Spending is separate, there's no syncing involved with losing collectibles in any way, just when you obtain things

I’m planning on playing this game with my BF soon, do currencies get spent if they’re synced up together? If I spend my tokens to buy a cosmetic, will he still have his coins? Worried that if I disable cosmetic sharing he won’t get anything but it will spend the tokens for both of us.

Part 1

I've played with this mod before with a friend. Just as an important note when you're going to play through the entirety of AHIT with a partner with this mod. Inorder for that partners game to be in sync at all times they must be online in the spaceship before playing any levels for EVERYTHING to sync like collecting pons, pins, time pieces, and badges. Otherwise, if the partner is offline and you get more pons than earlier and they rejoin you online that in particular will be de-synced and won't tracked correctly anymore. This can often happen to anything that you have turned on as synced in this mod.

Part 2

Normally, in a game with this type of online feature in mind many developers will employ a server between the players games which in that case you won't need to worry about changes because the server keeps track of everything (Think of Minecrafts online mode it uses servers for it's worlds). However in terms of AHIT this game does not have that functionality built-in since GFB didn't originally think of adding it.

I'm totally skipping over Peer-to-peer because that one is a bit more complicated to explain. AHIT actually uses Peer-to-peer through steam for it's online mode FYI.

Noted, thank you very much! :)

Hi! So, the way this mod works requires that any players be in the lobby at the same time, doing so asynchronously would introduce a lot more questions and potential for abuse (imagine that in public lobbies...). She would need to do it herself since she was not there at the time the sync was sent!

So I have this and it works, but I decided to play by myself a bit since there was a Death Wish that was hard to do together while my partner was offline. Now that I did them, its not syncing the progress I did on my own to her account. Should she have it when in a room with me or does she have to do it herself too now since she wasn't there?
We did all other progress together and it worked perfectly fine to be clear! :)

Does anyone know if achievements are working for all players?
Venus 29 Nov, 2024 @ 11:50am 
Both me and my friend are in the game with the mod and everything enabled but it is not working
SingGuang 24 Jul, 2024 @ 9:18am 
No wonder my Pon increases even though I am staying in the Spaceship with this mod lol
Azarilh 6 Mar, 2024 @ 12:33pm 
If i convince my partner to play it with me! xd
EpicYoshiMaster  [author] 5 Mar, 2024 @ 12:28pm 
It better! If it doesn't let me know LOL
Azarilh 4 Mar, 2024 @ 3:32pm 
Does this still work? :3
EpicYoshiMaster  [author] 11 Dec, 2023 @ 9:27am 
Not quite, unfortunately boss fights are their own special trouble due to something called "alwaysloaded" which makes it very difficult to mess with them. Most level progression things aren't controlled by this, ex. Ship Shape tasks won't sync, the bomb timer, but level flags like the subcon walls or the alpine horns will, since those are easy to track.

If someone was ambitious enough, I'm sure those things could be done too, it's just a lot harder to accomplish!
CokedBadger 10 Dec, 2023 @ 6:55pm 
Correct me if I'm wrong but this does sync level progression, so it only takes 1 player to trigger the Train Rush bomb timer, for example. Does this also let players play boss fights together?

this mod now works on the experimental beta
EpicYoshiMaster  [author] 18 Mar, 2022 @ 6:37pm 
Hey! Online Party is currently a lot of issues, I'll probably have to wait until those are resolved before anything can happen with this mod.

Im a little confused as both me and my friend installed the mod and have everything enabled. we made a private lobby but still we dont seem to be getting each others stuff at all. I dont see anyone else having problems with it, so im pretty lost rn.
Echo?! 24 Feb, 2022 @ 10:57pm 
Ah gotcha, thanks for the update! Hope the refactoring/restructuring goes well!
EpicYoshiMaster  [author] 24 Feb, 2022 @ 1:31pm 
As far as I'm aware I haven't heard of anything that should be breaking this mod! I'm currently in the long haul process of completely rewriting this one from scratch, so unfortunately I won't be able to update it until I have that far enough that I'm happy with it.
Echo?! 24 Feb, 2022 @ 1:13am 
is this mod still working? it seems like a recent update broke online party plus and me and my co-op partner arent able to collect things for eachother
EpicYoshiMaster  [author] 9 Jan, 2022 @ 7:41am 
Unfortunately no! Ship Shape is a huge task to sync and would require its own mod to really cover its scope, the only thing that will sync is the full stamp clears of the Ship Shape Death Wishes.
Raoul1808 9 Jan, 2022 @ 5:25am 
does this mod work on Ship Shape? (and its death wish and custom death wishes maybe)

