RE2 Randomizer Lite

A seed-based randomizer for Resident Evil 2 (2019). Start a new game, and it generates a different run every time.

What gets generated with each new game

• A starting weapon chosen from a weighted list (W-870, Matilda, MQ 11, SLS 60, JMB Hp3, Lightning Hawk, flamethrower, shock rifle, melee options, and more), with 8 to 40 rounds of the ammo it actually uses.
• Up to two starting key items, so some runs start with the keycard and others don't.
• A randomized order for finding key items, so there's no fixed route to memorize.

The checklist

The scenario's key items are listed in the randomized order for that run and automatically marked as you collect them, using the game's own check ("do I have this?"). The seed, your gear, and the entire checklist are saved to melty.log and updated every few seconds, so you always know what you got in that run.

Item and weapon names are read from your own copy of the game, so the checklist will be in your language.

What it doesn't do

No game files are modified, and no other mods are needed. REFramework is installed automatically when you start the game. This is a single-player mod.

Starting a new run

Start a new game. To ensure a fresh random generation even if a residual save state file is present, delete reframework/data/r2rand_state.txt.
