New Variants

Steel Contraption AD-Shroom Version 1.2.0 introduces new Variants to the game designed by Nebby. The end goal is to have at least one variant per type of enemy. Just Like in the Original Monster Variants, their spawn chance can be changed in the config file. If you don't want any new variants, you can also disable the entire section in the config file.

Configuring the Mod.

This section is for explaining how the Item drop chance mechanic works, since it's not based off the normal % chance ROR2 has.

• The Chance is determined via first rolling a D100, the result of this roll is a Float (a number with decimals).
• It then begins checking if the result from the D100 is LOWER than the reward, in the example below, if the D100 rolled a 1 or lower, then the monster will drop a Red item.
• It First checks for the Red chance, then the Green Chance and then the White chance, so, for example, if the D100 rolled a number that's greater than 6 but less than 10, then it will only drop a white item.

Installation

To install the addon, simply drag the MonsterVariantsPlus.dll onto your plugins folder. Make sure Rob's DLL is also there, or else the plugin will not activate.

Future Plans

• Have Boss variants drop their Boss item based off Chance.
• Polish up the code because rn it's becoming spaghetti code
• Create actually pleasing to the eyes textures for the variants instead of the awful look of some of them cough cough Alpha Bison cough cough
• Wait for Rob to implement DeathState replacers to replace the Wisp Amalgamate's death behavior instead of using a hook, which would increase performance overall.
• Make some wizardry to improve the Wisp Amalgamate's Death explosion & it's light emmiting properties so they arent green.

Contacting

In case you need to contact me regarding a Bug, please create an issue in the Github's Issue Tracker found Here I also hang out in the Official Risk of Rain 2 Modding Discord server under the name of "Nebby" in case you want to contact me for other purposes, such as suggestions or feedback.

Special Thanks

Rob, for making his MonsterVariants mod and helping me a lot with questions i've had KomradeSpectre, for helping me a ton with making the variants have custom skins.
