We also improved usage of exp potions. There is more information displayed such as how much exp you get and how many levels you get from using spezific amounts.

New Friend Invite Window:


To introduce coop, we also reworked the whole invite window to handle both gamemodes
As a host you can decide, besides the map, which gamemode to play. There are two buttons and the grayed one is the current selected
