Personalized Pickups

This mod attempts to balance the Nuclear Throne Together multiplayer experience by assigning every ammo pickup to a random player in the session. Only that player can use it. This way, in busy lategame fights, when one player is on the "front line" and others slightly behind, everyone gets their fair share of ammo, and not just the front man.

Cursed ammo, big chests, and health pickups are unaffected. Eyes players only pull their own ammo. When a portal opens, pickups fly towards their respective players. The mod can be loaded and unloaded mid-session (ammo pickups become normal again). Respects the game speed factor.

Important note on use with other mods (click to expand)

This mod is implemented by replacing, at first opportunity, every small ammo pickup with a custom object that semi-faithfully mimics the behavior of a vanilla pickup, and replaces itself back with a real one if touched by the correct player.
This means this mod is very likely to break other mods that alter or use the "lifetime" behavior of pickups while they're dropped on the ground. However, it might work fine, for example, with mods that drop their own ammo pickups, or do something when the player has gained ammo. Try and see.

The mod was previously called "Individual Pickups". The itch URL is thus preserved.
