Multiplayer

The multiplayer API provides methods to support modding in a multiplayer context:

// get a unique multiplayer ID (e.g. for animal IDs)
int uniqueID = this.Helper.Multiplayer.GetNewID();

// get the locations being sync'd from the main player
foreach (GameLocation location in this.Helper.Multiplayer.GetActiveLocations())
