Splitscreen

1.36 introduced a new feature called "Splitscreen play", which would theoretically allow two (or more if defined properly) players on a single machine "network" through their favorite EDGE mods together. While Ajapted generously wrote this code for 3DGE, I was planning on fixing the secondary input functions and allow key bindings. I was heavily writing code for the Dreamcast platform thus I focused solely on Joystick support for player 2 and not the keyboard. However, this patch never made it in and my knowledge sort of "wained" in regards to the port.

Has anyone taken any interest in this feature? I know in creating it, it introduced a lot of bugs, namely Benefits in EDGE mods, but I never properly finished it because of a lack of interest.

We know doom legacy also uses the split screen feature. I think the code should be released as is, if only to make it available to future edge modders or even other ports.



Just my 10 cents.

The splitscreen code? It was included in 1.36D. I've made very little changes since then.
