Thinking about adding MCM to your ongoing campaign? Read the thread below

Features

For the mod to work, the server must use the Lua executable file
All game clients, without exception, must be patched with client-side Lua files
The mod accepts commands from the chat (not from the F3 console). Mod commands start with the word 'mcm'
Mod works ONLY in multiplayer campaign
In order for players to appear in the game in the middle of a round, the administrator must enable autospawn of players: mcm client autospawn true, or spawn them manually: mcm spawn <id>. To get the player's id, type: mcm list
If secure mode is enabled, only administrators can freely switch between characters
Crew reserve feature allow you to load/unload characters at any time during the campaign. Check the details on the update notes.

Description

Got only a few friends that you want to play Barotrauma with, but the Bots make game less tolerable? Well worry no more! Kinda ...

Multiplayer crew manager is a modification that makes Multiplayer Campaign play something more similar to the Singleplayer one, in terms that:

Directly controllable bot crew-mates (all crew members are AI controlled bots, that can be possessed by client player)
Crew information panel now also used to switch between crew characters by clicking on them (Full installation needed, see Client-side lua installation)
Server CHAT commands that allows more in-depth control of campaign (especially for server admins), just type in chat mcm or mcm help
Can user mcm release to spectate, or for admins mcm release <client_id> to free characters from AFK players
Enable secure mode if you playing with unfamiliar players to prevent them to gain control between the characters and ruin the game

To keep in mind

To run this mod, as every other LuaCs mod, you must select LuaForBarotrauma server executable in 'Host Server' menu.
ALWAYS keep your campaign files backed up
Be careful with new respawning mechanic, when doing a level transition. Dead bots don't respawn. Character killed count as bots if you play another character whilst your main is dead! To avoid that, look for other mods
Campaign most probably cannot be converted back, without manual editing (xml file), or in-game shenanigans
Every bot, new hire and player is saved into _CharacterData.xml
Respawns are turned off by default, to turn them on use: mcm respawn set true
Respawn interval and maxtransporttime refers to timeout on first person dead and time to arrive to main sub on respawn shuttle.
Secure mode is disabled by default. Use mcm secure and mcm secure true/false to check and toggle it.
