Snowtime Stages

A work in progress mod intending to add a pack of stages for the standard loop.

Currently adds a full loop of artstyle-clashing maps from Halo: Combat Evolved, Halo 2, Halo 3, and Garry's Mod.

Bug Reports

Please report any issues via Discord to snowysnowtime (Snowy Snowtime) either through the Risk of Rain 2 Modding Discord or by DMs.

I will not personally DM anyone asking for help with a mod or for you to download something. If it isnt in the Risk of Rain 2 Modding Discord's #map-creation channel, assume the worst.

1.0.2

• added artifact portals to halo/halo(alt)/flatgrass
• fixed solus mines spawning on certain maps

1.0.1

• emergency release, accidentally flattened the mod, so it no longer loaded

1.0.0

• i did not do everything i wanted to do with this mod, but i am burnt out from snowtimestages. it will be on LTS, only receiving maintenance for bugfixes and game updates.
• Custom Lunar Teleporter now properly locks all interactables.
• ERROR has been removed. Will be making a new mod soon to reimplement them PROPERLY later. Likely going to be a singleton.
• All Halo CE stages can now have the 3 day types of Dusk/Afternoon/Night, weighted 3/5 to whichever is its default and 1/5 for the alts. Excludes Gephyrophobia.
• Sandtrap also has a darker "Night Time" version but w/e.
• High Charity can now be played without Ultra LOD, and has been enabled by default.
• Delta Halo is off by default. Not enough mental capacity to fix it, but considering most of its work is done, i can probably add to it later if i ever feel like it.
• Lemurian Eggs now spawn in whilst using Devotion artifact.
• REMOVED ODST MOMBASA. it was too much for me to handle solo.
• Legendary Chests on Sandtrap are $400 again since im instantiating their prefab. I dont want to bother making clones in code.
• thank you everyone for playing the mod. it still means a lot to me, so itll stay updated, but dont expect any new stages from other games anymore from myself.

0.9.99

• stage 1 is guaranteed not to spawn bosses anymore for bloodgulch.
• void seed selection weight reduced by half

0.9.98

• wow i really might need 0.9.100 at this rate
• Fixed an issue where on New Mombasa Bridge, enemies would fall off but simply walked in or on water (whoops, not sure how that evaded me after all this time)
• Fixed newt altar spawns on ALL stages (it was min 0 max 0, meaning on most stages they never spawned! and some stages didnt even have the newt altars defined...)
• Added check for DLC3 so that players dont get the guaranteed spawns with the DLC disabled
• someone had their drones ated and it was really funny
• Added guaranteed spawns for the Drone Upgrade/Drone Scrappers from DLC3 for Halo and Halo(Alt)
• now its not just gephyrophobia that operator players can look forward to,,,
• still havent fixed broken materials on the stage-guaranteed chests...

0.9.97

• Forgot to remove the language for the difficulty

0.9.96

• Split the custom difficulty to a separate mod

0.9.95

• Fixed custom lunar teleporter outright softlocking the player when they want to go to the moon

0.9.94

• Fixed Platinum Chest being a POS
• Normalized all of the music for the stages, they are no longer nearly random in volume
• Attempt to make Halo/Halo(Alt) much more reasonable to play by adding two jump pads to the former and making the river increase your speed in the latter
• Corrected boss music on Halo/Halo(Alt)
• (I will fix broken materials for opening certain chests on these stages next update)

0.9.93

• Added 2R4R support (kinda), as it has native support for SnowtimeStages
• This is just language atm, but later on it'll be a bit more unique using items from 2R4R
• I don't play with 2R4R all that frequently so I apologize for any broken keyboards

0.9.92

• Added missing DLC3 support to Gephyrophobia
• Fixed missing music on Halo/Halo(Alt)
• Fixed all portals being incorrect prefabs on custom teleporters
• Re-Added custom lunar teleporter to stage 5's

0.9.91

• ...this was the default. so it was just bricked. i am a stupid

0.9.90

• Updated to work after Alloyed Collective
• Many other things were done, mostly compat
• Stages will feel different, need to still adjust as needed
• High Charity is no longer enabled by default; the map still needs time to bake. You can re-enable it at your own discretion
• Mombasa Streets was included early in this update as an opt-in stage. I wanted to get the main stages out first before finishing it. Beware of low framerate; The stage is not polished in the slightest

0.9.61

• (im stupid i accidentally uploaded as 0.9.6, which is technically an "earlier" version than 0.9.51)
• Added mvm_mannhattan
• Added teleporters to Gephyrophobia, Ice Fields, and Sidewinder
• Updated Sidewinder, upper floor is now accessible via the ladders (secretly a no-grav zone)

