Co-op Tweaks is a simple addon I made to improve the co-op experience. I recently started playing the campaign with friends online, and while I know the game well, they've never touched it before. So as I figure out some points of friction in our experience, I'll try to develop some tweaks to help with it. If you have any suggestions for new tweaks, I'm all ears! Right now there's only one tweak: name tags.


Name Tags

The Name Tags feature places a name tag on-screen directly below every other player. This tag can be seen through walls, and if the other player is off-camera, it will stay on the edges of the screen. With this, you will never lose track of where your friends are!
Features:
  • Shows the distance between you two if you're more than 10 meters away.
  • Works in chase-cam (third person) as well as in first-person.
  • Works when gravity is flipped, regardless of the camera being inverted.
  • Works in single-player with the Tails bot, in multiplayer split-screen, and in multiplayer online.
  • If the name tag is blinking that means the other player just died!
Notes:
  • You can enable/disable this tweak with the cot_name_tags console variable.
  • The logic that keeps the name on the screen edges when the other player is off-screen is not perfect. Let's just say I've spent a dozen hours too many trying to polish this blasted algorithm! It should be more than enough for normal use though.
Special thanks:
  • Whisper on Discord for some beta-testing.

Very nice but simple mod! An Idea I'd like to see is a command that lets you pin what player is most important (can be helpful if playing in a big, multiplayer server). The pinned player can have a "*" symbol next to their name, the nametag can be yellow (or a custom color), or all of the unimportant nametags will disappear. It's your choice, however. :)

Very nice addon to have when playing co-op with someone who isn't exactly familiar with the level layouts!
