v3.0 - Seeding

v3.0 - Seeding

This update adds a major change: the ability to use a predefined seed to get consistent randomisation for e.g. tournament races

This also provides a "SpeedrunMode" setting to force a common set of approved rules for speedruns

Detailed Changelog (from Github)

• New Meta.ini

• Break down HandleMission

Breaks down HandleMission into separate scripts - Start of the modular system
-Also changed regex to fix some issues

v2.1

This is the same beta release that should have been published a long time ago!
Sorry!

RandomiserCars has been updated, please consider redownloading if you downloaded before 24.11.2019

ADDITIONS

• [Beta 1] Adds a setting to remove forced car out outofvehicle conditions
• [Beta 2] Added randomising of the item above race/bonus mission NPCs
• [Beta 2] Added ability to randomise static cars (e.g. phone booth and bonus vehicles)
• [Beta 2] Added verbose debug for debugging specific issues
• [Beta 2] Added ability to force certain randomisations for debugging specific issues
• [Beta 3] Random Bonus Missions
• [Beta 3] Random level missions to play missions from other levels sharing the map
• [Beta 3] Random Text
• [Beta 3] Speedrun mode

CHANGES

• [Beta 1] Changed the entire back-end code on handing MFK files, making the below possible:
• [Beta 1] RandomItems now randomises multiple instances of the same item (e.g. Bonestorm is now 10 different item drops)
• [Beta 1] RandomMissionVehicles now randomises multiple instances of the same car (e.g. Cell-outs and Operation Hellfish)
• [Beta 2] RandomItems now has the option to include characters and cars in the drops list
• [Beta 3] AI tire grip is massively increased so they drive better
• [Beta 3] Chair (Custom car) has lower HP
• [Beta 3] Beta releases have much higher debug output by default

BUG FIXES

• [Beta 1] Fixed a bug causing some dialogues to freeze
• [Beta 1] Fixed Traffic pizza van and BnF pizza van being randomised to the same car
• [Beta 2] Fixed a bug with sound limits crashing the game
• [Beta 2] Fixed gags in RandomInteriors
• [Beta 2] Fixed RandomItems crashing missions with race objectives
• [Beta 2] Fixed an issue when saving randomised mission cars
• [Beta 3.1] Fixed an issue with Speedrun Mode where it didn't fully force the settings

KNOWN ISSUES

• RandomCarSounds can rarely cause crashes at any time. Cause by unknown limitations with car sounds.
• Some missions with random missions won't load the area. A mission restart should fix this.
• Random static vehicles may produce model errors (missing wheels, etc)
