About this mod Author’s original text

The House

  • Adds the House, a mad gambler who relies on his luck to push through tough situations, using two mysterious artifacts of fate: a 6-Shooter-Revolver named "Roulette" and a seemingly cursed deck of playing cards.
  • Instead of having a Secondary, Utility, and Special abilities, The House draws 3 cards from a deck and uses those instead, upon using a card, he loses all three and draws a new hand, once you've run out of cards, the Discard pile is shuffled back into the draw pile, and you start over again.
  • His Revolver "Roulette" has 6 bullets that it fires in a random order, in order to reload the gun, you must activate one of the three drawn cards.
  • List of cards, bullets, and their effects can be seen in-game in the info screen.

To Do

  • Re-add the old model as an alt skin.
  • I'd like to add support for controller binds in the HuD, but I'm currently unsure how to actually go about it.
  • I need to add sounds to the new Tarot Cards from the Divination deck, idk when I'll get around to it, but it's something I'd like to have done.
  • Fix bugs, I'm sure I've missed some.

I'm leaving the below entries here because I find them funny.

  • As it currently stands, I've done literally no balancing for House with this rework, I've just used the numbers from the previous version, now, I WAS going to do some balancing before releasing this Update, specifically, I was going to nerf him, a LOT, but then I had my partner do a few test runs, and watched him stuggle to complete a run, so I have decided to do nothing for the time being, I'm very interested in seeing how he will be perceived through the communities lens of game ballance.
  • ([Developer's Note] My partner maintains that he didn't 'struggle', and merely 'gambled away' his runs:P.)

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:
