About this mod Author’s original text

StartBonusMod

This mod gives every player a configurable set of items and starting cash at the beginning of a run.

I made it so that I can use StartInBazaar in combination with BiggerBazaar and/or BazaarIsMyHaven.

This mod is also compatible with InLobbyConfig.

Starting Cash

  • Configure how much starting cash the player shall receive.

Simple Start Bonus Items

  • Simply choose for each tier which starting item and how many the player shall start with.
  • There is also the option for a random item.
  • Easiest to configure this is using InLobbyConfig.

Advanced Start Bonus Item List

A more involved item list which gives you powerful operators to really customize the item list you want to start with.

  • ItemList:
  • Defines what items players start with as a plain text string.
  • Items can be individual names, tiers, drop tables, or grouped sets with operators.
  • Separate item groups into AND lists (& operator) or OR lists (| operator), which cannot mix at the same level.
  • Example: 5xTier1 & 3xTier2 - Players start with 5 whites and 3 greens.
  • Equipment and items can be both specified in the same list. If multiple equipments are resolved, only as many are given as the survivor can hold.
  • Example: { BFG & 10xAutoCastEquipment } | { EliteFireEquipment & StrengthenBurn } - Players start either with a Preon Accumulator and 10 Gesture of the Drowned or with Ifrit's Distinction and 1 Ignition Tank
  • For the full documentation see ItemStringParser.

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:
