Not Really Loyal OSTs Mod

v1.1.7·Updated 2025-04-14

This mod adds music primarily from Christodolou's work (DEADBOLT, RoR1/R, RoR2), but it also adds a few more that are suitable to the game. Features are mainly edits on MrCounterMax's Osts mod and Ori

About this mod Author’s original text

Info

This pack consists of music primarily from three games: Risk of Rain 1, Risk of Rain 2, and DEADBOLT. I also added a few more tracks that aren't from those three, but I felt were fitting thematically speaking.

As for the final bosses, I simply had fun.

If you don't like the final boss tracks, I highly recommend simply muting the mod in the Mod Options. After all, they're properly trimmed for each boss phase in vanilla.

Massive credit goes to Kyle Paulsen for developing the original mod ( to MrCounterMax for extending that ( and to Chris Christodoulou for composing the soundtracks.

The mod doesn't actually replace the game's audio, it just plays it ontop/over it. Keeping this in mind, it mutes the game's music by default to avoid conflict-- this can be checked in the ingame settings.

This also means you can disable the mod anytime and switch to vanilla using RiskOfOptions.

If anyone wants this mod gone (for example, the original mod creators), feel free to message me in my Discord username: lightpuppet

Features

  • Most tracks are edited, courtesy of mostly MrCounterMax's mod. However, I edited a few as well.
  • Support on Custom Stages, like Forgotten Relic's Haven, Satellite, etc. Latest update should have minor support for the ProceduralStages.

Customization

Like OriginalSoundtrack and MoreOsts, settings.xml will allow you to customize music tracks. This means you can disable (or add new) tracks.

Compatibility

"The mod is incompatible with any other mod that is using NAudio.dll to play sounds. Make sure you either delete or disable the conflicting audio mods."

  • Seen in

This mod is, like its main inspirations, compatible to vanilla and non-SOTV. Meaning, you can play vanilla RoR2 with this and join an unmodded player (or the other way around).

Changelog

v1.1.7

  • Support for SOTS
  • Lowered some audio

v1.1.6

  • Added support for lakes (Verdant Falls) and one new track to play in the moon (I promise I won't add anymore not ror2). I only made Lakes have vanilla themes for now.
  • REALLY balanced audio... probably!

v1.1.5

  • Added support for Catacombs and included a new track for it (also plays in haunted). I might lessen count of custom tracks or separate the main menu music at some point.

v1.1.4

  • More music in Simulacrum, because the choices are normally lacking (more so without TP tracks)
  • Music support for random stages from ProceduralStages. TP music will choose from all TP tracks in the mod and likewise for the stage tracks (untested)

v1.1.2-3

  • Added some chill music in Newt's stage, because we like to go afk there (fixed)

v1.1.1

  • Added a final boss track that combines Mithrix and Providence's final themes. This means there're now 4 final boss tracks (2 of which are ROR2)
  • Fixed and brought back ROR2 menu music, whoops!

v1.0.9-10

  • All Returns (remastered and new) tracks implemented. Have fun hearing the difference!
  • All ror1 track variations have been removed, freeing some space. I might remove the ror2 variations someday, maybe.
  • Included Providence theme with Double Rainbow Returns for Mithrix fight.
  • Rebalanced some audio levels, especially the Final Boss tracks

v1.0.7-8

  • Added some Risk of Rain Returns tracks. I'm not sure if I'll add all the remastered tracks though.
  • Some tweaks on audio values and length.

v1.

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:
