About this mod Author’s original text

No More Distant Roost

Because Distant Roost is bad map

"Oh boy!! Distant Roost! Yippee!!!" - said no one ever

Features

  • Rerolls the first stage if it would be Distant Roost
  • Works seamlessly in singleplayer and multiplayer without configuration
  • Lightweight implementation that leaves the rest of stage selection untouched

Requirements

  • BepInExPack 5.4.2108 or newer
  • HookGenPatcher 1.2.3

Installation

  • Install the latest BepInExPack for Risk of Rain 2.
  • Download the NoMoreDistantRoost package.
  • Extract the contents into your Risk of Rain 2 BepInEx/plugins/ folder, or copy plugins/NoMoreDistantRoost/NoMoreDistantRoost.dll there.
  • Launch the game and start a run — any first stage other than Distant Roost can now appear.

Or just use a mod manager ^_^

Known Issues

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin

  1. The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
  2. Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
  3. Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
  4. Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.

Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.

Dependencies

Install these first, or the mod will not work:
