WHAT IT DOES

Description

An experimental way to play with two local players on one PC in a Custom match you host. Player one keeps the normal keyboard and mouse controls. Player two controls a same-team guest bot with a gamepad or numpad/IJKL keyboard controls, using a separate camera. The guest copies your class when it spawns and has no separate Steam login, progression or class picker. Keyboard movement, camera look and independent headbutt/ability state were tested in real private Custom matches. The split HUD is implemented, but its appearance and the remaining gameplay interactions still need testing.

Installation

  1. Close Beetleball and extract the ZIP. Copy BeetleballSplitScreen.dll into the game’s Mods folder, beside Beetleball.exe. Copy the DLL files rather than the enclosing ZIP or package folder.
  2. Use a working full-release Windows IL2CPP MelonLoader installation, then restart the game. Keep only one version of this mod installed.
  3. Do not install with TAS. Host a private Custom match, press F10 to add the guest and F9 to choose player-two input. F8 runs the virtual-controller test and conflicts with Replay’s browser key.

Virtual controller test and keyboard fallback; includes the 0.1.1 startup fix. Later private Custom-match tests verified simulated movement, keyboard look, separate cooldown state and cleanup without changing the release DLL.
