Rogue Gambling

Rogue Gambling

By Jay. Version 0.2.11 — alpha testing release.

Adds twelve roguelike upgrade cards to Gamble With Your Friends. Choose a starting card after leaving your packing box and gain another choice when returning from a casino run. Press Esc to view active card icons and hover for descriptions.

Installation

Install BepInExPack and this mod Mod Manager or r2modman. Every player must use the same mod version. Linux users should use their working Proton mod setup; Linux testing is pending.

Cards

Tax the Rich, The Grinder, Steady Pace, House Margin, Downsizing, Blind Man's Bluff, Pocket Change, Deep Pockets, Adrenaline Rush, Time Is Money, Heavy Weaponry, and Overdrive.

The Grinder caps bets at 10% of the normal machine maximum (minimum cap $1) and adds 30% payouts. Heavy Weaponry replaces teammate damage/knockback with restoring the teammate's last used item at their feet after it breaks or is consumed during casino runs; lobby bats retain normal knockback.

AI disclosure

AI was used to assist with the mod's code, development, and artwork. Design and direction by Jay.

Testing status

3,065 automated rule and native finance checks pass. Multiplayer bet isolation and the lobby bat fix still require an in-game retest. Other mods may conflict with altered game behavior.

Uninstall

Disable or uninstall through your mod manager. For a recoverable backup, copy this mod's folder from the profile's BepInEx/plugins directory before uninstalling. Configuration is BepInEx/config/local.gwyf.roguelikeupgrades.cfg. Game saves are not modified by uninstalling the plugin.

Late joiners receive one sequential choice per missed roll in the current hosted session, including the starting roll. Rejoining players keep earned progress; choices missed while disconnected remain available. Choices are shown in the lobby, and the next run waits until everyone catches up.

The host saves cards and earned-choice counts per native save slot, with player names and Steam IDs. Sidecar files are stored in BepInEx/config/RogueGambling-saves. Keep that folder when moving hosts or profiles. New saves begin tracking from installation; earlier unsaved card choices cannot be recovered automatically. Save/reload and multiplayer catch-up require an in-game test. The previously reported hang remains unresolved.

Version 0.2.11 retries client synchronization until host acknowledgement and resends pending choices. Active cards include Steam ID for identity changes. Host and clients must all update. Actual client UI and reconnect behavior need multiplayer verification.

Legendary odds: 12% chance of at least one legendary in a three-card offer (approximately 4.1716% per slot). Remaining common/rare odds retain their 2:1 ratio.

Heavy Weaponry replacements are marked by the server and cannot be restored again, including after dropping them or transferring them to a teammate. This marker follows the live item; native save/reload recreation of inventory items does not currently retain it. In-game restoration testing remains pending.

Version 0.2.11 rewrites all twelve in-game card descriptions for clarity. No balance changes.
