Noita Multiplayer

TL;DR

Currently work in progress and not working unless there is a GitHub release available!

I love to play Noita! You should give it a try! Usually I like to play with my friends. Truly Noita is made for being a single-player game, but I can't get rid of the idea to try implementing a multiplayer mod, just to share all the feelings playing Noita with friends.

Let's see, if I can do so?! I am new to Lua and modding, but someone said to me: "You seem to be asking the right questions".

Used libraries, frameworks and other stuff

Also, special thanks to the people, who share their libraries, frameworks and other stuff. See below!

• custom lua51.dll provided by Noita
• luaJIT-2.0.4 used by Noita
• eNet for network communication
• lua-enet for being able to use eNet in Lua
• sock.lua for 'easy' to use lua-enet and eNet in Lua
• bitser.lua for old serializing and deserializing data
• pprint.lua for debugging with pretty prints
• json.lua for serializing and deserializing data in json format
• nxml.lua for editing xml files used by Noita
• EZGUI.lua for the GUI, but unfortunately it isn't maintained anymore
• lua-watcher.lua for getting the correct save path for Noita
• lfs-ffi.lua for lua file system
• deepcopy.lua for being able to copy tables
• libzstd.dll for being able to compress and decompress data
• zstd.lua for easy to use libzstd.dll in Lua
• lua-MessagePack for serializing and deserializing data
• plotly.lua for plotting profiled data
• dkjson.lua needed by plotly.lua

I had to build the network library by my own, because Noita provides its own lua51.dll. I struggled to build it, if you are interested in, I've added all the necessary build files inside of .building/dll_building.7z and here you can see the stackoverflow question I've created.
