What was done
A runtime patch loader for Toy Story 3 (PC) that enables 4-player local split-screen and native online co-op by patching the game's player manager and memory in real-time.
The ts3-online project provides online co-op and expands the player limit for the PC version of Disney/Pixar Toy Story 3. By utilizing a proxy dinput8.dll loader, the project patches the game's player manager in memory to support four players instead of the original two. The loader verifies the game's build before applying patches. For online play, each participant runs their own game instance, with one acting as host. Remote players are integrated into the host's game as co-op partners, allowing for shared actions such as running, jumping, and carrying. The project has implemented synchronization for shared game elements like gold, breakable crates, and thrown objects. Development commits frequently credit 'Claude Opus 5.5' as a co-author. While the project supports 4-player local play and online co-op, known limitations include the absence of a HUD for players 3 and 4, and the requirement for players 3 and 4 to re-join after level changes. The project has documented testing for story levels and four-player scenarios in Buzz's game.
