This mod randomizes: most of the enemy spawns, including boss fights, the enemy HP, the items that the Merchant sells, the starting inventory for Leon, and the firepower upgrades. It was made for the Steam, PC version of the game, and it's compatible with the HD project mod.
Description
Small update that fixes some crashes and black screen issues. To install the mod, extract the zip file into the "Resident Evil 4" folder. Detailed instructions and more information are included in the Read me file.

Could you add a folder path selector to navigate to the RE4 directory? I would like to use this on my Steam Deck, but because RE4 has to run in Proton/Wine, the file paths are wrong and it fails. I think it would work if I could just point it to the correct location.
Is there a github or anything is located? I would be willing to take a stab at it myself if I had the source code.
I'll look at it.
In the meantime, you can generate a seed on your computer, if you have the game there, then copy the bin32 folder and the bio4\etc folder to the steamdeck.

That was fast! Thanks for that! Looks like it doesn't work, it's throwing a cannot find file exception, which looks like an issue with it running in Wine and nothing to do with the coding. I tried adding a virtual drive to the Wine prefix that points to the ETC folder, but that failed too.
Thanks for trying though! I did copy over the randomizations from a windows computer and it works just fine!
I don't expect you to support Linux/Wine, but I really thought that that would work!
Have you tried running the randomizer through proton, itself?
Sorry for not approving this comment before. ModDB won't show guest comments until I check those.
Says Error:the merchant will not randomize. My inventory also does not randomize. Already tried uninstalling and reinstalling RE4. I have the HD mod. pls hlp
There is a video tutorial in the Videos section, you can check that + the readme file, to see if the files are placed correctly.
could you update de stamina of the enemies correctly? some has low hp like bella sisters in some maps
Do you enable random HP?
Really fun mod, but you really need to fix enemies dropping ammo for weapon(s) you don't have (mostly just handgun). makes parts like cabin bitch to get tru when you dont get ammo you can actually use.
I can't change their drops yet, or anything related to items.
Do you discard handgun ammo as soon as you get it? I have seen players manipulate the inventory to get shotgun shells. I don't know exactly how it works, but it looks like it has priority, and the less handgun ammo you have, the drop chance will increase. So they keep some bullets with them.
I have a mistake
says application error 142
I know other people had this but I don't know how they solved it. I suggest googling the error message.
Controller stops working everytime I randomize
Does your controller need a special configuration to work with the game? I always play with controller and never had a problem.
are you planing to randomize the free weapons? the shotgun, rocket launcher and broken butterflY?
I can't randomize any of those items at the moment. It's planned to do at some point.
What other functions will the randomizer have?
For the next update, Door rando (if it works) and an option to choose enemy preference.
There is also a chance to include RE Remake Tyrant in the enemy pool, but that one does not depend on me but on the RE4 tweaks developers.
Will there ever be random items?
So what do you do if you want to just play the normal game again? Just generate seed with unticked boxes or something else?
Right clic on the randomizer window - Restore enemies/shop.
Really good mod that let me replay RE4 again, just a small question though, Is a drop rando currently impossible (like, make some fixed drops like treasure into weapons), since currently there's a possibility that you get no handgun throughout the games.
it don't open how i can open the game?
hahahA
Hello i have a constant crash in the chicken farm in the village after you rescued ashley(when ist´s dark and raining)
Are you using V1.93? There should not be a crash there with this version.
I suggest creating a new seed and starting over. If you can't do this, you can also jump rooms with the Debug Menu.
You can also paste here the seed# so I can check later.
So the broken butterfly was a merchant buy early. I noticed it’s fire power was 5.6. When getting to the castle I noticed it jumped to 13. It’s default is 13 so I’m wondering if the castle flag triggers it to go back to base damage fire power stat? |side note the tweaker asked me to apply 4gb patch during launch even though I already had it done. But it did change my ver from 1.06 to 1.1.0 after doing so. Wondering if that had any issue? But I had launched the game many times without it saying to|
Hmmm... I don't recommend patching the game when using the randomizer, because the randomizer itself will copy the 1.0.6 version already patched, since it won't work with 1.1.0... I need to check what re4_tweaks is doing with the executable..
By the way, you getting 13 firepower at the castle may just be a rare coincidence. Check what the rest of the upgrades are.
Important: If it is true that re4_tweaks ask to patch the executable, don't do it.
If it still changes the version to 1.1.0 without applying the patch, I suggest using an older version of re4_tweaks if you play the randomizer, or an older version of the HD project mod (again, with a previous patch).
I can't fully guarantee the rando to work with other mods, depending on what the mods do to the executable.
is there a way to play the regular game instead of the rando as Switching the BIO4 folders and such take up a lot of space
Open the randomizer, right clic the window and choose "restore enemies".
If the rando is updated, then it will have this option more visible.
After installing the mod and starting up a new game, I noticed that some audio issues were present. Like the voice saying "RE4" and upon getting into the game, leon's footsteps and even reload animations have no sound. Any fixes for those?
This is the first time this is reported and I am not sure what would be the cause of it. Not related to the rando I think.
Hi just wondering if this mod is still be worked on and what your plans for the future onit and what you will be adding please
The plan was doing a door randomizer and randomizing the rest of the Merchant upgrades and such. The problem is that my current pc does not run RE4 so... it may take a while.
Having an issue..the mod randomizes the inventory and such just fine and the enemies too..but only kinda. I've seen vids about this mod with all sorts of mid to late game enemies at the start. For me tho it only randomizes out of the pool of normal starting enemies. So instead of just normal villagers they'll have tnt and what not but theyre not rly random. Have tried multiple seeds. Any box i havent ticked perhaps?
The latest version, in the early game, tends to give more of the easiest enemies. Note that some rooms, like the Bingo room, will only give ganados or Island guys no matter what you use.
If you still have a problem with thit you can try version 1.8, which has the enemy balance you mentioned.
And don't tick "safe enemies" option. That will force "villagers" (instead of Island guys) in the Bingo room and a few others.
game crashing when i press new game and pick difficulty, did exactly as shown above and its not working
Are you using the HD version mod?
Check the video tutorial and the readme file to see if the files were correctly extracted.
this mod work on re 4 from ubisfot?
It won't. Only Steam hd version.
bro how to fix this error i've tried everything : 0xc0000142
will the mod work if i didn't download steam version ???
I think, yes!
I don't use RE4 non-steam version and I don't know if it will work. Probably not, but you won't lose anything trying.
I have the randomizer mod with HD project, it didn't prompt me the 4gb patch but sometimes while playing the stage would disappear and the entities like breakable boxes and enemies are the things still there .
I have no idea what could be causing this.
The game closes when it reaches the clock part, I don't know why but it's already happened twice, what can I do? I have the HD
If it's after a cutscene, try not skipping it.
