Description
Hello, every adventurous person who somehow ended up finding this mod!!!

READ THIS PARAGRAPH BEFORE PLAYING

1. Change your steam status to invisible
2. Always create new species before playing and add random names
3. Choosing meta origins/ethics/traits isn't recommended if you want to stay anonymous as long as its possible
4. Play like a bot (I know Im good at it)
5. Have more fun than usually ;)))

Mods worth using with AnonymousMP:

Random Species Names - Updated

What is and what does AnonymousMP?

AnonymousMP is an only multiplayer mod, there is not any reason to play it alone. The mod itself deletes every possible (known to me) way of knowing who is the player and who is the AI. Generally speaking it makes it, so the acceptance of any deal with an AI is invisible and removes others normally visible indicators of countries played by human.

There is not only one way to play the mod. You can play it in completely different ways and however you want. You can make your own rule set with your friends or on your server. Pretty much only your imagination and lack of time, since you can play one mp session 10h..., limits your possibilities with the mod.

Compatibility

This mod should be compatible with most of other mods available in the workshop. Unfortunately tho most of UI changing mods will be incompatible tho, but feel free to let me know about them, so there could be possibly done something about it. If you find also any other incompatible mod with AnonymousMP or if you find in general any issues with the mod or have an idea to make it even more enjoyable you are more than welcome to let me know :DD.

Random thoughts I wanted to say lol

Initialy, AnonymousMP was going to be a private mod for me and my friends, but since I had found that people were looking for a way to play this way I decided to make it public. :)

In my opinion, there are two flaws in the mod, which could be fixed...Unfortunately most likely not by me, but by paradox...

1.First thing, which could be found annoying by some people is removed background of a "tooltip". Essentially every time you hover your cursor above any button there is not background for the information that is shown for such button. For example, do you remember how does the information about number of fleets in a system looks like? I'm talking about situation when you want to check fleet power and you hover your cursor on the "ship icon" in a system. I had to remove the background of that thing since some Paradox developer put a "space" in a code, which makes it easy to find out, who is the player if somebody knows what to look for.

2.The second thing is almost completely removed "favors mechanic". You can't use favors anymore anywhere, but only in galactic community. It had to be done, because it was possible to use favors ONLY on AI empires. So again, it was insanely easy to find out what country is being played by a player.

Hopefully tho those two little things that could be annoying won't stop any of you from trying out the mod. Personally I am happy with the result and I believe you will be also :).

List of incompatible mods with AnonymousMP (as for now)

-Ui Overhaul (you can use the mod if you put AnonymousMP BELOW "UI overhaul" in Playsets in Paradox launcher. It will remove some of its features, but AnonymousMP will work flawlessly

No need to tip or anything :). Its enough to let me know mod needs an update. Mod has been updated just now, so hopefully everything works now :)

Hellow, is this working with 3.6.x ? Anyone tried ? If not ? Is it possible to update up to Astral Planes DLC ? That would be great. I would tip you if yes.

Hey @Roseru, I have honestly not idea where I can find the source code nor if I can use it in modding or what programs do I need to use and how to find it all out.
If you have any idea, any sort of link, guide, tutorial, literally anything I'd love to know. Myself, I dont see anything on the internet. Nothing in the game files seems to be the place for a game code. I just dont know man...
Roseru 5 Apr, 2023 @ 12:33pm 
@S4rvin As far as I know Stellaris comes in source code already so you should be able to modify that empty "space" out.

That's unfortunate... thank you for the heads up!

Imperial, yea I'm aware of this "issue" and I described it in "Random thoughts I wanted to say" section. In short I had to delete the background of every tooltip (cuz all of the tooltips are generated in a code and so I cannot remove any specific tooltip without interfering with the rest), because some Paradox developer thought it would be a good idea to put some irremovable "space" in one place in the code (to which I do not have access). Essentially in mp game when you hover your cursor above other player nation it shows "something" "Played by" "something". I removed "Played by" text, but the empty space was still in there. And so for player empires it looked "Something" "Empty space" "something" and for AI empires "Something" "Something". So removing the background was the only option I could do to make that empty space invisible.

Hmmm... I seem to be having an UI issue with this mod, most if not all tooltip backdrops seem to be completely deleted with this mod active (as in completely transparent) and I'd like to just give you a heads up!
