THIS MOD WILL DISPLAY YOU PLAYING "SpaceWar" NO MATTER WHAT ON STEAM. APLOGIES! ITS THE ONLY WAY CROSSPLAY BETWEEN OCULUS AND STEAM CAN FUNCTION WITHOUT HAVING TWO SEPARATE BUILDS.

When using this mod, keep in mind that its just a mod made as a sort of demonstration and an experiment for myself. It certainly works for your sandbox needs, and campaign maps are theoretically possible to play. However! Performance will not always be the greatest, and there are a handful of bugs.

If you cant see somebody when you join their server, ask them to change their avatar!!!

This is usually on the first time they join, scene loads should be okay. (Modded avatars work fine)

This mod was uploaded purely to satisfy a small amount of the desire for Bonelab Multiplayer. This mod will be obselete when a better multiplayer mod comes out (AKA. Bonelab Fusion).

What Syncs?

• Gun Firing
• Descent level events

• Spawned items
• NPCs
• NPCs spawned via maps or game events (Occasionally doesnt work, god bless your soul if you wanna play street puncher)
• Spawning items through the spawn gun auto syncs. (Sometimes it breaks)
• Noodledog

6.0.0 - Ultimate Stability Update/Campaign Support Update

• This update should increase syncing stability by about 90%.

• Fixed 90% of NPC desync in campaign levels.
• Fixed items desyncing after traversing through level chunk load zones.
• Modified NPC death sync in a way which allows other players to kill NPCs they arent simulating client side. (Fighting NPCs with your friends should actually function)
• Fixed a crash bug which would occur if you chose an avatar with 255+ bones. (They will still display as invalid to other players, but atleast you dont crash now :P)
• Object removal should now be synced for spawn gun spawned objects. (Spawn gun deletions and other instances where an object would be deleted/removed)
• Synced Descent level events. (IE. Only one person needs to hang themselves and itll trigger the cutscene for everybody, along with other Descent map events)

AUTHORS NOTE: I LIED! This ones probably the real last major update.

5.0.0 - INTERACTIONS UPDATE 2: The pickupenning

• Improved sync stability by a bit.
• Added the ability to pickup other players. (They need to be using a smaller/weaker avatar than you, otherwise you'll just grab them regularly)
• Added ownership/simulator transfer on punch, stab, and blunt hit. (Fighting NPCs with your friends should feel alot better, no more punching brickwall NPCs)
• Fixed a critical bug that sometimes made players not show up even after switching avatars.

AUTHORS NOTE: THIS WILL MOST LIKELY BE THE LAST MAJOR UPDATE. ALL OTHER UPDATES WILL MORE THAN LIKELY BE SMALL IMPROVEMENTS/BUGFIXES. I am satisfied with the amount of content the mod has, performance is still an issue depending on your computer specs, but content wise I think its pretty feature complete. Thank you all for following the development of the mod! It definitely has been quite the journey developing this. Good luck to Lakatrazz with Fusion! Would love to work things out.
