UPDATE 1.0.2 - Multiplayer fixes

Everyone in the lobby needs 1.0.2 (click Update in your mod manager, or download it from this page). Fixed: buttons going dead, and respawned ships acting like they're about to launch.

Meridian Ark

This is the code mod for Meridian Ark. You ALSO need the Meridian Ark content pack from mod.io. Both are required.

PC only. Made with AI: this mod was created with AI assistance.

Install

Install this mod with your mod manager. It brings MelonLoader and BoneLib.
Subscribe to Meridian Ark | CODE MOD REQUIRED on mod.io for BONELAB.
Start the game and find the StationShip pallet in your spawn menu.

Features

Flight: tower launch, direct launch, hover, manual flying and auto landing.
Launch Tower: a crane lifts the ship, turns it upright and lowers it into the stand. Countdown, clamps and liftoff follow.
Riding: seatbelts hold you through the launch. Walkers stay on the deck, and you're put back aboard if you fall out of a closed ship in flight.
Loose props ride too: food, guns and items inside the ship stay in place while it moves, and go back to normal when it stops. Grab one at any time.
Weapons: laser and warhead with damage, shockwave and target beacons.
Loudspeaker and TALK: broadcast messages and your live voice play only at the target on the ground, with a radio sound.
Ship computer: voiced lines over the ship's speakers.
Music: launch music with its drop at liftoff, and a jukebox that plays any time.
Your own songs: put MP3, WAV, M4A, WMA or FLAC files in UserData\MeridianArk\Music, then press Refresh in BoneMenu. The folder starts empty. OGG doesn't work.
RGB lights: speakers and jukebox tubes pulse to the music, or use rainbow, solid color or off.
Piranha tank: the fish swim, hunt, bite your hand, flinch and fight back. Food sinks or floats in the water and starts a frenzy.
Cabin dimmer: 100%, 60%, 30% and NIGHT.

Fusion

Fusion is optional. It isn't needed to play alone.
Everyone in a lobby needs this mod and the content pack, at the same version.
The host's game runs the ship. If the host doesn't have the mod, the next player who does takes over.
Everyone needs the same version. With POWER on, the console wall lists every player and their version, and anyone who doesn't match is shown in red. Their presses are ignored until they update.
Something wrong? BoneMenu > Station Ship > Where is my netlog? shows the file to send.
Flights, the tower, doors, buttons, music, volume, lights, cabin dimmer and fish are shared.
Friends hear a song from your folder only if they have a file with the same name. Otherwise their jukebox says NOT ON THIS PC.
TALK only works in a Fusion lobby. Friends hear you within about 150 m of the target.
Fusion has one voice per player, so while TALK is held your normal voice uses the ship's mic too. It goes back when you let go.
Spawn the ship after the lobby is open.
