Not important, but think i found my first seed with a missing item, was the crossbow missing (though annoyingly had a decent amount of bolts drop)

though curiously did find a Beretta pistol, which I don't think I've seen in a rando yet. and had 2 rocket launchers drop (one in the police station, and one in the marshalling yard)

Seed# 44570

please note, I'm not complaining, just wondered if that was normal behaviour and if not just wanted to give a little heads up. after finishing my run did take a peek at the log, and unless im mistaken from back in my ps1 gameshark days, didn't see the crossbow anywhere in the seedlist (from memory crossbow should be hex 09 right?)

honestly duke, i love your randomizer, its a lot more user-friendly than the biorand one (which ive had no end of troubles either getting it to run or getting malware warnings) whereas yours just works great. i saw your patreon post about taking up writing if you decide to give up on your randos, and whilst it will be a bit of a disappointment, i wish you the best in whatever you choose to do.

Though if you do keep working on your rando stuff, a enemy slider would be nice if its possible, sometimes im in a masochistic mood and just want to deal with a combat heavy run rather than my usual ducking an weaving.

either way, all the best

On the virus detection front I know you can't do much about it. Just wanted to give you a heads up.

Honestly I think I'll go back to the other rando. Sure I did enjoy the features of yours. But when it only works under very specific circumstances, its not worth the headache.

Ill wait a few revisions then come back to it to see if anythings changed.

Thanks for the assistance regardless, just unfortunate that I didn't have any luck with fixing it.

Thanks for the reply, i deleted the biorand folder in my app data and no dice, still getting the same issue. have tried doing a completely fresh install of biohazard 2 (with the REbirth patch as the only mod installed) and its giving me the same issue (cant access main23.sap but it changes the file its having issues with each new seed)

also dunno if its just me, but i downloaded the update that dropped a few hours ago and when i tried running it malwarebytes threw up a warning and tossed the EXE into quarantine.

claimed the file was suspect with machinelearning-anomalous-100% as the details. not sure if its just because its a recent release, a false positive, or the download from github is infected with something (unlikely i know) just wanted to give you a heads up (perhaps a overly aggressive antivirus might explain my issues. im going to set up a virtual machine over the weekend and see if it works on that with a totally clean install for everything)

nope, nothings running save for my internet browser on a seperate monitor which shouldn't effect anything. and the older 2.0.3 works fine, just the later versions just wont seem to behave.

For some reason its giving me a random "can not access file because its being used by another process" the strange thing is it seems to be a random .sap file that the app is claiming is being used by another process, but using a older version (v2.0.3) works just fine.

From the last 3 runs the files its having issues with are main23.sap / main11.sap / main34.sap

I have both RE1 and RE2 installed with the Rebirth patches. and have tried both running the app with and without admin permissions, also my RE2 folder isn't set to read only.

any suggestions?

Also is there any way to get the app to remember the directories you set? its a little annoying to have to dig in my file folder to reinput them every time i run the app.

Hi there, is it possible to just use the character models without changing how the rooms look? I really appreciate the amount of love that has gone into this mod, but I feel that RE2 loses some of its charm with upscaling the backgrounds, but I love the new character and enemy models. any chance there's a way to have just animated character sprites in hi res, but leave the backgrounds the classic ones, I dunno what it is they just feel a bit too sharp and sorta feels like a SFM map rather than resident evil 2. but if i could just have the sharper character sprites with the classic backgrounds that would be epic. as im not too keen on the backgrounds and the inventory models.

if its not possible then no worries, but if it is that would be epic.

regardless love the work that's gone into the mod
