Empress LateJoin v2.4.0

A host-only late join mod for REPO that lets players join during a run, not just from the shop lobby.

What this mod does

Empress LateJoin lets players connect while the host is already in a level.

Players can join on any level, not just the shop lobby
If someone joins mid-run, they may see a loading screen, black screen, or the level from a weird camera view
This is expected
They are not fully spawned into the run yet
They just need to wait until the next level switch
Once the level changes, waiting players are pulled in and spawned properly
Existing players may see late joiners floating, hovering, or not moving before the level switch
That is also expected
It does not mean the mod failed

99% of console warnings/errors during late joining are harmless
Only report real issues that affect gameplay, and I will fix them
Only the host needs the mod
Clients do not need it installed
Late joiners should wait until the next level switch before assuming anything is broken
Floating players before the level switch are normal
Weird camera views, loading screens, or black screens before the level switch are normal
This works on any level handoff, not just the shop lobby
Ignore console warnings and errors unless there is an actual gameplay issue
