Launches the game through modengine w/ DEN Maps & Seamless Co-op
This mod adds 8 completely new maps to the game which can feature multiple arenas, depending on the map. They can be found and traveled to via the in-game map menu. Almost every map has a 2v2 version as well.
Seaside Arena
Lava Bridge
Observatory
Dueling Square
Snowy Outpost
Crumbling Island
Crystal Lake
Eternal City Courtyard
Grand Library
Here's a quick summary of the various Quality-of-Life features and items you can find on our maps
Starting Arrow Stones: Every arena features interactable stones next to their entrances that fire a starting arrow. This can be used to coordinate when a match starts.
Respawning in 2v2 Arenas: Dying in a 2v2 arena will revive you in a similar fashion to how United Combat does in the vanilla game. It has been designed a bit differently to avoid spawn-killing and other issues.
2v2 Match Timer: Using a starting arrow stone on a 2v2 map will additionally start a 5 minute timer, with a 30 seconds remaining warning and a second projectile to indicate when the match ends.
Multi-map play: The map is usable at all times in this mod, and doesn't require a vote for players to travel. Players can exist between multiple maps at once in the same session without any of the usual desync issues.
No Seamless Rot: Seamless Co-op has a PvE balance feature where subsequent deaths builds up "Rot". A series of special items that stack various debuffs on your character which are only cleared upon resting a grace. Since this is a PvP mod, this feature is disabled for obvious QoL reasons.
Item: Braid of Marika: Use this item to toggle on/off automatic revival on death.
Regressive Grease: Use this item to quickly and on-demand fully heal and restore your character to it's normal state, a bit like using a grace.
O'Jar of Plenty: Use this item to toggle on/off infinite usage of goods.
More to come: There's a lot more features we are actively working on to improve the player experience, add new gamemodes and improve existing ones
