Added

  • Choose who plays: press start on a free controller and the screen splits, with the new player's part black and a menu until you choose a saved local player (each with their own inventory), player 1, or a player who lost their controller. The menu closes by itself after 10 seconds.
  • A Split screen menu, opened by the name tag button in the pause menu (next to the small buttons under Save & Quit) or F7: choose the layout (top and bottom or side by side), take another player's place, remove players, and take player 1's controller away so it can choose another player.
  • Menus in the style of the game's new UI, with P1-P4 pictures in each player's own colour and status tags (Player 1, Playing, No controller, Not playing, You).
  • The world pauses when every player is in the pause menu.
  • A short message above the hotbar after each choice.

Changed

  • In a world, controllers no longer go to player 1 by themselves; a controller that is already connected when you enter a world waits for start to be pressed.
  • Controllers ask who is playing again in every world instead of keeping their player from the last one.
  • While a new player is being chosen, the player that holds their part of the screen waits in spectator mode, and its "joined", "left" and appearance chat lines are hidden.
  • Built against LeviLamina 26.60.5.

Fixed

  • Leaving and re-entering a world after playing split-screen crashed (LeviLamina kept a pointer to a player that had left).
  • Reconnecting controllers could open more than four controller slots and crash.
  • A new player who joined on a controller slot unplugged long before was removed at once.
