Rain Meadow

Description
A multiplayer engine, custom game mode, and online arena / story experience for Rain World!

The Watcher campaign is PARTIALLY supported. Expect bugs.

How it works

  • For the best possible experience, disable all non-essential content mods. If you're experiencing crashes, try with less mods on.
  • Click the Meadow button to get to the lobby list. Join a lobby or host your own!
  • By default Rain Meadow uses Steam to find and create lobbies. Lan matchmaking is also possible.

Game Modes

Meadow

  • Explore a peaceful version of Rain World, encounter other players, roam together gathering unlocks to unlock new emotes, skins and creatures.
  • Custom emoting to communicate by @Wolfycat!
  • Sound effects to communicate
  • Hour-long original soundtrack by @Intikus!
  • Hand-built creature navigation

Story

  • Vanilla campaigns available by default
  • Access other campaigns through the "Experimental Features" remix option
  • Currently-supported campaigns: Survivor, Monk, Hunter, Artificer, Gourmand
  • Campaigns not listed above are NOT supported and will likely desync or crash on any special events
  • Host can only play as the campaign slugcat, clients can select slugcats other than the current campaign
  • Food requirement is determined by the current campaign. Food nourishment is determined by the player's slugcat regardless of current campaign

    • e.g. Hunter in Survivor's campaign can eat meat
  • All ingame players, dead or alive, MUST be present at a karma gate to continue

    • Dead players can exit to lobby to allow others to continue
  • Do not attempt to grab or piggyback players as it WILL break the game
  • You may den in separate shelters within the same region

Arena

  • Currently offers Competitive (PvP) mode
  • Dens open when the rain comes or when there's only one scug left standing
  • Countdown timer ensures all players have a chance to grab weapons before attacking; Prevents some slugcat abilties
  • Saint by default uses ascendance as the mode of attack. Switch to Sain't abilities via Remix
  • All levels are unlocked. Some levels are "multi_stage". Some levels do not spawn items due to that levels' pre-baked code.

Communication (Story and Arena only)

  • Press "Enter" to open chat
  • Press "J" to show usernames and player icons
  • Press "Tab" to open the spectator menu

Moderation (Story and Arena only)

  • Host can kick players via the spectator menu; Clients can mute players
  • Kicking players prevents them from rejoining your current lobby

    • The ban does NOT carry between lobbies

Mod Compatibility

  • Mods that add regions/campaigns/creatures/items need to be synced between all players, including load-order.
  • There's a modsync tool that will prompt you to enable/disable/install missmatched mods, but it's not completely foolproof.
  • You can tweak what mods are subject to modsync as the host by adding them to the `meadow-highimpactmods` textfile in StreamingAssets.
  • The community-maintained mod compatibility spreadsheet can be found here[docs.google.com]

@caduesquirrelgirl Seems that mod just made it to where you could swap slugs as the host, but thats built into Meadow now. The issues I was having were desync, or going through a pipe only to not go to the next room and just be stuck permanently. If my tentacles touched my buddy he'd spaz out and the game would think he died.

Add an option where lizards can bite and grab other creatures like real lizards do (doesnt kill players, just grabs.) also make a option to disable and enable this feature! There should be a pvp mode for lizards too! So pink lizards can REALLY hate eachother! just ideas. you dont HAVE to add them.

I've been playing with my friend who lives like across Korea from me and I've noticed that scavenger-thrown spears just can't hit us. They can hit other stuff including slugpups, but other than that the spears just pass through. Idk if this is just a distance related thing or something wrong with the mod.

noodleflys bugging i think- when you stay in water for a minute or two, you automatically just start going left and cant go anywhere else
and you glitch through walls

@Abracadabra theres a mod that lets you add the rot and some others. i think its called Pocky's Meadow Tweaks and Features ?
Abra⁧⁧cadabra 11 Oct @ 3:34pm 
Anyway to make this work with Not slugcat playables? Specifically the rot? It works somewhat, but there are a lot of desync issues. I presume it'd be impossible to make it work well but though I'd ask anyways.

The official RainWorld discord has a LFG channel. We've also got our little playtesting discord linked in the github description
