Coop mode (previously known as Share mode / Singularity mode) is an lua reimplementation of comshare. Cool thing about it: you can do it on the fly. Now with GUI! (see below for screenshots, please give feedback. Yes I did learn how to chili now :D) It is highly customizable, allowing individual configuration per allyteam, support for a minimum time, features an anti-grief system, and has a cool show selection widget (currently WIP next version will highlight units. Perhaps add it as an unsynced gadget hax thing for coloring individual units based on who's controling them).

You can invite players to form a 'squad' which has shared control of resources and units. This works by assigning the player to your teamid via gadget code. The player must accept the invite before the merge can occur (it's verified gadget-side along with some impossibility checks). All team members benefit from squad forming by sharing the players who join squads' income. This is mostly intended for use with friends or clan mates but can be a cool learning tool. Note that you can kick unruly players from your squad (if you're the leader) or leave at any time. They get their old units back, but you keep any new ones. You also benefit from gaining that player's storage cap too! (so a two player squad has a base 1000 metal storage, just like a two com player). You can also request to join a squad too. Invite only is the default mode, however there are "all","clan+invite", and "none" modes which are self-explanatory. This will allow players to come and go as they please. Mostly this is a for-fun big project to keep me busy during the slower summer, and if this feature is desirable I'll PR it when I feel it's in a polished enough state. It also merges similar AIs together (for even more fun!)

Testing generating functions along with buttons in a for loop. Each button just prints its id at the moment, but this can be used to send the gadget a kick or invite command.

Yes, I know about invitar being misspelled. My translation guy had a typo. It's fixed already. Also know about the off centered menu name, dunno how to dynamically fix that.

Ideas, comments, and feedback desired. Will release a new test version when GUI hits a testable stage. Will update this post as development progresses. If you want to help test/follow progress, join #coopmode. I could use more testers both technical and conceptual.
