RuneMine

ModSync - Chat-Based Mod Synchronization

A plugin for Mage Arena that synchronizes mods between host and clients.

Features

• Spawns a rune on the floor
• spawns lightning on the player
• 5 seconds before it can be triggered

How It Works

For Hosts:

• Say rune mine and it will spawn a rune on the floor and it will have 5 seconds before it can be triggered

For Clients:

• Say rune mine and it will spawn a rune on the floor and it will have 5 seconds before it can be triggered

Installation

• Install BepInEx for Mage Arena
• Place ModSync.dll in the BepInEx/plugins folder

Usage

For Hosts:

• Say rune mine and it will spawn a rune on the floor and it will have 5 seconds before it can be triggered

For Clients:

• Say rune mine and it will spawn a rune on the floor and it will have 5 seconds before it can be triggered

Configuration

public static string modsync = "all"; // Requires matching on both host and client - This is what is considered when syncing lobbies

public static string modsync = "host"; // Only required on host - These do not count for syncing lobbies

public static string modsync = "client"; // Only required on client - These do not count for syncing lobbies

here is an example of how an all mod should act:

namespace ExampleMod

{

[BepInPlugin("com.example.mymod", "My Example Mod", "1.0.0")]

[BepInProcess("MageArena.exe")]

[BepInDependency("com.magearena.modsync", BepInDependency.DependencyFlags.HardDependency)]

public class ExampleMod: BaseUnityPlugin

{

// This mod requires both client and host to have it

public static string modsync = "all";

private void Awake()

{

// ModSync dependency is guaranteed by BepInEx hard dependency

// If ModSync is not present, this mod won't even load

Logger.LogInfo("ModSync found! Initializing mod...");

// Your mod initialization code here

}

}

}

Note the Bepinex Hard Dependency. This is REQUIRED for mods that can be considered cheats.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues:

• Timeout Errors
• Players without ModSync will timeout after 8-10 seconds.
• This is expected behavior for players without the mod.

• Mod Mismatches
• Check that all required mods are installed. Mods with the "all" tag are considered for syncing.
• Verify mod versions match between host and client
• Turn off Lock Lobby if experiencing many mod mismatch issues.

• Host doesnt have ModSync**
• Two potentional causes here. Either the host doesnt have modsync, or you are not matching the mods/versions of mods of the host.
• Unfortunately a known bug for the visual alert to be wrong in this instance. Check log if you need detailed reports.

Debugging:

• Enable BepInEx logging to see detailed ModSync messages
• Check the game logs for [ModSync] entries
