InputsLayer 1.0.0 (abi 1)

InputLayers adds a layer system on top of the sm64coopdx controller. A layer is a named input context - only callbacks registered for the currently active layer receive input, everything else is silently ignored. The base game itself sits in one of these contexts, so vanilla controls stay untouched until the player deliberately switches away.

Instead of every mod competing for the same handful of buttons, each mod claims its own context. The player cycles between contexts on the fly with a reserved key, and a compact animated HUD on the right side of the screen shows which one is active.

Why it's worth using​

• No more button conflicts — each mod gets its own input context; other mods' bindings can't fire while yours is active.
• No more key shortage — A, B, Z, C-buttons and the stick are reused across contexts, so you're not limited by the controller.
• Full control schemes — build combat, menus, tools, camera modes, minigames, or anything else that needs its own set of bindings.
• Modal by design — a layer can absorb input entirely, so a pause menu can swallow every button press while it's open.
• Zero commitment — register one layer and one action, ignore the rest of the API. No dependencies, nothing is replaced.
• Global hooks included — bind actions that fire regardless of context, perfect for hotkeys, debug toggles, or shared behavior.
• Built-in HUD — the active layer is drawn automatically, with a per-layer accent color and smooth fade in/out so it never gets in the way.
• Layer-aware extras — listen for layer changes, draw UI only while a given layer is active, query the current layer or list all registered ones.
• Safe to detach — every hook has a matching unsubscribe, so a mod can clean up completely when it unloads.

IMPORTANT: This mod does not automatically fix all other mods! It only provides the necessary tools and API. It will not work until other developers integrate it into their own mods. However, I plan to release custom builds for few mods that are no longer updated, where I will add support for this mod myself.
