttleboxes but there are parts that I think are pretty fun.
DIV-A1 has gone for a vanilla-B-to-C tier difficulty, whereas DIV-B1 might be closer to C-to-D.
Quick notes:
You need to have at least one player in an odd-numbered slot, and an even-numbered slot. Meaning, you need someone in the first and second slot, or first and fourth, or second and third, or third and fourth. Just trust me on this one.
Thanks
Extreme thanks to randomuserhi for making the plugin required for A1 to exist. They also have helped me a lot with testing, as well as adding various miscellaneous related features to said plugin whenever I had a random idea come to mind. They also sat in a call with me for ~6 hours, in what was supposed to be a short test of the level, which turned into them fixing something from the vanilla game they had expressed moderate amounts of disinterest at trying to fix (not even at my request, mind you), so that the level could function even better.
In addition, they also helped with testing the level a lot, and gave a bunch of ideas for it as well, so serious, huge huge thanks to them!
To summarize, the level would not exist without their help in numerous fashions.
B1 can only exist due to the work of the people who helped make ActuallyUsableShuttleboxes, so check that mod page to know who you have to thank for it existing. Additionally randomuserhi once again helped me immensely with testing and balancing the level early on. I've made some minor balance changes since proper playtesting which haven't been truly tested, so let me know if anything's over/undertuned.
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.
