About this mod Author’s original text
SSMP Essentials
An addon for Silksong Multiplayer (SSMP) that adds several useful utilities for multiplayer games.
Each module can be disabled with a command, so you can use it even if you only want one feature.
Teleports
Ever wanted to teleport to your friend quickly, or gather everyone in one spot? Well you're in luck!
- /tp Sends a teleport request to another player
- /tpa (/tpaccept) Accepts a teleport request
- /tpd (/tpdeny) Rejects a teleport request
- /back Teleports you back to where you were before you teleported or died.
- /huddle Teleports everyone to you. Must be authorized to use.
- /huddle Teleports everyone to a specific player. Must be authorized to use.
Spectating/Freecam
View the world of Pharloom from the perspective of other players! You can view anyone's perspective as long as you're in the room with them.
In addition, freecam is available to freely spectate your current room.
Keybinds
I'd recommend changing these. You can use BepInEx Config Manager or ModMenu.
- 2 - Spectate previous player
- 3 - Spectate next player
- 4 - Exit spectate/freecam mode
- 5 - Freecam
Pausing the game also exits spectate/freecam mode.
Healthbars
Healthbars can be displayed above players usernames. They reflect the player's actual healthbar,
showing current health, missing masks, and lifeblood masks.
Death Messages
When you inevitably die, the game will send out a death message, informing other players of your demise.
These messages are similar in style to the ones found in Minecraft.
Configuration
/essentials set (/e set) will toggle a module on or off for all players.
Valid options are:
- huddle Toggles ability to do /huddle
- tp Toggles ability to do /tp
- back Toggles ability to use /back
- tprequests If true, /tp requires a /tpa response. If false, players are teleported immediately.
- deathmessages Toggles death messages
- healthbars Toggles all healthbars
- spectate Toggles ability to spectate other players
- spectateteam If enabled, players can only spectate other players that are on their team.
- freecam Toggles ability to use freecam
By default, all options (except for spectateteam) are enabled.
Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
