StartBonusMod

server-side mod - only the host needs it installed.

This mod gives every player a configurable set of items and starting cash at the beginning of a run. I made it so that I can use StartInBazaar in combination with BiggerBazaar and BazaarIsMyHaven. This mod is also compatible with InLobbyConfig and ProperSave.

Starting Cash

• Configure how much starting cash the player shall receive.

Simple Start Bonus Items

• Simply choose for each tier which starting item and how many the player shall start with.
• There is also the option for a random item.
• Easiest to configure this is using InLobbyConfig or Gale Mod Manager.

Advanced Start Bonus Item List

A more involved item list which gives you powerful operators to really customize the item list you want to start with.

• ItemList:
  • Defines what items players start with as a plain text string.
  • Items can be individual names, tiers, drop tables, or grouped sets with operators.
  • Separate item groups into AND lists (& operator) or OR lists (| operator), which cannot mix at the same level.
    • Example: 5xTier1 & 3xTier2 - Players start with 5 whites and 3 greens.
  • Equipment and items can be both specified in the same list. If multiple equipments are resolved, only as many are given as the survivor can hold.
    • Example: { BFG & 10xAutoCastEquipment } | { EliteFireEquipment & StrengthenBurn } - Players start either with a Preon Accumulator and 10 Gesture of the Drowned or with Ifrit's Distinction and 1 Ignition Tank
  • For the full documentation see ItemStringParser.

3.2.0

• Players who join a run in progress, e.g. with DropInMultiplayer, only get the start bonus while the run is still in the Bazaar before the first stage
• New LateJoiners setting, off by default: players who join a run in progress get the start bonus too

3.1.0

• Updated for Risk of Rain 2 1.5.0. Requires ItemStringParser 2.1.0.
• Fix starting cash, which the update broke.
• Simple Item List: also offers the new Cursed, Hex and Page tiers. Tiers without items are skipped.
• Starting equipment goes into the slot the game would use for a pickup, also with several equipment slots.
• Advanced Item List: equipment fills empty equipment slots first; equipment that doesn't fit drops next to you.
• A random item that can't be picked no longer stops the other starting items.
• Simple Item List: choices no longer reset to None when the game or a mod adds items. Saved choices are converted.
• Fix a random Lunar starting item sometimes giving nothing.