0.9.43

• Increased Error spawn cost by 2x
• Updated config to actually skip loading stages scenedefs, and modified the scenedef loading function so the mod doesnt just load all present scenedefs
• Music volume reduced by request

0.9.42

• Updated ALL Poiyomi materials to 9.2
• Foliage now appropriately sway
• Tweaks to all materials
• Updated Sandtrap to be visually closer to its original counterpart

0.9.41

• Disabled Legendary Spawn Mults until I can confirm it is fixed in the future

0.9.40

• Added gm_bigcity, only accessable on stage 4 via the Bazaar
• gm_bigcity is a MESS simply to find anything. Good Luck.
• Updated Post-Process to play nice with everyone else
• Added the Microsoft GCUR guidelines and Poiyomi Shaders TOS from Github to Thunderstore upload for extra caution

0.9.34

• Fixed an issue where Legendary would break all monster spawns on consecutive runs after your first, even if you never selected it

0.9.33

• Difficulty icon by PlNK
• last update in quick succession

0.9.32

• Reduced the overall difficulty of Legendary. Good Lord.

0.9.31

• Identical to 0.9.3 but not so it is the "latest"

0.9.3

• Legendary

0.9.21

• Fixed the Alloy Worship Unit evading my sight on Constructs DLC1 monster pool
• Fixed custom enemy material again

0.9.2

• Custom enemy wrong shader . Whoops .

0.9.1

• Fixed pissing off the planet whenever any halcyonite/holdout shrines were in the level
• Added High Charity
• The amount of work I put into high charity alone is ridiculous
• Completely redone general post-processing across all stages except Gephyrophobia

0.9.0

• The custom enemy is now fully ready
• Removed a few spawn cards to prevent incurring the wrath of the planet when any sort of pillars or holdout zones existed

0.8.9

• Missed one for the previous update

0.8.8

• Fixed missing interactables and enemies for clients

0.8.7

• Slightly tweaked constructs dlc1 monster pool by community request
• Gup Moment

0.8.6

• Apparently I forgot that Mithrix existed. Added a temporary bandaid
• Added gm_flatgrass
• Added a neat 1/4 chance for the GMod stages
• Reduced the brightness of the GMod stages and tweaked the post processing to try to make it feel more like Gmod
• Made the water on Construct have a no-gravity zone so you can move in it like its source engine water (kinda)
• Disabled the navblockers on Halo(Alt). whoops

0.8.5

• The Overambitious update. I went insane making this.
• Completely overhauled the stubbed material swapping system. It now just uses ShaderSwapper.
• Added a reskinned, "custom" enemy to gmconstruct (I could not figure out how to change its projectile.)
• Added a new, rare, interactable that only spawns on my stages (I could not figure out how to properly register it and add it to other stages.)
• Replaced the Teleporter on my stages with a Covenant Cruiser. It is functionally identical, just with a different model, discovery range, and some small neat things. Its a little bigger than the regular teleporter, mostly meant to assist with finding the teleporter on Halo/Halo(alt), but it was cool enough to put on 90% of the halo maps. It doesnt fit into Delta Halo due to its small size however. This might look a little ridiculous on some maps like Gephyrophobia or New Mombasa Bridge at times but whatever
• Removed all of the out-of-bounds nodes for Halo(alt), I got tired of having to rock climb to submit HUNKs samples
• Added easter eggs of a few halo weapons around a few halo stages as copium for wanting custom HUNK weapons, they functionally do nothing
• Probably a few dozen other things I updated that I cannot remember, just trying to get the EntityState on the custom enemy killed me (and I still never got it working)
• I was going to fix New Mombasa Bridge not being a post-loop stage, but honestly its fun getting it as a stage 3

0.8.2

• Fixed the skydomes of most maps. They will NEVER inherit lighting ever AGAIN
• Moved one of the guaranteed legendary chests in sandtrap to remove a two-for-one deal for HUNK players; It is still in the same room

0.8.1

• Fixed an issue where the ghost of a map passed would call out to the player like the Green Goblin mask, begging to be selected and softlock their run. For whatever reason, forgot to remove a SceneDef from the assetbundle that I dropped like a year ago.

0.8.0

• Add Delta Halo
• Scaled up construct by 1.35x to allow access to the secret room
• Gave gm_construct tf2 music temporarily
• Fixed New Mombasa Bridge's Boss Music not ending properly

• Fixed an issue where Halo's reflective water in the skybox was replaced with the wrong cubemap
• Changed how the volume_master interacts with music to reduce its double dipping nature

0.7.1

• Added gm_construct

• Nerfed the director starting credits for most stages to reasonable values
• Probably a few hundred other things I forgot about

0.6.2
