v2.1.0 changes (VectorTV)
Updated for ITB v0.5.3 (original last supported ITB v0.3.0):
- Replaced the outdated nm.maxConnections / GameObject.Find("SlotOption_PLAYERS") + GetComponentInChildren approach with a FindObjectsOfType-based scan for the new UI (TypeSelect / DifficultySelect / PlayersSelect).
- Uses the new TrySetPlayerSelection API to set the player selector instead of the removed SelectedOption setter.
- Safer config parsing (TryParse, Trim, blank-file handling) for MaxPlayers.txt.
- Removed the old on-screen debug/GUI overlay.

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.