how join parties
binary 7 Nov, 2021 @ 7:50pm 
ok so she disabled and reenabled it mid game and now i have everything she had unlocked
binary 7 Nov, 2021 @ 7:19pm 
yeah we're both using this
EpicYoshiMaster  [author] 7 Nov, 2021 @ 7:05pm 
You sure you've got the right mod? That sounds like Online Party Plus
binary 7 Nov, 2021 @ 6:42pm 
does this not work anymore cause me and my friend cant see our hats sync even though thats enabled and we both have it installed
Drexl 13 Jul, 2021 @ 3:45am 
Any conflicts with Online Party Plus?
EpicYoshiMaster  [author] 19 Jun, 2021 @ 5:24am 
This mod is for Online Party and specifically for collectibles, so things like Time Pieces and Yarn. It tries to give a closer experience to local co-op, but it does not sync things like bosses or enemies as those are much more difficult to do.
TrustedIntruder7 18 Jun, 2021 @ 7:13pm 
does this mod works online? like local co-op but online party multiplayer? like when a boss dies it dies for everyone in the game?
EpicYoshiMaster  [author] 28 Feb, 2021 @ 9:32am 
Nope! This mod is primarily for syncing collectibles, something like that is up to the mod makers of Shadow Puppet Plus to implement for themselves
Orio 28 Feb, 2021 @ 8:59am 
does it give me the ability to FREAKIN AFFECT OTHER PLAYERS WITH SHADOW PUPPET PLUS'S LASERS?

동기화가 어떻게 된다는 건지 사실 잘 모르겠다...
EpicYoshiMaster  [author] 18 Dec, 2020 @ 7:22pm 
Ah, I bet the ticket gates need to be refreshed when you get a new pass like that. If I ever update again I'll be sure to get that fixed!
Scarlett of Caelin 18 Dec, 2020 @ 6:11pm 
This is an extremely useful mod, though I have noticed it has some slight issues in Nyakuza in particular. In order for everything to properly sync up you need to return to the ship and then go back in the level. Not too big of a deal, but it does stop you from using a metro pass if someone else buys it while you both are in the level until you reload it.
EpicYoshiMaster  [author] 20 Oct, 2020 @ 10:01am 
Happens with a lot of mods sadly, don't think anyone is too sure what the specific cause is.
Lexi Lunarpaw 20 Oct, 2020 @ 9:29am 
so i went in the config menu to change settings than it crashed 0/10
FallFox 6 Oct, 2020 @ 1:50pm 
Best mod <3
EpicYoshiMaster  [author] 28 Aug, 2020 @ 11:50am 
It only syncs things collected WHILE you play together
Faye 28 Aug, 2020 @ 11:39am 
This looks amazing, I've been looking for a way to play co-op with my online friends without using Remote Play! A quick question, though: If I join my friend's file while using my 100% complete file, will it automatically give her everything I've collected before? Or does it only sync things someone collects WHILE you're playing together?
Devil Might Cry V 18 Jul, 2020 @ 6:37pm 
No, I'll definitely join it though, thank you.
EpicYoshiMaster  [author] 18 Jul, 2020 @ 4:25pm 
Well, that's actually out of my area of expertise, haven't touched much in terms of in-level syncing. I was referring to it being possible to implement within your own mod separately. Are you in the Main Hat Discord? There's a modding section there that might be able to help!
Devil Might Cry V 18 Jul, 2020 @ 3:12pm 
Any chance you can help with that? either by adding it to the mod, or sharing the method to implement it? The lack of syncing is the last thing for my map to go fully public. I am happy to link it to you so you can see.
EpicYoshiMaster  [author] 18 Jul, 2020 @ 2:40pm 
This mod does not handle that form of syncing, but it is possible to implement things like that!
Devil Might Cry V 18 Jul, 2020 @ 2:05pm 
I might need this to get my map working.
Devil Might Cry V 18 Jul, 2020 @ 2:04pm 
Does this sync buttons and event?
EpicYoshiMaster  [author] 10 Jul, 2020 @ 6:54am 
Thank you for playing with this mod!! <3
FknSparkles 10 Jul, 2020 @ 2:25am 
Thank you for making this mod! <3
EpicYoshiMaster  [author] 10 Jun, 2020 @ 3:11pm 
No problem!
