Overview

OC2-Modding is a general purpose modding framework which doubles as an Archipelago MultiWorld Client. It works by using Harmony to inject custom code into the game at runtime, so none of the original game files need to be modified in any way.

When connecting to an Archipelago session using the in-game login screen, a mod file containing all relevant game modifications is automatically downloaded and applied.

From this point, the game will communicate with the Archipelago service directly to manage sending/receiving items. Notifications of important events will appear through an in-game console at the top of the screen.

Overcooked! 2 Modding Guide

Install

  1. Download and extract the contents of the latest OC2-Modding Release anywhere on your PC

  2. Double-Click oc2-modding-install.bat follow the instructions.

Once OC2-Modding is installed, you have successfully installed everything you need to play/participate in Archipelago MultiWorld games.

Disable

To temporarily turn off OC2-Modding and return to the original game, open ...\Overcooked! 2\BepInEx\config\OC2Modding.cfg in a text editor like notepad and edit the following:

DisableAllMods = true

To re-enable, simply change the word true back to a false.

Uninstall

To completely remove OC2-Modding, navigate to your game's installation folder and run oc2-modding-uninstall.bat.

Generate a MultiWorld Game

  1. Visit the Player Settings page and configure the game-specific settings to taste

By default, these settings will only use levels from the base game and the "Seasonal" free DLC updates. If you own any of the paid DLC, you may select individual DLC packs to include/exclude on the Weighted Settings page

  1. Export your yaml file and use it to generate a new randomized game

For instructions on how to generate an Archipelago game, refer to the Archipelago Web Guide

Joining a MultiWorld Game

  1. Launch the game

  2. When attempting to enter the main menu from the title screen, the game will freeze and prompt you to sign in:

Sign-In Screen

  1. Sign-in with server address, username and password of the corresponding room you would like to join.
  • Otherwise, if you just want to play the vanilla game without any modifications, you may press "Continue without Archipelago" button.
  1. Upon successful connection to the Archipelago service, you will be granted access to the main menu. The game will act as though you are playing for the first time. DO NOT FEAR — your original save data has not been overwritten; the Overcooked Randomizer just uses a temporary directory for it's save game data.

Playing Co-Op

  • To play local multiplayer (or Parsec/"Steam Play Together"), simply add the additional player to your game session as you would in the base game

  • To play online multiplayer, the guest must also have the same version of OC2-Modding installed. In order for the game to work, the guest must sign in using the same information the host used to connect to the Archipelago session. Once both host and client are both connected, they may join one another in-game and proceed as normal. It does not matter who hosts the game, and the game's hosts may be changed at any point. You may notice some things are different when playing this way:

    • Guests will still receive Archipelago messages about sent/received items the same as the host

    • When the host loads the campaign, any connected guests are forced to select "Don't Save" when prompted to pick which save slot to use. This is because randomizer uses the Archipelago service as a pseudo "cloud save", so progress will always be synchronized between all participants of that randomized Overcooked! 2 instance.

Auto-Complete

Since the goal of randomizer isn't necessarily to achieve new personal high scores, players may find themselves waiting for a level timer to expire once they've met their objective. A new feature called Auto-Complete has been added to automatically complete levels once a target star count has been achieved.

To enable Auto-Complete, press the Show button near the top of your screen to expand the modding controls. Then, repeatedly press the Auto-Complete button until it shows the desired setting.

Overworld Sequence Breaking

In the world's settings, there is an option called "Overworld Tricks" which allows the generator to make games which require doing tricks with the food truck to complete. This includes:

  • Dashing across gaps

  • "Wiggling" up ledges

  • Going out of bounds See Video
