Many thanks and kudos to community member Moritz. This mod is based on his hard work for the mod DebugMode.

ModManager is a mod for Green Hell, which aims to be a tool for players who would like to be able to use ModAPI mods in multiplayer when not being host. It can also help troubleshoot mod keybinding issues, as it shows a list of currently loaded mods.

  See more details of a selected mod's runtime config;

Guide for modders
Get mod list and mod details from runtime
ModManager.Data.Interfaces exposes interfaces for used types to create the mod list based on the runtime configuration file.

• IConfigurableMod
• IConfigurableModButton

ModManager.Data.Modding exposes base classes for these types.

• ConfigurableMod
• ConfigurableModButton

ModManager.Managers exposes a ready to use manager for these types.

• ModdingManager with methods
  
  Code:

  public interface IModdingManager { List GetModList(); string[] GetModNamesList(); IConfigurableMod GetSelectedMod(string modID); KeyCode GetShortcutKey(string modID, string buttonID); bool HasConflicts(); }

Adding multiplayer features to a mod

Modders could simply add multiplayer possibility to their mod by importing the ModManager library into their modding project and adding the following properties to the mod class:

Then, use these properties to activate or deactivate a mod feature for multiplayer:

Note, that the value for the property IsModActiveForMultiplayer is depending on the permission set through ModManager.
Modders will need to add an event listener that toggles the IsModActiveForMultiplayer value to support this behaviour:

The result would be for players:

• to use the multiplayer feature automatically, when host sets the permission
• to be able to request the host by chat to use your mod in multiplayer

The client player should send a chat message !requestMods
The host player should then send a chat message !allowMods{randomly generated number}

Should support Debug Mode - one chat request for all is the goal ;)
