DAWNWALKER TOGETHER

Experimental 2-Player Local Split-Screen Co-op

ALPHA v0.1.0

Share one screen. Explore Vale Sangora together.

Dawnwalker Together is an early experimental mod that adds a second local player and horizontal split-screen to The Blood of Dawnwalker. Player 1 uses keyboard and mouse, while Player 2 uses the first connected XInput gamepad.

IMPORTANT: EARLY ALPHA

This is local co-op, not online multiplayer. The original game was designed for one player, so quests, story scenes, menus, saves and many combat systems still assume Player 1 exists. Back up your saves before testing.

CURRENT FEATURES

• Two local players in horizontal split-screen
• Keyboard and mouse stay assigned to Player 1
• First connected gamepad controls Player 2
• Safe Player 2 spawn beside Player 1
• Independent movement, camera and jumping
• Player 2 inherits Player 1 clothing
• Visible longsword for Player 2
• Experimental RB melee combo with animation and damage
• Experimental enemy alert/aggression handoff after Player 2 attacks
• Safe removal and recovery tools

REQUIREMENTS

• The Blood of Dawnwalker on Windows
• Compatible UE4SS installation
• Keyboard and mouse for Player 1
• One XInput-compatible controller for Player 2

INSTALLATION

1. Install UE4SS for The Blood of Dawnwalker.
2. Extract the archive into Dawnwalker\\Binaries\\Win64\\ue4ss\\Mods.
3. Confirm Dawnwalker\\Binaries\\Win64\\ue4ss\\Mods\\DawnwalkerTogether\\Scripts\\main.lua exists.
4. Connect the Player 2 controller before starting the game.
5. Launch the game and load a normal gameplay save.

HOW TO PLAY

• Ctrl + Y — create Player 2 and enable split-screen
• Controller RB — Player 2 experimental sword attack
• Ctrl + U — safely remove Player 2
• Ctrl + F7 — move Player 2 beside Player 1
• Ctrl + F8 — recover/reconfigure Player 2 controller input
• Ctrl + F9 — retry Player 2 appearance/equipment initialization

After loading or restarting from a save, Player 2 may be removed to protect Player 1 control. Press Ctrl + Y again after normal gameplay resumes.

KNOWN LIMITATIONS

• Local split-screen only; no network multiplayer.
• Quests, dialogue, cutscenes and progression belong to Player 1.
• Player 2 has no fully independent native inventory or ability system yet.
• Combat is experimental and is not a complete copy of Player 1 combat.
• Enemy reactions to Player 2 may be inconsistent.
• Menus, cutscenes, fast travel, death and save loading can remove or desynchronize Player 2.
• Some scripted sequences may not support split-screen correctly.

BUG REPORTS

Include what you were doing, the key/button pressed, whether Player 2 existed, and relevant lines from Dawnwalker\\Binaries\\Win64\\ue4ss\\UE4SS.log.
