Thronefall Multiplayer (community-updated)

Community fork of Thronefall Multiplayer by Rikhardur Bjarni Einarsson (BadWolf). All credit for the mod goes to BadWolf, who archived the original in Feb 2024 and invited others to fork and release it with credit. This build only updates it to run on the current (2024+) Thronefall, which broke the original 1.0.5 release on load.

Using the Steamworks backend and API to connect players in Thronefall to play together in a true multiplayer experience. Each player selects their own weapon to bring into battle as you build a town together against the growing tide of enemies.

Changelog

1.0.8 (community update)

Netcode overhaul (round 2): fixed a bug that resent every unit's full path each frame (flooding the network); client enemies/allies now keep their local movement prediction and fold the host's authoritative position in as a smoothly-decaying correction (instead of trailing behind), with a hard snap for teleports/respawns; capped sync to ~20 Hz so it no longer scales with the host's frame rate. Synced pawns should track the host much more tightly.

1.0.7 (community update)

Netcode: tightened client position correction for players/allies/enemies so synced pawns track the host closely instead of trailing by seconds (large errors now snap instead of slowly catching up). Also shows the shared gold on the treasury counter.

1.0.6 (community update)

Recompiled against the current Thronefall; fixed the load crash (CameraRig.TransitionToTarget hook) and a series of in-level NullReferenceExceptions introduced by the game update (camera/RVO/minimap/treasury/unit-type display, ally & enemy pathfinder sync, gate logic). See the GitHub repo for the full commit list.
