New update for the rando, including Luis as partner, random weapon capacity upgrades, and more changes listed below.
To install the mod, download the .rar file and extract the contents in the game folder. For more instructions, check the video tutorial that is uploaded in the "Videos" section, and also check the Read me file included with the download.
May 8th build changelog:
-Added option to make Luis spawn as a partner in some rooms in early Village and Castle area.
-Added option to randomize weapon capacity upgrades. This affects all weapons.
-More changes related to enemy balance/spawns/variety. Maybe the hardest of all the current releases, but still depending on luck in some ways.
-Selected weapons on their list are now saved for future use.
-No more falling enemies on Novistador 2/3 rooms.
-Chance of Merchant selling the Attache Case XL increased, and its price now randomized.
-Matilda and Hand Cannon have all of their upgrades available, with Hand Cannon exclusive not giving infinite uses.
-There are now 5 options for random enemy health. Note that some enemies like Verdugo are excluded for balancing purposes.
-Fixed crash at Truck room (Island) when Leon jacket ganados were in the room.
Notes:
-Balance in general is not definitive yet and subject to change.
-Luis in the Bingo room may not be 100% stable. There is a low percent of crashes (with HD Project mod mostly) or some kind of softlock depending on what happens during the gameplay.
So, if there is any crash in that room or others, please report it.
-To reset Luis animation/tracking, aim at him.
Excited for this!
I saw you live, it was fun, thanks for playing and good luck for the next runs.
There was a bug found were the stocks/scopes would revert the weapon capacity to default. This will be fixed soon (for next week).
I also noticed that the big mace guys spawn early more often than intended. These and other things reported will also be corrected for next patch.
Does it work in the non-original version? (pirate game)
I didn't test it on pirated versions. Up to you to figure out; my guess is that it may won't work.
Hello! Love the randomizer, just wanted to add this funny little bug: (postimg cc QKpCP9zR) it happend that two Louis spawned on the initial area.
Hi, that's not a bug. That's intended on certain hp settings.
Thanks for confirmation, is it also intended that at the start of chapter 1-2 all enemies are garradors? I tried 3 seeds and they all have 100% garrador population.
No, this is not intended, because there are other enemies that can spawn there, like armaduras, drones, dogs, Mendez, Salvadors, and so on.
If this is a problem, there is something you can do. Before starting the new game/seed, check in the latest seedlog.txt file, the Room 04 of emleon00.esl (usually the 13th line of the file). There you'll see which enemy you'll get.
This is a truly amazing and stable mod and I look forward to keep supporting your nice work on future updates. Congratulations!
Thank you for the kind words. There are more updates coming soon.
Hi, I have this mod and HD Project installed and have encountered some strange slow down in gameplay at different points. I was blaming Luis for it at first because I noticed it in the beginning when there was two of him, but that wasn't the only time so wasn't his fault ;) .
I also ran into a situation where the game crashes going into the second form of Mendez. His first from was swapped out with El Gigante, which required some out of bounds to deal with :) , but once he was dealt with a Verdigo spawned during the cutscene and then shortly after the game crashed. If you have any ideas why this might be happening, I would apreciate it! I would rather not have to start over if I can help it! :D
Hello. May I know your pc specs? This version of the rando will replace some traps and stuff like fish or chicken into other enemies so that makes some rooms a bit more demanding.
About the Verdugo crash, if it's something consistent at the same place then I can remove it from there. Note that I've been testing that enemy there again today and didn't have any issue so I'm not sure what could be causing that.
Sure, I have AMD Ryzen 5 1600X Six-Core Processor (3.60 GHz) and 16.0 GB RAM. I was streaming it on Twitch and that tends to have big resource draw, so that could also be a factor I suppose.
UPDATE: When I tested out my theory of the why the game crashed it seemed to be running quite a bit smoother. I changed a few settings during the last session and one said it wouldn't come into effect until the next load. I think that may have been the one that helped? There was some screen tearing before the "Mendez Fight" but it didn't last long.
UPDATE #2: For some reason starting the game and then the Twitch stream makes it so the game runs just fine. Weird. :D
My theory about the Verdugo crash is that in order to beat the El Gigante I clipped out of bounds, but when I beat him and the second form starts I get immiediately attacked by the Verdugo during the cutscene while I am out-of-bounds, so maybe I am pulling him out-of-bounds with me and that crashes the game?
(I am going to test my theory out quick. I will update if it works.)
UPDATE: I took the El Gigante down inside the bounds this time and it didn't crash after the cutscene played. The Verdugo killed me because I didn't dodge fast enough but that was on me, lol. The game was running better so maybe that helped it not crash? But if you run into El Gigante instead of Mendez maybe be careful not to finish him out-of-bounds just to be safe. :D
All I can say about the performance is that the game runs pretty well on my i5 9400 + gtx 1660 so that could also be either a driver issue, or something with obs or whatever streaming software you are using.
Also note that I did stream the game myself long time ago and didn't had any issue with it either.
If you have trouble again with it I suggest checking your encoding settings on obs, and also check that the cpu/gpu usage while streaming does not go up to 99%.
Hey, I was just playing threw the newest build and I keep crashing at the Krauser fight. During the cutscene everything is invisible except for Krausers TMP and can't initiate it after the dodge prompt. I have attempted to launch a new seed and restore the merchant/enemies but nothing works is this normal or is this issue relatively new?
Hi. Regenerators are causing a crash there; this will be fixed for next update too.
Ahh, yeah that's why. It was a regenerator room. Thanks!
Привет, почему вылетает за эшли где головоломка её в костюме рыцаря?
Hi there,
I downloaded the last update for the rando and placed it exactly like in your video but I still end up with the old version I believe. I don't see the option to add Luis or change any other options other than what the old Seed generetor did. The rando still works like it did earlier but I don't see the new custom options.
Should I delete the whole file from the RESIDENT EVIL 4 folder and try again or something else?
Hi. I think the easiest way to fix this, if the usual method won't work and you have an old version, is to open the downloaded rar file with winrar, go to /bio4/etc/, and once there, drag and drop the _re4rnd.exe directly into the Resident evil 4/bio4/etc/ folder of your game. It will ask to overwrite which you have to confirm.
This version should have the extra options you mentioned, and the release date on the title bar.
Also make sure to be opening the _re4rnd.exe from the /Resident evil 4/bio4/etc folder.
Thank's for the reply, Now everything is up and running like it should!
Nice. Also I recommend to use the latest version instead which fixes some bugs from this one.
