necrodancer-randomizer

Crypt of the Necrodancer Randomizer. Generates a mod randomizing things in the game.

What is randomized?

• Weapon appearance chances and cost (chestChance, shopChance, urnChance, coinCost, lockedChestChance and lockedShopChance attributes)
• Enemy behavior (stats, optionalStats and bouncer elements, keeping miniboss status)

The randomizer runs a "fair mode" that sets enemies moving every beat to either one health or two health with one damage.

If you are only interested in getting a random mod, please use this website.

Run the randomizer locally

Prerequisite: Node.js installed.

1. Clone or download this repository in the mods/ folder in necrodancer.
2. Run npm install in the necrodancer-randomizer/ folder to install dependencies.
3. Run node createMod.js to generate the necrodancer.xml, as it's already a mod, you can choose "Necrodancer Randomizer" in game to play it.

Programmatic usage example

var randomizer = require('./randomizer');

randomizer({
	seed: 13375330
}).then(function(xml) {
	// Do stuff
});

Available options

seed (string)

Seeds randomness using the parameter, if it isn't set, everything is a different random each time.

unfair (boolean)

If set to true, deactivates fair mode which sets enemies moving every beat to either one health or two health with one damage. Defaults to false.

writeFile (boolean)

If set to true, writes the necrodancer.xml file to the current folder. Defaults to false.

dest (string)

If set with writeFile to true, uses the file path passed in dest to write the file.

TODO

• Add how to use necrodancer.xml as a mod to this doc and on the website
• Make a true random mode instead of switching things around (togglable in settings)
• Add more settings
  • Activate miniboss randomization (with different random pools?)
  • List enemies/weapons to exclude / include from randomization
• Add settings changing in the website and API
• Test with DLC when it comes out
