Baldi's Basics TUD - Multiplayer Manual

Have you heard of Baldi's Basics Multiplayer before? This version of multiplayer is 10 times better. Don't believe me? Go ahead and try it with a friend!

How do I get access to it?

You can access it by scrolling through your modes and selecting Multiplayer. Baldi's Basics TUD Multiplayer is available in the latest version (V3) for EVERYONE! It's no longer necessary to create a BBTUD Community account.

How do I play Multiplayer?

There are two ways to play multiplayer.

Competitive Mode

If you want to play with one of you as Baldi, select Competitive. You'll be placed in a public room with one other player. If it says "Waiting for Players", wait for another player to join your room. If connected, you'll see their name on the left sidebar.

Once loaded, there's a 50/50 chance you're Baldi or a player. You can open the player list by holding Tab on your keyboard or holding the two-head Baldi button. This game also has a chat feature that can be toggled by pressing T or pressing the "CHAT" button. These keybinds can be changed in your settings.

Cooperative Mode

Do you want to work together instead? No worries, select Cooperative. You'll be placed in a public room with one other player. If it says "Waiting for Players", wait for another player to join your room. If connected, you'll see their name on the left sidebar.

Once loaded, you'll encounter the other player in the elevator. You can now work together to defeat Baldi. You can open the player list by holding Tab on your keyboard or holding the two-head Baldi button. This game also has a chat feature that can be toggled by pressing T or pressing the "CHAT" button. These keybinds can be changed in your settings.

NOTICE:

Public cooperative games have a join-in-progress functionality. If the player leaves, another one can join in.

If you're playing in cooperative mode, all characters will work fine if you're the first player who joined the room. If you're not the first person, some characters may not work as intended since I haven't given them proper multiplayer support.

Here is a list of characters that have multiplayer support and work fine:

• Baldi

• Playtime

• Principal

• It's a Bully

• Arts & Crafters

• Beans (animations aren't synced though)

• Dr. Reflex

• Gotta Sweep (works, but movement isn't smooth)

Here is a list of characters that don't have multiplayer support but sometimes work fine:

• Mrs. Pomp

• Gotta Sweep

Here is a list of characters that don't have multiplayer support and mostly don't work at all:

• 1st Prize

• Chalkles (only active/work fine in Competitive Games that have less than 3 players)

Here is a list of characters that are not active in multiplayer games:

• Cloudy Copter

• The Test

• Real Lockdown Event Guy (event isn't available)

Private Play

Want to host a game yourself? No worries, check the instructions below if you're hosting or joining a game.

Hosting a Game: 

To host a game, click/tap on the button "CREATE". It'll put you in a private room with a code that other players can connect to. Share the code with others so they can join the room.

Joining a Game: 

To connect to a game, type the room code. Once finished, click/tap on the button "JOIN". It'll try to find the room with the code and connect you to it.

Once connected, the host has to start the game. You can face Baldi as an AI or a player depending on the host settings. You can open the player list by holding Tab on your keyboard or holding the two-head Baldi button. This game also has a chat feature that can be toggled by pressing T or pressing the "CHAT" button. These keybinds can be changed in your settings.

Host Settings:

If you're hosting a game, you can customize the following settings:

• Max Players: Choose the number of players that can join your game.

• Random Events: Choose if you want random events to happen in your game. The Real Lockdown event is excluded from multiplayer.

• Second Floor: Choose if you want the second floor to be available. If you don't, the maximum amount of notebooks you can set is seven.

• Notebooks: Choose the number of notebooks players will collect throughout the game. The maximum amount you can set is nine, however, if the second floor is locked, you can only set it to seven. Automatic chooses the number of notebooks for you depending on the number of players in the lobby (1-3 Players = 7 notebooks, 4-6 Players = 8 Notebooks, 7-16 Players = 9 Notebooks).

• Baldi: Choose who can be Baldi in this game. If you select Random, it'll randomly choose who will be Baldi. If you select AI, everyone will spawn as a player just like in Cooperative Mode.

• Join In-Progress: Choose if you want to enable Join In-Progress for this game. Make sure to write the code somewhere since it can't be accessed throughout the game. Join In-Progress cannot work with 2 players if you're playing competitively. If you have collected all the notebooks and begin to start collecting exits, any future players will be spectating.

• You Can Think Pad: Choose if You Can Think Pad will be always used when collecting notebooks. The default will be "Player Decides" where the You Can Think Pad will show based on the player's settings. You can also choose where the You Can Think Pad shows only math problems instead of other subjects.

Wow! That's all!
