BetterTeamUpgrades

[2.0.0] - 2025-11-29

Added

• Host-Only Authority: The mod is now fully server-side. Only the host needs to install the mod for upgrades to be shared and synced with all clients (even vanilla clients).

• Smart Upgrade Syncing:

  • Implemented an intelligent system that distinguishes between Vanilla and Modded upgrades automatically.

  • Vanilla upgrades use native game commands (TesterUpgradeCommandRPC) to ensure immediate upgrade syncing and visual feedback.

  • Custom/Modded upgrades use a "Safe Sync" method (UpdateStatRPC) to sync values without crashing clients that do not have the custom mod installed.

• Dynamic Vanilla Discovery: The mod now uses reflection to automatically identify valid vanilla upgrades at runtime. This makes the mod highly compatible with future game updates without needing constant patches.

• Improved Late Join System:

  • Refactored late-join logic to hook into PlayerAvatar.Start, ensuring reliable syncing regardless of when a player joins.

  • Added specific safety checks to prevent sync logic from running in non-game scenes like the Main Menu or Splash Screen.

Changed

• Rewrote Shared Upgrades Logic: Moved from a hardcoded list of components to a dynamic stat-monitoring system. This allows the mod to support almost any custom upgrade mod out of the box.

• Since the mod has now been completely rewritten from the ground up since the original fork the mod has now moved to its own standalone Github repository.

[1.3.0] - 2025-11-07

Added

• Implemented native late joining system that supports upgrade syncing like the currently broken LateJoinSharedUpgradesByNastyPablo mod.
• Added late join upgrade syncing to config so it can be enabled and disabled.

Known Issues

• With late join upgrade syncing enabled it only updates upon moving to another level. However, the upgrades will correctly sync at that point and with it disabled the upgrades will be shared instantly. (needs more looking into and testing - been a bit busy)
